Release Round-Up: Week of January 27

January 27, 2023 By The Second Disc 5 Comments

Welcome to this week's Release Round-Up, featuring a selection of the new titles available today.

Bob Dylan Fragments Bootleg 17 Cover BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Bob Dylan, Fragments - Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997): The Bootleg Series Vol. 17 (Columbia/Legacy)

5CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada
10LP: Bob Dylan Store
2CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada
4LP: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada

The seventeenth volume of Bob Dylan's long-running Bootleg Series explores the creation of Dylan's thirtieth studio album.  Fragments: Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997) takes a deep dive into the three-time Grammy Award-winning album which was perceived by many as a comeback after a string of lackluster or uninspired LPs.  The collection will be available in 5CD and 10LP deluxe editions as well as 2CD and 4LP standard editions; digital versions of both presentations will also be released.  The first disc features a new remix of the album stripping away the effects and processing added by original producer Daniel Lanois.  The second and third discs present over two dozen previously unreleased outtakes and alternate versions, while the fourth disc has live material and the fifth reissues material first released on the Tell Tale Signs Bootleg volume.  Read more here.

Elvis On Tour Box BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Elvis Presley, Elvis on Tour: 50th Anniversary Edition (RCA/Legacy) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

After the huge success of director Baz Luhrmann's biopic Elvis, RCA Records and Legacy Recordings are celebrating 50 years of an earlier film: Elvis on Tour, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's dynamic 1972 concert film/documentary capturing the artist during his exciting rebirth as a live performer.  The new box set offers six CDs of concerts and rehearsals, all freshly mixed by Matt Ross-Spang, plus a Blu-ray of the original MGM film. The Elvis on Tour box set has been produced by Ernest Mikael Jorgensen and includes new liner notes by Presley's longtime friend Jerry Schilling as well as an essay from Warren Zanes of The Del Fuegos. As an official soundtrack album for Elvis on Tour was never issued at the time of the movie's original release, the box promises to fill in a major gap in the Presley discography.  Get more details here.

Marianne Faithfull, Kissin' Time: Expanded Edition (BMG) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

BMG reissues and expands Marianne Faithfull's 16th studio album, 2003's Kissin' Time.  With collaborations from Blur, Beck, Billy Corgan, Dave Stewart, and others, the album placed the chanteuse's vocals in a contemporary light.  She co-wrote most of the tracks, and even nodded at her early days with a cover of Carole King and Gerry Goffin's "I'm Into Something Good."  This edition adds seven bonus tracks, some of which are previously unreleased.  The original album is also available on 180-gram vinyl.

    I wasn't familiar with Eric Hoffman. I just listened to a few songs and was impressed enough to order the cd. Alas, mp3 only on Amazon.
    I have never understood mp3. If you can stream for free, why purchase it? At least with a cd, you have a physical product...and perhaps, liner notes and a photo or 2.
    Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most was gorgeous. Hopefully a cd will be available soon.

      You can buy CD quality downloads from Qobuz.com online. I've been using their service for a couple of years now, and I am quite satisfied with the quality of the sound. Prices are reasonable, selection is very good, and the staff is quick to respond to any difficulties I might encounter.

    You forgot something...the 4th album (first indie/self-released) by Kiwi eccentric Kimbra, called "A Reckoning"...think a Kiwi Bjork...she first got known as the duet partner on Gotye's #1 single "Somebody That I Used To Know", but her own career & catalogue (this & 3 Warner albums prior) is more interesting & exciting...in my opinion...great live performer too...
