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. This week, there's new tracks from pop royalty (and rock court jesters), plus expansions and rarities from The 5th Dimension, The Alan Parsons Project, and a very exciting treat for fans of The New Christy Minstrels!

Stevie Wonder, "Can We Fix Our Nation's Broken Heart" (Republic) (iTunes / Amazon)

A gentle, unifying acoustic number from the 74-year-old Motown legend might be easy enough to dismiss as pap. But consider the source: Wonder came of age during the civil rights movement, spent a good point of the height of his commercial powers advocating for more recognition for civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., and has seen virtually every major soul and pop act in some way inspired by his work - Michael Jackson, George Michael, Prince - die at far younger ages than he is now. If he asks to fix anything, I'd say we'd better try to accommodate his requests.

Sting, "I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)" (A&M) (iTunes / Amazon)

The legendary ex-Police frontman delivers an intriguing blues-pop number (inspired by the infamous Bo Diddley beat) that features some of his grittiest vocals in some time. Sting's backing band on his current 3.0 tour - longtime guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas - back him up here, along with producer Martin Kierszenbaum on organ.

Blink-182, One More Time... Part-2 (Columbia) (iTunes / Amazon)

In 2023, pop-punk icons Blink-182 reformed their classic line-up - founding singer/bassist Mark Hoppus, longtime drummer Travis Barker, and returning singer/guitarist Tom DeLonge - for a surprisingly effective third go-round. (The trio went on an indefinite hiatus in 2004 and reunited in 2009, DeLonge left again in 2015 and was replaced by Alkaline Trio guitarist Matt Skiba.) The emotional and propulsive One More Time... - the title track of which notes that the group always gets back together after a tragedy (a fatal plane crash that injured Barker, Hoppus' battle with lymphoma) - became their third No. 1 album in America, and before their final tour dates of the year, the group has reissued the album with 10 additional tracks: two from a previous digital expansion, and eight brand-new cuts. This deluxe configuration will also be available on double vinyl and CD at the end of the year.

The 5th Dimension, Soul & Inspiration (Expanded Edition) (Bell/Legacy) (iTunes / Amazon)

The penultimate album from the original 5th Dimension - and their final album for Arista predecessor Bell Records - finally makes its long-overdue streaming debut this weekend, 50 years after its original year of release. Soul and Inspiration is a happily mixed bag with productions from the 5th's longest-running producer, Bones Howe, as well as John Florez, H.B. Barnum, Richard Cason, and the group members themselves. Their signature champagne soul sound enhances the Mann/Weil-penned title track and Eagles' chart-topping "Best of My Love," while they take on a grittier sound on such tracks as "Harlem" and "No Love in the Room." Marilyn McCoo is at her most moving on "House for Sale" while Florence LaRue gets one of her best solos with Tony Macaulay's silky "Somebody Warm Like Me." This expanded edition mirrors Collectors' Choice Music's 2016 reissue, with six outtakes including stellar versions of Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "As Long as There's an Apple Tree" and Paul Williams and Roger Nichols' "Out in the Country." Simply essential '70s soul (and inspiration)!

Daryl Hall, Stop Loving Me, Stop Loving You EP (Epic) (iTunes / Amazon)

The second single from 1993's Soul Alone - written by Hall and longtime partner Sara Allen and featuring an interpolation of Marvin Gaye's "When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You" from the infamous Here, My Dear - gets a super-sized digital EP featuring nine remixes and edits and a live version of album cut "Money Changes Everything."

The Alan Parsons Project, The Turn of a Friendly Card (Sessions) (Arista/Legacy) (iTunes / Amazon)

A two-hour collection of bonus material from The Alan Parsons Project's fifth album, issued in 1980. Includes all the bonus material - demos, outtakes and single versions - from previous deluxe editions, including a box set issued last year.

Hank Snow, Sings (Expanded Edition) (RCA/Legacy) (iTunes / Amazon)

A 1952 10" album from the country legend gets doubled in length with eight non-album sides from his early RCA Victor days.

The New Christy Minstrels, Live from Ledbetter's (The Complete Concert) (Columbia/Legacy) (iTunes / Amazon)

Finally, a really nice treat for fans of the bestselling, Grammy-winning large folk ensemble: a new deluxe edition of an unreleased live album recorded in the spring of 1964 at Ledbetter's, a Los Angeles club owned by Minstrels founder Randy Sparks. A shortened version of this material was released by Collector's Choice Music in 1999, but this 20-track collection is the definitive presentation of this work, offering three entirely unheard tracks: a live version of the Gershwin standard "Summertime" and two unissued studio recordings. Next week, The Second Disc will take fans into an even deeper dive on this terrific release!
