About this product
Few debut albums hit with the seismic force of Montrose. Released in 1973, this powerhouse record didn't just introduce guitarist Ronnie Montrose and a then-unknown vocalist named Sammy Hagar - it practically rewrote the rules for American hard rock.From the opening riff of 'Rock the Nation' to the thunder of 'Bad Motor Scooter' and 'Space Station #5,' Montrose delivers 35 minutes of pure, high-octane energy. It's lean, loud, and loaded with attitude - the album that bridged the gap between Led Zeppelin's muscle and Van Halen's flash. In fact, Eddie Van Halen himself cited Montrose as a blueprint for what would come next.Produced by Ted Templeman (soon to helm Van Halen's own breakout), the record's sound is all killer instinct and no filler - massive guitar tones, airtight grooves, and Hagar's raw, unfiltered vocals in peak form. It's the kind of album that never left the turntables of rock fans, and it's still hailed by critics as one of the greatest debut albums in rock history.Now, this classic gets the treatment it's always deserved. Mastered with precision from the original tape by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, and pressed on dead-quiet, perfectly flat vinyl by Quality Record Pressings, this edition captures every ounce of the album's fire and punch - the way it was meant to be heard.Turn it up, drop the needle, and feel the spark that lit an era. Montrose isn't just hard rock history - it's the sound of ignition.The Birth of American Hard Rock - now on audiophile vinyl!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.

Ennio Morricone - Mussolini Ultimo Atto (Original Soundtrack) - Limited Blue Colored Vinyl [VINYL LP] Blue, Colored Vinyl, Ltd Ed, Italy - Import date 02/13/2026
Since their foundation in 1994, Moon Far Away, hailing from Arkhangelsk, Russia, have developed a unique style out of the established neo-folk tropes of the western world and the musical heritage of their home turf - the Russian North; a hotbed within the country for literature, visual arts, architecture and, of course, music. With influences as diverse as their background, they engaged in neoclassical dark wave and world music on earlier releases, and have remained a relatively unknown gemstone until this day. In the meantime, the group has honed it's colorful blend to quasi-perfection, which is more than evident on it's fifth record and Auerbach Tonträger/Prophecy Productions debut, InchAthanor EurasiaInch. While deftly weaving together acoustic guitars and wind instruments, as well as both female and male voices, this new album is a neo-folk of outstanding quality with the traditional song always in focus. In part, the result harks back to the likes of Death In June, Forseti or Sol Invictus (whose Tony Wakeford appears as a guest on 'Celebrate!') whereas other tracks are adaptions of passed-down Northern Russian folk tunes the band collected on expeditions to the Arkhangelsk Oblast - the musicians' subarctic home region. Within this dense tapestry all threads, regardless of their geographical or cultural origin, make up a unified whole that defies categorization. Thus, InchAthanor EurasiaInch venerates the tradition of shared space both conceptually and musically. InchIt is not about country borders or maps, emigrants or geopoliticsInch, stresses Count Ash, the group's masked leader. InchWe like to think of InchAthanor EurasiaInch as the first album of Eurasian neo-folk in that it is based on the canons outlined in the West, yet enriched with the ideas and sentiments born in the East. This is how we have been living and creating for many years, feeling complete
