Miles Davis is one of the most musically influential and most popular artists in the history of jazz, and his legendary Prestige recordings are amongst the all-time classics in the genre. Painstakingly reproduced on 10-inch vinyl with the original LP cover artwork and liner notes included, The Prestige 10-Inch LP Collection, Vol. 2 comprises the remaining five of the ten 10” LPs on which Miles Davis appeared as a leader for Prestige Records in the early-mid ’50s. All Recorded during 1954, the titles included in this volume are the Miles Davis All Star Sextet; Miles Davis Quintet; Miles Davis with Sonny Rollins; as well as Miles Davis All Stars, Vol. 1 and Miles Davis All Stars, Vol. 2.

This limited edition box set joins its companion piece, The Prestige 10-Inch LP Collection, Vol. 1, which was released for Record Store Day’s Black Friday event in November 2014, and comprised the first five 10” albums, from 1951-1954.

Dilla’s classic, out of print for over a decade, remastered from Dilla’s original mixes and issued on Pay Jay as a badge-shaped picture disc single for Record Store Day 2015. The Estate of James Yancey revived J.Dilla’s Pay Jay Productions as a functioning imprint and announced its release of Dilla’s long lost vocal album, The Diary. But before that full-length is issued, Pay Jay now announces the final single to be released from the project. It’s a classic in every way. This single of Dilla’s anthem was originally released as a standard 12”. That vinyl is now rare and out of print. On the Pay Jay issue coming for Record Store Day, both the vocal and instrumental are sourced directly from mix-downs that Dilla himself created. This limited edition Record Store Day release is a badge-shaped picture disc single and features Jeff Jank’s ironic take on Dilla’s message. The vinyl comes in a custom-made pocket inserted into a Japanese-style, resealeable clear plastic sleeve well suited for the collectible this release is destined to be.

Inspired by the video game soundtracks of celebrated Japanese artist Manabu Namiki, Lopatin’s arrangement “Bullet Hell Abstraction” deconstructs both the sonic and visual aesthetic of Japanese video games. Commissions II includes selections that he recorded for the performance, which was commissioned by Redbull Music Academy and originally premiered at Womb, Tokyo (November 2014). With affection for the original piece, Lopatin composed and performed live a re­imagined soundtrack to Koji Morimoto’s historic anime film Magnetic Rose. In collaboration with Lopatin, Robert Beatty produced the cover artwork layout, and the packaging features TBC (black foil print jacket) with die cut view of inner sleeve.

The follow up to the successful and out of print RPM Turntable Football, is the 2015 Record Store Day Exclusive RPM Turntable Baseball! The envelope has been pushed a little further as this record has a whopping 13 grooves spread over one 7″. The A side is the title game, players take turns getting runs, outs, home runs, and more as they play a full 9 inning game on their turntable. There’s even a separate band of grooves should you feel like you’d like to try to steal a base. The B-side is The Concession Stand Challenge. This game is both an homage to stadium mascot races and to the horse racing turntable games of the 50’s. You name the stakes and the record chooses the winner; it could be Hot Dog, Salted Nuts, Nachos, Soft Pretzel, or Falafel. Both of these games again use Decagonaphonic Multi-groove Technology. Jay Grainer and Barry Dingle return to provide color commentary on all the action and offer clear instructions when to advance your players to the next base, or add an out to your score card. Available for the first time ever on Record Store Day 2015, exclusively in a limited edition colored vinyl. Get it while you can.

It’s not unusual for hip hop artists to immortalize something by sampling it, but few did so as extensively – or as effectively – as GZA in his use of snippets from Shogun Assassin on his 1995 album Liquid Swords. Though we know them as elder statesmen now, in the mid-90s The Wu-Tang Clan were the spookiest kids on the block, sharing an obsession with shaolin monks, B-movies, and soul-chillingly dark string samples.

Released to the grindhouse film circuit in 1980, Shogun Assassin is a martial arts Easts-meets-West culture mashup. Recutting scenes from the swashbuckling Japanese series Lone Wolf And Cubfor the British and American markets, the film sold on its brutal action and frequent decapitations. Producer RZA was a big fan and let the soundtrack shape his work on his bandmate’s solo LP.

