If you like The Ink Spots or The Mills Brothers you will not be able to resist the harmonies that this collection of 57 original tracks has to offer! Rocking recordings such as, 'Boogie Woogie on a Saturday Night' are abundant throughout this set and later recordings feature the lead vocals of R&B diva Damita Jo before she went on to her solo career. Steve Gibson & The Red Caps were a top R&B group for decades and this wonderful 2CD set is a great introduction for the uninitiated and must have for fans alike.

XTC - Skylarking '86 (Corrected Polarity Edition 2014) @320
http://www6.zippyshare.com/v/31660795/file.html
Digitally remastered, expanded and corrected edition of the British band's 1986 album. Some 28 years after its initial recording and release, Skylarking finally appears on CD as it was originally intended to sound. Andy Partridge - never entirely happy with the overall sound of the finished album - took it to award-winning mastering engineer John Dent, who noticed something that had never previously been spotted. Somewhere, possibly in the transfer from the multi-channel tape to the stereo master, a polarity had been reversed. This is not the same thing as a reversed left/right channel which puts a stereo picture out of phase and makes the sound unlistenable, but a much more difficult to pin down event that can be triggered by something as simple as a badly wired plug in the overall system which, nonetheless, removes some of the punch and presence from a finished recording. The album's cover and tracklisting have reverted to the band's original vision, making this the ultimate edition of one of the band's most popular albums.

BREWER & SHIPLEY - Down In L.A. 1968 @320
http://www47.zippyshare.com/v/98037332/file.html
Digitally remastered edition of this essential Psych Pop classic. A few years before they took that one toke over the line, Brewer & Shipley were hard working staff songwriters for A&M Records publishing subsidiary, Good Sam Music. The duo soon secured a recording contract with A&M, and their debut LP, Down In L.A., was issued in October 1968. Sounding like a hybrid of the Psychedelic Country Rock of Sweetheart Of The Rodeo-era Byrds, and the studio experimentation of Curt Boettcher s Millennium/Sagittarius projects, Coproduced by Jerry Riopelle (Phil Spector, The Parade, Beau Brummels), Down In L.A. showcases the talents of many Wrecking Crew members, including Leon Russell, Hal Blaine, Jim Messina, and Jim Gordon. The 16-page, full-color booklet includes rare, unpublished photos and extensive liner notes featuring the participation of Michael Brewer and Tom Shipley, and original co-producer Jerry Riopelle. Now Sounds.

Sturgill Simpson - Metamodern Sounds in Country Music (2014)@320
http://www6.zippyshare.com/v/51844782/file.html
Following his acclaimed 2013 debut, Sturgill Simpson has announced the release of his sophomore record, Metamodern Sounds in Country Music. Raised in Kentucky, Simpson’s authentic Americana sound has earned him comparisons to some of country music’s early stars. Simpson’s tracks are reminiscent of 1970’s country music, and with tracks full of emotion—both sad and fierce—Sturgill creates nostalgia for country music of days gone by. (Paste)
"It is the best country record of the year, hands down. That is, if you can even call it country. Frankly, I don’t know what it is, except for brilliant…" "Sturgill Simpson's new masterpiece."
— Joe Keohane, Esquire

STURGILL SIMPSON - High Top Mountain ’13 @320
http://www19.zippyshare.com/v/36322960/file.html
Nashville sounds like Nashville again on High Top Mountain, the debut release from singer-songwriter Sturgill Simpson. From furious honky-tonk and pre-outlaw country-rocking to spellbinding bluegrass pickin' and emotional balladry, the album serves as a one-stop guide to everything that made real country music such a force to be reckoned with.
Pure and uncompromising, devoid of gloss and fakery, High Top Mountain's dozen instant classics evoke the sound of timeless country in its many guises and brings back the lyrical forthrightness and depth that permeated the music Simpson absorbed during his Kentucky childhood. (Hard Country)
As soon as High Top Mountain begins to unspool, it's hard to shake the feeling that Sturgill Simpson's 2013 debut isn't some kind of tribute to Waylon Jennings. When the tempo slows down and the arrangements are stripped to an acoustic guitar, he can at times recall Jamey Johnson, but that troubadour himself owes a significant debt to Waylon, so having the slow tunes conjure Johnson isn't a dramatic shift in tone, but it does give High Top Mountain a bit of depth, suggesting Simpson knows he does not reside in 1978. He'll admit as much in the lyrics -- he'll grudgingly accept the internet and other inconveniences of modern life -- but the sound belongs to the late-'70s and Simpson is particularly fond of the hard, lean, rolling sound of Waylon's outlaw period, molding his band and songs after the records that came after Honky Tonk Heroes. If Simpson doesn't have the gravity of Jennings in his voice, he compensates with attitude, taking his sweet time to re-capture the long, languid strut of Waylon. Simpson's ace in the hole is how he can craft a song -- he can conjure the spirit of Jennings, never sounding as overwhelming as Waylon, but he can capture the muscular inevitability that pulsated through the peak of outlaw country. High Top Mountain doesn't succumb to the weaknesses of prime outlaw -- the tunes aren't tired, they're fresh, often deriving from Simpson's pen -- and his evident passion means High Top Mountain feels fresh even if it so clearly means to conjure the ghosts of the '70s in every one of its songs and every one of its performances.

Reversing the polarity - that sounds like a Dr. Who-type phenomenon!
I've very excited to hear what's doing on this - one of my favorite albums ever!
Thanks
I try very hard not to openly display my ignorance but after some excruciating years I believe its time to come out of the closet.
What, pray tell, is the folder _MACOSX and the file .DS_Store that are often included in downloads such as this one: "Sturgill Simpson - Metamodern Sounds in Country Music (2014)@320" contained here?
I'll wait long enough for you to stop laughing and telephoning all your friends then await your answer.
Reverse the polarity; just don't cross the streams.

@ Johnny Diego - MACOSX is Mac Operating System X, and .DS_Store is Desktop Services Store. It's a hidden file with a proprietary format created by OS X to store custom attributes of a folder that, at least in the Windows world, don't seem to matter. Deleting either of these has not affected my MP3s or any other format.
I only see this in .ZIP downloads.
I think _MACOSX and the file .DS_Store exist because the files came from an Apple computer, rather than a PC.
Thank for STEVE GIBSON & THE RED CAPS "Boogie Woogie Ball"
Thanks, O.B. Dan. Now I'll sleep better at night knowing this.
And remember: Happiness is within your reach when you live in Ocean Beach.
Thanks so much for the Sturgill Simpson. New to me and soon to be appreciated.
