The second sampler released by Stockfisch-Records with a collection of 15 tracks.

The first sampler released by Stockfisch-Records with a collection of 17 tracks. Although taken from different CD productions, these titles reveal a close relationship to sound and interpretation.

These old analog recordings were chosen because of the fantastic sound. For the new series Günter Pauler is looking in archives and is searching for grantors of a license. Before releasing as "Analog Pearls" the tracks have been carefully remastered at Stockfisch-Records.

The vinyl-edition is going to get out of print and a reprint of direct-to-disc vinyl is strictly unacceptable. According to our opinion this wonderfully swinging piano-trio highlight should be available in the future anyway. Therefore Stockfisch released the bassface swing trio recording as a separate Hybrid-SACD.

On the 19th of October, 2002, Sara K. performed, together with Chris Jones at the ARTmax in Braunschweig, Germany. The concert was captured both on video and on (digital) tape for the Bowers & Wilkins Nautilustour-DVD. The live atmosphere of this performance (an additional concert especially organized by B&W) comes across both aurally and visually amazingly well.

This pure audio blu-ray disc has been designed to offer two ways of operation, either with or without a TV screen: you can either navigate the on-screen pop-up menu or simply use the dedicated buttons of your blu-ray player remote control. The numeric keys directly access the corresponding track number and the desired audio stream can be selected by the coloured keys on your remote.

Allan Taylor: "Normally when making a live CD or a film one records a few concerts and then edits together the best parts from them all. We only had one night so there was a lot of pressure to get it right, and I think we did."

Allan Taylor: "What we aimed to do was to make a film about a travelling troubadour, how he gets his ideas for songs, how he writes songs, how he plays the concerts and how he travels from city to city - we wanted to show the lifestyle of a singer-songwriter. It´s hard for me to be objective about the result, I guess, because I´ve lived it, but I hope you get some idea of what it´s like."
