Memories made this past Sunday for @adamlevyguitar and the Mint Imperials during the album release party. A packed house of people enjoying the sweet sound of Adam Levy’s new album, Honestly”.
As we always do here Stella Records/Reel to Reel Haven, this recording was done straight to 24 channel two inch (Studer 827) mixed/mastered to 1/2 inch 1/2 track (Otari MTR-10). The vinyl is also a pure analog, 180 gram cut straight from the master tape by the legend that is Paul Gold of @saltmastering
Thank you so much again to Adam and his Brother Andy and Tony. So much love!

Thank you for the incredible ART!: @addnoisestudios
Thank you the incredible music @bonnieraittofficial
Mom turned me on to Sly Stone. She had amazing taste in music and this record was played ALOT when I was a little kid.
It also became one of the first records that I played along to…. At 8 years old, I didn’t realize it was the incredible Greg Errico playing drums.All I knew is that this music made me feel so good.
His music was timeless….Always “Fresh”
Thank you Sly Stone for sharing all your gifts with us…
RIP
