Stephen Stills - Stephen Stills - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]

This self-titled solo debut from CSNY's most musically adventurous member is a tour de force of bluesy rock, Latin grooves, and pure, unfiltered Stephen Stills energy. His songs are certainly in a league with those of the other members, and it's chiefly on his solo albums that Stills's own personality comes through.Still's Top 20 hit 'Love the One You're With' was the lead single from the album, released in November 1970. The album's other smash, 'Sit Yourself Down,' the seccond single, reached the Top 40, peaking at No. 37. Stills doesn't just play guitar here - he wrestles it into submission, layering his virtuosity over an album that sounds both meticulously crafted and effortlessly cool.Oh, and did we mention it features both Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton? Because it does. That's like having both the Beatles and the Stones as your backup band.Recorded in the wake of CSNY's success, Stephen Stills proves that while Crosby and Nash leaned into their harmonies and Young wandered off into his own world, Stills was busy crafting something bolder, grittier, and sonically rich.Stills jumps from folk to blues to Latin to orchestral balladry, but it never feels disjointed. The production is warm and immersive, with Stills playing most of the instruments himself (because of course he does). If Deja Vu was a collaborative masterpiece, Stephen Stills is proof that he could do just fine on his own.This definitive deluxe 180-gram 45 RPM 2LP Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) reissue of Stephen Stills, is mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original master tape, and is pressed on 180-gram double LP at Quality Record Pressings.

Keeping It Real for More Than 50 Years Bill Withers' Still Bill Is an Understated Soul Masterwork Distinguished by Unstinting Consistency, Universal Emotions, and Smooth Singing. Mastered on Mobile Fidelity's Renowned Mastering System Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Plays with Lifelike Richness, Detail, Texture, and Transparency. Named One of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time by Rolling Stone 1972 Benchmark Includes the Hits 'Lean on Me' and 'Use Me'. As it turns the corner on it's 50th anniversary, Bill Withers' Still Bill remains true to it's title - and stands as the greatest malefronted soul album not made by a singer named Marvin, Al, Sam, James, or Ray. Though the saying 'keeping it real' did not exist in popular parlance when Withers released his sophomore effort, no words better capture the music's approach, mindset, and value. Every facet of Still Bill radiates honesty, truth, and emotion. These characteristics - along with hybrid folk-funk-R&B arrangements, deceptively simple songwriting, and invigorating rhythms - have allowed the album to endure to the point where it sounds as fresh today as in 1972. Withers' calm, self-assured voice hovers above everything, doubling as a warm blanket that adds comfort and grace to lyrics steeped in maturity, perspective, and compassion. Mastered on Mobile Fidelity's renowned mastering system, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition hybrid SACD of Still Bill gives this rich classic the luxe treatment it has always deserved. Replete with intoxicating detail and depth, the reissue zeroes in on the music's crux - Withers' unique, rich, West Virginia-accented voice - while clearing a true-to-the-source path to the extraordinary backing he receives from members of the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band. The colors, textures, and tones Withers captured at the Record Plant can now be faithfully experienced for the first time outside the
