The Guess Who
Wheatfield Soul
Wheatfield Soul was The Guess Who's U.S. debut album and
launched the Canadian group to international stardom with
the classic Top 10 hit "These Eyes." The classic lineup of
The Guess Who (with Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman)
display their eclectic mix of influences on Wheatfield Soul,
numbering pop, garage rock, Doors style psychedelia, jazz,
and folk. Iconoclassic Records' 40th Anniversary Edition of
Wheatfield Soul has been digitally remastered from the
original master tapes and features extensive liner notes and
song commentary with new interviews from all of the band
members. Additionally, three rare and sought after single
sides (two making their worldwide CD debut) have been added
as bonus tracks, making this the definitive edition of a
landmark album. [more

Laura Nyro
Mother's Spiritual
Laura Nyro's ninth album Mother's Spiritual was the second
of her two "maternal" albums (1978's Nested being the
first). Mother's Spiritual broke a long silence upon its
release in 1984, being Nyro's first new release in over five
years, and was itself followed by a nearly decade-long
absence from the studio. In contrast to the wild,
adventurous music with which Nyro first made her reputation
(Eli and the Thirteenth Confession, New York Tendaberry),
Mother's Spiritual exhibits a calm, serene, piano-centered
sound. At the same time, Nyro introduces political,
motherhood (both of a child and of the earth), feminist, and
environmentalist themes into her writing. Thematically ahead
of its time upon its initial release, Mother's Spiritual was
incredibly prescient with lyrics that are relevant to
today's world. Cherished by longtime fans, Mother's
Spiritual has never before been widely available on CD. [more

Jefferson Airplane
Thirty Seconds Over Winterland
Thirty Seconds Over Winterland, originally released in 1973,
was the final original album release from rock icons
Jefferson Airplane. Captured live in concert, the album
finds the early '70s edition of the Airplane (with Grace
Slick, Paul Kantner, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady joined
by Papa John Creach, David Freiberg and Johnny Barbata) at
their hardest rocking, on a set that focuses on their latest
material while acknowledging the Hot Tuna splinter group and
glancing backward to their groundbreaking '60s work.
Although their contemporary studio albums were somewhat
disjointed, Jefferson Airplane were still a unified force
onstage and many fans regard this period as the Airplane's
live peak. Iconoclassic Records' deluxe reissue of Thirty
Seconds Over Winterland remasters the original 7-song album,
and then adds 5 additional tracks from their final
Winterland appearances, newly mastered by Grammy
Award-winning engineer Vic Anesini from the original master
tapes. Coming July 2009. [more
