TED NUGENT KENTUCKY STATE FAIR - From A Live FM Broadcast Recorded At The Kentucky State Fair, Louisville, KY, 26th August 1995. 1995 saw the release of Ted Nugent s Spirit Of The Wild, his first and only solo album of the 90s. The record also witnessed the return of vocalist Derek St. Holmes, who had featured on many of Nugent s early LPs. Spirit Of The Wild ultimately peaked at No. 86 on the Billboard Charts and marked a return to critical acclaim, with many praising Nugent for reviving his original heavier, hard rock sound. To support the album, Nugent set out on a 27-date U.S. tour throughout 1995. One of his finest performances during this time was given at the Kentucky State Fair, which took place at Cardinal Stadium, Louisville on 26th August with support from British hard rock supergroup Bad Company. Recorded for live simultaneous FM broadcast across the United States, and playing a selection from his latest record as well as a number of older favourites and covers - including The Amboy Dukes classic Journey To The Centre Of The Mind and Jimi Hendrix s Red House - this whirlwind show is now available in its entirety on this CD for the first time.

Having carved out an immortal legacy via her unique voice, unmatched compositional skills and individual style, Stevie Nicks has received enormous renown for her work both with Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist. Having originally left the band in 1991, she joined the reunion of the classic Fleetwood Mac line up in 1997, and their subsequent live album The Dance received multiple Grammy nominations. After being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the rest of Mac in 1998, and following the conclusion of their reunion tour, Stevie began work on her next project, Enchanted, a three disc rarities box set covering Nicks' entire solo career to date. To celebrate this release, Nicks embarked on a 46-date tour of the United States. On 14th August 1998 she performed at Max Yasgur's Farm, NY, the site of the legendary Woodstock Festival that had taken place 30 years before. Recorded for live FM radio and TV broadcast, this two disc set features the entire recording of this spectacular show for the first time.

With Le Cimetière des Arlequins, Ange got noticed in France (their home country), in the European progressive rock circles, and in Quebec. Not that this LP is particularly stronger than their debut Caricatures, but it's lead track, a completely rewritten and very theatrical rendition of Jacques Brel's "Ces Gens-Là," brought them immediate attention. Christian Decamps' exaggerated pronunciation and theatrical characterizations, backed by Francis Decamps' extended use of the Mellotron and a strong rhythm section, lifted the band to prog rock stardom, even though artistically speaking, Ange would record better albums in the few years to come.

Live In Paris & Ottawa 1968 presents two fiery live performances that highlight Jimi Hendrix’s rapidly evolving music repertoire as the rock trio embarked on a worldwide tour in support of their sophomore release, Axis: Bold As Love. Part one begins with a rousing performance at Paris’ famed L’Olympia Theatre on January 29, 1968, marking The Experience’s third performance at the venue in just over a year. Originally released as part of the 1991 box set Stages, The Experience’s L’Olympia Theatre performance makes it’s return engagement to CD for the first time in more than 15 years. Like all previous recordings in the Dagger Records library, Live In Paris & Ottawa 1968 is once again highlighted by posthumous studio engineering and mastering by our dynamic technical team of Eddie Kramer and George Marino.

Saratoga Performing Arts Centre, N.Y. State, September 1st, 1984

The release of Harmony in the fall of 1971 gave Three Dog Night their seventh gold record in less than three years, yielding two Top Ten singles with Paul William's "Old Fashioned Love Song" (number four) and Hoyt Axton's "Never Been to Spain" (number five). In addition, William's "Family of Man" would just fail to crack the top of the charts, rising as high as number 12 by March of 1972. This continued commercial brilliance would, unfortunately, have negative repercussions on vocalist Chuck Negron's personal life with a car accident, following a substance-fuelled mixing session, signaling the beginning of his protracted slide into drug addiction and eventual transience.

Monster is the fourth studio album by Canadian-American rock band Steppenwolf. The album was released in November 1969, by ABC Dunhill Records. It was their first LP with new lead guitarist Larry Byrom instead of Michael Monarch. The album was Steppenwolf's most political album, making references to important issues at the time, such as the Vietnam War.

