Live Forever: Reunited Oasis Plan Albums Box Set
Less than a week after announcing a new, slightly expanded edition of sophomore album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, Oasis are also announcing a box set collecting new pressings of all their studio albums. Ostensibly tied to the ongoing reunion tour (which kicked off in England to audience approval last week), Complete Studio Album Collection is exactly what it says: the band's seven studio albums issued between 1994 and 2008, plus 1998 B-sides collection The Masterplan. With the

From the First Sting, available September 26, will be available as a 180-gram 2LP or 1CD set offering 16 classic singles including "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and "Wind of Change," or a 2CD set

The Living Return: Cherry Pop Continues Swing Out Sister Box Set Series
U.K. sophisti-pop act Swing Out Sister is getting a new box set from Cherry Red in July - and it's a good excuse for us to shine a light on both collections the label has recently planned for the group. Known for their international 1987 hit "Breakout," the group - primarily consisting of singer Corinne Drewery and keyboardist Andy Connell, along with the talents of producer Paul Staveley O'Duffy, who's produced nearly all the group's albums - have released decades' worth of jazzy originals

It's 27 bonus tracks in all, plus a liner notes essay
The Weekend Stream: July 5, 2025
Welcome to another edition of The Weekend Stream, The Second Disc's review of notable catalogue titles (and some new ones, too!) making digital debuts. Lots of Fourth of July musical statements were made this week, from a Prince rarity coming out of the vaults to Ben Folds' surprisingly politically charged, surprise live album. Plus, the last two albums by a terrific British rock band and a new song from an American classic rock act reflecting on its 30 years together (even the last few tough
Review: Robin Trower, "For Earth Below: 50th Anniversary Edition"
1975's For Earth Below proved a turning point for Robin Trower. The ex-Procol Harum guitarist's third solo set, it introduced drummer Bill Lordan to Trower's power trio which also included singer-bassist James Dewar. Building on the success of its predecessor, Bridge of Sighs, the album became Trower's most successful in the United States and solidified his place in the guitar-hero pantheon. Now, Chrysalis Records has revisited the blues-rock classic in a new 4CD mediabook edition, mirroring

There's a new "Fully Tailored" 4LP set that offers a new half-speed master of the album, cut at Abbey Road Studios and pressed on 180-gram vinyl, along with three discs including all the live
Baby I'm-A Want You: Elektra Celebrates 75 Years with Monthlong Initiative
Jac Holzman was still in college when he and pal Paul Rickolt each chipped in three hundred bucks to start a record company. That label, Elektra Records - so named for Greek mythology's daughter of Atlas and Pleione, but with the "c" swapped out for a "k" - inaugurated its catalogue with the simply-titled New Songs, an album of poetry settings by composer-pianist John Gruen. Elektra soon shifted its emphasis to folk music, growing its discography with recordings by Theodore Bikel, Josh White,

"Long ago / Just like the Hearse you die to get in again..." With those dramatic words, most fans had their introduction to a new kind of emo band: New Jersey's own My Chemical Romance.

Set Your Sights on Monday: Omnivore Expands America's "Hearts" for Its 50th Anniversary
