Limited Edition import-only vinyl LP repressing of this debut album Dummy from Portishead, released on 22 August 1994 by Go! Beat Records. The album received critical acclaim and won the 1995 Mercury Music Prize. It is often credited with popularizing the trip hop genre and was the introduction to a whole new world of music for man and is frequently cited in lists of the best albums of the 1990s.

Prince’s iconic album, Sign O’ The Times, has been remastered for the very first time by Prince’s original mastering engineer Bernie Grundman. Primarily recorded between the end of 1985 and beginning of 1987, the era saw the dissolution of his band The Revolution, the end of his engagement to Susannah Melvoin, and the creation (and ultimate abandonment) of the albums Dream Factory, Camille, and Crystal Ball. By the end of that period of transformation, Prince emerged with one of his most urgent and wide-ranging releases to date – an epochal double album that would be hailed as a creative, critical, and commercial triumph.

In Rainbows, as a title, implies a sense of comfort and delightfulness. Radiohead is known for soundtracking. There’s a slight, if expected, twist at play. The band is more than familiar with the unpleasant moods associated with colors like red, green, and blue – all of which, of course, are colors within a rainbow – all of which are present, and even mentioned, during the album. In Rainbows will be remembered as Radiohead’s most stimulating synthesis of accessible songs and abstract sounds, rather than the world’s first pick-your-price download.

I remember my buddy Erin turning to me when I got in his car one day and saying “dude, you aren’t going to believe this” and pushed play on Pablo Honey, Radiohead’s debut album.  It’s one of THOSE records, where something started and thank god hasn’t ended to this day.  A must own debut that must be played like it was the first time you ever heard Radiohead.  -John

Double vinyl LP pressing. 2010 reissue of the classic Stones album Regarded as one of the greatest albums in Rock ‘n’ Roll history and one of the most defining of the Stones’ catalogue. Upon it’s release more than three decades ago, Exile on Main Street innovatively wove varying musical genres, instruments and even artists into a compelling rhythmic masterpiece. The original 18-track double-album was recorded in various stages at multiple locations, including Olympic Studios in London, Keith Richard’s mansion Nellcote in France, and in Los Angeles where the literal Main Street influenced the album title. These atypical circumstances surrounding the recording process greatly affected the album’s outcome which was highly reflective and influenced by the sociopolitical turbulence that marked the late ’60s and early ’70s.

How it influenced the political progress of South Africa a country divided by institutionalized racism, causing and then transcending years of controversy.
