For a legacy filled with legendary performances, the Grateful Dead Live at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on August 13th 1975 stands out. The band only played 4 shows during that entire year! (Remarkable for a band that toured non-stop for decades) and at their August 13th show, they rolled multi-track tape (which allowed for the band decades later to properly mix the show). Because the Great American Music Hall holds less than 1,000 people (another unique thing about this show), it was an invitation only performance in which the band debuted their recent studio album Blues For Allah in a live setting. Although One From The Vault has been available on CD nearly continuously since 1991, the vinyl version was only available for less than a year (and in Europe only) in the early 1990's. This deluxe vinyl reissue marks the first time this legendary show has been available anywhere in over 20 years and the first time in America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Future Days","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP | x3.","offer_id":50402486419787,"sku":"369535","price":84.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/3ebfa079-4274-4f47-aa95-07a3bc038703_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726546937"},{"product_id":"misty-flats","title":"Misty Flats","description":"\u003cp\u003eBarry Thomas Goldberg was 23 in 1974, the year his Minneapolis power pop group, The Batch, split up. Rudderless, he set about recording solo album 'Misty Flats', and though few would hear it in its day, he hit on something very special indeed. \"In 1974, the world was weary, the Vietnam War was ending, America was at this place where it didn't know where it was heading, it was the fumes of Watergate days,\" says Goldberg now. \"I'd just left my band, and I didn't know where I was heading either. And that's what Misty Flats represents: neither high road nor low, but somewhere in between.\" Where The Batch were a harmony-drenched power pop band in the mold of Big Star and The Rubinoos, 'Misty Flats' was an album of ecstatic desolation, an unhinged loner-folk gem that came from a unique place: \"I wanted to make the first punk rock album, and if I'd recorded those songs with a band, maybe that's what it would've been,\" Goldberg says. The album was, instead, recorded in mono in a two-day recording binge on a two-track Ampex tape machine. It features just Goldberg and his friend Michael Yonkers, author of the cult 1968 LP Microminiature Love, playing guitar, bass, harmonica, and vocals between them. In it, we hear echoes of Goldberg's childhood in Las Vegas, where trips to the movies were surrogate babysitters for his single mother. 'Hollywood' and 'Stars In The Sand' dream of LA life, where 'Pop And Ice' has a narrative straight from hard-edged '70s cinema about a drummer who's drafted into the army. 'Never Came To Stay' details his return to Minneapolis, where he remains to this day, working as an administrator for the Minnesota Twins baseball team. Back in '74, Yonkers had crushed several vertebrae at work and used his payoff to fund five albums: four of his own and Goldberg's 'Misty Flats', which was pressed in a run of just 500. \"We were into art, not commerce,\" notes Goldberg now, but at the time he was frustrated his album was allowed to drift off into obscurity. Goldberg forged ahead to record a 24-track rock album called Winter Summer which languishes in the vault to this day; 'Misty Flats', however, is finally widely available in this deluxe LP and CD.CD - First time on CDLP - 180 Gram Vinyl with tip on Sleeve and Download.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Future Days","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50417238540619,"sku":"390724","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/711a2f5b-7857-4a65-848b-40d1b0beff21_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726723061"},{"product_id":"northland-my-land","title":"Northland, My Land","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Northland, My Land' is the full-length vinyl debut from Cree singer-songwriter, actor, and force of nature, Morley Loon (1948-1986). Born in Mistissini, Quebec, Loon became active in music at an early age. Drawing from his Cree culture, language, and environment, Loon developed an organic style that inspired many Indigenous musicians. News of his talent even reached producers at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in the late 1970s. Two 7\" EPs of original Cree language compositions were laid down first and later compiled into the 'Northland, My Land' album, which was released to the public in 1981. Accompanied by percussion and flute, Loon taps into a spiritual place with this material, achieving a transcendent quality rarely heard in music. 'N'Doheeno,' which translates to 'The Hunter' reflects the hunting and gathering traditions of Loon's people and region. If you close your eyes and absorb the music's pulse (even without knowledge of Cree), it's easy to visualize the subject of this mesmerizing song. In this quote from the original Northland, My Land liner notes, we learn more:\n\nThe call of the loon - haunting, evocative, across northern lakes and rivers, has been chosen as a signature effect by Morley Loon in his first recorded appearance. Morley and his people are close to the land and to the wildlife as part of the dominant theme of nature itself. The people have great respect for the wild creatures which they hunt, but on which they also depend. This closeness to the natural world is reflected in sentiments expressed in Cree about the traditional pursuits of the Indian.\n\nThough a strict traditionalist who wore his hair and clothes in accordant fashion, Loon was also a seasoned road warrior, performing across Canada, the United States, and Europe. He approached things with a special joy, celebrating and promoting his Cree culture to all. Loon was active as a musician until his untimely cancer-related death in 1986. Future Days are honoured to help share Morley's music with the world. LP - Expanded gatefold edition featuring Cree language lyrics and translation and unseen photos.

