QUINCY JONES- I HEARD THAT!! (2LP'S)-1976-FIRST PRESS UK-AM-AMLM63705. A rare British original by an iconic musician. Quincy Jones - I Heard That! . The album gives Quincy an unusual format in '76 - on the first record, the listener gets new material, on the second, a collection of the best things during his stay on the A./M. label. The idea is, frankly, questionable - for obvious reasons, the first record can't be compared to the second, the opening straightforward dance I Heard That is no match for the opening perhaps iconic arrangement of Summer In The City from the album 73rd You've Got It Bad Girl. Nevertheless, after many years, the doppelganger listens well as just a selection of the best from Quincy. ...more

SANTANA-SHAPE SHIIFTER-2012-FIRST UK/EU PRESS-MUSIC ON VINYL- MOVLP573 is a rare European original by the legendary guitarist. Shape Shifter is the twenty—second studio album (thirty-sixth album overall) by Santana. It was released on May 14, 2012. This album is the first released by his new label Starfaith Records, which is distributed by Sony Music Entertainment, the owners of all of Santana's albums (except those recorded for Polydor Records, which are owned by Universal Music Group). This is also the first album since 1992 by Milagro, in which none of the songs have guest vocalists. This style was typical of Santana's Supernatural albums. There is only one song with vocals in the album ("Eres La Luz"). The track "Mr. Szabo" is a tribute to Hungarian guitarist Gabor Szabo, one of Carlos Santana's early idols, who released a series of 8 albums for Impulse Records between 1966 and 1967; the rhythmic and harmonic structure of the track is similar to "Gypsy Queen", Szabo's 1966 recording, covered by Santana in 1970 this year, as a medley with Fleetwood Mac's "Black Magic Woman". ...more
