The time is now to Rediscover Records. Look to this page for records we are featuring. Here are a few.
Kind of Blue
Artist: Miles Davis
$21. 98 | Buy Now
Condition: New & Sealed
Label: Columbia
Once again, another record in our catalog that all of the adjectives have been exhausted, and for good reason. Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" is one of the great, if not the greatest, jazz record of all time. Many jazz aficionado's describe this record as a "less is more" approach to creating great jazz. It's where Davis and his band painted simply on a blank canvas of beautiful music. Davis had the musicians enter the studio unprepared to what they were going to play, thus, perhaps is where the greatness was achieved. This is the Columbia reissue of the original 1959 release. If your record collection is lacking some jazz, here is your starting point.
Siamese Dream
Artist: Smashing Pumpkins
$26. 98 | Buy Now
Condition: New & Sealed
Label: Virgin
The 2011 reissue of the Smashing Pumpkins alternative radio hit, Siamese Dream. This was the peak of the Alternative Rock hey day with all the Alterna-kids! This mainstreaming of the alternative music market should not diminish the brilliance of this record. One of the more exciting reissues to come out in recent years. To the best of our knowledge, this was not released on vinyl originally in 1993. Act fast, stop in or order now. The copies we have had have moved fast. "Today is the greatest day I've ever known."
A Wasteland Companion
Artist: M. Ward
$21. 98 | Buy Now
Condition: New & Sealed
Label: Merge
The 2012 release, "A Wasteland Companion" by solo artist, She & Him Guy, and Monster of Folk, M. Ward.

Thanks for your support of all things Rediscover Records.
Come Fly South
Artist: The Mastersons
$19. 98 | Buy Now
Condition: New & Sealed
Label: New West
The debut record, released in 2012, by The Mastersons. Excellent new music and new bands can be found if you turn over enough stones. Keep looking, keep searching, and you'll find great new bands like The Mastersons. For those who claim there is no decent music in this day and age, we say, "Congratulations you have become your parents!" The Mastersons were one of the highlights, or buzz bands, if you will, at the 2012 SXSW Music Conference. The song "One Word More" can be found on this record. Look for them on tour. Remember, the joy is in the sojourn in finding great new music.
Indestructible Machine
Artist: Lydia Loveless
$16. 98 | Buy Now
Condition: New & Sealed
Label: Bloodshot
There are not enough superlatives to describe this record. It's fantastic, one of the better releases of 2011 and almost a certain entry to our Top 10 records of the year. Lydia Loveless is a 21 year old ball of fire. Look out, now, look out! Think of a much more rocked out Neko Case with a little Patsy Cline thrown in for good measure. And if that wasn't cool enough, she has a song that kicks off side two titled, "Steve Earle". The Chicago Tribune's Greg Kot calls this record one of the best of 2011. Her band is tight and rockin' enough to kick just about anybody's asre. Find all the best new releases at Rediscover Records.
Cure For Pain
Artist: Morphine
$24. 98 | Buy Now
Condition: New & Sealed
Label: Light In the Attic
Morphine released "Cure For Pain" in 1993, at what was becoming the height of the alternative music craze as "mainstream" music. "Alternative" stations were springing up in all major markets with all sorts of Nirvana wannabe's, practitioners of Grunge, and no shortage of music with enough bombast to last a decade, because it did last a decade. This record speaks volumes but without the bombast. Morphine was just drums, sax, bass, and the late Mark Sandman's vocals. It has a sultry film noir quality to it. Listen late at night preferably with very little light. This is the latest in a series of great reissues by Light In the Attic Records. Buena.
