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! A new charity cover from Def Leppard, reissues of classic albums by Simple Minds and Sheena Easton, and a mess of vintage jazz is on the menu today - plus a heads-up for a forthcoming way to help the ongoing California wildfire relief effort.

Def Leppard, Stand by Me (Bludgeon Riffola/Mercury/UMe) (iTunes / Amazon)

While also a single from the new Netflix film Bank of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger - based on the work of British businessman and financial activist Dave Fishwick, in which the group make an appearance - Def Leppard's cover of Ben E. King's "Stand by Me" is notable for another reason: the band is donating all proceeds from the track to FireAid, who this week put on a two-venue all-star benefit concert to raise money for those affected by the California wildfires.

Simple Minds, Once Upon a Time (Ruby Anniversary Edition) (Virgin/UMC) (iTunes / Amazon)

The Scottish pop/rockers announced their biggest U.S. tour in years this week, appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote it. And while fans can expect more catalogue activity related to the already-reissued Once Upon a Time in honor of its 40th anniversary this year, a "Ruby Anniversary Edition" surreptitiously snuck onto digital music channels this week, splitting the two sides of the album (featuring "Alive and Kicking" and "All the Things She Said") with the group's most popular track from '85: the chart-topping "Don't You (Forget About Me)," from John Hughes' teen classic The Breakfast Club.

Sheena Easton, A Private Heaven (Ultimate Edition) (RT Industries) (iTunes / Amazon)

Originally expanded by Cherry Red in 2022 - with bonus material that was meted out on digital EPs last year - Sheena Easton's celebrated 1984 album, featuring the hits "Strut" and "Sugar Walls" (a controversial track written and performed by Prince), gets a new digital deluxe edition. A 3CD equivalent, it's got all the material from the physical 2CD edition plus four remixes and rarities: a TV mix of "Sugar Walls," single versions of "Strut" and "Hungry Eyes," and an alternate version of outtake "Have You Ever Been in Love" that was included on a 2LP vinyl edition last year. Thanks to reader Dana for pointing this one out!

Gretchen Cryer & Gracie Hyland, House on Fire: A New Musical (Highlights) (Precious Days)

This new recording from Cryer (co-creator of musicals including Shelter and I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road, and the mother of actor Jon) and singer-songwriter Hyland is "a cautionary fairy tale musical" about a teen torn between her desire for environmental justice and the love of her father, owner of the world's biggest fossil fuel corporation. The duo and a full cast and band (including the album's producer/music director, Jody Shelton) will perform these songs at a live event at Manhattan's Green Room 42 on February 4 (which can also be livestreamed).

There's even more where that came from! Check out some other great releases below.

Finally: Head to Bandcamp next week to contribute to wildfire relief. The indie-friendly music storefront will restart some Bandcamp Friday action in 2025. Next Friday, February 7, they'll donate their entire share of revenue from sales made that day from midnight to midnight (Pacific time) to MusiCares' relief fund. Then on the first Fridays of March, May, August, September, October and December, they'll cede that share fully to artists and labels, as they've been doing since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
