Oliver Nelson - Screamin’ The Blues (1960) [Analogue Productions 2018] [SACD / ]

Title: Oliver Nelson – Screamin’ The Blues (1960/2018)
Genre: Jazz
Format: SACD ISO + DSF DSD64 + Hi-Res FLAC

Oliver Nelson and Eric Dolphy shine in a dynamic sextet session, joined by Richard Williams, Richard Wyands, George Duvivier, and Roy Haynes. Nelson’s five original compositions, including “Screamin’ the Blues” and “The Meetin’,” showcase his compositional prowess. Dolphy’s unique virtuosity complements Nelson’s vision, creating a vibrant, funky modernist sound. This album, part of Analogue Productions’ audiophile Prestige Stereo reissues, highlights Rudy Van Gelder’s finest recordings. Nelson, initially celebrated as a small-group leader, proves his versatility here. The Nelson-Dolphy partnership, marked by multi-instrumental skill, generates a rich diversity of tones. Their collaboration later continued on Blues and the Abstract Truth and Straight Ahead. The sextet’s shared commitment to virtuosity and innovation drives the session’s intensity. Wyands, Duvivier, and Haynes provide a solid rhythmic foundation. Screamin’ the Blues remains a standout in Nelson’s early catalog.

Oasis - (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? (1995) [Reissue 2003] [SACD / ]

Title: Oasis – (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? (1995) [Reissue 2003] [SACD / ]
Genre: Rock
Format: MCH SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

The 2003 SACD reissue of What’s the Story) Morning Glory? is the second album by UK rock band Oasis, originally released in 1995. It was a massive commercial success, topping UK charts for 10 weeks, reaching #4 in the U.S., and selling over 18 million copies worldwide. The album is the third biggest-selling in UK history, with hit singles like “Some Might Say,” “Roll With It,” “Wonderwall,” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger.” Blending 30 years of Britpop, it evokes the British Invasion with tracks like “Wonderwall” (Beatles-esque) and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” (Mott The Hoople-inspired). The Soho cover photo features DJ Sean Rowley and producer Owen Morris. Unlike the raw Definitely Maybe, Morning Glory is introspective, with varied production including strings and keyboards. Noel Gallagher’s melodies carry emotional weight despite lyrical simplicity, often borrowing riffs but crafting transcendent pop/rock. Liam Gallagher’s vocals are more textured, ranging from regretful to defiant. Alan White strengthens the rhythm section, adding authority. Though less immediate than its predecessor, Morning Glory remains exciting and compulsively listenable.
