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. There's much to cover: digital box sets, anniversary editions, new  remixes, old stand-up comedy - and a quartet of memorials to musicians and more.

Neil Young, Neil Young Archives Vol. III (1976-1987) (Reprise) (Apple / Amazon)

One of the biggest box sets of last year is now available in a slightly more compact form. The digital release of Archives Vol. III includes nearly 200 tracks, 121 of which are unreleased. Thanks to reader JG for pointing this out to us!

Sugar, "House of Dead Memories" (Granary/BMG) (Apple / Amazon)

When we noted the delivery of several singles from Sugar's 1992 classic Copper Blue two weeks ago, we could never have guessed that alt-rock hero Bob Mould was set to reunite with bassist David Barbe and drummer Malcolm Travis for shows in 2026 (four announced thus far, split between New York City and London). Even more shocking: the trio have put out "House of Dead Memories," their first new song in more than three decades. Given Mould's penchant for songcraft, it's not a surprise that "House" is so sturdy; in fact, we frankly wish it was longer! (Here's a great piece at Rolling Stone with insight from Mould as to how the reunion came to pass.)

John Williams, JAWS (Music from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - 2025 Mix) (Geffen/UMe) (Apple / Amazon)

Just when you thought it was safe to...well, you know. Part of JAWS' 50th anniversary celebration involved a stellar new revisiting of John Williams' Oscar-winning score and Grammy-winning soundtrack recording by Mike Matessino, who remixed the latter from newly-discovered multi-track sources. Already available on vinyl from UMe and part of a 3CD set from Intrada, that new mix is now surfacing on digital music outlets (though you really should check out Intrada's presentation, which includes some incredible outtakes from those album sessions).

Peggy Lee, Mirrors (Expanded Edition) (A&M/UMe) (Apple / Amazon)

UMe marks 50 years of Peggy Lee's spellbinding Mirrors with an expanded edition that encompasses the entirety of her recordings for A&M Records. Mirrors was produced and written by the legendary team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller at a time when their music was venturing into art song territory. (A number of the songs were actually written for unproduced musicals.) Lee's voice - alternately playful, haunting, dramatic, and sensual - was ideally matched to the original album's 10 songs comprising stories (always a Leiber & Stoller specialty) and character studies alike. This digital-only expansion adds the two bonuses first released on 2005's Hip-o Select release Peggy Lee Sings Leiber and Stoller ("Don Juan," "I Ain't Here") and premieres five more varied tracks from the team (including a disco-flavored reworking of "Love Me or Leave Me") from the exploratory sessions which occurred before the trio settled on the conceptual Mirrors. (These sessions focused on freshly reimagined versions of classic songs by Leiber & Stoller and others.) Mike Stoller's son Peter has written new track-by-track liner notes, which can be viewed at Miss Lee's official website.

Fall Out Boy, From Under the Cork Tree (20th Anniversary Deluxe) (Island/UMe) (Apple / Amazon)

Fall Out Boy's sophomore album shifted the landscape of mainstream rock, propelling the Chicago emo-inspired quartet into the upper echelon of pop with defining songs like "Sugar, We're Goin Down," "Dance, Dance" and "A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More 'Touch Me'." Now it's been expanded with a host of rare and unreleased tracks that are also available on a 2CD or 3LP edition that, as far as we can tell, isn't available on Amazon.

Carly Rae Jepsen, E•MO•TION (10th Anniversary Edition) (Schoolboy/Interscope/UMe) (Apple / Amazon)

Better than receiving a sword? A new reissue commemorating a decade of CRJ's best album (and one of the best pop LPs in recent memory). It includes all the tracks from previous deluxe editions (including the non-album favorite "Cut to the Feeling"), two new remixes and three unreleased tracks from the album sessions. (A double vinyl version is also available, though a 2CD adding the previously released outtakes from the E•MO•TION Side B project - released on disc only in Japan - would've been that much sweeter.)

Split Enz, "Sweet Dreams" (Eddie Rayner Remix) (Chrysalis) (Apple / Amazon)

The new box set ENZcyclopedia Volumes One and Two, due November 7, chronicles the earliest albums of the cult favorite New Zealand band (when its frontmen were Phil Judd and Tim Finn, and years before Tim's little brother Neil, future founder of Crowded House, was involved with the project). This material is, in some ways, obscurer than most of the pop perfection the Finns are typically associated with, but "Sweet Dreams," from the band's sophomore release Second Thoughts, is a terrific bridge between those worlds, even getting an informal run-through last year at the . Second Thoughts has been newly remixed for the box by future Enz keyboardist Eddie Rayner, and his mix of "Sweet Dreams" is now available as a single.

HAIM, I quit (deluxe) (Columbia) (Apple / Amazon)

The sisterly rock trio's fourth album, released earlier this summer, is back out with three new tracks including "Tie You Down," a collaboration with Justin Vernon as indie-folk act Bon Iver.

Britney Spears, Femme Fatale (Deluxe Version) (Jive) (Apple / Amazon)

Britney's seventh album is one of her finest late-period works, offering sharp dance cuts like "Hold It Against Me," "Till the World Ends" and "I Wanna Go" - all of which became Top 10 hits in America (with "Hold" topping the chart). Most of this deluxe edition was released physically when the album dropped in 2011, except for "Scary," a digital debut that was first released on Japanese pressings.

