On the heels of the news about his live album vinyl and CD reissues, Paul McCartney has announced another reissue project: this one involving the sole album by his wife, Linda, Wide Prairie. Originally released in 1998, the album collected tracks that she sang and played on during her time in Wings, including the non-album single "Seaside Woman" / "B-Side to Seaside." There's also solo material from the 1980s and '90s; covers of such classics as "Poison Ivy" and "Mr. Sandman"; and her final recording, a collaboration with Paul McCartney and son James called "The Light Comes From Within." Wide Prairie will be reissued in two vinyl configurations: standard black vinyl and web store-exclusive color vinyl. You can find out more about Wide Prairie here!

Recorded on a stop in Ontario, the new 2-CD concert Across A Crowded Room: Live At Barrymore's 1985 sees Richard Thompson and his backing group (including Any Trouble leader Clive Gregson and his creative partner Christine Collister, alongside Fotheringay/Pentangle/Cat Stevens drummer Gerry Conway, and bassist Rory McFarlane) performing in support of the studio album of the same name. Much of the performance was released decades ago on LaserDisc with a total of 18 songs, but Real Gone's new collection features all 20 songs performed at the gig - a fitting presentation for its first official CD release! The set was produced by Bill Levenson, with music mastered by Tom Lewis at Studio 1093 in Athens, GA. It's supplemented by liner notes from Scott Schinder and a wealth of contemporaneous photos that contextualize the magical performance. Get all the details about this historic album here!

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.

    Does anyone know why Amazon won't have the CCR Woodstock CD in stock until August 30th? The vinyl seems to have come in as scheduled.
