The Weekend Stream: September 21, 2024

September 21, 2024 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

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. Some socially minded rock is on the digital docket, as well as more than a dozen releases from one of England's best-known frontmen.

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, The Live Series: Songs of Conscience (Columbia/Legacy) (iTunes / Amazon)

Who but The Boss to offer a selection conscientious tunes with a whole new spin? These tracks are, as on all Live Series releases, sourced from multi-track recordings of shows from the Thrill Hill archive, made available on Nugs.net. You'll hear versions of "Born in the U.S.A.," "The Rising," "American Skin (41 Shots)," and "The Ghost of Tom Joad," plus covers of Woody Guthrie ("This Land is Your Land") and the Steven Van Zandt-penned protest tune "Sun City."

Bryan Ferry, A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall / The 'In' Crowd / Smoke Gets in Your Eyes / You Go to My Head / Let's Stick Together / Extended Play / This is Tomorrow / Tokyo Joe / What Goes On / Sign of the Times / Slave to Love / Don't Stop the Dance / Is Your Love Strong Enough? / Windswept / Retrospective: Star / Retrospective: She Belongs to Me EPs (Virgin/BMG Rights Management)

Wow! As BMG prepares for the release of a new career-spanning Bryan Ferry box set, at least 16 digital singles and EPs - both recreations of original releases from the '70s and '80s (with plenty of B-sides being available digitally for the first time) as well as two mini-teasers from the box itself - have been made available since this July. Thanks to reader John Cunningham for pointing these out to us!

R.E.M., We Are Hope Despite the Times (Craft Recordings) (iTunes / Amazon)

Launched on September 17 - National Voter Registration Day, Constitution Day, and Citizenship Day - this 18-track collection of previously-released cuts from the alt-rock legends aims to inspire fans and audiences to "stay informed, engaged, and vote during this critical election season."

Daryl Hall, Wildfire (Epic) (iTunes / Amazon)

Another digital EP from Hall's 1993 album Soul Alone! These two remixes of "Wildfire" were commissioned and released exclusively for U.K. audiences.

Mike Duquette

Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.