One of two paired box sets chronicling the entirety of Kate Bush's recorded work as of 2018, Remastered, Vol. 2 features upgrades of the three albums since 2005: Aerial, Director's Cut, and 50 Words for Snow. In addition to these records, Remastered, Vol. 2 contains four CDs of non-album tracks, featuring a disc of 12" mixes, two discs of B-sides (labeled "The Other Side"), and a disc of covers (called "In Others' Words"). For the diehards, having these rarities on a proper album is reason enough to acquire Remastered, Vol. 2, and they do elevate a box that doesn't have as many classics as the first box: the 2005 comeback Aerial is teamed with an album where she revisits her past and the lush orchestral 50 Words for Snow. Like its cousin, Remastered, Vol. 2 boasts clean, detailed remasters that feel fuller than their predecessors. That's appropriate for music as sumptuous and transporting as this; the improved fidelity has the effect of making the music seem more vivid, not less.

After a string of releases on Sony Classical that have redefined the parameters of the classical recital album, Khatia Buniatishvili is returning to tradition with a recording of two of Mozart’s most sublime late piano concertos. Khatia Buniatishvili joins an iconic orchestra in performances of two cherished piano concertos by Mozart.

Ashes and Dust is a masterful work of art and a particularly important statement for the Grammy Award winning artist Warren Haynes. The songs are immediately and clearly different from his usual style - encompassing beautiful acoustic arrangements, a rootsy/Americana soundscape and honeyed vocals that cut straight through to the soul. Knowing that he wanted to pursue a more folk-based approach on this project, he brought in the New Jersey-based Americana band Railroad Earth as collaborators. This 2-CD deluxe edition package features 5 bonus tracks.

The ultimate Yes tribute and collection! Features Yes and many of their side projects and solo work. Includes previously unreleased tracks and rarities.
Along with Emerson, Lake & Palmer, King Crimson and Genesis, Yes is without a doubts the most important of the British progressive rock band of all time. The original sound of the group was a something never Heard of when its self- titled debut album came out in 1969. In The Many Faces of Yes we present an unknown side of the band, with recordings by the group as a whole and also by solo members, including rarities and other gems.
In CD 1, "The BBC Sessions", we presented the group with their original lineup (Jon Anderson on vocals, Peter Banks on guitar, Bill Bruford on drums, Chris Squire on bass and Tony Kaye on keyboards) with their performanc es in the London's BBC Radio…

Despair, loss, love, and existential struggles have always been the foundation of Harakiri For The Sky’s distinctive sound. Since their formation in 2011, multi-instrumentalist M.S. and vocalist J.J. have gained recognition for pushing musical boundaries with their emotionally charged blend of atmospheric extreme metal and melodic post-rock, grunge and modern hardcore, carving out a genre of their own.
Taking four years to craft their next epic chapter after 2021’s "Maere" (which peaked at #4 on the official German charts), Harakiri For The Sky will now release their new tour-de-force, "Scorched Earth", on January 24th through AOP Records. The album is a snapshot of the world we are living in, a world that’s tragically broken…

On the occasion of the Bruckner bicentenary, the Vienna Philharmonic recorded its first ever complete Bruckner cycle under the baton of Christian Thielemann. In addition to the well-known canon of nine symphonies, the two earliest Bruckner symphonies in F minor and D minor, which are a world premiere on DVD and Blu-ray, were also recorded for the first time in the orchestra's history. This uniquely complete edition from the Musikverein and Salzburg Festival, featuring 11 symphonies, also includes extensive conversations with Christian Thielemann about each symphony and insights into his rehearsal work.

The Black Crowes' debut album, Shake Your Money Maker, may borrow heavily from the bluesy hard rock grooves of the Rolling Stones and Faces (plus a bit of classic soul), but the band gets away with it due to sharp songwriting and an ear for strong riffs and chorus melodies, not to mention the gritty, muscular rhythm guitar of Rich Robinson and brother Chris' appropriate vocal swagger. Unlike their later records, the Crowes don't really stretch out and jam that much on Money Maker, but that helps distill their virtues into a handful of memorable singles ("Jealous Again," "She Talks to Angels," a cover of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle"), and most of the album tracks maintain an equally high standard. Shake Your Money Maker may not be stunningly original, but it doesn't need to be; it's the most concise demonstration of the fact that the Black Crowes are a great, classic rock & roll band.
