SORRY - SOLD OUT

Analog Spark - AS00005 - Mastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound

AAA 100% Analogue - Pressed at RTI - Limited Edition

Analog Spark's reissue gives you the (non-scented) fold over and on "authentic" paper that would impress even the sticklers at The Electric Recording Company. And this reissue is, for better or worse, sonically authentic as well, compared to my original Columbia 1A pressing, which means the superbly-recorded and mixed Columbia sound is lean on bottom and bright on top. If anything the reissue is even a bit brighter than the original (especially side one), which means if you turn it up, it can get strident. This is a Ryan K. Smith sonic signature that I think needs a bit of tucking in. Sound 9/10 Music 9/10  Michael Fremer analogplanet.com

The second album from Laura Nyro, possibly her most accessible and famous work, was released in 1968. Nyro premiered some of the songs from the album at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival.
