JOE MARCHESE (Editor) joined The Second Disc shortly after its launch in early 2010, and has since penned daily news and reviews about classic music of all genres. In 2015, Joe formed the Second Disc Records label. Celebrating the great songwriters, producers and artists who created the sound of American popular song and beyond, Second Disc Records, in conjunction with labels including Real Gone Music and Cherry Red Records, has released newly-curated collections produced and annotated by Joe from iconic artists such as Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross and The Supremes, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, The Spinners, Johnny Mathis, Bobby Darin, Meat Loaf, Laura Nyro, Melissa Manchester, Liza Minnelli, Darlene Love, Al Stewart, Michael Nesmith, and many others.

Joe has written liner notes, produced, or contributed to over 200 reissues from a diverse array of artists, among them America, JD Souther, Nat "King" Cole, Paul Williams, Lesley Gore, Dusty Springfield, BJ Thomas, The 5th Dimension, Burt Bacharach, The Mamas and the Papas, Carpenters, Perry Como, Rod McKuen, Doris Day, Jackie DeShannon, Petula Clark, Robert Goulet, and Andy Williams.

Over the past two decades, Joe has also worked in a variety of capacities on and off Broadway as well as at some of the premier theatres in the U.S., including Lincoln Center Theater, George Street Playhouse, Paper Mill Playhouse, Long Wharf Theatre, and the York Theatre Company. He has felt privileged to work on productions alongside artists such as the late Jack Klugman, Eli Wallach, Arthur Laurents, Betty Comden and Adolph Green. In 2009, Joe began contributing theatre and music reviews to the print publication The Sondheim Review, and in 2012, he joined the staff of The Digital Bits as a regular contributor writing about film and television on DVD and Blu-ray.

Joe currently resides in the suburbs of New York City.

    My package arrived today. The Essential Johnny Winter playing as I type. Came just in time too because the weather is horrible and nothing to do outside. Also, as long as I’m here, was the Rosemary Clooney box set issued by Real Gone Music from the same company who did the Steppenwolf, Mamas & the Papas and Grass Roots sets? Can’t find any info at their website. Thanks again.

      Glad you’re enjoying it!

      The Rosemary Clooney “Eight Albums” box set is from the U.K.-based Real Gone label, which has no relationship to the U.S. label. The U.K. Real Gone repackages albums currently in public domain in the European Union for budget release; the American label (with whom we work on our Second Disc Records releases) fully licenses all titles from their respective copyright holders and adds the wonderful bells and whistles (liner notes, remastering, etc.) we appreciate so much around here! Do look for the American Real Gone’s reissue of Rosemary’s WHITE CHRISTMAS album, however, if you haven’t already!
