Tracks 1 to 24 are home demos recorded in 1974. Tracks 25 to 29 are studio out-takes with the KT Bush band recorded in 1975. A little history is in order regarding this release for those who may not know the story.
In 1972/73 Kate recorded several tapes of songs. Twenty to thirty of these songs were presented to record companies by John Carder Bush's friend Ricky Hopper, at first without success. Then Ricky Hopper presented the songs to David Gilmour. Gilmour noticed her talent, but also the bad tape recorder quality. A recording session took place at Kate's house with Gilmour in 1973. Only Kate was recorded, accompanied by her piano, but with a better recorder. Gilmour has spoken at least twice about this session in interviews. “I did some recording at her house, her parent's house…I know that one of the first songs that I noted was ‘The Man With the Child in His Eyes’, out of many songs that she had written. She was only 14, I think, when I met her, maybe just about 15.”

Triple-disc collection from Virgin Records featuring acoustic tracks from Al Stewart, America, Bert Jansch, Bob Dylan, Buffy Saint-Marie, David Gray, Don McLean, Kirsty MacColl, Gary Jules, Rickie Lee Jones, Paul Mc Cartney, Tracy Chapman, Jim Croce and many more. 2004. Here’s a 65 track, 3 x CD compilation of ‘acoustic’ tracks from the 1950s through to the early 2000s. By far, one of the best compilations out there with well known hits brilliantly placed together with lesser known classics that didn’t always trouble the chart placings. There certainly isn’t a ‘filler’ track on any of the discs and even the more ‘folky’ disc 3 is superbly constructed to keep the listener enthralled throughout.

Recorded in Sweden at Radiohuset, Stockholm on Sept. 12th, 1967. The live recordings that comprise this album were made for radio broadcast in Sweden at Radiohuset, Stockholm, on Sept. 12th, 1967. Back in the '60s, trying to capture any kind of concert performance was difficult. Most live recordings were fairly primitive because mobile recording equipment wasn't capable of capturing each individual performer. When The Beatles were recorded at the Hollywood Bowl, all that was available was a three track tape recorder, and there were four Beatles! It took over fifty years of technological developments before Giles Martin was able to make the recordings even remotely listenable. Sveriges Radio didn't have multi-track recording equipment either. However, its balance engineers did an excellent job recording Traffic, who performed with both amplified (electric guitar and organ) and acoustic (sitar and drums) instruments.

Joe Simon is one of the premiere R&B voices of all time. Over a career spanning five decades, "The Mouth of the South" has racked up 35 Billboard pop hits and 50 R&B hits, exploring an encyclopedia of R&B genres ranging from gospel to doo wop, countrysoul, the '70s sound of Philadelphia, Blaxploitation, disco, and a subsequent return to Simon's spiritual side. But, because his hits were evenly split between two different labels, there has never been a definitive compilation…until now. Step by Step—The Complete Pop Hits presents all 35 of Simon's pop smashes, including his maiden chart success, "My Adorable One," released by Vee Jay in 1964, then his 18 hits for the Sound Stage 7 and 16 hits for the Spring labels. Among the tracks are such gems as Simon's Grammy winning version of "The Chokin' Kind," the Gamble & Huff-produced "Drowning in The Sea of Love" and "The Power of Love," "Theme from Cleopatra Jones," the title song that he wrote and produced for the Warner Brothers smash 1973 film, fan favorites "Misty Blue," "Your Time to Cry," and the title track, and his Top Ten smash "Get Down, Get Down (on the Floor)."

Wild Women Dont Have the Blues, the debut album from Nancy Harrow, is a hidden gem. A vocalist celebrated for her genuine jazz artistry, Harrow shines on this outing. Here, without mimicry or pretense, the artist delivers performances that swing effortlessly. Produced by the legendary Nat Hentoff, this 1960 recording assembles an extraordinary band led by Buck Clayton, with arrangements designed to highlight Harrow's bold and natural style. Among the stellar lineup, NEA Jazz Master and guitar icon Kenny Burrell stands out with his lyrical, soulful playing, weaving beautifully into the albums rich musical tapestry. Burrells contributions, alongside the likes of Buddy Tate (tenor saxophone), Dickie Wells (trombone), and Milt Hinton (bass), bring a depth and warmth that elevates every track.

The song that went around the world has, like its story, long ago become a legend, and several times the subject of film plots. A cloth from which dreams are cut: One was named Betty, was called Lili and worked in a vegetable cellar. The other was a nurse and was named Marleen. The young soldier, who had to stand watch at the army base, loved them both. So much, that he immortalized them in a poem, in which both girls into merged one figure: Lili Marleen. A quarter century later the song became a hit that was sent nightly into the ether from a German soldiers’ radio station in Belgrade, overnight beginning its triumphant advance around the world.

For the superfan and the curious alike, this is the band-curated entry point and career-spanning collection of songs from the one and only Rilo Kiley, who defined a generation and continues to influence indie rock to this day. After a long absence, Rilo Kiley—Jenny Lewis, Blake Sennett, Jason Boesel, and Pierre “Duke” de Reeder— are back, with arms outstretched. Over the years, a reunion “felt like a possibility, but it was never the right time,” explains Boesel. “Planning this reunion over these past months has been like reconnecting with family. We haven’t missed a beat,” says De Reeder. “The stakes are only to have a good time, to revel in this nostalgia. Getting to revisit and celebrate the music from that special time of our lives while experiencing it alongside a lot of people that lived it with us back when, and new folks alike.”

The fifth and sixth albums released in 1965 as related albums to the TV show of the same name are reissued in 2-in-1 format! This CD is a coupling of his two solo albums released in 1965, "My Name Is Barbra" (5th album) and "My Name Is Barbra, Two…" (6th album). Both albums were released on April 28 of the same year on CBS. In 1965, Barbra was only 23 years old. Despite this, the high degree of perfection and the dignified manner in which she sings are nothing short of astonishing. The combination of the imposing, young singer with the vigor and freshness of a new generation is a boundary that will leave the listener in a state of intoxication. Commentary:Kazunori Harada
