Friday, October 26, 2012 at 01:52AM REAL GONE MUSIC ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH DUSTY GROOVE FOR REISSUE CAMPAIGN
First Releases Include Albums by Gene Harris, Bobbi Humphrey and Jeremy Steig
Los Angeles, California—Chicago's Dusty Groove record store stands on Ashland just south of Division in the city's Wicker Park area. But for music lovers around the globe who have either made the pilgrimage or bought from its online store, Dusty Groove stands squarely (or, rather, hiply) at the intersection of soul, funk, jazz, hip hop and world music as purveyors of the rarest, coolest and freshest sounds around. Now, Real Gone Music, the upstart, eclectic reissue label distributed by Sony via Razor & Tie, is proud to announce that it is teaming up with Dusty Groove to produce reissues drawn from the store's 16-year experience selling to its dedicated audience of collectors, deejays, devotees and fans; these titles are all time-tested yet impossible to find on compact disc. And the first releases in the joint venture—all out December 4—hit right on that soul-jazz-funk sweet spot.

JOHNNY MATHIS: This Is Love/Ole’ CD
1964’s This Is Love was one of the last and greatest of the romantic ballad albums Johnny had been recording throughout his career to that point, with three tracks (“Poinciana,” “The Touch of Your Lips” and “The End of a Love Affair”) paying tribute to another all-time great romantic balladeer and early role model, Nat “King” Cole. 1965’s Ole, meanwhile, marked a daring artistic turn for the artist, as it presented Latin songs sung in their native languages of Spanish and Portuguese (including two from the film Black Orpheus) with authentic, stripped-down accompaniment. It turned out to be too much of a departure for his fanbase--Ole’ broke Johnny’s streak of 25 straight charting albums. But it remains one of his most treasured releases, a true artistic tour de force and one of the finest American pop answers to the bossa nova craze that swept the country in the mid-‘60s. Jim Ritz contributes liner notes with fresh quotes from Johnny himself—newly remastered by Mark Wilder at Battery Studios!

JOHNNY MATHIS: The Sweetheart Tree/The Shadow of Your Smile CD
A pair of 1965 albums, with liner notes by Jim Ritz containing exclusive quotes from Johnny and a sparkling remastering job by Mark Wilder at Battery Studios! Johnny went to London to record ten of the tracks—his first sessions outside the U.S.—for The Sweetheart Tree, which featured the Academy Award-nominated title track penned by Mathis and Henry Mancini for the film The Great Race. And The Shadow of Your Smile was, with the exception of his Christmas record, the most popular of the albums Johnny recorded for Mercury, reaching #9 on the charts. It features the singer’s first foray into Beatle-mania (“Michelle” and “Yesterday”) and three songs from the hit Broadway musical On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.
