"A follow-up to Brubeck's seminal Time Out album, 1961's Time Further Out is an impressive encore, featuring the 'classic quartet' lineup with Brubeck on piano, Paul Desmond on sax, Eugene Wright on bass and Joe Morello on drums. Tunes like 'It's A Raggy Waltz' and 'Unsquare Dance' allow Brubeck to show off his virtuosity, making some extremely difficult music seem absolutely effortless. A true classic! Also featuring the bonus track, 'Slow And Easy' which was not released until 1996." 180 gram vinyl.

"Finally available again on vinyl. Mulligan's long out-of-print 1962 Verve LP. Legendary baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan formed his concert jazz band--a 13-piece piano-less big band featuring five reeds, six horns and a two-piece rhythm section--in the spring of 1960. The West Coast-based band played widely around the US and by autumn of that year was touring Europe (where Mulligan was already well regarded) to enthusiastic audiences. Recorded in Santa Monica, Milan and Berlin in autumn of 1960, and featuring some amazing solos by tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims, these 9 mostly original Mulligan compositions, also feature the bonus tracks 'As Catch Can' and 'Young Blood', not found on the original LP."

"Finally available again on vinyl. Rare 1962 Victoria Spivey LP featuring a young Bob Dylan on harmonica and back-up vocals, accompanying Chicago blues legend, Big Joe Williams!! Recorded on 2 March 1962 in NYC and originally released on Victoria Spivey's own Spivey Records, the remainder of this obscure LP features Spivey, along with blues greats Roosevelt Sykes and Lonnie Johnson trading off on vocals on a variety of self-penned compositions. Remembering this album Bob Dylan said, 'I think one of the best records that I've ever been a part of was the record made with Big Joe Williams and Victoria Spivey. Now that's a record that I hear from time to time and I don't mind listening to it.'" 180 gram vinyl.

"Long out-of-print, Billie Holiday's brilliant 1956 LP, Velvet Mood, released on Clef (soon-to-be Verve) Records, captures the 41-year-old Holiday backed by a sextet that featured Benny Carter on alto sax and Harry 'Sweets' Edison on trumpet. Although hard living had already begun to take its toll on Holiday (who died just three years later), she was still a huge international star at this time, giving sold out concerts at Carnegie Hall and touring Europe. 1956 also marked the year that her legendary biography, Lady Sings the Blues was released." 180 gram with CD version.

"Peaking at number 32 on the album charts, Surfin' Safari was the Beach Boys' 1962 debut LP. The original 12-song track list, found here on side A, features the band's first two singles -- 'Surfin'' and 'Surfin' Safari', while side B is made up primarily of rare outtakes from their 1961-62 Candix studio sessions. The two tracks, 'Barbie' and 'What Is a Young Girl Made Of?,' were actually issued as a single in early 1962 under the name of Kenny & The Cadets, and feature a 20-year-old Brian Wilson on lead vocals." Comes on 180 gram vinyl and includes a CD copy of the album.

"Finally back in print. This rare Morton Feldman/Earle Brown split LP was originally released in 1962 on the small NY-based Time Records and features Feldman's 'Durations I-IV' on side A and Brown's 'Hodograph I,' 'Music for Violin, Cello and Piano' and 'Music for Cello and Piano' on side B. David Tudor is featured on piano throughout. Feldman and Brown, who were both interested in non-traditional systems of notation and improvisation, were very closely aligned with the New York School, a group of avant-garde composers in the 1950s and '60s that included John Cage, David Tudor, and Christian Wolff. These composers applied to music many of the same ideas and experiments that visual artists, like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Robert Rauschenberg, were applying to painting." On 180 gram vinyl.

"'Guitar groups are on their way out,' was what the biggest fool in rock and roll history wrote to Brian Epstein when he rejected the Beatles' after listening to this audition tape, recorded at Decca Studios on New Year's Day, 1962. Although the boys (with Pete Best on drums) were admittedly still finding their footing here, and the three Lennon-McCartney originals may be no match for 'Love Me Do' (recorded just 10 months later), these 15 songs still have all the makings of a band whose stardom would soon obscure the sun."

"A seminal album of the French ye-ye era, Françoise Hardy's self-titled debut (known in the US as The 'Yeh-Yeh' Girl From Paris!) was released shortly after her debut single 'Oh Oh Chéri' in 1962. The success of this album, along with its hit 'Tous Les Garçons Et Les Filles', made the eighteen-year-old French bombshell a huge star in Europe and an icon of the French fashion and music industries. Along with other ye-ye girls of the sixties, like Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot, France Gall, and Sylvie Vartan, Hardy exuded a kind of sexy innocence that made French women the most liberated and the most desired in the world."

"Rockabilly icon, Eddie Cochran, best known for his 'Summertime Blues,' embodied the rebellious spirit of American teens, who in the 1950s were in the middle of a cultural revolution. Cochran, a teenager himself when his first hit, 'Sittin' in the Balcony', was released in 1956, was an extremely talented (and good-looking) musician, on the cusp of major stardom when he was suddenly killed in a car accident at the age of 21. Despite his early demise, this collection of hits only confirms Cochran's role as one of rock music's greatest architects." On 180 gram vinyl with a CD version of the album.

"Some of the first eastern-jazz fusion ever recorded, finally reissued on LP. Originally recorded in 1962 for World Pacific and featuring jazz musicians Gary Peacock on bass and Bud Shank on flute, the album opens with improvisations on the theme that Shankar wrote for the 1955 Indian neorealist film Pather Panchali, by legendary Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray. 'Fire Night' was another jazz-fusion piece, recorded to commemorate the fires that were burning all around LA when this session was recorded. The remaining two tracks, however, are traditional Indian pieces and serve to juxtapose the two major styles in Indian classical music. The first piece, 'Karnataki,' is in the Carnatic (southern Indian) style, while the second, 'Raga Rageshri,' is in the (northern) Hindustani style (which, of course, Shankar's himself was a master of). Includes original liner notes. Comes on 180 gram vinyl."
