This is Santana's first record on Numbered Limited Edition Gold CD from Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs.
Originally released the same month as their incendiary set at Woodstock, this impressive debut for Columbia kick-started a Hall of Fame legacy that lasts still today. Establishing one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in rock; Carlos’ signature tone and phrasing coupled with Afro-Cuban percussion virtually launched Latin-Rock fusion. Both AM and FM airwaves were scorched in the ensuing months with their charted singles Evil Ways (#9) and Jingo (#93) plus Soul Sacrifice, a favorite after it’s featured spot in the Woodstock movie and soundtrack.

Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass: Take Love Easy XRCD Model/Varenr.: 99198
Although the other recordings from this duo are also great, this title is my most favorite one. Every song stands out for their unique jazz interpretation of these classic tunes. Vocal/jazz duos are very difficult to pull off, but you'd never know it by listening to these recordings. Joe Pass's guitar work here is some of his best in a duo setting. Ella's melodic improvisations on these tunes is incredible. Definately one of the greatest jazz duos of all time.
Gary Karr - Super Double Bass XRCD24 Model/Varenr.: 99114
Bassist Legend Gary Karr performs popular standards on a milestone in
fine audio sound, XRCD24! Gary Karr is a very unique double-bass
virtuoso, beloved by many who like the mellowness and deep tone of the
double bass. Gary's interpretation of the Master's works is touching
and profoundly musical.
Jennifer Warnes - Famous Blue Raincoat (Gold Edition) Model/Varenr.: 99199
Cisco Music proudly presents Jennifer Warnes' Famous Blue Raincoat on 24 Karat Gold CD for the best sound possible! This deluxe Gold CD reissue contains four previously unreleased songs!
Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane XRCD Model/Varenr.: 99197
Kenny Burrell's guitar-playing sounds a lot like Wes Montgomery, who didn't make a splash in the jazz world until two years after this recording date. That means this disc would be worth buying for his leading work alone. But when you add in support three of the seven artists who created the classic "Kind of Blue" record just a year or so later, you of course have a first-rank album on your hands.
MIGHTY SAM MCCLAIN - GIVE IT UP TO LOVE XRCD Model/Varenr.: 99278
Rhythm & Blues legend Mighty Sam McClain's first release for AQM received every possible accolade including Pulse! Magazine's Blues Album of the Year for 1993. "Do not miss this! I wore out my copy playing it over and over." - Michael Fremer, Stereophlie Magazine.
One of the most acclaimed and influential albums of all time. Recorded in 1965-66 and released in May of 1966, “Pet Sounds” is forever battling with the Beatles’ “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band” for the best album ever recorded. George Martin, the Beatles’ producer, stated that “Without Pet Sounds, Sergeant Pepper wouldn’t have ever happened.”
The Sheffield Lab Drum & Track Disc XRCD24 Model/Varenr.: 99123
Dynamics and sheer energy at their best! The drums solos are a severe
test for any HiFi system if played - as they should always be -
extremely loud (a live drum kit sounds very loud...). A realistic 3D
image is included too. Musically, you have to love this Toto-style kind
of Music.
