Capitol Nashville remasters and expands Glen Campbell’s smash 1975 album with five bonus tracks, including the previously unreleased “Quits,” two rare new-to-U.S.-CD single sides and remixes of “Rhinestone Cowboy” and “Country Boy (You Got Your Feet in L.A.).”  Read full details here.

Rick Wakeman Rhapsodies

Rick Wakeman, Rhapsodies (Real Gone Music) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.)

The Yes keyboardist’s final A&M solo album produced by Tony Visconti in 1979 gets the Real Gone treatment!

Dick's Picks 11

Grateful Dead, Dick’s Picks Vol. 11—Stanley Theatre, Jersey City, NJ 9/27/72 (Real Gone Music) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.)

Real Gone’s reissue series from the Grateful Dead vault continues with this 1972 concert from Jersey City, New Jersey’s venerable Stanley Theatre (now a Jehovah’s Witness Assembly Hall)!

H&O Dublin

Daryl Hall and John Oates, Live in Dublin (Eagle Rock)

CD/DVD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.
BD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.

Daryl Hall and John Oates’ July 15, 2014 show at Dublin’s Olympia Theatre – their first in the city – has been captured on audio and video!  The concert’s 15 tracks include “Maneater,” “She’s Gone,” “Sara Smile” and more.  Live in Dublin will be available in CD/DVD and BD editions.

Translator

Translator, Sometimes People Forget (Omnivore) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. )

The music of Translator (“Everywhere That I’m Not”) is celebrated with this new collection of demos recorded between 1979 and 1985.  Of the 22 tracks here, 20 are previously unreleased.  The band’s Steve Barton has co-produced this release!

Best of Grateful Dead

Grateful Dead, The Best of the Grateful Dead (Rhino) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.)

This 50th anniversary anthology includes nearly three hours of music on two CDs, all culled from the band’s studio recordings.  Read more here.

Billie Holiday - Centennial

Billie Holiday, The Centennial Collection (Columbia/Legacy) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.)

Lady Day’s 100th birthday would have been April 7, 2015, so Legacy is marking the occasion with a new 20-track anthology including such staples as “Lover Man,” “What a Little Moonlight Can Do” and “Strange Fruit.”

Ringo - Postcards

Ringo Starr, Postcards from Paradise (UMe) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.)

Ringo Starr’s eighteenth album arrives just in time for his solo induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  Guest musicians include members of Starr’s most recent All-Starr Band, all of whom co-wrote one track with Starr: Todd Rundgren, Steve Lukather, Gregg Rolie, Richard Page, Warren Ham and Gregg Bissonette.  Rundgren also collaborated on the album’s title song.  Guest appearances are also promised from Joe Walsh, Richard Marx, Peter Frampton and Dave Stewart.

Fotheringay

Fotheringay, Nothing More: The Collected Fotheringay (Universal U.K.) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.)

This 3 CD/1 DVD box set promises to be “the most comprehensive compilation yet of the group’s recordings,” including original album tracks, demos, alternate takes, previously unreleased live recordings and, for the first time, the official release of the seven existing tracks which Fotheringay recorded in session for BBC radio. The final disc, a DVD, has the four songs recorded by the group for German TV show Beat Club, effectively doubling the existing footage of Sandy Denny in performance. Two of these songs, “Nothing More” and “John the Gun,” weren’t even broadcast originally. This hardcover book-style box also features rare and previously unseen photographs of the band plus previously unseen original sketches by Marion Appleton, Trevor Lucas’s sister.

Jack the Ripper

Original London Cast Recording, Jack the Ripper (Stage Door) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.)

Ron Pember and Denis De Marne’s 1974 musical Jack the Ripper promised “scenes of fun, terror, song and dance” as it retold the story of the infamous murders in a music-hall style. A cast album was recorded 40 years ago with Pember, Eleanor McCready, Roy Stone and Charles West, but never released. Stage Door premieres that original recording now!

Meat Loaf - Original Album Classics

Meat Loaf, Original Album Classics (Sony U.K.) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.)

Sony’s U.K. arm is boxing up five 1980s albums from the Bat Out of Hell man in one package: Dead Ringer, Midnight at the Lost and Found, Bad Attitude, Blind Before I Stop and Live at Wembley.

The Dove

John Barry, The Dove: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Intrada)

This Intrada Special Collection volume presents the world premiere official soundtrack release of John Barry’s 1974 score to The Dove.  The CD contains all contents of the original 1974 ABC Records album, newly remixed and remastered in stereo from eight-channel session masters stored at Universal.
