"Analogue Productions returns with another in its very
popular 'Wonderful Sounds' series that began with a Christmas compilation and
followed up in 2018 with a female vocalist assemblage. Like those two, AP's
Chad Kassem selected the tunes from among titles he's licensed over the years
for whole album reissues on SACD and AAA vinyl.... Use this compilation as a
'listening booth' to discover unfamiliar music or just enjoy song after great
well-recorded 'demo quality' song. While some like Aaron Neville's cover of
John Hiatt's 'Feels Like Rain' and The Beach Boys' 'In My Room' will be
familiar others probably won't be — like Willis Alan Ramsey's 'Sympathy for a
Train,' Willy DeVille's 'Spanish Jack' and perhaps JD Souther's 'Silver Blue'
(with Stanley Clarke on bass). Many fans of Belafonte at Carnegie Hall have
never heard the encore 'Scarlet Ribbons,' which is here too." — Music = 10/11; Sound = 10/11 — Michael
Fremer, AnalogPlanet.
"Can't stop exploring The Wonderful Sounds Of Male
Vocals! The album is stunning not only because of the exemplary high standard
of recording it showcases, but also because of the satisfying range of artists
and music genres presented across the four sides. There are wonderful surprises
to discover as well as wonderful sounds." — Kevin Howlett
Kevin Howlett is an award-winning U.K.-based radio producer
and writer. He's been closely associated with The Beatles throughout his long
career, having written numerous books about the group as well as making radio
documentaries about them for the BBC and Apple Corps. He was deeply involved in
the recent super-deluxe editions of Sgt. Pepper, "The White Album"
and Abbey Road, both writing the books and researching the original session
tapes. Other artists and companies Howlett has documented for radio or in books
include David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon, Jimmy Webb, Frank Zappa,
Elektra Records and Ortofon.
Ready for another go with A-list caliber demo tracks chosen. Here in our
Analogue Productions Wonderful Sounds series, we have a treat for you —
following up on The Wonderful Sounds of Christmas, and Female Vocals, we've put
together The Wonderful Sounds of Male Vocals — stone-cold killers from the
first song to the last!
When you want to show off your hi-fi system's potential, why
waste time with multiple LPs? Skip the searching, un-sleeving, re-sleeving and
more — and give your audiophile friends what they like to hear. Grab this album
and you'll hear show stoppers by Amos Lee, Dean Martin, Aaron Neville, Roy
Orbison, Willie Nelson, Pure Prairie League, Harry Belafonte, Pete Seeger, The
Beach Boys, Willy DeVille, Greg Brown, JD Souther, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Tony
Bennett, Harry Nilsson, Tony Joe White — and what would a male vocal
compilation be without the truly great Elvis Presley? Just how good older
recordings can sound when the touch of an exceptional mastering engineer is
involved is demonstrated by the matchless Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound.
Like others in our Wonderful Sounds series, this album works
well as entertainment and as a great sampler of the LPs, mostly released by
Analogue Productions.
Michael Fremer, of AnalogPlanet and Stereophile Magazine,
walks you through each track and its historic place with very thorough and
entertaining liners.
Plating and pressing was done at Quality Record Pressings,
where Gary Salstrom and his crew manufacture the world's best-sounding LPs with
their exceptionally quiet playing surfaces.
From "Fever" to "Spanish Jack," and
"Amie" to "Blue Bayou" and everything in-between —
"Georgia on My Mind," "(I Left My Heart) In San Francisco,"
"Silver Blue" and more — you'll be relishing this LP with each play.
Make the easy selection and enjoy listening.
