The Best Archival Reissues of 2022

[@anderssode-pedersen5817]

Great video, but didn’t you forget David Sylvian: “Blemish" and “Manafon”? And while I’m at it, this years reissue of David Sylvians: “Sleepwalkers” is a wonderful compilation as well. By the way you should check out the two resent reissues of his brother Steve Jansen: “Slope” and “Tender Extinction”. Great albums, and David Sylvian is singing on two tracks on “Slope”.

[@mazzysmusic]

Yeah Blemish was especially special so I should have included it

[@thumbdumbtom]

Finally had a chance to watch your post here Mazzy. Thank you so much for including JC in your year end round up.

Welcome back to sunny Seattle!---Happy 2023!-JG

[@BigCraig]

Another great video. I have a couple of the albums mentioned, and agree with your comments on those. (Dillard & Clark, Coltrane) In these days of tight money I can't afford everything, so hearing from a reliable source steering us to the best choices is a big help. Thanks!

[@patmeadows4759]

Mazzy. Great overview. The David Crosby 1971 LP - MoFi stated it was their last 'full analogue' production. Also - great story. The recording engineer at the time recorded the sessions at 30 ips - double the standard 15 ips. of note: Wally Heider’s Studio in San Francisco: The recording engineer Stephen Barncard along with assistant Ellen Burke incorporated innovative mic techniques that Barncard had been developing for months. Then ran tape at 30 ips instead on 15 ips.(inches per second) which was considered absurdly extravagant, but by doing so the retained a wider range of frequencies and detail overall.

A great Lp, my OG has an enchanting sound, was always happy with it. I really don't hear the psychedelia in it as you state Mazzy, despite the fact they were all wrecked while doing it. I hear more of a progressive approach to his songwriting, lots of classical and other European influences in there, even jazz. Doesn't sound like jazz, but you can tell he was listening to jazz at the time.

[@asufluffhead]

Both the Mofi SACD and 45rpm LP sound amazing, but the OG Atlantic is excellent and the Classic Records is one of the best sounding records I have ever heard. Amazing/enchanting album to say the least.

Happy hollandaise and a hearty Hare Krishna !

[@rocky-o]

great reissues...that karen dalton intrigued me so much when you last talked about it...i looked online for some of her albums and hopefully, if some of the prices go down, i'll pick up a couple...it sounds like i would like her.....glad you are home sweet home...lean back..drink some espresso...listen to some nick drake...close your eyes and enjoy your christmas day...peace always my friend...rocky

[@stevebrougham3930]

Ace video, thanks The Colin Blunstone is going on my want list

[@jodygoeler586]

Great list! Thank you for all your inspired recommendations over the year. My album collection and my tastes have broadened as a result. Much appreciated! Happy holidays.

[@kjbiz]

Good job yet again happy NY

[@ralphbolton4865]

Glad you made it back safely with the weather issues!

[@tinostabile3256]

Hi Mazzy you had me at reissues. Have to cut down unfortunately. Dont know what Santa has planned for me but I promise I have been good. I got the Elton John Madman box, Kinks muswell/everybody's in showbiz and the Beach Boys Sail on Sailor box set this year. For me that is very good... and very selective. Wishing you all that is beautiful in this season. More music but mostly Health and happiness

[@gratefultom4210]

Hi Mazzy. I wish you a Merry Christmas. Thank you for all your Beautiful Videos you did over the years. I very appreciate what you are doin‘. Greetings from Munich Germany your friend Thomas gratefultom

[@TommysVinylnaut]

Nicely presented quality records. Blue train is on my want list now.

[@bertbrys4851]

What a beautiful overview, a lot of new music to discover. Perhaps you could do a video one day on where you buy music online? Thanks a lot for sharing your music. Love it. The online community loves you too!

[@bryangibson8479]

Thanks for mentioning Colin Blunstone -- I totally missed that release. Been looking for a clean copy; sounds like this reissue might be the ticket. Best wishes for the new year.

[@michaelbrodybroshears5721]

Really loved all those jazz releases you showed early on. I’ve got to grab that Alice Coltrane, for sure. Toast is great, but I can’t get away from those live Neil Young releases. So good. His archival output is second to none.

[@walrusgumboot7243]

2022 has been the year of Neil Young, Toast is a very good album! I need to check out that Karen Dalton album, Cheech Marin use to live with her and Lacy J. Dalton for awhile in Los Angeles near the Whiskey A Go-Go, right around the time she was working on that album.

[@chrisnicol1644]

Mas... I love the shirt... today I'm wearing my John Coltrane Blue Trane shirt, just as you showed the album...

[@alangodby6147]

Great video Mazzy. I share your enthusiasm for Gene Clark. IR also reissued Clark’s White Light which is equally fantastic. Their Flying Burrito Bros reissues are also must haves.

[@vinylrecordplayer]

Deep dove on the Zombies in 2001. Ended up finishing the scandalous affair with the Blunstone work from 1970. Burned myself out on all of them, but I love that they've put that album out there again. Great voice, solid production.

