Release Round-Up: Week of October 4

After a blowout week of catalogue titles last Tuesday, you can almost hear the crickets chirp. There’s some seasonal stuff on the horizon, though, so keep your eyes peeled.

John Coltrane, The Impulse! Albums Volume 5 (Hip-o Select/Verve)

Five of ‘Trane’s posthumous albums, boxed. (Hip-o Select)

Joss Stone, The Best of 2003-2009 (Virgin)

A simple overview for the British chanteuse. (Amazon)

The Jesus and Mary Chain, Munki / Stoned and Dethroned: Deluxe Editions (Edsel)

Another batch of JAMC expansions. Almost to the end! (Official site)

Lonnie Smith, Mama Walker / Johnny Hammond, Wild Horses/Rock Steady / Esther Phillips, Performance / Hank Crawford, Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing (Masterworks Jazz)

Four vintage albums from the Kudu label, remastered and reissued on CD. (Original post)

The Beach Boys, The Beach Boys’ Christmas Album (Capitol/EMI)

A straight reissue of the iconic holiday LP. As Joe pointed out last year, there’s plenty of golden compilations for The Beach Boys’ holiday hits out there. (Amazon)

Frank Sinatra, A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra (Capitol/EMI)

Another straight reissue, including the same bonus tracks from a 1954 single as heard on a reissue ten years ago. (Amazon)

Mike Duquette

Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, having written at and worked for all three major catalogue music labels and contributing to Allmusic, Billboard, Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Classic Rock. He's penned liner notes for Verve, Chess, Mondo and Soul Music Records.

Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.
