About this product
Judy Collins transformed the sound of folk music. With a crystalline voice and a songbook blurring traditional genre lines, the Seattle native came to prominence in the fertile Greenwich Village stomping grounds of New York City. The luminous Collins - a classical piano prodigy, talented guitarist, gifted adapter and later, songwriter, and singer with a three-octave range - signed with Jac Holzman's Elektra Records in 1961 and remained an Elektra artist for nearly two-and-a-half decades. The '60s Singles brings together, for the first time, the remarkable array of 45s on which Collins' discography was built. With songs by Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Randy Newman, Sandy Denny, Eric Andersen, and Joni Mitchell - including the international smash InchBoth Sides NowInch - Collins' early Elektra singles reflected impeccable taste, a vast musical imagination, a hunger to explore material from rock to art songs, and a powerful social conscience. Every one of these fourteen single sides is presented in it's original single mix - most of which are unique mixes and edits, with the first ten songs in mono and the final four in stereo. These versions have been out of print and unavailable for over five decades and all have been painstakingly restored for this collection. Highlights include Collins' first foray into folk-rock, the mono non-LP single of Bob Dylan's InchI'll Keep It with Mine;Inch the rare promotional stereo mix of Joni Mitchell's InchChelsea Morning,Inch different from the commonly-available stereo version; and two versions of the classic InchTurn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season).Inch Mike Milchner has remastered every track, The Second Disc's Joe Marchese has penned the new liner notes diving into the history of each song, and John Sellards has designed the package in the style of the era.

![Ramon Morris - Sweet Sister Funk - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/bd8353c1-6269-4205-8ca7-e3596cb67786.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Next up in Mr Bongo's Groove Merchant Records reissue series, we present the only solo album saxophonist Ramon Morris recorded as a bandleader. Having cut his teeth playing with the iconic band Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers and working with other jazz greats, including Reuben Wilson, Shirley Scott, Rashied Ali Quintet, and Woody Shaw, 1973 saw Ramon take the step into solo territory. The resulting album Sweet Sister Funk became a certified classic and a landmark showcase of the cherished '70s jazz-funk sound, later sampled by the likes of DJ Premier, The Alchemist and DJ Shadow.Originally released on Sonny Lester's iconic Groove Merchant record tag and produced by Lester himself, Sweet Sister Funk is a jazz-funk masterclass. It features a slick line-up including Cecil Bridgewater on trumpet, Mickey Roker on drums, and Albert Dailey on electric piano. Rich and beautiful, the seven songs ebb and flow in energy, fusing jazz funk and soul jazz with style and swagger. There are bags of groove with Ramon and Cecil trading off on sax and trumpet in an effortless conversation throughout the LP, supplemented by brilliant solos from the rest of the players. A gold mine of sampling material, the album includes a sublime cover version of The Stylistics' much-loved 'People Make The World Go Round', which was sampled by DJ Shadow on Blackalicious's 'Swan Lake' in 1994. Elsewhere, the percussion and bass intro of the opening track 'First Come, First Serve' is a sampler's delight - a deep, heavy groove with a fine saxophone workout by Ramon. Head to 'Don't Ask Me' and you'll find the swinging horn intro that formed the basis of 'You Came Up' by Big Pun featuring Noreaga from 1998, whilst 'Wijinia' has echoes of '70s indie jazz by labels such as Strata East & Black Jazz. Here at Mr Bongo, we are proud to be delving into the vaults of Groove Merchant Records once again, reissuing th

Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 . Heart's Ease follows 2017's Lodestar, Shirley Collins' first record in 38 years, and one that brought Shirley's widely missed voice back to fans. An album broader and brighter in tone than Lodestar, it finds Shirley exploring warmer themes and features three songs less rooted within the folk tradition.
