Vendor: Little Richard
Type: CD
Price: 19.99

Little Richard’s 1957 debut launched the career of a foundational figure in music, and featured some of the artist’s best-loved hits, including “Long Tall Sally,” “Ready Teddy” and “Tutti-Frutti,” a song which many consider to mark the birth of rock ’n’ roll. This deluxe, 2-CD edition of Here’s Little Richard celebrates the album’s 60th anniversary, and includes a slew of demos, outtakes and previously unreleased tracks, as well as new liner notes by GRAMMY®-nominated writer Chris Morris.

Vendor: John Coltrane

Please note that this is the standard, OJC pressing of John Coltrane's Lush Life, not the sold-out Small Batch edition.

Clocking in just under 40 minutes, it features performances by session players like Red Garland, Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb and more. Features Coltrane's renditions of compositions by Yip Harburg, Arthur Schwartz, Sammy Cahn and more.

Vendor: The Pharcyde

Price: 32.99

Critically acclaimed as an absolute classic of the alternative Hip-Hop genre, it’s been name-checked by Kanye West as his favorite album of all time and aptly described by NME as  "... a cartoon-strip of blunt-smoking antics, sexual innuendo and unashamed political incorrectness, crammed with infectious funky beats.” 

A true West Coast original that sprang up amidst the early 1990s gangster rap landscape like LA’s answer to De La Soul’s D.A.I.S.Y.-Age mentality in its freeform creativity.

Features

Vendor: R.E.M.
Type: Vinyl
Price: 37.99

When Monster was released in September 1994, the members of R.E.M. were at a crossroads in their career. Singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry were decompressing from the massive commercial and critical success of 1991’s Out of Time and 1992’s Automatic for the People. In just a few years, the Athens, GA, four-piece had become one of the biggest, most recognizable bands in the world. It had also been six years since the group had toured. By the time that work began on Monster, they were itching to end their self-imposed hiatus and get back on the road. The band was also looking for a sonic shake-up. While R.E.M.’s last two albums were full of ballads, acoustic rock songs and intricate arrangements, the group was ready to record something grittier, brasher and highly playable on stage.

Celebrating Monster's 25th anniversary, this expanded 2-LP edition offers the original album remastered, plus a special 2019 remix from producer Scott Litt. The set also features liner notes by journalist Matthew Perpetua—with new insight from band members—and archival photographs, as well as re-imagined cover art.

Highlights include the singles “What’s The Frequency, Kenneth?,” “Crush with Eyeliner,” “Star 69,” “Strange Currencies,” “Tongue,” and “Bang and Blame.”
