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. It's another week of Duran Duran EPs, plus expanded albums by Cher and Neil Diamond, some hip-hop oddities and a new live set from one of our favorite indie bands. It's all happening here!

Duran Duran, Union of the Snake / New Moon on Monday / The Reflex / The Wild Boys EPs (Parlophone)

Union: iTunes / Amazon
New Moon: iTunes / Amazon
The Reflex: iTunes / Amazon
The Wild Boys: iTunes / Amazon

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees' digital rollout ahead of the physical reissue of their '80s discography continues with three singles from Seven and the Ragged Tiger (plus "The Wild Boys," a studio extra from the 1984 live album Arena), featuring B-sides and remixes aplenty.

Cher, Living Proof (Deluxe Edition) / Closer to the Truth (Super Deluxe Edition) (Warner Music U.K.)

Living Proof: iTunes / Amazon
Closer to the Truth: iTunes / Amazon

What's Pride Month without some Cher to close it out? Her 2001 and 2013 albums were just released on vinyl by Rhino, and two digital expanded editions complement those physical releases. Living Proof features the anthemic "Song for the Lonely" and two tracks included on ex-U.S. pressings of the album, while Closer to the Truth features four bonus tracks: three from the physical deluxe edition (including "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me," from her co-starring role in Burlesque) and one from an edition released only at Target stores in America.

Neil Diamond, 12 Songs (Deluxe Edition) (UMe) (iTunes / Amazon)

Here's a release that'll make you say "hell yeah"! The enduring troubadour released one of his greatest albums with 2005's 12 Songs, an engaging collection of original material produced by Rick Rubin and featuring a galaxy of beloved sidemen, including Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, keyboardist Billy Preston (in his final studio session) and even a vocal cameo from Brian Wilson. But the album's sensational debut (a then-career best debut at No. 4, his first Top 10 in over a decade) was marred when it was discovered that Columbia had installed a controversial copy-protection software on the disc, prompting a recall. (Diamond would release more successful albums with Rubin, but it was little surprise when he took his catalog away from Sony Music years after the debacle.) But now, the album's been restored digitally, complete with the rare "Artist's Cut" bonus disc of alternate and rough versions.

U2, Sweetest Thing EP (Island/UMC) (iTunes / Amazon)

U2's latest archival EP is tied to the sole "new" track from 1998's The Best of 1980-1990, a remixed and re-recorded version of the Joshua Tree-era B-side "Sweetest Thing." It's backed with a bunch of vintage live cuts from the band's early years, many of which were already available on deluxe titles.

Shaquille O'Neal, You Can't Stop the Reign (Jersey Legends) (iTunes / Amazon)

One of the more head-turning digital catalog drops of the week: the third album by the towering NBA legend and occasional rapper. Reign, released in 1996, was one of his most star-studded efforts, featuring guest spots by Bobby Brown, Mobb Deep and The Notorious B.I.G. (whose verse here was reused by Michael Jackson on 2001's Invincible, the last album he issued in his lifetime). But the headline here is deep cut "No Love Lost," which has been remixed here to include both guest appearances from then-ascendant New York rapper Jay Z and an unheard verse from Nas, who was well established in the genre at the time. Famously, a blazing musical feud would escalate between the pair over the years, culminating with Jay's blistering "Takeover" in 2001 and Nas' jaw-dropping response "Ether" a year later; the duo later reconciled in 2005 at an historic concert.

James, 1999 Singles & B-Sides (Mercury/EMI) (iTunes / Amazon)

The latest digital collection from U.K. band James gathers the single sides from 1999's Millionaires, which featured production by Brian Eno.

The Cranberries, Linger (Iain Cook Remix) (Island/UMe) (iTunes / Amazon)

A mostly ground-up rework of the classic Cranberries ballad (retaining the iconic string swell at the end) by Iain Cook, a multi-instrumentalist and one-third of the Scottish synthpop band CHVRCHES.

Kenny Nolan, A Song Between Us (StarVista) (iTunes / Amazon)

The second LP from the "Lady Marmalade" co-writer, released in 1978, featured the tune "But Love Me," later a country hit for Janie Fricke. Inspired by the lush pop styles of Eric Carmen and Barry Manilow (and featuring a murderer's row of session players, including three members of the classic Toto lineup), this digital release follows the belated digital reissue of Nolan's self-titled debut, which featured the hit "I Like Dreamin'."

MUNA, Live At The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles (Saddest Factory) (iTunes / Amazon)

In 2023, a decade after they first formed, pop/rock trio MUNA were having a pretty great year. After two well-liked but underperforming albums on RCA, the band finally scored some success on the charts with their third, self-titled, independently released album. The tide rose even further when, after successful slots opening for The 1975 and Kacey Musgraves, they were tapped to open legs for Lorde's latest live trek, then the omnipresent Eras Tour by Taylor Swift. When the dust settled, they came back home for a two-night run at L.A.'s Greek Theatre that featured songs from all their albums and a surprise appearance by the members of rock supergroup Boygenius (whose co-founder Phoebe Bridgers also heads MUNA's current label). This live release chronicles just about every song played at those two shows - a snapshot of a band you really should check out.
