Dan Hartman, It Hurts to Be in Love (Iconoclassic) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

Today, Dan Hartman would have turned 73.  Sadly, the singer-songwriter-producer-musician-engineer's life was cut short by an AIDS-related brain tumor on March 22, 1994.  He was just 43.  The immense musical legacy of the "I Can Dream About You" hitmaker hasn't been forgotten, though.  Iconoclassic Records has brought his 1981 solo album It Hurts to Be in Love to CD for the very first time.  This expanded edition adds a pair of rare outtakes from the album sessions; "Rejection" and "Go-Go" make their CD debuts, having only previously appeared on a rare vinyl publishing sampler.  Vic Anesini has beautifully remastered the audio from the original master tapes, while TSD's Joe Marchese provides new liner notes in the booklet designed by Chris Eselgroth.  Read more here!

Neil Young, Before and After (Neil Young/NYA) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

Neil Young has teamed with legendary producer Lou Adler (The Mamas and The Papas, Carole King's Tapestry, The Rocky Horror Picture Show) for an album unlike any other he's recorded.  Before and After features Young revisiting some of the lesser-known gems in his discography, arranging them into a 48-minute suite meant to played continuously.  The sequence is career-spanning, from his first Buffalo Springfield appearance "Burned" through "Don't Forget Love" from 2021's Barn.  One previously unreleased song, "If You Got Love," debuts.  The album will be available in four formats: vinyl LP; clear vinyl LP (available only from independent record stores and Young's Greedy Hand online store), Blu-ray Disc featuring Dolby Atmos mix, binaural mix, and Hi-Res 96/24 stereo; and CD.  As always, Hi-Res digital audio is available at Xstream download store through Neil Young Archives and other providers.

Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends: A Celebration (First Night/Arts Music) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

Bernadette Peters is currently leading the cast of Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends at London's Gielgud Theatre, an extraordinary, joyful, and moving tribute to the late composer-lyricist's enormous musical legacy. The springboard for the production was an all-star tribute concert (also led by Peters and featuring stars of the current company including Bonnie Langford, Janie Dee, and Jeremy Secomb) staged last May at the West End's Sondheim Theatre.  Now, that original concert comes to this 2CD set, and in addition to Bernadette, it features such A-listers as Judi Dench, Petula Clark, Imelda Staunton, Maria Friedman, and Michael Ball with a full orchestra performing the master's classic songs.
