McRae Carmen - Great Women Of Song: Carmen McRae CD
Verve Records vydáva najnovšie vydania vo svojej edícii Great Women Of Song, ktorý vzdáva hold priekopníckej práci a trvalému vplyvu niektorých z najväčších ženských vokalistiek všetkých čias. Rovnako ako jej idol Billie Holiday, aj Carmen McRae by mohla vlastniť baladu a urobiť si všetko po svojom. Mohla by tiež swingovať každý kúsok tak tvrdo ako jej ďalší hlavný vplyv, Ella Fitzgerald. Carmen, ktorá sa objavila počas Bebopovej éry a pod hudobnou vlnou Thelonious Monk, vytvorila sériu nahrávok pre vydavateľstvo Decca, ktoré posilnili jej povesť a odštartovali kariéru, ktorá má takmer 50 rokov. Či už v malých skupinách alebo za podpory štúdiového orchestra, Carmen McRae nahrala definitívne verzie piesní, ktoré tvoria chrbticu jazzu a veľký americký spevník.

Beatles, The - The Beatles 2LP
V listopadu 1968 byly do všemožných hudebních obchodů světa vyslány miliony kopií eponymního devátého dvojalba jedné z nejlegendárnějších kapel hudební historie - Beatles. Albu, které po generace nepřestává lidstvo inspirovat, se později začalo přezdívat The White Album. Reedice desky vyjde 9. listopadu a bude obsahovat 30 Gilesem Martinem (syn George Martina) a Samem Okellem nově vysoce kvalitně zmixovaných písní (The White Album), 27 dřívějších akustických demo nahrávek (Esher Demos) a 50 z většiny dosud nevydaných nahrávek pocházejících ze studiových sessions (Sessions).
The White Album bude k dostání v několika verzích. Super deluxe verze s tradičním unikátním číslem bude obsahovat dva disky, na kterých je nahrané album, jeden disk s Esher Demos, tři disky Sessions, čtyři Blu-ray verze alba a je doplněna knihou plnou fotografií, plakátů, rukopisů, poznámek a textů. Deluxe varianta bude obsahovat výše zmíněné disky, 4LP limitovaný box set - klasické album a audio kolekci, která mj. obsahuje Esher Demos, 24stránkový booklet, plakáty a portréty. Standard verze potom obsahuje klasické původní 2LP.
Většina skladeb byla složena v meditačním centru Mahariši Maheš Jógiho poblíž indického Rišikeše, kam členové skupiny se svými manželkami odcestovali v únoru 1968, aby se zrekreovali a věnovali se meditacím. Na rozdíl od předchozího alba, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, nebylo The White Album zamýšleno jako konceptuální album. Písně nespojuje žádné téma, střídá se i mnoho stylů hudby (blues, hard-rock, folk, ska a další). Je možné, že právě z důvodu takového množství nesourodých „škatulek” či „koutků” chtěli Beatles toto album původně nazvat Domeček pro panenky.
Obal desky navrhl renomovaný autor pop artu Richard Hamilton a je v kontrastu s obalem „Seržanta Peppera” stejně, jako je tomu v případě hudebního obsahu těchto dvou alb. Celá obálka má bílou barvu. Na obálce je pouze plasticky či v odstínech šedi vytlačen název alba.
Album se v Británii i Americe stalo okamžitým bestsellerem, který se umístil na prvních příčkách, kde se držel osm až devět týdnů. Deska se stala 19x platinovou a v roce 2000 byla uvedena do Grammy Hall of Fame jako „deska s neuvadající kvalitou a historickým významem”. „Jedná se o nejlepší album, které kdy Beatles vydali a jenom Beatles mohou udělat ještě lepší,” komentoval tehdy desku spoluzakladatel časopisu Rolling Stone Jann Wenner.

The Dust of Death: The Story of the Great Plague of the Twentieth Century
A short story in the "Doom of London" series. It begins:"The front door bell tinkled impatiently; evidently somebody was in a hurry. Alan Hubert answered the call, a thing that even a distinguished physician might do, seeing that it was on the stroke of midnight. The tall, graceful figure of a woman in evening dress stumbled into the hall. The diamonds in her hair shimmered and trembled, her face was full of terror."You are Dr. Hubert," she gasped. "I am Mrs. Fillingham, the artist's wife, you know. Will you come with me at once... My husband... I had been dining out. In the studio... Oh, please come!"... "Hubert walked up the drive and past the trim lawns with Mrs. Fillingham hanging on his arm, and in at the front door. ...a human figure lying on his back before the fireplace. The clean-shaven, sensitive face of the artist had a ghastly, purple-black tinge, there was a large swelling in the throat. ... 'Diphtheria!' he exclaimed. 'Label's type unless I am greatly mistaken. Some authorities are disposed to scoff at Dr. Label's discovery. I was an assistant of his for four years and I know better. Fortunately I happen to know what the treatment—successful in two cases—was.'"That is only the beginning. The doctor consults Dr. Label, whose theory is that the disease originates in the soil where houses have been built over former garbage dumps or where raw refuse was used as construction fill in London. "For years I have been prophesying an outbreak of some new disease—or some awful form of an old one—and here it comes."The reader should keep in mind that this was written before the development of antimicrobial drugs, so a diptheria outbreak was very serious. However, even in 1903 there was a treatment for diphtheria, involving injection of anti-toxin produced from animals immunized against heat-inactivated diphtheria bacteria, but it was not used widely or adequately. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diphtheria). Today, people are immunized against diphtheria during childhood.First published in Pearson's Magazine, March 1903 with illustrations by Warwick Goble. The illustrations can be seen at the Project Gutenberg Australia souce; they are omitted from this eBook.Reprinted in Science Fiction By The Rivals Of H.G. Wells, Castle Books, 1979.

Én, Mátyás király
Gáspár Ferenc legújabb könyvében különleges utazásra invitálja az olvasót: egyes szám első személyben beszélteti hősét, a mindmáig legnépszerűbb magyar uralkodót, Mátyás királyt, mégpedig úgy, hogy időnként magunk sem tudjuk Mátyás-e az, aki mesél nekünk, vagy Lebersit, a király udvari bolondja. Ők ketten ugyanis – akárcsak Arany János vígballadájában, a Pázmán lovagban –, gyakran kicserélik egymást ebben a bűnügyi regényre is hajazó műben.
A szerző megidézi a haldokló Mátyás lelkivilágát, ahogyan cselekedeteinek, döntéseinek mozgatórugóit felfedi, és amikből kiviláglik a nagy király stratégiája, életfilozófiája és életszeretete.
Mindezzel együtt egy izzig-vérig mai történetet olvashatunk, egy olyan regényt, melyben a főhős ugyanolyan magányos döntéseiben, akárcsak a ma embere.
Az Én, Mátyás király nem folytatása a korábbi műveknek – Janus, Galeotto –, ám azoknak a regényeknek a szereplői szintén feltűnnek a regényben.
S ha a Galeotto, Berka Attila, a könyv szerkesztője szerint a szerző lírai ars poeticája, akkor az Én, Mátyás király annál inkább az.
