1 is a greatest hits album of the English rock band the Beatles, originally released on 13 November 2000. The album features virtually every number-one single the band achieved in the United Kingdom or United States from 1962 to 1970. Issued on the 30th anniversary of the band's break-up, it was their first compilation album available on only one CD. 1 was a commercial success and topped charts worldwide. It has sold over 31 million copies. Since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking US album sales in January 1991, 1 is the fourth-best-selling album in the US, the best-selling album of the 2000s decade in the US, as well as the best-selling album of the decade worldwide. 1 was remastered and reissued in September 2011. It was remixed and reissued again in several different deluxe editions in November 2015, the most comprehensive of which is a three-disc set entitled 1+, which includes video discs of Beatles promotional films. As of June 2015, 1 was the sixth-best-selling album of the 21st century in the UK, having sold over 3.1 million copies.
Best known as the winner of the third season of France's The Voice: La Plus Belle Voix, Kendji Girac is a passionate singer known for his genre-bending mix of Latin-infused pop, dance music, and contemporary flamenco. Born in Bergerac, France in 1996, Girac was accepted for The Voice with his performance of Maître Gims' song "Bella." Competing as a member of singer (and The Voice coach) Mika's team, Girac became a fan favorite, eventually winning first place in January of 2014 with 51-percent of the public vote. After his win, Girac released his eponymous debut EP. In August of 2014, Girac returned with his full-length album debut, Kendji, featuring the singles "Color Gitano," "Andalouse," "Elle M'a Aimé," "Cool," and "Je M'abandonne." It spent ten weeks at number one in France during late 2014 and early 2015.
Reissue with latest 2015 DSD remastering. Comes with liner notes. A bold little message from alto saxophonist Lenny Hambro – a very strong record that should have made him as much of a giant on his instrument as contemporary talents like Lee Konitz or Herb Geller! Hambro has some of the soulful edge of the latter, and lots of the crisp, modern chromes of the former – especially in the way he runs alongside some great guitar in the group from Dick Garcia – a player we mostly know for his work on the Dawn label at the time, but who really makes the record something special here. The rest of the combo features Wade Legge on piano, Clyde Lombardi on bass, and Mel Zelnick on rhythm – and Hambro's sax work is angular and very deft – already at the top of his game. Titles include the Legge originals "Slave Girl", "Message In Minor", "Moon Slippers", and "Hoof Beats" – plus Hambro's "Thanatopsis" and "The Lonely One".
