XLD Rip | FLAC (tracks, cue, log) - 1.5 GB | MP3 CBR 320 kbps - 670 MB
4:52:46 | Rhythm & Blues, Funk, Soul, Blues Rock | Label: Capitol Records / EMI

The new king of the hill as far as retrospectives of early New Orleans R&B/rock go. This four-CD, 119-song box has hits by all of the major artists and hits and misses by most of the important minor ones as well. The standards for inclusion are flexible and reasonable: Although New Orleans residents usually carry the day, important records that were recorded in New Orleans by non-natives are also featured. Fats Domino, Little Richard, Irma Thomas, Lee Dorsey, Smiley Lewis, Chris Kenner, Barbara George, Ernie K-Doe, Clarence "Frogman" Henry, Lloyd Price, Aaron Neville, Professor Longhair, Shirley & Lee, and Dr. John are all here, as are one-shots and regional figures like the Showmen, Earl King, Benny Spellman, Dave Bartholomew, and the Spiders.

Louis Armstrong - Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man 1923-1934 (1994/2019)
WEB FLAC (Tracks) - 651 MB | 04:10:22
Jazz | Label: Columbia/Legacy

This very attractive four-CD box set has definitive liner notes from Dan Morgenstern, and draws its 81 selections from Louis Armstrong's prime period. Why then does it not receive the highest rating? Armstrong's immortal Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings, along with his early big band sides, had already been reissued complete, and in chronological order on seven Columbia CDs and his less interesting performances as an accompanist to various blues singers (some of which are on this set) have also been reissued in similar fashion.

FLAC (tracks) 24-bit/96 kHz | Front Cover & Digital Booklet | Time - 96:17 minutes | 1,59 GB
Classical, Vocal | Label: Hyperion Records, Official Digital Download

The centuries do indeed ‘roll away’ as the libretto addresses questions of empire—Roman and Victorian—and Britain’s place in the world. But that shouldn’t detract from the music; this is simply glorious and worthy of the mature Elgar.

The Byrds - The Broadcast Archive (Live) (2017) Music

The Byrds - The Broadcast Archive (Live) (2017)
Classic Rock, Folk Rock, Psychedelic Rock | MP3 CBR 320 kbps | 02:38:27 | 371 MB
Label: Video Music, Inc.

The Broadcast Archive is a three CD set of radio broadcasts – semi-professional bootlegs in other words. Two of the albums have actually been out (on this label!) since 2015, one is new for 2017 and the whole have been repackaged into a single box set. The Byrds isn’t an exactly honest representation of the box, as Electric Ladyland 1991 is a Roger McGuinn concert. This isn’t such a problem since it’s by far the best CD in the set – the sound is pretty good quality and amongst several Byrds songs there are plenty from his last big studio album Back From Rio. It’s good to hear McGuinn with a full band – the trees are all gone boils with eco-concern, King of the Hill is a jangly tale of rock star drug abuse, Eight Miles High is a fine set closer.
