Laura Nyro Trees of the Ages

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Laura Nyro, Trees of the Ages: Live in Japan (Omnivore) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada / Omnivore)

Laura Nyro's Trees of the Ages: Live in Japan was first issued in that country in 2003 as An Evening with Laura Nyro but has been out-of-print ever since, save for a truncated version briefly available on the U.S. EMI Special Markets label.  It's now back in a gorgeously remastered edition from Omnivore Recordings.  The album comprises 16 tracks recorded at Kintetsu Hall in 1994 as well as five additional tracks recorded at On Air West.  At the piano and accompanied by a trio consisting of Diane Wilson, Dian Sorrell, and Diane Garisto, a seemingly contented but no less passionate Nyro ran through her classic songbook ("And When I Die," "Wedding Bell Blues," "Save the Country," "Emmie") as well as most of Walk the Dog and Light the Light, her then-recent studio album that turned out to be the final one released in her lifetime.  That wasn't all.  Nyro delivered moving covers of the songs that influenced her from Bacharach and David ("Walk on By"), Smokey Robinson ("Ooo Baby Baby"), and The 5 Royales/The Shirelles (Lowman Pauling and Ralph Bass' "Dedicated to the One I Love").  Today, she and her songs are in the pantheon with those greats.  Omnivore's reissue of this beautiful, intimate performance is housed in a digipak with all-new artwork and liner notes.  Trees of the Ages: Live in Japan restores the once-rare and altogether mesmerizing concert to its rightful place in the Nyro live canon.  Laura's 1966 audition tape is coming next from Omnivore; read more here.

Vince Guaraldi A Boy Named Charlie Brown

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

The Vince Guaraldi Trio, A Boy Named Charlie Brown (Craft Recordings) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

The latest vinyl iteration of The Vince Guaraldi Trio's classic album for kids of all ages precedes (by one day) a Record Store Day tie-in single on the July 17 RSD Drop.  This version, unlike the 50th anniversary reissue which restored the original 1964 artwork, uses the 1972 reissue cover.  The album featuring "Linus and Lucy" has been newly remastered from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, and adds eight baseball cards to the package - one for each member of Charlie Brown's Peanuts "team" (Snoopy, Woodstock, Peppermint Patty, Linus, Lucy, Franklin, Schroeder, and Charlie himself).  Each card has "stats" for the player including field position and favorite sandwich (!).  Read more here.
