Press Release It's a great week for new releases and reissues, with a 50th Anniversary reissue of The Band's eponymous second album alongside a plethora of new releases from Warp Records, a new Lady Antebellum album, and a new Arthur Russell album from his archives. But before we get deeper into the music, here's your Qobuz Tip of the Week: If you haven't yet heard, Qobuz USA has some very exciting news: Qobuz pricing plans are combined and reduced. There will be two levels only and they both support Hi-Res. The new Studio Premier plan that streams up to 24-bit/192kHz has dropped in price from $24.99 to $14.99. If you pay annually, the subscription falls to $12.50 per month. Sublime+ has been reduced to an annual price of $249.99, or about $20 per month, giving large discounts to download purchases on top of the Hi-Res streaming. Anyone already on a monthly plan will automatically be charged the new, reduced price when their plan renews. If you are a yearly subscription-holder, depending on when you initially signed up you can either renew for another year at a pro-rated price, or claim a refund on your current subscription. For more information about your account and how to take advantage of the new pricing, please visit our FAQ: https://try.qobuz.com/faq-studio-premier/ Regarding MP3 files, Qobuz is the first to kill this unnecessary format, so we will not have a plan lower than Studio Premier or Sublime+. These are the basic details, however, we had a live feed during our press conference at the New York Audio Show where more details were discussed - you can watch the recording here: facebook.com/qobuzUSA/videos/2465323826850398/ Thank you very much for choosing us as your streaming service as we pursue our mission to promote high quality music and make it accessible to all music lovers. We are very excited to continue offering you the best quality music in the world, along with our human-led curation, detailed metadata, and support for your favorite Hi-Fi brands. Album of the Week Once the backing band of Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan during the latter's controversial transition from acoustic to electric, The Band—four Canadians and a singing drummer from Arkansas—cemented their unity with a generic name, and startled the rock music world with the otherworldliness of their 1968 debut Music from Big Pink. The follow-up, simply titled The Band (and fondly known as "The Brown Album"), is a near-perfect mix of American popular music, from country and blues to folk and rock.
This 50th anniversary reissue features a fresh remix supervised by Bob Clearmountain and Robbie Robertson, and is supplemented with alternate takes and demos, as well as the first official release of the Band’s performance at Woodstock. © Robert Baird / Qobuz LISTEN NOW
