THIS 1ST 4 LP'S ARE SO LONG OUT OF PRINT THAT NONE OF THEM EVER HAVE BARCODES ON THE JACKETS.

THE NEW SCENE - THE 1985  FANTASY RECORDS LONG OUT OF PRINT ISSUE with this out of print edition unique marketing sticker with information about the artist and personnel involved in this masterpiece. Only available on this limited edition STICKER pressing SERIES FOR COLLECTORS.

This could well be my favorite jazz recording of all time. It's not innovative in any way, but the band's chemistry is really something - with Curtis on the tenor sax, Nat Adderley on the trumpet, Wynton Kelly on the keys, Paul Chambers on the base, and Ollie Jackson on the drums. Curtis really anchors this album, playing bluesy, R&B riffs over a hard-bop setting. Highly recommended

INSTANT GROOVE MANUFACTURED BY RHINO RECORDS FOR ATLANTIC RECORDS -  King Curtis was an R&B saxophonist who had numerous charting albums in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He was tragically stabbed to death in 1971 at the early age of 37. One of his albums featured another great musician who died young, Duane Allman. That album is Instant Groove, which reached # 160 on the Billboard album charts in 1969

King Curtis will be forever known as one of the leading voices of the '60s soul renaissance and truly one of the more championed musicians during his short lifetime. Thanks to today?s respect and care given to his music by a whole new generation of musicians and fans, King Curtis forever reigns as one of soul?s pioneers. Much like Ray Charles, Otis Redding, and other superstars before him, Curtis Owsley (King Curtis) had the necessary ingredients of stellar musicianship and songwriting acumen which successfully reached across all gospel, soul, rock and pop genres.

King Curtis created some of his greatest sides ever for ATCO Records, where he spent his time on earth creating some of the most masterful and funkiest soul music ever waxed. In 1968, he was honored with his first greatest hits collection simply titled ?The Best of King Curtis.? This stunning array of his most memorable hit singles and stellar album staples continues to illustrate how important a force he was then and still is today, over four decades since!

The Best of King Curtis features a heavy menu of his finest moments like the funk infused Harper Valley P.T.A. and Stevie Wonder’s I Was Made To Love Her?, the definitive balladry of Ben E. King’s Spanish Harlem, and of course his chart toppers ?Ode To Billie Joe, Soul Serenade and a definitive tribute to his friend Otis Redding with (Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay which truly opened up a worldwide audience to this sorely missed genius.

Friday Music is very proud to announce for the first time ever the stunning 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl release of The Best Of King Curtis.

 KING CURTIS  180 GRAM Audiophile Vinyl LP LIVE AT THE FILLMORE WEST

 Live At Fillmore West is the ultimate King Curtis live album, a brilliant confirmation of the saxophonist's place in popular music. This is the stuff of soul legends that belongs in any record collection.

The album showcases three concerts he played with his band The Kingpins at the Fillmore West venue in San Francisco in March 1971. Those nights, the group supported soul singer Aretha Franklin, as were they her backing band. Famed for their outstanding rhythmic interplay, the group of seasoned session men featured a.o. Cornell Dupree on guitar, Billy Preston on electric organ and Bernard 'Pretty' Purdie on drums, supported by the inimitable Memphis Horns.

Curtis rips through some of the biggest hits of the day including Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)" and Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love", transforming them into showcases for the group's soulful playing. Beautiful renditions of "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" and "I Stand Accused" are highlights, and full-throttle rockers like "Changes" and "Memphis Soul Stew" comprise the heart of the album.

Tragically only a week after its release, Curtis was stabbed to death outside his brownstone apartment in New York following an argument with two junkies. The day after he died the album peaked at No. 54 on the Billboard 200 album chart, his greatest success as a solo artist.
