Mary Wilson, The Motown Anthology (Motown/UMe) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

The Motown Anthology is the ultimate retrospective of Mary Wilson, multi-hyphenate talent: singer, activist, author, fashion icon, actress, mother, grandmother, friend, trailblazer, legend, Supreme.  This first-ever comprehensive overview of Wilson's Motown discography presents 38 songs, including a whopping 33 tracks only available physically on this collection including stunning new mixes of Supremes favorites, four Supremes outtakes produced by Deke Richards, the complete 1979 Mary Wilson album, Mary's session with producer Gus Dudgeon (Elton John, David Bowie), and much more.  The Motown Anthology has been produced by the team of Andrew Skurow, George Solomon, and TSD's Joe Marchese (The Supremes' The Ultimate Merry Christmas, Diana Ross and The Supremes Sing and Perform 'Funny Girl': The Ultimate Edition, all from Real Gone Music and Second Disc Records).  It's been mixed and mastered by Kevin Reeves (Bobby Darin's Go Ahead & Back Up: The Lost Motown Masters, Blinky's Heart Full of Soul: The Motown Anthology).  Its 44-page booklet, beautifully designed by John Sellards, is stuffed with rare and previously unpublished color photos plus new liner notes from Marchese, Skurow, and best-selling author Mark Bego (Mary Wilson's Supreme Glamour, Eat Like a Rock Star).  It's housed in a six-panel digipak in the tradition of past Supremes expanded editions.  The booklet also features exclusive tributes to Mary from such luminaries as Sir Paul McCartney, Dionne Warwick, Darlene Love, Otis Williams, Duke Fakir, Martha Reeves, Claudette Robinson, Brian and Edward Holland, Rita Coolidge, Merry Clayton, Brenda Russell, Blinky Williams, Jackie DeShannon, and RuPaul (just to name a few).  Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton has penned a special appreciation, as well, for this ultimate celebration of Supreme legend Mary Wilson from the Real Gone/Second Disc team.  Available on CD and digital/streaming now from Motown/UMe.

The Troggs The Trogg Tapes

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

The Troggs, The Trogg Tapes (Liberation Hall) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

1976's The Trogg Tapes showed that the band behind "Wild Thing," "With a Girl Like You," and "Love Is All Around" still had some steam left in them.  The seventies hadn't tamed The Troggs; the album from lead vocalist Reg Presley, bassist Tony Murray, guitarists Richard Moore and Colin Fletcher, and drummer Ronnie Bond, was a lean, rocking affair.  The album boasts taut, crunchy originals such as "Supergirl" and "Down South to Georgia," the lusty "Get You Tonight," storming "Gonna Make You," and covers of Rufus Thomas' "Walkin' the Dog" and Brendon Dunning's "Rock 'N' Roll Lady."  The ballad "After the Rain" even channeled a bit of a country sound.  A vinyl release of The Trogg Tapes will arrive from Liberation Hall later this year.  Also available in digital formats.

Kim Fowley In Deutschland

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Kim Fowley, In Deutschland (Liberation Hall) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

Los Angeles scenester Kim Fowley's raucous, irreverent live album In Deutschland was recorded on October 26, 1992, with Fowley accompanied by Flamin' Groovies singer-guitarist Chris Wilson. The show didn't exactly go as planned; the band hadn't been properly rehearsed, and mid-show, the concert organizer asked the audience if they wanted it to continue. Their response was a rather convincing "No!" but Fowley and his band nonetheless played on. Tracks 1-9 are all that exist of the concert; tracks 10-16 were recorded at a rehearsal. This album was previously released in 1993 on Fowley's own Marilyn Records. A new vinyl release via Liberation Hall will follow later in 2022.  Also available digitally.  Read more about both Liberation Hall titles here.

Marianne Faithfull Vagabond Ways

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Marianne Faithfull, Vagabond Ways (BMG) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

The chanteuse's 1999 album produced by Daniel Lanois and Mark Howard is reissued by BMG in an expanded edition adding four previously unreleased demos and the never-before-heard studio outtake "Drifting" as well as new liner notes.  Vagabond Ways features songs by Leonard Cohen ("Tower of Song") and Roger Waters ("Incarceration of a Flower Child") as well as a song written for Marianne by Elton John and Bernie Taupin ("For Wanting You").  The reissue also reinstates Bob Dylan's "Blood in My Eyes," originally released as a Japan-only bonus track.  Available on CD, heavyweight vinyl, and digitally.

Dolly Parton Run Rose Run
