Bobby Darin, Another Song on My Mind: The Motown Years (Second Disc/Real Gone)  (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

We know that you all know about this one...it's the ultimate celebration of Bobby Darin's time at Motown Records on 2 CDs, newly remastered from the original analog tapes by Kevin Reeves and featuring my liner notes based on new interviews with Smokey Robinson and Jerry Marcellino!  Most of this material is making its debut on CD, and it's Darin as you've never heard him before.  Bobby would have turned 80th on May 14, but his rich legacy of music lives on!

Moving in Stereo: The Best of The Cars, a new single-disc compilation, rounds up the best of the band's output from their entire career, including their incredible run on Elektra Records and even the band's 2011 effort Move Like This. (That last record was, of course, only a partial reunion, after the passing of vocalist/bassist Benjamin Orr in 2000.)  The collection includes 18 tracks, including the rare single mix of "I'm Not the One" included on the band's original Greatest Hits album, and two unreleased tracks: a live version of "Everything You Say" from the band's final Elektra albumDoor to Door (1987) and a remix of "Sad Song" from Move Like This.  Ted Jensen has remastered under Ric Ocasek's supervision.  Available on CD and vinyl.  Read more here!