[@drewdeal2824]

Merry Christmas to all Personally my choice would have to be Iggy Pop’s Apres - a really cool oddity from him. Peace and love for 2023

[@Big-J-8579]

Fun stuff. That Art Pepper is great! My hope for 2023 is that we can all stop using terms like "all analog" and just say this is an amazing-sounding release.

[@christopherrigby2798]

What's Going On was well worth the hassle of trying to get the Kevin Gray cut over here even though the KG version was pressed at GZ in the Czech Republic just that UMG were trying to palm us off with a cut from digital file version rather than the recorded whose European jacket original had Kevin's name on it.Kevin nailed it with his cut. Marvin didn't get wrapped up in slogans but webt straight for the questions, the moral and spiritual questions that matter and we need to ask them and they're still relevant. Blemish was a favourite of mine this last year and was pleased with the extended re-issue of Japan's Exorcising Ghosts too While I didn't get the record of Blue Train, I did get the double cd which was very nicely presented for a cd and sounded great through my SMSL dac so whatever format people got that on it was worth the wait. Sending you and your family seasonal wishes and we'll see you after Christmas where Mr Claus has some 14x14" packages I believe for me!

[@hmrowland6114]

Resonance Records are doing some great archival jazz. Streisand's Live at the Bon Soir is archival album of the year.

[@davidpetersen7091]

Mazzy, Another nice video. Thanks! Happy Holidays!! Mr. Pete--------> aging hippie

[@Matasky2010]

That David Crosby album was my biggest discovery of 2022. Mind blown forever, makes me smile just thinking about those trippy harmonies.

[@Davidicus-m8c]

great video,,glad these record companies,do re-issue this stuff!

[@RandyforRoyals]

The Marvin Gaye album does sound amazing and I'm so glad that I picked it up. The Jacks album sounds very interesting and a group to check out. I need to get the Neil Young Toast album. You have some great picks. Happy Holidays.

[@petercurd7400]

Totally agree on the David Crosby, incredible sound, one small correction though, that release is actually AAA, no digital step according to Mofi, possibly there very last all analogue release as everything going forward will have the DSD step.

[@SafeAndSoundTXAudioExcursion]

I don’t believe there is a digital step in Crosby MOFI, probably the last release that was actually all Analogue.

[@mazzysmusic]

Yeah I wasn’t sure. Thanks you David ✌🏼

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

Showed some really interesting albums Mazzy👍I am checking my bank account..The two Tom Waits, Coltrane and Dillard Clark are right in my wheelhouse..great video👍❤glen

Hi, long time viewer, first time commenter. Just curious to know why you did not include the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Fillmore West release. Thanks.

Rastaman Vibration: does the inner sleeve still say "This album jacket is great for cleaning herb" ... just to the right side of the lyrics to Rat Race?

It does right side in gatefold ✌🏼

Mazzy, can I ask where you get your great hats like the one this video?

Several I’ve worn recently are from Goorin Brothers. San Francisco.

[@chesterpielock8824]

Hey what about Todd?

Hi Mazzy I’m a big fan of Fiona Apple since you put me on to her a couple of years ago, I would love a copy of extraordinary machine but it’s unavailable in Australia and to buy from Vinyl me please with shipping it’s $105 aud

[@gratefultom4210]

How many $ you spent on records this year, MAZ?

[@nechadi]

No PF Animals? No Harvest?

Harvest is a box so no. The OG is great. I didn’t like Animals as much as the OG

If sayting 'it's fantastic' or 'it's a great record' is commentary...then yes Maslov you do comment on records, not like those 'other' people in the VC

ASTOUNDING…! ! !

How the heck could yo have omitted Paul McCartney’s expansive 7”Singles set from this list after all this artist has contributed to the rock & pop musical landscape of past 60 years? It’s an unjustified lapse in my humble opinion.

Everything on point including Colin,but YOKO? Such crap.

Have you heard the YOKO album ?

[@MJP3055]

@@mazzysmusic Yes it hurt my ears

[@jerkinspazz]

Subjective as it is, I gotta disagree on the Coltrane 'Blue Trane' LP. It was never one of his best or most endearing, at the time he didn't even want to do the session, he was done with doing hard bop. He has said he liked the record, but if you listen to his next LP 'Giant Steps' it's a world apart. Blue Trane imo, is not worth the falling-over-oneself to get an expensive reissue. The fact that it is his only Blue Note leader LP....who cares.

[@mazzysmusic]

Fair enough. I love the record even though it’s not one of my top three Coltrane records. But this great reissue of it came out this year and this video is not about ranking all his albums. ✌🏼

[@dock6945]

Luv Blue Train. A Classic! Definitely perfer the Mono though

[@blombidobadila8084]

Blue Train is a very dull, generic listen. Ptah much, much better. Yet, not as well known!
