- Epic/Legacy will release The Ultimate Collection by Sade on May 3. Intended to tease the band's long-awaited summer tour, the set will feature tracks from all the band's albums, from 1984's Diamond Life to 2010's Soldier of Love, and will feature three unreleased tracks, including a new remix of Solider track "The Moon and the Sky" featuring rapper Jay-Z. Those who pre-order the set through the band's official site will get exclusive access to ticket pre-sales for recently-announced dates starting next week. (There's also an Amazon pre-order listing, for those so inclined.)
- Chalk up another Nirvana release for Record Store Day: a vinyl reissue of the band's 1992 EP Hormoaning. Initially only released in limited quantities in Australia and Japan to coincide with the band's tour there, the disc features two original B-sides ("Aneurysm" and "Even in His Youth," released on the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" singles) and three covers (Devo's "Turnaround" and "Molly's Lips" and "Son of a Gun," both by The Vaselines) recorded for the BBC in 1990. (Those covers, along with alternate versions of the B-sides, appeared on the Incesticide compilation in the U.S. later that year.
