Albert King with Stevie Ray Vaughan In Session In Session, recorded in 1983, is the only known recording of Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan performing together. Its long-overdue commercial release (the album didn’t come out until 1999) stands as a fitting tribute to the genius of two of the greatest musicians ever to have played the blues on electric . Now, it’s available on vinyl for the first time. Anyone who’s witnessed a much anticipated only to be disappointed — with each participant deferring to the other, the end result being that neither ever got out of first gear — will welcome this pairing of two giants of blues guitar. Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan obviously shared a mutual admiration, but it simply wasn’t in either one’s makeup to: a) be intimidated or b) take a backseat to anyone. Not without kicking up a little dust. This is such a prescious set to any fan of either of these blues giants. In addition to the free-spirited jams, there are priceless episodes of conversation between each song, both men exchanging accolades and King giving the much younger Vaughan (though tragically it was Vaughan who died first) some sage advice. This simply is a must-have. LP = AAPB 7501-45 $50.00 (two 45-RPM LPs) Isaac Hayes "Theme From Shaft" (Side 1) The undisputed anthem for what would be called Blaxploitation, "Theme from Shaft" is as popular and well-known as the movie it supported. The song opens with the ever-recognizable wah-wah, funked-up guitar chords, and we're quickly treated to Isaac Hayes' soul-drenched lyrics convincing ANYONE that this guy Shaft is one "bad mother…shut your mouth." The song oozes with the cool confidence that made the character Shaft one of the relative first Black film heroes. "Theme From Shaft" earned Hayes his only Number One pop single in late 1971, winning an Oscar for Best Song, and helping him become the first Black composer to win an Oscar for Best Score. "Soulsville" (Side 1) Another one of Isaac Hayes' biggest hits, "Soulsville" provides the contrast of a down- ballad outlining the plight of life in the ghetto. It's an emotional tale of poverty, drugs, desperation and faith. "Do Your Thing" (Side 2) Pure funk. This nearly 20-minute jam demonstrates just how potent the Stax houseband, The Bar-Kays, could be. They establish a groove in which you can comfortably lose yourself. After "Theme From Shaft," this was the most popular hit from the Shaft movie soundtrack. It climbed to Number Three on the Billboard chart, a remarkable feat for such a long, mostly-instrumental song. LP = AAPP 88002-45 $20.00 The Staple Singers "Respect Yourself" (Side 1) The Staple Singers' 1972 hit that rose to Number Two on the Billboard charts and, along with "I'll Take You There," affirmed this Chicago group as stars of the soul and pop worlds. The song begins with a blues- tinged electric introduction and then builds to a crescendo full of inspiration. Pops Staples begins the lyrics with, "If you disrespect anyone that you’re running to/How in the world do you think anybody’s supposed to respect you/If you don’t give a heck about the man with a Bible in his hand/Just get out the way and let the gentleman do his thing." Pops’ daughter Mavis, an absolute vocal giant, then takes over the vocals with, "If you’re walking 'round thinking that the world owes you something ‘cause you’re here/You’re going out the world backwards like you did when you first come here/You curse around women but you don’t even know their name/Then you’re dumb enough to think it’ll make you a big ol’ man." "I'll Take You There" (Side 2) A beautiful and now instantly-recognizable call-and-response chorus that scored a smash Number One hit on the Billboard charts of 1972. The backing instrumentation is simple with almost no changes. Atop that rock-solid foundation, we're taken "there" with, "I know a place/Ain’t nobody crying/Ain’t nobody worried/Ain’t no smiling faces/Lying to the races/Help me (backing vocals: I’ll take you there)."

