This 4CD/1BD slipcased box set chronicling the twelve months leading up to the December 1971 release of David Bowie's fourth studio album.  Highlighted by 48 previously unreleased tracks, the box features home demos, BBC radio sessions, live and studio recordings, and new mixes of Hunky Dory material by original co-producer Ken Scott.  The Blu-ray Audio Disc offers the original Hunky Dory LP in its 2015 remaster; twelve of the Divine Symmetry tracks; and the Bob Harris BBC broadcast, all in 96/24 PCM Stereo.  The 2016 mix of "Life on Mars?" is also offered in 5.1 DTS-MA surround.  Two books round out the package: a 100-page hardcover featuring liner notes, memorabilia, and photos, and a 60-page replica composite of Bowie's notebooks from the era with his handwritten lyrics, costume sketches, recording notes, and setlists.  A 12-track vinyl highlights edition will also be available.

Tina Turner Break Every Rule

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Tina Turner, Break Every Rule: Deluxe Edition (Parlophone)

3CD/2DVD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada
2CD (CD 1 & CD 2 Only): Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada
1LP: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada

Last year, Parlophone revisited Tina Turner's 1989 triumph Foreign Affair in a deluxe edition.  Now, the label is turning the clock back to 1986 for a similar presentation of the artist's Break Every Rule on 3 CDs and 2 DVDs. The box opens with the remastered original album.  The second disc offers a selection of 10 B-sides, remixes, and live tracks (though roughly twice that many associated tracks were released contemporaneously with the album).  The third CD presents Turner's Guinness World Record-earning concert in front of over 180,000 fans at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  This landmark show is also presented in video format (as first released on home video in 1988) on the first DVD; the second contains the album's music videos (newly upgraded to HD) and a second concert, from London's Camden Palace, which was also issued on VHS.  The remastered Break Every Rule will also be issued on black vinyl and as a 2CD expanded edition; the latter format mirrors the first two CDs of the box set (dropping the Rio concert and the DVDs).

The Cure Wish 30th

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

The Cure, Wish: 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition (Rhino (U.S.) / UMC (U.K.)) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

The Cure hit their commercial stride with 1992's Wish.  The band's ninth studio album and highest-charting in both the U.S. and U.K., it tapped into the burgeoning alt-rock movement while retaining the gothic sound on which The Cure made their name.  Now, fans' Wishes are coming true with this 30th anniversary expansion on 3 CDs.   Curated by Robert Smith, the set includes 24 previously unreleased tracks and a further four which are new to CD/digital. Read more here.

Flaming Lips Yoshimi 20th Packshot

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

The Flaming Lips, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots: 20th Anniversary Edition (Warner)

6CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada
5LP: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada

The Flaming Lips' Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots was the band's tenth album and perhaps their most successful, earning their only U.S. Gold record to date as well as a Platinum certification from the U.K.'s BPI.  A loose concept album incorporating electronica, rock, pop, psychedelia, and hip-hop textures, Yoshimi saw the band continuing its inventive path while embracing accessibility.  The album even inspired a stage musical in 2012, and now, its 20th anniversary is being celebrated with a deluxe box set.  The 6-CD box boasts a generous 100 tracks (over 50 previously unreleased); on April 14, 2023, a 5-LP vinyl box will follow with 56 songs (40 tracks previously unavailable on vinyl).

    Great sets, love the Jim Croce album, but I won't buy as I already have his Edsel complete album + set. However weren't two albums released in his lifetime? Life and times was released in Jan 73, before his untimely death later that same year. So only I got a name was released after his death.

      Sorry you were correct I misread your comments. Only one of the two recorded, after his first, were released in his lifetime.

    Too bad Warner Records screwed up the songwriting credits on the Tom Petty CD .

    Eight Miles High has 3 writers not 1.

    Louie Louie was not written by Richard Perry!

    Ouch!
