Blue Train: The Complete Masters

On September 15, 1957, John Coltrane went into Rudy Van Gelder's studio and created a 40+ minute masterpiece that is considered one of the greatest jazz albums of all time.

This year marks the 65th anniversary of the recording of John Coltrane's only Blue Note album, "Blue Train," and the release of this complete edition, which includes seven takes, four of which have never been released before, in addition to the latest remastering. Features the high-fidelity SHM-SACD format (single layer). Stereo. Japanese exclusive release.

You may have all of these great songs, but this album brings them all together and it makes one terrific listen. Hit after hit comes at you like a runaway train, so good to the ears and it hammers home just how fantastic Elvis' voice was and his delivery of each song, pure magic. You'll never hear these songs come at you in this way even if you played each single one after the other like this. It's so refreshing to hear great music in this way, fantastic album.

"Elvis: The Complete 1954-62 U.S.A. Singles" is a curious release, from an independent British label, issued in 2015. It's like a mini-boxed set, comprising 4 CDs. The 100 tracks - 25 on each disc - are, according to the sleeve notes, Elvis's "complete 1954-62 American singles, presented here in the order in which they were issued, as well as all of his American EPs from the same period".

Elvis Aaron Presley[a] (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), also known simply as Elvis, was an American singer, musician and actor. He is regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century and is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King". During the last years of his life he accepted the Islamic faith and died a Muslim. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, led him to great success—and initial controversy.

The threesome released two albums together, "Trio" (1987) and "Trio II" (1999), which have combined to sell more than five million copies worldwide and win three Grammy Awards. Both of these classic albums have been newly remastered for a three-CD collection packed with rare and unreleased music produced by Harris. The bonus disc is loaded with 20 songs, including alternate takes and completely unreleased recordings from the trio spanning both album sessions.

Doris Day (* April 3 1922 as Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff in Cincinnati, Ohio; † May 13, 2019 in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California) was an American film actress and singer.

1968 was a tragic time for Memphis. Just before Christmas '67, Otis Redding, the biggest star of local soul music label Stax Records, was killed in a plane crash. In April 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel. Also that spring, Stax lost control of its catalog of recordings to Warner. Undeterred and unwilling to fail, new label co-owner Al Bell decided to build a roster of acts that included The Staple Singers, Isaac Hayes, and Johnnie Taylor.

The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) are an English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1970. The band lead by songwriters/multi-instrumentalists Jeff Lynne. Their music is characterised by a fusion of Beatlesque pop, classical arrangements and futuristic iconography. During ELO's original 14-year period of active recording and touring, they sold over 50 million records worldwide, and collected 19 CRIA, 21 RIAA, and 38 BPI awards. For a period in the mid 1970s, the band saw more success in the United States, where they were billed as "the English guys with the big fiddles". From 1972 to 1986, ELO accumulated twenty seven Top 40 songs on the UK Singles Chart, and fifteen Top 20 songs on the US Billboard Hot 100. The band also holds the record for having the most Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 hits (20) without a number one single of any band in US chart history. In 2017 the classic ELO line-up have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
