Soular Energy

Description: Soular Energy The Ray Brown Trio — Soular Energy Mastering by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, cut at 45 RPM from the original master tape! Double LP pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with redesigned artwork "Soular Energy with the Ray Brown Trio, originally issued on Concord in 1985, has long been considered both great straight ahead jazz and an audiophile treasure. ... none (of the previous reissues) come even remotely close to this double 45 RPM edition mastered by Kevin Gray at his Cohearent Mastering and pressed at QRP. ... It has never sounded better than it does on this double 45. The room is small, the miking close, the sonic excitement intense! The longevity of this record's popularity and so many others on Concord proves that while Carl E. Jefferson was a used car salesman turned record company owner, he did not sell lemons! Very highly recommended!" Music = 8/11; Sound = 10/11 - Michael Fremer, AnalogPlanet.com. "This is one of my favorite LPs of all time. ... My heart literally skipped a beat when I saw that Analogue Productions was bringing us a (180-gram), 45 RPM version of this LP. To top it off, it would be pressed at the new Quality Record Pressings plant and be mastered by Kevin Gray. One more thing, at its price of $50, it's a bargain compared to what near mint or mint original Concord pressings are going for, much less the ridiculous price of the Japan pressing. ... This reissue does everything the original does, but it does it better. First, as quiet as my copy was, this pressing just allows the music to appear in my room with no hint that it is being played off vinyl. Second, there is just something relaxing about the sound of a well-done 45 RPM pressing. It loses none of its presence, clarity or transient speed, but at the same time it is more relaxed and simply sounds more beautiful." — Jack Roberts, dagogo.com Ray Brown, Gene Harris and Gerryck King are spectacular in this 1984 recording. Red Holloway (tenor sax) and a rare appearance by the great Emily Remler (guitar) round out the original musicians. This is a completely new mastering and pressing of this famous release. Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio did exceptional mastering work for this double LP, cut at 45 RPM from the original master tape, and pressed by none other than the world's finest LP manufacturing plant, Quality Record Pressings. Gary Salstrom, then QRP's general manager and master plating technician, plated the lacquers, and lastly we redesigned the artwork for this deluxe Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket presentation. "This album is important as an early milestone in pianist Gene Harris' second career. Harris, who had led the popular Three Sounds in the 1960s, had been living in obscurity in Boise, ID, for several years before he was urged by bassist Ray Brown to come to the West Coast for some recording sessions. Harris became a permanent member of Brown's regular trio for quite a few years before launching his own quartet. He had lost none of his technique, soul, or swing in the interim, as he shows throughout this fine release. Seven of the eight numbers (highlighted by 'Exactly Like You,' 'Teach Me Tonight,' and 'Sweet Georgia Brown') feature Brown, Harris, and drummer Gerryck King playing soulful bop, while 'Mistreated But Undefeated Blues' adds guitarist Emily Remler and the tenor of Red Holloway. An excellent effort." — AllMusic Domestic Shipping is $5.00 USD by FedEx Ground Economy, $1.00 for each additional item. WORLDWIDE SHIPPING with eBay Global Shipping program.
