As promised, La La Land Records put the score to Clue up for order yesterday. The soundtrack to the comedy board game adaptation, composed by John Morris, is full of bonus content and limited to 3,000 copies and is yours to order here. (The track list is of course after the jump.) But that's not the only exciting La La Land news we have here at The Second Disc. Tomorrow afternoon, we're running an exclusive interview with the head of the label, MV Gerhard! He's going to talk about the great

Full "Vs.," "Vitalogy" Reissue Details Announced
Pearl Jam fans will have a few more black (silver?) circles to spin when Vs. and Vitalogy are reissued this March - and now we've got full details on the sets, including deluxe formats.

The release of Live Forever, Bob Marley's last concert on CD, yielded the first retail exclusives for a catalogue title in 2011 - a T-shirt for Target buyers and a bonus disc for Best Buy customers - and we have some more detail about the offerings at each store. For reasons I can't wrap my head around, Target is also offering a third version of the set - not only the double-disc edition with and without the T-shirt, but a pared-down single-disc version of the album.

A Little More "Love" is All You Need: iTunes to Release Another Beatles Album, Expanded
Despite the less than stellar reception by yours truly, The Beatles' partnership with iTunes has been a massive boon for The Fab Four's catalogue. And that boon looks to get a little bigger next week, when EMI and Apple release another one of the band's albums for download: the soundtrack to Love, the band's Cirque du Soleil show. Created in 2006 for The Mirage in Las Vegas, Love combines the artistic and acrobatic aesthetics of the Montreal-based entertainment troupe with the music of The