Technology, Inc. Deep down in rural Louisiana, Hypolite, a self-confessed poor boy, has been honing his blues since he could talk — first in Creole French and then in English (both languages are represented on this release). The results are heart- felt confessions of real-life hard times. These are deep, unpolished, gravely blues. In short, this is the real stuff — Stereophile Recorded at Blue The Absolute Record To Die For Heaven Studios Sound the blues of undiluted emotion. Recommended Louisiana Country Boy is also full of zydeco — a genre Hypolite said is not always played the way masters like Clifton Chenier intended it to be. "Zydeco is simple music," Hypolite said. "Guys who try to play jazz and put big chords in zydeco make it hard on themselves. You just need to know how SACD Super Audio Hybrid Mono Single Layer to phrase it right, and it has to have a feeling and a meaning to it." SACD SACD Feeling and meaning — those are attributes "Big Daddy" is never short of. Even in the simplest conversations, Hypolite wears his heart on his sleeve. If he doesn’t win you over with his smile, he’ll floor you with his laugh. Hypolite has bottled pure emotion by writing and singing autobiographical songs that reach all the way back to his childhood. He’s been waiting for this Single Layer Hybrid Single Layer Hybrid Stereo Stereo Multichannel Multichannel moment for so long, played it over in his head so many times, that almost SACD SACD SACD SACD every song on this recording was done in one take, with no lyric sheets.

FIVE LATEST RELEASES 50 …Friends everywhere have lost a great man. Jimmie Lee Robinson, the blues pioneer known as the Lonely Traveller, died July 6 at age 71 follow- ing his battle with cancer. Jimmie Lee, much beyond being a noted Chicago bluesman whose credits include work with Freddie King, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Jimmy Rogers, and Jimmy Reed, was a man of unmatched dedication, sincerity and philosophy. He was APO Records' chief ambassador. Mostly, Jimmie Lee was family, a true friend who gave of himself endlessly without ever expecting a return. No words can accurately describe how caring Jimmie Lee was or how missed he'll be. In addition to recording and performing as a lead, rhythm and bass guitarist with the aforementioned greats, Jimmie Lee recorded as a bandleader in the '50s and '60s for Bandera Records, introducing his vocal punch and song- writing to the public. He is also credited as in the early '50s being among the first to bring the to the blues by tuning a guitar down an octave and adding a bass line to the band's arrangement. Chicago blues bassman Bob Stroger said that Jimmie Lee was among the best bassists in blues history. "He was a top session man," Stroger recalled. "Everyone I knew wanted Jimmie Lee to play. He was a monster. He was top dog. I lost a good friend. He was a great guy, and he left a mark ." In the '90s, Jimmie Lee again stepped to the front of the stage as a solo artist, employing his vocals, acoustic guitar and trademark spurs as a percussive instrument. He recorded for several labels, includ- ing Delmark, his own Amina Records and then APO Records beginning in 1998. Jimmie Lee was also a dedicated activist commit- ted to blues preservation. His chief cause was to save the Maxwell Street Market, the area on Chicago's south side where Jimmie Lee and so many famed Chicago blues artists got their start. Maxwell Street has been razed in favor of modern construction in recent years. True to his spirit of passionate commitment, Jimmie Lee once fasted for 81 straight days to protest the destruction.

es Fraher You will be remembered, Jimmie Lee.

The reason is simple: These LPs are pressed in extremely limited quantities and include some of the finest classical, jazz and popular music of the 20th Century. Mastering at 45 RPM (as opposed to 33 1/3) allows the cutter head to inscribe even more information into wider-spaced grooves. This translates into sound that is more relaxed and airy with a silky-smoothness that comes startling close to the sound of the master tape. These records typically sellout within weeks ONCE IN A after their initial release and rarely show up on the collectors market. To find many of these sealed, out-of-print Classic Records 45RPMs would be celebration enough. Finding them on sale is truly a once-in-a-lifetime LIFETIME event!

