The Beatles and Eric Clapton Join the New Release List at SoundStageDirect.com

Online, April 8, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Thanks to all the innovations of digital downloads and compact discs, it's hard to imagine a time when the only way to listen to music was by playing it back from vinyl records. However, for some music aficionados, listening to recordings on vinyl is truly the only way to experience great music. To serve the segment of the music-loving population which prefers vinyl recordings, SoundStageDirect.com has become a leading online independent record store. Not only do they provide vinyl releases of contemporary artists, but they also reissue classic recordings in all their stereo sounding glory. Two recent additions on the new release list of SoundStageDirect are the Beatles' Abbey Road and The Blues Box Set by Eric Clapton. Both are prime examples of musical genius.

Abbey Road was released at the end of the 60s, on September 26, 1969. Little did the fans of the Beatles realize this would also mark the end of their recording sessions together. Although Paul McCartney and John Lennon where the primary songwriters of the Liverpool four, their band mates had a chance to shine as well. On Abbey Road, George Harrison was responsible for the classics Here Comes the Sun and Something. These are two prime examples of why every Beatle was an exceptional musical talent. Abbey Road also had an iconic album cover of the Beatles marching across that now famous stretch of street heading to the studio. It is a shot that has often been duplicated, but nothing beats the original. That is the same sentiment shared by fans of the vinyl recordings offered by SoundStageDirect.com.

As the Beatles were winding down their career as a band, musical artist Eric Clapton was just beginning his. Anyone who followed Clapton's career knew how influenced his own musical choices were by the blues. This new collection put together in an exclusive box set features Clapton's three top selling blues-based albums: From the Cradle, Riding With the King and Me and Mister Johnson. From the Cradle was Clapton's first solo release entirely focused on the blues and the album quickly shot up the charts to the number one position. It remains a classic to this day.
