Welcome to another edition of The Weekend Stream, The Second Disc's review of notable catalogue titles (and some new ones, too!) making digital debuts. Pop goddesses, rock gods, one classic crooner and remixes aplenty are what you'll find this week!

Mariah Carey, Rainbow (25th Anniversary Expanded Edition) (Columbia/Legacy) (iTunes / Amazon)

The Elusive Chanteuse's seventh album built upon its 1997 predecessor Butterfly, integrating hip-hop production flourishes into her R&B/adult contemporary style. "Heartbreaker," featuring a guest rap from Jay-Z, and "Thank God I Found You" a ballad sung with R&B singer Joe (and assistance from boy band 98 Degrees) became her 13th and 14th career No. 1 hits, and guests and collaborators on the album included Usher, Snoop Dogg, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, David Foster and others. This digital expansion is packed with B-sides and remixes including the newly-finished "Rainbow's End," an update of the album's titular interview reconstructed with producer David Morales.

Madonna, Papa Don't Preach / This Used to Be My Playground (Warner/Rhino)

Papa: iTunes / Amazon
Playground: iTunes / Amazon

To celebrate its new platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America earlier this week, Rhino has reissued the chart-topping "Papa Don't Preach," off Madonna's 1986 album True Blue, as a digital single, featuring the original 12" extended version and - for the first time digitally - the rare B-side "Ain't No Big Deal," recorded with producer Reggie Lucas for her debut album three years earlier. Additionally, the label has made available the digital EP to Madonna's 1992 chart-topper "This Used to Be My Playground," from the film A League of Their Own.

Def Leppard, Just Like '73 (Tom Morello Version) (Bludgeon Riffola/Mercury) (iTunes / Amazon)

Released ahead of their forthcoming tour, the new single "Just Like '73" calls to mind the British glam acts that Def Leppard both idolized and built upon in their esteemed career. The digital version features guest guitar work from Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine fame; an alternate band version will feature on a limited 7" release.

John Williams, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (Ultimate Edition) (Lucasfilm/Walt Disney) (iTunes)

Rather inexplicably, the "Ultimate Edition" of John Williams' score to the first Star Wars prequel from 1999 has been redelivered to digital services, having been taken down sometime in 2018, when Disney released remixed versions of the soundtrack albums to the six Star Wars films released between 1977 and 2005 that became standard releases. This double-disc set, originally issued in 2000, was marketed as featuring "every note" from The Phantom Menace, a marketing point that was technically true enough in that the music was presented exactly as featured in the film, with awkward edits and combined score cues aplenty. It didn't live up to fan expectations, and Sony Classical (custodians of the music to Star Wars at the time) mistook the soft sales for lack of interest; there have been no expansions of prequel-era material since. Whoops!

Barry Manilow, I'm Your Man (Stiletto) (iTunes / Amazon)

A minor hit from 1985's Manilow - the only studio album Barry recorded for RCA (and seemingly owned by him - ironic, considering that all his main studio albums for Arista, issued between 1973 and 1998, were all swallowed up with RCA in the same mergers that ultimately created what is Sony Music Entertainment as of 2009) - "I'm Your Man" was remixed for club play by the duo of Mark Berry and Raul A. Rodriguez. Now, those club and dub mixes, along with the original single edit, are digitally available.

The Young Rascals, Groovin' (Poolside Remix) (Rhino) (iTunes / Amazon)

The Rascals' 1967 chart-topper gets the chillwave treatment from L.A. duo Poolside.

U2, Mofo (Remixes) (Island/UMC) (iTunes / Amazon)

U2's digital B-sides campaign for 2024 has solely focused on singles from Pop, the last of which was "Mofo." It's a safe bet that whatever comes next will be from a different album, perhaps?

INXS, Guns in the Sky (Kookaburra Mix) (Petrol/Atlantic) (iTunes / Amazon)

And now, the second batch of All Juiced Up Part 2 is delivered. Keep it here to check out the contents of the last three 12"s when they're available!

Pat Boone, Hymns We Love (Expanded Edition) / Four by Pat (Expanded Edition) / Pat's Great Hits (Expanded Edition) / Pat Sings Irving Berlin (Expanded Edition) / Mardi Gras (Expanded Edition) (Dot/UMe)

Hymns: iTunes / Amazon
Four: iTunes / Amazon
Great Hits: iTunes / Amazon
Irving Berlin: iTunes / Amazon
Mardi Gras: iTunes / Amazon

On June 1, Pat Boone turned 90, and the smooth-voiced singer has hardly showed any signs of slowing down. To mark his landmark year, UMe is continuing to roll out expanded reissues of his many albums for the Dot label. This current batch includes 1957's Hymns We Love (an expression of the Christian faith that is a cornerstone of Boone's life and persona), the EP Four by Pat from the same year (which could now be called Ten by Pat), the classy standards set Sings Irving Berlin (also from 1957!), and the 1958 EP Mardi Gras, now with nine songs. While you're listening, you might want to check out "Pat Boone at 90: Six Things You Didn't Know About One of the Rock Era's Most Successful Artists" from Billboard veteran Fred Bronson. It's chockablock with great stories about Pat's ties to Superman, Elton John, Rosemary Clooney, and the Motown label!