"HARP PLAYERS ARE A DYING BREED." SO ONCE SAID A MAN WHO KNEW. LITTLEITTLE HATCH LIKELY WAS THE BEST HARP PLAYER EVER TO MAKE KANSAS CITYITY HOME HOME. He died January 14, 81 years old, and with Hatch went Blues as thick and dirty as the smoke-filled air in the bars he ruled. Little Hatch was born Provine Hatch Jr. in Sledge, Mississippi in 1921. He picked up the Blues harp for good at 8 years old. By his teenaged years, after his family had moved to Helena, Arkansas, Hatch was under the direct spell of Sonny Boy Williamson II.The Blues, and that harmonica, overcame him. The obsession turned into a profession for Hatch once he added vocals to his act. In his prime, Hatch's performances were raucous. He'd dance and stomp his feet until his audience felt a fever. Sometimes Hatch would blow solos 10 minutes long. And as he aged, Hatch's voice grew as rich as his favorite whiskey. Hatch was a Bluesman of the real variety. But it's those Bluesmen who are most often overlooked. Hatch's fame and most of his gigs were limited to Kansas City. Still, for the world that was listening, Hatch could be heard. A tiny German label, M&M Records, released The Little Hatchet Band (LP-3001) in 1972, but distribution was very limited. In 1992, the Modern Blues Label released a second live Hatch performance with Well,ll, All All Right!Right! (MBR 1204), but the album suf- fered the same small-scale fate. APO Records owner Chad Kassem couldn't believe that Little Hatch wasn't a recording star when he first saw him per- fperformorm in the in theearly early 1980s. 1980s. By the By thelate late '90s, '90s, Kassem Kassem had had established established Blue Blue Heaven Studios and the Blues label APO in Salina, Kansas. He of course remembered Hatch, and the two formed a relationship that produced Goin' Back (APO 2007) in 1998 and Rock With Me Baby (APO 2012), which was pressed just before Hatch's death. A third Hatch album remains in the APO can. Artists are never replaced. Neither are legends.That's to say nothing of harp players, a species Little Hatch once called "a dying breed."

THIS MUSIC WAS RECORDED USING ONLY VACUUM-TUBE COMPONENTS. As this is the primary reason the sound is so lush and natural, Doug Sax mastered these recordings from the original analog tapes using the Mastering Lab's proprietary all-tube electronics until the final digital conversion.

Sax used the latest third-generation Analog-to-DSD converters by Ed Meitner/EMM Labs to transfer the music to the SACD layer. The CD layer was transferred directly to the Sony PCM 1630 system through a modified George Massenburg A/D converter. We feel that this approach demonstrates the finest merits of each format.

89 SACDs What is an SACD? In short, Super Audio CD is a new format that uses DSD (Direct Stream Digital) recording technology and a 4.7 gigabyte disc to greatly improve the sound of a standard compact disc. A much higher sampling rate than on a standard CD gives the SACD a sound much more open, airy and three-dimensional.

Rock With Me Baby is the comforting Those SACDs listed as "Hybrid" include both an addition to this awesome, down-home blues SACD and standard CD layer and are therefore artist’s sparsely-documented career.

Sonny Boy became Hatch's hero, and from there, another sure-fire bluesman was born. Rock With Me Baby oozes with blues purity and recalls the gritty roots of a time before blues needed polish to shine. If Hatch's harp is technically imperfect, his voice is soulfully unmatched. Fans of the real thing will drool, and rockers may at least understand blues heritage through this release. Jimmy D. Lane and Ron Edwards accompany Hatch on guitars. The trio lays down 13 tracks of exquisite traditional blues that's a treat to both ears and soul.

Acoustic Sounds Neil Young / Harvest "Neil Young's most popular album, Harvest employs a num- TOP PICK ber of jarringly different styles. SpeakersSpeakers CornerCorner LPsLPs Much of it is country-tinged, although there is also an acoustic track, a couple of elec- VERVE tric guitar-drenched rock per- formances, and two songs on which Young is accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra. But the album does have an overall mood and an overall lyric content, and they conflict with each other: the mood is melancholic, but the songs mostly describe the long- ing for and fulfillment of new love. Young's concerns are per- haps most explicit on the contro- versial 'A Man Needs a Maid', which contrasts the fears of committing to a relationship with simply living alone and hiring help. Over and over, he sings of the need for love in such songs as 'Out on the Weekend,' 'Heart of Gold,' and 'Old Man.' The songs are unusually melodic and accessible. The rock numbers 'Are You Ready for the Country' and 'Alabama' are in Young's familiar style and unremarkable, and 'There's a World' and 'Words (Between the Lines of Age)' are ponderous and overdone. But the love songs and the harrowing portrait of a friend's descent into heroin addiction, 'The Needle and the Damage Done,' remain among Young's most affecting and memorable songs."