Each, strictly speaking, was eponymously titled and each was collected from a series of contemporary four-track, seven-inch, picture-sleeve EPs - pop music's main format in France, known as le super 45. In them, we see the maturing of one of the decade's most singular talents - a pop singer with the heart of a chanteuse, a singer-songwriter in an age before such a thing was known, and a style icon who valued privacy and modesty. Remastered from the original tapes, Future Days \/ Light in the Attic present the first five Françoise Hardy albums in their original French format, on deluxe LP and CD. Following the French success of 1962's 'Tous Les Garçons Et Les Filles' and 1963's 'Le Premier Bonheur Du Jour', 1964 was the year Hardy went truly international. Having competed in the Eurovision Song Contest and acted in a Roger Vadim film, this was the year Dylan dedicated a poem to her on the sleeve of 'Another Side' and the year she ventured to Britain to record English language songs for the first time. Hardy's first three French EPs of the year, from which just 'Pourtant Tu M'aimes' appears on 'Mon Amie La Rose', were largely recorded on home soil with Paris-based arranger Mickey Baker. After the third, Françoise changed tack, abandoned French studios and arrangers, and headed to London's Pye Studios. She would not record again in France until 1968, instead employing a series of British producers and musicians that even included then-studio guitarist Jimmy Page. \"It was very difficult for me to convince my record company to go to London for the production because my artistic director was having lots of success with very bad arrangements,\" she says dryly. \"Since they were having success with bad arrangements, they could continue like that.\" Hardy got her way and, working with arranger Charles Blackwell, a former protege of Joe Meek, set about creating a new interpretation of her glacial, existentially yearning music: part pop, part chanson, part soul music. On one hand, she was marrying yearning melodies with lyrics examining feelings of otherness. On the other, she was interpreting the music coming from Britain and America - both that of Phil Spector and country, too. Blackwell was the first arranger with whom Hardy was happy, and 'Mon Amie La Rose' was the first album she thought of as more than an afterthought. \"She chose her own songs and was very in control,\" says Blackwell. \"She was very much a perfectionist.\" As Hardy's sound was changing, so was her life; the British were enchanted by her Parisian style and sophistication and didn't see her as the shy, sad soul that those at home painted her as. A new era was beginning, and Hardy's music was traveling further than ever.LP - Housed in a deluxe Stoughton jacket - 180-gram vinyl.

Remastered from the original tapes, Future Days \/ Light in the Attic present the first five Françoise Hardy albums in their original French format, on deluxe LP and CD. By 1965, Françoise Hardy was truly international. She'd hung out with The Beatles and The Stones, played high-profile shows in London, established a working relationship with British producer Charles Blackwell, and appeared in the film What's New Pussycat? She was also a fashion icon seen in the pages of Marie Claire and Vogue and on the cover of Elle, and her first US album was issued that year. In France, Hardy was to release album number four, the second album to be recorded in London, where her celebrity was rapidly growing-at odds with her natural shyness. \"In London, it was the first time I'd been made to think I had a certain charm or charisma,\" she says now. \"Thanks to the time in England, I became aware I could be seductive.\" 'L'Amitie', with its evocative, close-up album cover and late-night sound, is the result. Produced by Jacques Wolfsohn alongside arranger Charles Blackwell, the sessions were notable for some distracting visitors. \"Mick Jagger was there a few times with various entourages of his at Pye (Studios),\" recalls Blackwell. \"There was a long seat in front of the mixing desk where they used to sit.\" Hardy was, however, not the epitome of the swinging '60s idyll; she was an intellectual, into yoga and Buddhism and astrology, and she still noted French chanson singers George Brassens and Jacques Brel as favorites alongside Elvis, Dionne Warwick, and The Rolling Stones. Despite her new links to the world of fashion, the tentative steps into film, the growing international awareness, and the attention she brought sheerly through her presence, music remained Françoise's focus, and her fourth album more than demonstrated this. A mix of Hardy's own songs, Blackwell's songs, and tracks from writers including Jean-Max Riviere and Gerard Bourgeois (who wrote the title track), the sound focused on stirring, heavy pop, not least in the yearning 'L'Amitie'.\" \"I'm still very proud of 'L'Amitié,'\" says Francoise, who's wont to undervalue her own work. \"The French lyrics are so very moving.\"LP - Housed in a deluxe Stoughton jacket - 180-gram vinyl.

Out of print since 1971, it has only been reissued once on CD. In his liner notes accompanying this release, Dave Segal puts the album’s massive demand in perspective: “British label owner Jonny Trunk put up an original pressing of the LP for sale for an undisclosed but large sum on Instagram in January 2023, and it sold in five minutes. With \u003ci\u003eSeasons\u003c\/i\u003e back in circulation, maybe Pete Jolly will finally gain the broader audience that his phenomenal skills merit,” writes Segal. “If nothing else, it serves as a valuable lesson to artists: venturing outside of your comfort zone can bring the most  interesting, enduring results.” Remastered from the original analogue master tapes by Kevin Gray at Coherent Mastering, this record not only foreshadows the roots of hip-hop but manages to embody the richness of a full album listening experience that few records can offer. Its timeless appeal is rare—and its dynamic range sets it apart as an album that straddles both the jazz and pop worlds in a way that almost no others can.