“[The album tells] the story of a shogun told through different narratives and scenarios. It’s not a theme but more like a thread throughout the album,” GZA has said. “While we were mastering the album, RZA asked the engineer to go out and get it and bring it back to us. That’s when I watched it. I loved it immediately and thought it fit with the album well.”

The film’s soundtrack blends eastern melodies chiming out of futuristic synths, electronic beats, and bouncing disco bass lines introduced by a child’s ominous voiceover. It was neither Japanese nor authentic. It was, in fact, recorded and mixed at Icon Studios, Hollywood and composed and performed by W. Michael Lewis (of LA disco pioneers Rinder & Lewis) and Mark Lindsay, a man well known as the frontman of hit 1960s beat group Paul Revere & The Raiders. The combination produces results that are typical of neither and all the more intriguing for it.

Never officially released on vinyl beyond a limited promotional pressing, this is your chance to own the highly sought after LP. It’s sure to be of interest to soundtrack buffs, Wu-Tang lovers, Tarantino aficionados (who may recall Shogun’s homage in Kill Bill Vol. 2), and fans of experimental synth music.

More Info:
The first hip-hop group signed to The Neptunes’ newly formed Star Trak label in the early 2000s was a Virginia based duo known as The Clipse. The group’s first single “Grindin’,” impacted young people with its bare-boned but infectious drum beat in the same way that Run-DMC’s “Sucker MCs” did almost two decades earlier. MCs Pusha T and Malice, combined with The Neptunes’ groundbreaking production, sent a clear message to the rap world – “we are not the same” (as rapped by Malice on his opening verse on “Cot’ Dam”). Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo were able to combine their electro-punk production with just the right group to create a street masterpiece. Following in the footsteps of such rap criminologists as Kool G Rap, Nas, Jay-Z and Mobb Deep, The Clipse offer a hustler’s viewpoint, with clever, hard-hitting lyrics that remained consistently tough throughout the album.

The album starts off pulling no punches. On the lead-off track, “Intro,” you get a very personal testament of crack and the drug game, a recurring motif. Songs like “Virginia” or “I’m Not You” (featuring Jadakiss, Styles P and Roscoe P Coldchain) have lyrics that play as a musical notes alongside The Neptunes’ tailored beats. “Young Boy” and “Comedy Central” fit perfectly alongside “When the Last Time” and “Cot Dam” as each song plays its part as chapters to the Lord Willin’ masterpiece. And the stand-out “Gangsta Lean” features a slightly lighter feel paired with Pharrell’s trademark falsetto hook. All in all, each song on Lord Willin’ – which was certified Gold – is essential to making it the classic that it has become. Fans can’t deny that it sounds as good today as it did when it first hit in 2002.

This limited edition (1,000 only) of Lord Willin’ for Record Store Day 2015 features seven “big hole” 7-inches (all on “hard” white vinyl) that feature 14 tracks: the original album sequence, plus the “Grindin’ Remix” featuring N.O.R.E., Baby, and Lil Wayne. It comes in a plastic slipcase that holds the vinyl in one deluxe package. Each 7-inch is housed in a mini Star Trak die-cut jacket – replicas of the label’s original 12-inch sleeves.

An exclusive 12” single of how the Moody EP was meant to be. It’s the early 1980’s in the Bronx and the Scroggins sisters are in the middle of their foot-stomping post-punk best. The ‘You’re No Good’ 7inch was spinning on the turntables and the clap beats and freaky bass of UFO was taking ESG out of this world but it was Moody’s beat that everyone was dancing to. Now on a three colour splatter vinyl pressing, ‘Moody’ and it’s spaced out edit are joined by ‘You’re No Good’ and ‘UFO’ for a one off pressing that will have DJs across the world clambering for a slice of ESG. 45rpm Green, Blue and yellow splatter vinyl with download code.

While other albums – Rikki Ililonga’s Zambia, WITCH’s Lazy Bones!! – are competitors, it’s hard to best this album as it covers each major quadrant of the Zamrock whole: it came from the mines; its musicians were anti-colonial freedom fighters, it envelops Zambian folk music traditions, and it rocks – hard.
