New releases and pre-orders – 17th November 2017

Sharon Jones sadly passed away around a year ago , but thankfully she recorded one last album ‘Soul of a woman’ which is now released on CD , Lp and limited edition red vinyl. Detroit’s legend Amp Fiddler returns with a strong album ‘Amp Dogs night’ now in on CD and LP. Peckam’s finest Ruby Rushton have impressed us this year with two strong albums and they make it three with Trudi’s songbook Vol 2, another fine set.
There are some great Jazz reissue LP’s this week. Cream of the crop is Billy Parker’s Forth World – ‘Freedom of Speech’ featuring Donald Smith and Dee Dee Bridgewater on vocals. It is magnificent Spiritual jazz album originally released on the Strata East label , and the Analogue reissue on Pure Pleasure has an incredible warmth of sound, close to if not better than the rare original. Also from the Strata East label is the rarity John Gordon ‘ Erotica Suite’ . We are also back in stock of the Pharoah Sanders ‘Izipho Zam’ reissue LP for the moment. Joe Henderson’s magnificent ‘The Elements’ ft Alice Coltrane also has a very high quality analogue reissue and the rare Lyman Woodward organisation ‘Saturday Night Special’ originally on the Detroit Strata label now presented as a double LP with extra tracks on BBE.  All of these titles are limited editions, so please order early to secure your copies.
There is a good double CD Anthology of the classy Phyllis Hyman.
