Welcome to this week's packed Release Round-Up, featuring hotly-anticipated box sets, an extensive campaign from an iconoclastic artist, and much, much more!

Paul McCartney reassesses his 1989 album Flowers in the Dirt in a variety of formats.  All boast a remastered version of the original 13-track album (including the CD and cassette bonus track "Où est le Soleil?") as the centerpiece, while the 3-CD/1-DVD Deluxe Edition Box Set and 2-CD Special Edition offer varying amounts of previously unreleased bonus tracks including original demos performed by Macca and Elvis Costello.  Associated B-sides, demos (including three more with Costello) and remixes have been controversially relegated to download-only status, with a download card included as part of the deluxe package.  Read more here!

Various Artists, Songs From Kermit Goell's Pocahontas: The West End Musical (Stage Door) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

Stage Door Records unearths another lost bit of West End history with this first-ever release of music from composer-lyricist-librettist Kermit Goell's Pocahontas.  The 1963 show starring Anita Gillette and Terence Cooper was a swift 12-performance flop, prompting Decca Records to cancel its cast album recording sessions.  But the score was preserved on a demo sung by a company of Broadway vocalists as well as on the composer's piano demos.  Stage Door premieres those ultra-rare recordings on CD along with a newly-recorded interview with Anita Gillette!
