I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Record Store Day 2014 Update From Varèse Sarabande Records


From Varèse Sarabande Records and Universal Music Distribution

Due to unforeseen manufacturing issues the Genesis vinyl album From Genesis To Revelation will, unfortunately, not be ready to ship in time for this year’s Record Store Day.  Varese has been working diligently with our manufacturer Erika Records to resolve the problem. While checking test pressings in quality control, both of us found points that did not meet with either of our production standards.
 
Fortunately, the album will be available to release for Black Friday in the fall. 
This is the first time this album will be available on vinyl since its original U.S. release in 1974. The album features the original multi-platinum-selling core Genesis line-up of Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks, Anthony Phillips, and Peter Gabriel.

New Release from Varèse Sarabande Records


New Release from Varèse Sarabande Records and Universal Music Distribution

Available March 11th, 2014 

Pure, haunting, meditative, somber, simple and classic: The Everly Brothers’ 1958 Songs Our Daddy Taught Us made a seminal artistic statement without pretension. A concept album before there was such thing; a return to basics before rock music had even matured. It all came naturally to Don and Phil Everly, the chart-topping brothers, recording stars aged just 21 and 19 respectively.

Every extant session tape from the August 1958 sessions for Songs Our Daddy Taught Us was reviewed for this reissue. Alternate takes of four of the songs – “Roving Gambler,” “Down In The Willow Garden,” “Barbara Allen,” and “Put My Little Shoes Away” – were selected as bonus tracks and are all, heretofore, unissued. Of particular note are rough early takes of “Down In The Willow Garden,” the first of which shows producer Archie Bleyer experimenting with incorporating electric instrumentation into the sessions. Bleyer ultimately thought the better of it and stayed true to the original concept of presenting the songs and performances in their purest form.

Track List:
1 Roving Gambler
2 Down in the Willow Garden
3 Long Time Gone
4 Lightning Express
5 That Silver Haired Daddy of Mine
6. Who's Gonna Shoe Your Pretty Little Feet
7 Barbara Allen
8 Oh So Many Years
9 I'm Here to Get My Baby Out of Jail
10 Rockin' Alone (In an Old Rockin' Chair)
11 Kentucky
12 Put My Little Shoes Away

Bonus Tracks:
13. Roving Gambler (Take 1 - previously unissued)
14. Down In The Willow Garden (Take 1 electric - previously unissued)
