2023

Before his death in January, legendary guitarist Jeff Beck revisited concert recordings made by Beck, Bogert & Appice, the power trio he formed in 1972 with drummer/singer Carmine Appice and bassist/singer Tim Bogert. The live music captures the band at the beginning and end of its short-but-influential partnership, with two shows in Japan in 1973 and one of the group's final performances in London a year later.<br/><br/>All three band members were involved in creating LIVE IN JAPAN 1973, LIVE IN LONDON 1974, and the collection is dedicated to Beck and Bogert, who died in 2023 and 2021, respectively. The set includes an expansive booklet with extended liner notes detailing the group's history by music journalist/manager Bruce Pilato, along with memorabilia, archival photos, and a replica poster.<br/><br/>Beck and Appice mixed all the concerts in this set from the original multi-tracks that had been in Beck's archive for almost 50 years, thus knocking the many bootleg quality releases, that Beck hated, out of the park! The two performances at Koseinenkin Hall in Osaka, Japan (recorded May 18 and 19, 1973) were released exclusively in Japan a few months after the shows, but never in the U.S. The complete concert at the Rainbow Theatre in London, England (recorded January 26, 1974) has never been released anywhere. <br/><br/>In the booklet, Pilato explores the short existence and lasting legacy of Beck, Bogert & Appice, a supergroup that critics once hailed as "the first successor to Cream" (Melody Maker) and an "ensemble of virtually unparalleled magnificence" (NME). <br/><br/>LIVE IN JAPAN 1973 was recorded only a few weeks after Beck, Bogert & Appice's self-titled debut came out. The music ripples with raw energy as the group delivers exhilarating live versions of nearly every song on the album, including "Superstition," "Lady," and "Livin' Alone." The trio also played songs by the Yardbirds ("Jeff's Boogie") and the Jeff Beck Group ("Morning Dew" and "Going Down.")

För första gången sedan 2005 bjuds vi på nyskrivet Stones-material! Det känns som om man inte nog kan prisa Stones betydelse inom rocken, de låtar de skrivit och deras fortfarande så energiska konserter. <br/><br/>Mick Jagger är och förblir den ultimate frontmannen; det finns ingen som äger en scen som Sir Mick. Ronnie Wood med sitt sneda leende och perfekta kompande. Och så den största av dom alla... Keefan! Det finns liksom ingen coolare än Keith Richards, alla kategorier. Den avlidne <br/>Charlie Watts finns också med på ett hörn, han spelar på två av spåren på detta album.

Albumet "True" blev en fantastisk framgång för svenske Avicii som med det nådde Billboard-listans första plats. Man kan inte nog framhålla hur mycket detta album betytt för en hel generation eller hur mycket det påverkat den moderna dansmusiken som kom efter. Albumet inkluderar mega-hittar som "Wake Me Up" och "Hey Brother". 2LP-remixalbumet "True: Avicii by Avicii" släpps nu för allra första gången på vinyl.

På detta album har U2 valt att tolka sina mest kända och älskade låtar. De har spelats in på nytt och i vissa fall uppträder de i nya arrangemang och med alternativa texter.<br/>The Edge har varit drivande här och har kurerat samlingen tillsammans med producenten Bob Ezrin. Här inkluderas klassiska låtar som "With Or Without You", "One", "Sunday Bloody Sunday" och "Where The Streets Have No Name".
