A legend whose roar shook the world and whose soul gave rock its edge. Ozzy wasn't just the Prince of Darkness - he was the heartbeat of heavy metal, a fearless icon who turned chaos into art and lived unapologetically loud. His music, his madness, and his magic will echo forever!

“Enrumbado”, the new CD by the duo composed of Sicilian accordionist Antonino De Luca, who now lives in the Marche region, and Marche saxophonist Leonardo Rosselli, with the special participation of the great Spanish flutist Jorge Pardo, considered one of the great innovators of contemporary music for his ability to blend jazz and flamenco and for his prestigious collaborations with Paco de Lucía, Camarón de la Isla and Chick Corea (with whom he won a Grammy in 2020). An original project – dedicated to the Brazilian multi-instrumentalist and composer Egberto Gismonti – which explores the encounter between flamenco culture, Brazilian culture, the world of electronic experimentation and concrete music.

This two disc 40 track compilation features some of the biggest Rock hits recorded by some of the most famous artists of all time, many of them taken from the esteemed EMI catalog.
Queen, Pink Floyd, Phil Collins, Van Morrison, Peter Gabriel, Foreigner, The Pretenders, Genesis, Mike Oldfield and many more.

Pink Floyd Some bands turn into shorthand for a certain sound or style, and Pink Floyd belongs among that elite group. The very name connotes something specific: an elastic, echoing, mind-bending sound that evokes the chasms of space. Pink Floyd grounded that limitless sound with exacting explorations of mundane matters of ego, mind, memory, and heart, touching upon madness, alienation, narcissism, and society on their concept albums of the '70s. Of these concept albums, Dark Side of the Moon resonated strongest, earning new audiences year after year, decade after decade, and its longevity makes sense.

Henry Mancini was an American composer, conductor and arranger, who is best remembered for his film and television scores. Often cited as one of the greatest composers in the history of film, he won four Academy Awards, a Golden Globe, and twenty Grammy Awards, plus a posthumous Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1995. His best known works include the theme to The Pink Panther film series ("The Pink Panther Theme"), "Moon River" to Breakfast at Tiffany's, and the theme to the Peter Gunn television series. The Peter Gunn theme won the first Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Mancini also had a long collaboration on film scores with the film director Blake Edwards. 2014 three CD box set containing 60 of the composer/arranger's finest recordings. Features 'Moon River', 'Baby Elephant Walk', 'Peter Gunne' and many others.

There are already so many "best-of" collections of Gerry & the Pacemakers – including previous releases from EMI, Capitol, and Collectables – that this double-CD set from EMI's U.K. division probably won't seem very impressive or important. Actually, very little of the band's history is left out, at least in terms of the various facets of their music – the hits are all present, along with a brace of engaging B-sides and LP and EP tracks that greatly broaden the range of music at hand. The quartet's best-known songs are well-crafted pop/rock in a Merseybeat mode, but they had a harder side as well, and even traded in some R&B and country sounds, and those aspects are represented here in between the hits. Some listeners who like their more rocking sides, such as "Jambalaya," "Maybellene" or "Pretend," may not appreciate the presence of such string-laden pop as "Walk Hand in Hand" or "Girl on a Swing," but this is a valid representation of their sound. And the sound is optimal, to put it mildly, with lots of presence on all of the instruments.

Little Girl Blue, released in 1959, was Nina Simone's first recording, originally issued on the Bethlehem label. Backed by bassist Jimmy Bond and Albert "Tootie" Heath, it showcases her ballad voice as one of mystery and sensuality and showcases her uptempo jazz style with authority and an enigmatic down-home feel that is nonetheless elegant. The album also introduced a fine jazz pianist. Simone was a solid improviser who never strayed far from the blues. Check the opener, her reading of Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo," which finger-pops and swings while keeping the phrasing deep-blue. It is contrasted immediately with one of the - if not the - definitive reads of Willard Robison's steamy leave-your-lover ballad "Don't Smoke in Bed"…

As far as overlooked geniuses of the U.K. psychedelic underground go, the man known as Twink certainly belongs on the shelf alongside Kevin Ayers, Kevin Coyne, Syd Barrett, and Robert Wyatt. As drummer for the Pretty Things and, later, the Deviants, as well as being one-half of Shagrat with Steve Peregrin Took, Twink was integral in the creation of some of the U.K. psychedelic underground's most brilliant artifacts. His Think Pink session contains the classic Twink tracks "The Sparrow Is a Sign" and "The Coming of the Other One," which were cut with Steve Peregrin Took of Tyrannosaurus Rex fame. Incidentally, both tracks appear on the Shagrat album that was only officially released in 2001: Pink Jackets Required, which plays the sister album to the Twink solo outing in question.

