7" 45-RPM SINGLES

The Jimi Hendrix Experience "Hey Joe" b/w "Stone Free" � Hendrix fans are very familiar with these two favorite cuts but here they're presented in the original mono mixes that were created for the band's first U.K. single. Packaged in a picture sleeve.

Willie Nelson "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die" � What could be a more appropriate tune to be released on 4/20? America's favorite pot-puffing troubadour is joined by Kris Kristofferson, Snoop Dogg and Jamey Johnson on this hillbilly ode to weed. B-side features a previously-unreleased version with Willie going it solo. In a picture sleeve and of course pressed on green vinyl.

10" 45-RPM E.P.

Sly and the Family Stone I Want to Take You Higher � Here's some rare stuff from Sly even though the songs are familiar.

ALBUMS

Aerosmith Aerosmith, Get Your Wings, Toys in the Attic � Here's where it all began for the legendary bad boys of rock and roll.

Among the seminal early songs appearing here are "Dream On," "Walkin' the Dog," "Same Old Song and Dance," "Train Kept a Rollin'," "Walk This Way" and "Sweet Emotion."

Cypress Hill Black Sunday � Has it really been two decades since we first heard "Insane in the Brain"? Yup, here's the 20th anniversary edition of Black Sunday, also containing smokin' favorites like "Legalize It," "Hits from the Bong" and "I Wanna Get High." Pressed on two discs and packaged in a gatefold jacket.

Miles Davis 'Round about Midnight, Milestones, Someday My Prince Will Come � Davis fans will be thrilled that these three albums are back on vinyl, all presented in the original mono. 'Round about Midnight, featuring John Coltrane, is considered one of the greatest jazz albums ever while Milestones, also with Coltrane, finds Davis experimenting with modal jazz for the first time. Someday My Prince Will Come, the follow-up to Sketches of Spain, features a nine-minute take on the title track from the film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, again with Coltrane.

Dust Dust/Hard Attack � You may not have heard of this group but you likely know the three men who comprised the band: session bass player Kenny Aaronson (Bob Dylan, Rick Derringer, New York Dolls), Marc Bell, later known as Marky Ramone and Richie Wise who went on to produce, among others, the first two Kiss albums. This double-disc set contains the heavy rock band's only two albums packaged in a gatefold sleeve.

Also included is a remix of a cover of John Lennon's "I Don't Want to be a Soldier." Packaged in a gatefold sleeve.

Taj Mahal The Natch'l Blues, The Hidden Treasures of Taj Mahal 1969 � 1973 � The Natch'l Blues was Mahal's second album, featuring pianist Al Kooper and guitarist Jesse Ed Davis and introducing fans to what would become Mahal standards like "Corinna."

Hidden Treasures is a two-disc set packaged in a gatefold sleeve.
