JAMES BROWN Live At The Apollo (US limited edition 8-track LP pressed on 180-gram Black Vinyl. Live At The Apollo remains one of the defining live albums of the 1960s and a pivotal release in James Brown's catalogue. Recorded at Harlem's Apollo Theatre in 1962, it captured the full force of Brown's stage show at a point when few live R&B albums had managed to convey that level of energy, tension and crowd response on record. Backed by the Famous Flames, Brown drives through hit after hit with barely a pause, turning the performance into a continuous surge of call-and-response, band precision and emotional release. What gives the album its lasting reputation is not only the setlist but the sense of occasion preserved in the recording itself. The audience reaction is integral to the performance, pushing tracks such as "I'll Go Crazy", "Try Me", "Think" and "Night Train" into something far bigger than their studio versions. It is a live record that feels completely committed to the room it was made in, and that immediacy remains its strength. Recommended)

PINK FLOYD Animals 2018 Remix (Hybrid Multichannel SACD, hardback book package in slipcase. Released in 1977, Animals took Pink Floyd's songwriting in a markedly different direction, developing into a concept album focused on thesocial and political decay of mid-1970s Britain. Drawing loosely on George Orwell's Animal Farm, the album casts different classes of society as animals: pigs at the top of the social order, dogs as ruthless business figures profitingoff those beneath them, and sheep as the passive, directed masses. The narrative has aged with unsettling relevance rather than dating. This edition presents James Guthrie's 2018 remix of the album for the first time on SACD, in both stereo and 5.1 surround. Guthrie has described the original recording as "kind of Lo-Fi, but in a cool way," and set out with this mix to widen its dynamic range and build a more three-dimensional soundstage, while retaining the album's original character. The hybrid disc plays in stereo on standard CD players and in both stereo and 5.1 surround on SACD-compatible equipment. The package is presented as a hardback book with a 28-page booklet, housed in a slipcase, with hype sticker & factory sealed. Recommended)