The very name connotes something specific: an elastic, echoing, mind-bending sound that evokes the chasms of space. Pink Floyd grounded that limitless sound with exacting explorations of mundane matters of ego, mind, memory, and heart, touching upon madness, alienation, narcissism, and society on their concept albums of the '70s.

Emergency (1971). Originally released in 1971 on CBS, Emergency's 1st Album (with Udo Lindenberg on drums) is reissued legally for the first time on both formats Vinyl and CD. Often declared as brass-rock this album is a lot more: It shows the group with many influences, it's a meeting of guitar driven progrock by English guitarist Barrie Newby with east-euro jazz-rock influences mixed with Anglo-American styles as instigated by the likes of Chicago Transit Authority (Emergency's 'I'm a man' is 'Gimme some lovin'' by the Spencer Davis Group)…

Formed in Hereford in 1969, and originally named the Doc Thomas Group, the mighty Mott The Hoople changed their name after signing with Island Records later the same year. The band released albums at the beginning of the 1970s but failed to find any success. On the verge of breaking up, Mott were encouraged by David Bowie to stay together. Bowie wrote their glam-style signature song ‘All the Young Dudes’ for them, which became their first hit in 1972. Bowie subsequently produced their album of the same name, which added to their success. Bowie had originally offered Mott "Suffragette City", later to appear on his Ziggy Stardust album. They turned it down, but Bowie then penned ‘All the Young Dudes’ for them, and it became their biggest hit. Released as a single in July ‘72, it was a success in the UK. Bowie produced an album, also called All The Young Dudes. In November ’72, MTH travelled to the US for a short tour there, opening on 24th at the Hollywood Palladium. The next night, they moved on to The Tower Theater in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, for a show which included David Bowie as both the compere, and backing vocalist on “All The Young Dudes”, their penultimate number, plus a finale of The Rolling Stones’ ‘Honky Tonk Women’.

The latter part of 1975 was a remarkably creative period for Brian Eno. With his masterpiece Another Green World, Eno began moving away from the structure and sound of pop music toward a more static instrumental model, influenced in part by Erik Satie and strongly informed by his prior collaborations with Robert Fripp. Recorded just a month after Another Green World, Discreet Music is his first full foray into what has become known as ambient music. Using the same system of two reel-to-reel tape recorders as No Pussyfooting and Evening Star, Eno was able to layer simple parts atop one another, resulting in a beautiful piece of music that never really changes but constantly evolves with the addition and decay of different parts…

Three years after the release of her successful Essentials II, Jazz diva Karen Souza is back with her fourth studio album. Velvet Vault is the title of a collection that combine jazz standards with jazz reworks of pop classics plus two songs co-written by Karen herself. Japan's superstar Toku duets with Karen on the track You Got That Something. Also part of the album are Robin Banerjee (Amy Winehouse guitarist) and legendary Tom 'Bones' Malone (Blues Brothers, Saturday Night Live Band). Vocals has been recorded in New York at The Orchard studios and produced by Richard Gottehrer (of Blondie, Richard Hell and Dr. Feelgood fame). The album's first single Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, will be available on November 10th. Velvet Vault is without a doubt, Karen Souza's most accomplished record to date and will definitely surpass the success of her previous efforts.

Pollini's traversal of Chopin's 19 Nocturnes (he leaves out the pair of posthumous ones) is one of his finest recordings in years. His long-lined yet detailed performances are comparable to the very different ones that have long stood at the pinnacle of recorded sets. Not as serene as Artur Rubinstein's, not as philosophical as Claudio Arrau's, nor as warm as Ivan Moravec's, Pollini's interpretations have their own allure. One is the way he shapes the melodies with a natural flow enhanced by his tonal beauty, less lean and streamlined than his usual way with Romantic music.
