Bruce Springsteen - The Lost Masters & The Lost Masters Essential Collection [19+4 CD, 2003]

 

In the spring of 1996, word quickly spread of a 19-CD set called "The Lost Masters" consisting of studio outtakes, home demos, and rehearsal sessions from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band from the years 1977-1983. In addition to the 19 discs, two "Best of" sets would also be released and would include bonus tracks not found elsewhere in the set.The discs were to be released individually in groups of five or so and the first five surfaced in early summer.

The CDs can basically be broken down into 5 segments: Darkness outtakes , River outtakes , home demos , rehearsal sessions and Hollywood Hills garage tapes .

Rounding out the set are the complete Nebraska sessions, Born in the USA outtakes, and "Big Expendables", which consists of studio outtakes from The River, home demos, and rehearsal sessions.

Soft Machine - Bundles (Remastered And Expanded Edition, 2022, 2 CD) [FLAC]

A remastered 2CD edition of the 1975 album Bundles by the celebrated Jazz / Progressive group Soft Machine. The album was the band’s first for EMI’s Harvest and featured a line-up of Mike Ratledge (keyboards), Karl Jenkins (oboe, piano, soprano sax), John Marshall (drums), Roy Babbington (bass) and Allan Holdsworth (guitar).

An accessible collection, Bundles showcased Holdsworth’s considerable guitar playing talents and opened a new chapter for the band. The album attracted much praise, especially the stunning five-part piece 'Hazard Profile’. Following the release of Bundles in March 1975 the band embarked on a busy touring schedule, but they soon faced the blow of Allan Holdsworth departing suddenly to join The New Tony Williams’ Lifetime.

Holdsworth was replaced by John Etheridge, and Soft Machine toured extensively for the remainder of 1975. A fabulous concert at Nottingham University on 11th October 1975 and featured much of the material featured on the album, along with early renditions of some pieces which would be recorded for the band’s 1976 album Softs.

- Allan Holdsworth / acoustic, electric & 12-string guitars

- Mike Ratledge / Fender Rhodes, Lowrey organ, AKS synthesizer

- Karl Jenkins / oboe, soprano saxophone, acoustic & electric pianos

- Roy Babbington / bass

- John Marshall / drums, percussion

With:

- Ray Warleigh / alto & bass flutes (12)

 

 

Yes - The Yes Album - 1971/2014 (Blu-ray Audio) [FLAC-HD]

The Yes Album is probably the most relaxed album and although the albums that followed this one are produced better and show much more experimentation and epic musicianship, the toned down, simplistic songs here are solid gold. This is one of the best Yes albums of , probably the first masterpiece they created which serves as a great starting point for newcomers. 

•  Jon Anderson (vocals, percussion)
• Chris Squire (bass, vocals)
• Steve Howe (acoustic and electric guitars, vocals)
• Tony Kaye (piano, Hammond organ, Moog synthesiser)
• Bill Bruford (drums, percussion)
