About this product
When America released their self-titled album debut in the U.S. in January 1972, few could have predicted just how perfectly this young trio would capture the sound of an era. With shimmering acoustic guitars, golden harmonies, and songs that seemed tailor-made for open highways and endless skies, America became one of the defining folk-rock albums of the 1970s.From the instantly recognizable strum of 'A Horse with No Name' to the wistful beauty of 'I Need You' and 'Sandman,' this is the album that launched the band's career - and helped set the tone for the decade's laid-back West Coast sound. It's a record that feels both intimate and expansive, full of youthful wonder and a timeless sense of melody.America earned the band a Grammy Award for Best New Artist, went multi-platinum, and remains a touchstone for generations of songwriters and listeners alike. Collectors continue to prize early pressings for their warmth and musicality - and now, this definitive audiophile edition delivers the album with greater depth, detail, and realism than ever before.Cut from the original tape with meticulous care by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, and pressed on ultra-quiet, perfectly flat vinyl by Quality Record Pressings, America has never sounded so alive. Every guitar shimmer, every breath of harmony, every heartbeat of Dewey Bunnell, Gerry Beckley, and Dan Peek's chemistry is restored with breathtaking clarity.America is a cornerstone of early '70s acoustic rock. It's evergreen magic, lovingly revived. 1971 Classic defined a generation!Part of the Acoustic Sounds 40 SeriesReleasing 40 titles to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Acoustic Sounds!Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original master tape180-gram 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record PressingsHoused in a Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jacketTracklist LP 1 Side A1.

In Rainbows, as a title, implies a sense of comfort and delightfulness. Symbolically, rainbows are more likely to be associated with kittens and warm blankets than the grim and glum circumstances Radiohead is known for soundtracking. There's a slight, if expected, twist at play. The band is more than familiar with the unpleasant moods associated with colors like red, green, and blue - all of which, of course, are colors within a rainbow - all of which are present, and even mentioned, during the album. On a couple levels, then, In Rainbows is not any less fitting as a Radiohead album title than InchMyxomatosisInch as a Radiohead song title. The one aspect of the album that becomes increasingly perceptible with each listen is how romantic it feels, albeit in the way that one might find the bioport scenes in David Cronenberg's to be extremely hot and somewhat unsettling. Surprisingly, some of the album's lyrics are even more personal/universal and straightforward than anything on The Eraser, the album made by singer Thom Yorke and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich. The album is very song-oriented, with each track constantly moving forward and developing. Yet there are also abstract electronic layers and studio-as-instrument elements to prevent it from sounding like a regression. In Rainbows will be remembered as Radiohead's most stimulating synthesis of accessible songs and abstract sounds, rather than the world's first pick-your-price download.
