In conjunction with the new documentary film Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song, Legacy has offered this new collection from the late troubadour.  Already available digitally, Hallelujah & Songs from His Albums, coming to CD and translucent blue double vinyl on October 14, is exactly what's advertised: a previously unreleased live version of that mystifying standard (recorded at the Glastonbury Festival in 2008), followed by 16 chronological selections from his songbook, from "Suzanne" - the very first song on his 1967 debut album - to the title tracks to 2016's You Want It Darker (released 17 days before Cohen's passing) and Thanks for the Dance, his final compositions issued in 2019. "Bird on the Wire," "Famous Blue Raincoat," "Who by Fire" and "I'm Your Man" are among the key selections here.