The culmination of a quarter of a century of turntable engineering and manufacturing by one of the most respected names in the world of audio is VPI’s new TNT-HR-X 25th anniversary Reference Turntable. Incorporating several refinements that blur the line between master tape and the LP, the new TNT-HR-X is stunning in both sound and industrial design. Built on a composite, triple-laminated acrylic and aluminum chassis, a new inverted bearing with a Teflon thrust plate was chosen for its frictionless performance and immunity to wear. A radical outer-periphery record clamp flattens the LP to the acrylic platter without the complexity and problems associated with vacuum systems. Designed for ultimate analog LP playback, the TNT HR-X incorporates an integrated dual motor drive and flywheel to allow a footprint of only 25” by 19”. And the chassis’ air suspension will reject 98% of acoustic feedback in real world conditions without additional and elaborate isolation platforms. A celebration of the art of analog, the TNT HR-X comes complete with a JMW-12.5 tonearm and SDS Synchronous Drive System.

107 bbackack toto thethe High-End designer bbasicsasics Ron Sutherland competes with the majors at a fraction of their cost.

By Marc Sheforgen

Just as over-thinking a dance step spells certain clumsiness for a wannabe smooth operator, so apply the same principles to high-end audio design, says Ron Sutherland. In each case, the beauty lies in the simplicity. Break that graceful glide of the tango, and its passion and energy are left limp. Violate the basic principles of amplifying sound, and Sutherland says an audio design becomes as good as two left feet.

By bringing the concepts of his favorite hobby, ballroom dancing, to his profession of some 30 years, audio component design, Sutherland's created products with style and pizzazz that cost nowhere near those of similar performance. Stereophile awarded his AcousTech PH-1 phono preamp the highest Class A rating in the magazine’s October 2002 issue. The other phono stages rated Class A cost an average of $7,964 more than the $1,500 AcousTech. Why?

"I don't like just throwing technology and gee whiz at a problem because it generally leads to a hodgepodge of patches. I think it's always better to back away and redefine the problem until an elegant solution is revealed," said Sutherland, who designs products for distribution through Acoustic Sounds. "We don’t blow a lot of money on the fancy frills hoping and praying for imagined performance. It’s proven so much more effective to pursue performance by applying solid engineering concepts with top-quality parts. With so much of this so-called

"With a common design pitfall by resisting the power switch, you’re eventually going to solution of using exotic and expensive forget to turn it off, and the batteries are methods like Teflon boards. Instead, going to run down faster," Sutherland said.

Sutherland Ph.D. Phono Stage

AC power lines create noise. Period. There's only one feasible way around that annoyance. Batteries. Bingo! Designer Ron Sutherland brings us a new battery-powered phono stage with smart circuitry that allows this preamp to turn on and off automatically thereby maximizing the life of your batteries. One of the noisiest components in your home stereo is the incoming AC power. And the does not draw current from the power line evenly. There is a large current spike drawn when the sine wave reaches its voltage extremes, at other times current draw is essentially zero. High frequency harmonics and noise are introduced into the same power line that's used for sensitive phono preamplification. The Ph.D. doesn't even have a power cord. Instead, 16 alkaline D cell batteries line the sides of the chassis. After about 800 hours of playing time (roughly half the life of a cartridge), a red light will indicate that your batteries are running low. Replacements cost about a buck a piece. The Ph.D. turns on the moment your stylus is stimulated. From there, the unit automatically looks for a signal every half-hour for just a fraction of a second. If it doesn't find a signal, it will stay on for an additional half-hour with a yellow light indicating that it is preparing to turn off. What's more, the Ph.D. has four different loading options and gain-stage settings that are simple to adjust. S PhD $3,000.00 PhD. – view of inside and back panel

CLASS A PERFORMANCE FOR LESS THAN YOU THINK… Introducing the AcousTech PH-1Premium Phono Stage. Building on the design of the original PH-1, Ron Sutherland has created a new Premium Edition. The PH-1P has gold-plated circuit boards with hand-matched parts that take its performance to the next level. In fact, the PH-1P has just received a coveted “Class-A” rating in Stereophile’s Recommend Components. What makes this even more special is that most of the “Class-A” competition costs several times the AcousTech’s asking price. Sam Tellig, who has owned the original PH-1 since its introduction, had this to say about the new PH-1 Premium Edition: “…the PH-1P gave me a welcome and worthwhile sonic improvement. The sound opened up. Highs became more extended. I heard more spatial resolution. I noted a small but sig- nificant gain in overall transparency, including better-defined bass…with either version of the PH-1, setting up for MM or MC is a breeze…” Ð Stereophile, August 2002

