The Knack
Get The Knack
One of the greatest and most successful debut albums in the
history of rock & roll, Get The Knack emerged from a late
seventies landscape that was littered with disco and
overblown rock. Punk and new wave were taking hold when this
completely infectious, melodic and punchy music came
screaming out of the L.A. club scene and created one of the
music industry’s most famous bidding wars. Get The Knack
features some of the greatest power pop music ever made and
includes the massive worldwide number one hit "My Sharona"
and its follow-up single "Good Girls Don't." [more

The Guess Who
Flavours
The Guess Who's penultimate album, 1975's Flavours
introduced former James Gang guitarist Domenic Troiano to
the band's lineup. Troiano and bandleader Burton Cummings
formed a fruitful writing partnership, pushing The Guess Who
forward in a slightly more progressive direction, while
simultaneously harkening back to the eclectic quartet sound
of the Randy Bachman era. Flavours yielded the band's final
Top 40 hit, "Dancin' Fool," yet the album has remained
curiously underrated in the Guess Who canon. Iconoclassic's
definitive edition, featuring a new Vic Anesini mastering, 4
previously unreleased studio outtakes, and detailed liner
notes by Ralph Chapman, provides the perfect opportunity to
reassess this lost gem.

Robin Trower
Robin Trower Live!
Robin Trower's first live album found the band playing at
peak form during their first wave of popularity. Following
the success of studio masterpiece Bridge of Sighs, the band
was touring in support of Bridge’s follow-up For Earth Below
when they decided that a live album should be the next move.
The final track list culled titles from the band’s first
three albums and features a smoldering extended version of
"Daydream" and the ever popular "Too Rolling Stoned". Both
songs remain in Trower's set lists to this day. The live
album continued the group's rise and garnered a fair amount
of FM airplay upon release. This brand new 2011 remaster
brings to life the fire and the fury that was Robin Tower,
James Dewar, and Bill Lordan redefining what a power trio
should sound like in the middle of the seventies. The
release also includes a brand new essay that features the
recollections of Robin Trower himself. [more

Mick Taylor
Mick Taylor
After a period of personal and professional reassessment
Mick Taylor emerged from the shadows of his classic stint in
the Rolling Stones with his first solo album. Mix Stonesy
rock and blues with Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow and the
resulting stew will sound something like Mick Taylor’s
eponymous debut. After a long absence this much overlooked
release returns to compact disc with a fresh mastering from
Grammy®
award winning engineer, Vic Anesini and new liner notes by
Kris Needs. Release includes a very rare, promo-only single
version of "Leather Jacket" with different guitar parts as a
bonus track. [more

Grand Funk Railroad
Mark, Don & Mel 1960-71
Following the enormous success of the first six Grand Funk
Railroad albums Capitol Records decided that it was time for
a summary of the first stage of the band’s career and a
two-LP best of was assembled. The next studio album,
Phoenix, would feature keyboardist Craig Frost, who would
eventually become the fourth member of the band so Mark, Don
& Mel 1969-1971 is comprised of the power trio era hits.
This release marks the first worldwide legitimate appearance
on compact disc and features a new mastering done especially
for this release by Grammy®
Award winning engineer, Vic Anesini. [more
