Gordon Lightfoot At Royal Albert Hall

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Gordon Lightfoot, At Royal Albert Hall (Linus (Canada)) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

And another Royal Albert Hall show: In the weeks before his passing, late Canadian troubadour Gordon Lightfoot approved the release of this May 24, 2016 concert at the famed venue.  The previously available 2CD set features such beloved Lightfoot standards as "Beautiful," "Early Morning Rain," "Sundown," "Carefree Highway," "If You Could Read My Mind," and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."  The 2LP vinyl edition arrives today, though Amazon appears to indicate it won't be in stock for another couple of weeks.

Cooking Vinyl celebrates the Scottish pop-rock group with two new packages.  The 14-CD box set You Can Have It All: The Complete Albums Collection brings together all of the band's studio LPs plus two B-sides and rarities compilations (1988's Riches, 1990's Ooh Las Vegas) and the new, stripped-down compendium of hits, live tracks, and cover versions, Peace Will Come. It totals 160 tracks spanning 36 years of Deacon Blue's career and contains a 24-page booklet.  A companion volume is All the Old 45s: The Very Best of Deacon Blue, with 41 tracks on 2 CDs and a 16-page booklet.

Franks Wild Years: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada

Tom Waits' first three Island albums reinvented the singer-songwriter as he moved away from largely traditional piano-based songwriting to explore unusual instrumentation, unconventional song forms, and an even more rough-hewn voice.  The 1983-1986 trilogy returns today from UMe on CD, with LP reissues to follow on September 22.  Swordfishtrombones has been remastered from the original 1/2-inch EQ'ed production tape; and Rain Dogs and Franks Wild Years from the original 1/2-inch flat masters.

    I am eagerly awaiting the Frampton cd. I was in London last November (to see Petula Clark in Mary Poppins on her 90th birthday!) I took the Royal Albert Hall tour which is not to be missed. Peter was appearing a few days after I was there...bad timing.

    Odd that a "Comes Alive" era picture of Frampton is used for a concert performed in 2022.

    Is the vinyl of the Waits reissues still happening? My local didn't get any and I can't find a listing on Amazon

      It appears that the vinyl reissues are now due on September 22, with Amazon links now reflecting that. Hope this helps!

    I am loving Peter Frampton at Royal Albert Hall. Peter's guitar work is unchanged and his voice has held up quite well! The rest of the band is up to the job.
    The packaging is atrocious! The only photo is that late 70's I'm In You era photo on the cover. Not one current photo! When playing the prestigious (and stunningly beautiful )Albert Hall, one would expect at least one onstage photo and an audience shot.
    The clip art looking London skyline is fine for an 8 year old's art project. Don't get me started on the daisy and the butterfly.
    The artwork and cover are inexcusable.
    Luckily, the music is superb.
