Various Artists, Poppies: Assorted Finery from the First Psychedelic Age [CD] (Craft Recordings) (Amazon U.S. /Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

Poppies is a 13-track collection - the first in a series of themed compilations - that brings together psychedelic rock and pop rarities from the Vanguard, Stax, Hip, Musart, and Original Sound catalogs. Among the cult-classic favorites that feature are Buffy Sainte-Marie (whose eerie 1969 acid-folk track "Poppies" gives the collection its name), Southwest F.O.B. (whose "Smell of Incense" was one of Stax Records' most surprising best-sellers), and a wealth of other often-forgotten mementos of the era by the likes of The Honey Jug, The Sot Weed Factor, Erik, The Serpent Power, and The Human Jungle. The latter is represented by a previously unreleased track called "When Will You Happen To Me." Alongside the music, Poppies boasts detailed liner notes written by five-time Grammy nominee Alec Palao which provide details on the artists and songs in the collection.

Various Artists, Ben Bagley's Ballet on Broadway (Kritzerland)

Kritzerland continues its reissue series of the late Ben Bagley's Painted Smiles releases with Ballet on Broadway, spotlighting great dance arrangements from musicals including High Button Shoes, Li'l Abner, Jamaica, and Can-Can as conducted by the legendary Lehman Engel. Kritzerland has retained the previous CD edition's bonus material, mostly composed by Vernon Duke from various musicals including Nantucket, co-written with Harold Rome. This remastered edition is limited to 500 units. CDs will ship by the last week of May, but pre-orders directly from the label will likely arrive earlier.

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Bill Evans, Evans In England [CD] (Resonance) (Amazon U.S. /Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

Fresh from its debut on vinyl for Record Store Day, Resonance Records releases Evans In England on 2 CDs and in digital configurations today.  The 18-track album transports listeners back to 1969, when the introspective Evans (1929-1980) was joined in his familiar trio setting by bassist Eddie Gomez and guitarist Marty Morell for a stand at Ronnie Scott's in December 1969. The recording was captured a year into the tenure of what would become Evans' longest-running Trio.  The accompanying book features essays by Resonance's Zev Feldman and journalist Marc Myers; interviews with Gomez, Morell and filmmaker Leon Terjanian (who brought the private tapes to the label's attention); and rare photographs.

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Wes Montgomery, Back on Indiana Avenue: The Carroll DeCamp Recordings [CD]
(Resonance) (Amazon U.S. /Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

The title of Resonance's latest dive into the Wes Montgomery archive harkens back to the label's 2012 collection Echoes of Indiana Avenue, which has since been followed by numerous other significant Montgomery vault excursions. Back on Indiana Avenue returns to the guitarist's Indianapolis roots, before his 1959 signing with Riverside Records.  These recordings find the late Montgomery in numerous settings including piano quartets, organ trios, sextets, and drummer-less trios a la The Nat King Cole Trio.  The 22 tracks include copious standards and songs that Montgomery would later immortalize at Riverside.  The collection includes a booklet with essays by historian Lewis Porter and Zev Feldman, interviews with jazz legends George Benson and John Scofield, saxophonist-educator Jamey Aebersold, and guitarist Royce Campbell, nephew of Carroll DeCamp.

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

The O'Jays, The Last Word (S-Curve) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

One of Philly soul's greatest all-time groups, The O'Jays, return with a new album promised to be their last.  The Last Word includes the politically-charged "Above the Law" and eight other tracks reflecting their rich R&B heritage.  Available on CD, LP, and digital.

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Sam Stone

Sam Stone has been obsessed with catalog music ever since his folks gave him a Contours best-of collection for his fourth birthday. He quickly began to learn all he could about rock and roll history and beyond, a passion that continues to this day. Sam followed his love for music to the classroom, earning a B.A. from Towson University in Electronic Media and Film, concentrating on radio and audio production, as well as an M.A. in Audio Arts from Syracuse University. He has put his knowledge and skills to work at prominent reissue labels and is excited to bring his perspectives on catalog music to a broader audience. When he’s not writing for The Second Disc, Sam can be found researching about music, talking about Joni Mitchell’s career, and adding another box set to his Amazon wish list.