Emo Philips, Emo (Goat Song) (Apple / Amazon)

Emo Philips is one of the most uproarious comics ever - an unassuming, wide-eyed man with a distinctive falsetto and a striking bob haircut, capable of the most sly did-he-just-say-that? punchlines in the whole stand-up genre - free of profanity but never of shock value. The comedy label Goat Song has resurrected his most recent stand-up album, 2001's Emo, issued at an unusual time when the comic had changed up his look, but not his style. If you need a laugh, you'll want to check this out.

Modern Mandolin Quintet, Modern Mandolin Quintet (Windham Hill) (Apple / Amazon)

Connected to the digital music world by our friends at SuperVisible Multi Media, the debut album by the Modern Mandolin Quartet blended chamber music with a little bit of Americana, translating pieces by Beethoven, Bartok, Debussy and Stravinsky into new arrangements for two mandolins, mandola and mandocello - an intriguing formula that would result in four MMQ albums for the legendary easy listening label Windham Hill.

Pirates! The Penzance Musical (Center Stage Records) (Apple / Amazon)

Rupert Holmes' delightfully witty and joyful adaptation of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance - reset to New Orleans with all of the jazz flavor that implies - comes to digital formats today, with a CD edition to follow on November 14. The cast album of the Tony Award-nominated production (the 27th Broadway outing for The Pirates of Penzance since its premiere in 1879 and first since 1982) stars Ramin Karimloo as The Pirate King, David Hyde Pierce as (the very model of a modern) Major General Stanley, Jinkx Monsoon as Ruth, Samantha Williams as Mabel, and Nicholas Barasch as Frederic.​ The new orchestrations are by Joseph Joubert and Daryl Waters.

Finally, Mike memorializes some of the shocking and tragic passings that occurred in the music and entertainment world this week.

Perhaps it was the height of record company hubris for the four original members of KISS to release solo albums simultaneously in 1978. But if nothing else, it gave us one of the most satisfying pop/rock tracks of the latter half of the decade: a cover of British glam act Hello's "New York Groove," penned by Russ Ballard of Argent but performed to swaggering perfection by KISS' guitarist, Ace Frehley, who passed away on Thursday at the age of 74 after complications from a fall sustained at his home studio. It was a rare turn in the spotlight for the Spaceman, who was not known for his vocal or songwriting contributions to the group's early records (other than penning the live favorite "Cold Gin"). However, Frehley's unique lead lines and unorthodox style (developed from no formal training) were front and center in a group that elevated rock and roll camp to a new artistic plateau and inspired countless kids to understand the power of the genre. So, while his tenure only stretched to the first nine studio albums of the band's (and the 1998 reunion Psycho Circus), Frehley's placement as an original general in the KISS Army earns him full rock honors.

Though he distanced himself from the term throughout his career, D'Angelo was considered an architect of the neo-soul movement. Perhaps a better framing, as he saw it, was "black music," enriching his roots in blues, soul, funk and hip-hop traditions throughout his career to create a short but striking body of work that felt like nothing that came before or since in R&B, with the possible exception of Prince, whom he idolized. Any of his three albums - 1995's soulful debut Brown Sugar and its Top 10 hit "Lady," the looser, abstract funk of 2000's Voodoo including the unforgettable "Untitled (How Does It Feel)," or the transformative comeback Black Messiah (2014), featuring a political bent and an artistic journey that found the singer competently learn guitar - would be masterpieces on their own. And coming from considerable hardships - including the pressures of following up his works, maintaining the physique that made him an unwilling sex symbol, and an ultimately triumphant battle with alcohol abuse - made his every victory that much sweeter. His death at 51 from pancreatic cancer is a stunning blow for black music, breaking the hearts of fans who would have waited as long as it took for one more album that was uniquely his.

Few could influence the visual language of cinema without ever stepping on either side of a camera. The exception to the rule: artist Drew Struzan, a celebrated poster artist known for striking, humane illustrations that graced posters for films in series like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, The Muppets and more. Struzan, who died this week after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's disease, was arguably the spark for many moviegoers who'd become galvanized by a generation of blockbusters by Spielberg, Lucas and friends - and many of those posters he designed would become album artwork, which happened to be an area he excelled in as well, painting the cover of Alice Cooper's Welcome to My Nightmare as well as the graphic that appeared on Earth, Wind & Fire's Open Our Eyes. (Several of Struzan's works are on public display at Galactic Gallery outside Dallas, TX, which will be open to the public today without appointments from 10 AM to 3 PM local time, allowing fans to see some of his original works and even sign a memory book for his family.)

Finally, if you're in the New Jersey-New York area and are looking to add to your collection for a good cause, here's a note for you: Rich Russo, a nationally-broadcast radio DJ, will host a pair of pop-up CD and LP sales aiming to raise money for the families of Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas, two Cranford, NJ teens who were killed in a hit-and-run earlier this month. They'll take place at 109 North Union Avenue in Cranford, today (October 18) from 10 AM to 4 PM and Sunday (October 19) from 2 PM to 5 PM. All proceeds will go directly to the families by way of nonprofit Cranford Family Care, who are also accepting direct donations.
