Top releases of the week – 21st March 2014

Its a bumper week for new releases, reissues and Vinyl reissues this week.

New Soul releases from Will Downing, Ledisi, Floacist, Ruben Studdard and others combine with great Afrobeat from Seun Kuti, and funk of Nick Pride and Jazz from Go Go Penquin to make it the best week of the month for new material.

Japanese CDs

There is a batch of great Warner jazz 24 Bit mastering albums at a great price, plus another installment of Miles Davis bootleg live concert. Super high quality 180gm Analogue master Vinyl issues for Carmen Lundy’s fantastic Changes album plus an unissued Tubby Hayes set and welcome reissue of Steve’s classic Songs in the key of life are amongst the vinyl highlights.

Singles

Pharrell Williams Happy is finally available on a vinyl 12″ and Paul Johnson and Guida De Palma have good singles. Also we have managed to get a few more copies of the Motown 7s box set, so if you missed out last time now is your chance to grab one of these.
