Black Tea

The forgotten superheroes of 20th-century black music, the leather-lunged blues shouters, dominated the US nightclub stages and R&B charts for half-a-dozen years or so following World War II, before being side-lined by the bourgeoning rock n roll storm in the early 1950s. Still considered a force with which to be reckoned in the US music industry of the mid-fifties, and still at the height of their vocal prowess, many of the biggest stars were granted one or two final shots to save their flagging recording careers during rock n roll s heyday - their Last Shout.

Legendary electro-house collection with 14 albums studio-mixed by the famous Stephane Pompougnac, resident DJ of the luxurius Hotel Costes in France. In 1999, Pompougnac published his first studio mix, "Costes: France et Choiseul" (Vol 1 of the collection) that achieved a huge commercial success. Pompougnac continued to release more volumes and his first three mixes collectively sold nearly half a million copies. The collection includes all the 14 volumes released from 1999-2011 (except 2 best-of compilations). Note that there is no Hotel Costes Vol. 13 compilation as there is no room 13 in Hotel Costes. Enjoy one of the most popular electronic music collections around and relax with the mesmerising mixes of Stephane Pompougnac.

The Complete Led Zeppelin collects the eight studio albums the foursome released between 1969-79, plus the posthumous ninth and final studio album Coda, released in 1982, after the death of drummer John Bonham. This is the core of ‘70s classic rock that travels far beyond the definition. While Led Zeppelin were clearly among the early progenitors of ‘Heavy Metal,’ back when it was considered to be loud, blues-based music, they hardly stayed in one place long enough to be defined as anything other than Led Zeppelin. They mastered hard rock with their lead-off track “Good Times, Bad Times” and nailed British folk on III and “The Battle Of Evermore.” IV became their centerpiece, every song a classic, with “Stairway to Heaven” serving as their national anthem. Houses of the Holy and Presence emphasized their ability to groove, while their double-album Physical Graffiti was the prototypical sprawling double album that all major rock artists tried once. In Through the Out Door explored synthesizers and featured everything from epic Zeppelin to old school rock ’n’ roll and the heartbreaking “All My Love.”

In the 1950s and 60s, the blues was the dominant form of Black vernacular music throughout Texas and the surrounding areas. In segregated neighborhoods, community members gathered in saloons, dancehalls, and each other's homes to hear their neighbors sing their stories of sorrow, heartbreak, jubilation, and triumph. Robert "Mack" McCormick, an academically untrained but fanatical devotee of the blues, stepped into this world and became one of its most devout advocates and documentarians.
