Dwight Twilley, Scuba Divers: Blueprint Edition (Iconoclassic) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

The road to Dwight Twilley's second album, 1982's Scuba Divers, was a long one.  Now, Iconoclassic Records is expanding that 10-track album with a whopping 15 bonus tracks (11 of which are previously unreleased) chronicling the arduous journey to Scuba Divers that began as the sessions for an album called Blueprint.  Vic Anesini has remastered all audio from the master tapes, Howie Edelson and reissue compiler/producer Jeremy Holiday provide the new liner notes, and Zox has supplied previously unpublished photos from the sessions for both Scuba Divers and Blueprint.  Read more here.

Steely Dan, Katy Lied (Geffen/UMe) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

Steely Dan's fourth album, 1975's Katy Lied, returns to vinyl for the first time in decades as part of UMe's ongoing reissue series.  Produced by Gary Katz, Katy Lied features Walter Becker and Donald Fagen joined by such guests as Hal Blaine (who played on "Any World (That I'm Welcome To)"), Jeff Porcaro, Larry Carlton, David Paich, Michael Omartian, Victor Feldman, Rick Derringer, and Michael McDonald (who made his first appearance here on a Dan record).  With "Any World," "Bad Sneakers," "Chain Lightning," "Black Friday," and "Doctor Wu" among its highlights, Katy Lied remains a key album in the small but potent Steely Dan catalogue as Becker and Fagen's first album after leaving the road to concentrate on studio projects.  It's been remastered by Bernie Grundman and is pressed on 180-gram vinyl.  Analogue Productions is also offering the album on UHQR audiophile vinyl and (eventually) on hybrid stereo SACD.

The English Beat, Special Beat Service (Rhino) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

The (English) Beat's third album, Special Beat Service, gets a fresh remaster in this expanded edition.  Nine studio and live bonus tracks have been appended here, echoing the 2-LP edition released for Record Store Day Black Friday 2024.

Loudon Wainwright III, Loudon Live in London (Last Music Company) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

Rumer, In Session (Rumer) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)
