"A Curious Feeling" is the debut solo album from Genesis founder member and keyboard player Tony Banks. This classic album, inspired by the novel "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes, was first released in October 1979 by Charisma Records. Significantly, this new edition of A Curious Feeling has been remixed from the original master tapes by Nick Davis (who also remixed the entire Genesis catalogue in 2007) and Tony Banks, resulting in a more dynamic sounding album.

"Dirt Floor" is the fourth studio album by a rootsy, blues-influenced rock guitarist who spent his career on the margins of mainstream acceptance. It was produced by Craig Street and recorded live direct to a two-track analog recorder using a single stereo ribbon microphone by Danny Kadar at Blue Moon Racing Shop (Whitley's father's barn) in Bellows Falls, Vermont.

This 60 minute program showcases Sara K's unique blend of acoustic folk, blues, pop, and jazz in an intimate setting. It features classics like If I Could Sing Your Blues (with special guest Chuck Mangione), Horse I Used to Ride, and I Couldn't Change Your Mind. "With the sparest backdrop of guitar, bass and light percussion, Sara's vignettes are personal and romantic, spun from a calm center that can only house those with the sense to find it…Thanks to the flawless production, Sara sounds as if she's playing right in your living room".

Esoteric Recordings is proud to release of a new re-mastered deluxe expanded edition of SUNBURST FINISH the legendary 1976 album by BE BOP DELUXE. Recorded in the Autumn of 1975 at Abbey Road studios (with some sessions also taking place at AIR studios in London), SUNBURST FINISH was the third album by Be Bop Deluxe and the first to feature the line-up of BILL NELSON (vocals, guitars, keyboards), CHARLIE TUMAHAI (bass, vocals), ANDY CLARK (keyboards) and SIMON FOX (drums). It was also the first Be-Bop album to be co-produced by BILL NELSON and JOHN LECKIE. An album of immense musical inventiveness and creativity, SUNBURST FINISH was one of the finest albums of its era, a perfect cohesion of ten classic songs written by Bill Nelson and a stylised and striking artwork package.

Guitarist Herb Ellis is joined by rhythm guitarist Freddie Green, pianist Ross Tompkins, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Jake Hanna for this lightly swinging but uneventful program which has been reissued on CD. Since Green as usual does not solo, his contribution is purely as a background player. Ellis, Tompkins and Brown are the lead voices on a variety of swing tunes; best are "It Had To Be You," "A Smooth One" and "When My Dream Boat Comes Home".

The selections are a mixture of standards, most of them typical jazz springboards (though the 1940s pop hit "To Each His Own" seems to be new to the medium) with a Brown original and showcase, "Blues for Junior," and another original, "Captain Bill," that contains associations with Count Basie. Whether playing fast or slow, the three musicians interact well together, the younger Alexander holding his own with his veteran partners.

"Centipede Hz", the 10th Animal Collective album, follows the widely celebrated "Merriweather Post Pavilion" (2009) and it's the first since "Strawberry Jam" (2007) to feature all four original band members: Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist and Deakin. As the album's opening drum crashes and radio interference immediately make clear, Animal Collective have made their most widescreen and fully realized music to date. The album is a panoramic set of songs that shimmer with the confidence and wonder of Animal Collective's unique inner logic and the luminous warmth of their sound world.

Recorded in late 1960, Kenny Drew's seventh recording as a leader is significant for many reasons, not the least of which that it is one of the finest Blue Note hard bop statements in either of their catalogues. Teamed with rising young star trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and the wonderful tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley fresh off stints with Donald Byrd and Art Blakey, Drew joined the ranks of the premier mainstream jazz pianists just prior to moving permanently to Europe. He's a complementary piece of the puzzle as a player, but stirs the drink as the composer of all of these very fine hard bop vehicles.

"Electric Arguments" is the third album by The Fireman, an experimental music duo consisting of Paul McCartney and producer Youth (Martin Glover). It is the first Fireman release to be publicly acknowledged by McCartney, and the album cover features the names of both contributors.

The influence of Charlie Parker can be heard in virtually every modern jazz musician, particularly players of the alto saxophone. Although considered to be one of "Bird's Children", Lou Donaldson absorbed and synthesized other pre-Parker influences, such as Johnny Hodges and Benny Carter. This recording marks a period in his development prior to a stylistic shift away from bop and toward a stronger rhythm and blues emphasis.

This classic 1977 album featured 3 monster hits: "Cocaine", "Wonderful Tonight", "Lay Down Sally", was ranked in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", and hit #2 on the Billboard Album Charts. Matching Clapton's legendary guitar playing with some of his greatest songwriting, the album is among the best recordings of the legendary musician's career. Everyone needs at least one copy of this classic.

It was 50 years ago when The Beatles' John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr astonished and delighted the world, ushering in the Summer of Love with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, a groundbreaking masterwork that became popular music's most universally acclaimed album. The album is newly mixed by Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell in stereo, sourced directly from the four-track masters at Abbey Road Studios in London. Here's this newly re-mixed stereo track of the legendary album, along with fresh remixes of Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane, all taken from the ADVD disc, released as part of the Super Deluxe Edition.

Megadeth's vital, Platinum selling album, "Peace Sells… But Who's Buying?", has been digitally remastered for the first time and expanded for a commemorative 25th Anniversary release in multiple configurations. The version contains the original album remastered for the first time and a previously unreleased 1987 concert from the band's first world tour.