Manley Laboratories, Inc. in recent years has expanded and thrived under EveAnna Manley's leadership. Their 11,000 sq. ft. building houses a machine shop, printed circuit board manufacture, audio transformer winding, engraving, and silk-screening facilities. All custom design, R&D, assembly, testing, and quality control processes are performed with Manley ''Steelhead'' Reference Phono-Stage precision and pride at the Manley factory, located 35 miles east of To quote Scot Markwell of The Absolute Sound: "This is, and by a good margin, Los Angeles. Manley takes a purist approach to everything they build; the finest phono-amplifier I have ever heard, in my system or anyone else's." We refining, executing and expanding upon their legacy of vacuum tube couldn't agree more. The Steelhead completely redefines what is possible in the design philosophies proven through years of real-world experience. arena of vinyl playback and music reproduction in general. It is also the most flexible phono-preamp ever designed. It will work with the lowest-output Manley ''Shrimp'' Preamplifier moving coil and the most robust moving-magnet cartridges.

Manley ''Stingray'' Integrated Amplifier This sweet-sounding, EL-84 Output, ALL-TUBE integrated amplifier can be factory configured for either 25 watts Triode or 50 watts Ultra-Linear operation. The distinguished chassis design, which gives the Stingray its namesake, was designed after careful research of optimal component place- ment for the purity and symmetry of the signal path layout. The Stingray is very transparent sounding with surprising bass extension and control; in fact, it received the coveted Golden Ear Award by the Absolute Sound. Record-Out or Subwoofer Pre-Out available for $100 extra each. S STINGRAY $2,250.00 Manley ''Snapper'' Monoblock Amplifiers This brilliant design features a quartet of EL-34s per chassis in a fully-differential circuit topology. The Snapper can be driven full balanced all the way through via the XLR inputs. The unbalanced RCAs can also be used in this special topology with equally impressive results. These svelte monoblocks will impress the listener with their incredible purity and detail-retrieval while retaining the special magic that can only come from a tube design. A new output transformer, custom wound by Manley Labs, ensures continuous full-power bandwidth output of 100 watts down to 18 cycles! Catch a pair today. S SNAPPER $4,250.00 pair Manley Neo-Classic SE / PP 300B The wonderfully simple 300B directly-heated triode tube perfected by Western Electric is the stuff of leg- ends. "Single-Ended" amplifiers based on this topology have now been elevated to cult status, and many audiophiles take a religious stance when waxing emphatic about their sound. But the main drawback to these types of amplifiers is their miniscule power output. Power ratings in the single digits are not uncommon. It is essential then that a very efficient speaker be utilized with this type of design. The Manley Neo-Classic SE / PP gives the audiophile the option of switching between 18 watts of pure, single-ended triode power, or with the flip of a switch, 36 watts in push-pull. There is also a variable feedback control to perfectly match the amplifiers damping factor to your speakers. Vacuum-tube rectification improves the sound and extends tube life. S SE 300B $7,200.00 pair Manley ''Neo-Classic 250 Watt'' Monoblock Amplifiers While the Neo-Classic SE / PP may require careful speaker matching, we have yet to encounter a design that will challenge the 250s. These powerhouses can give the instant energy required for dynamic repro- duction of transient peaks, and their bass impact and weight often exceeds that of rival solid-state ampli- fiers. They also possess great delicacy and the seductive midrange that can only come from tubes. The EL- 34 output stage can be switched between triode-mode for 100 watts per channel, or for more demand- ing musical fare, tetrode mode yielding 250 watts. These amps will do justice to the world's finest ancil- lary components and speakers. S 250M $9,000.00 pair 126 www.acousticsounds.com BILLY BAGS Audio/Video Furniture
