We've already told you about most of Real Gone's March slate of titles, including Johnny Mathis and Oak Ridge Boys titles from our Second Disc Records imprint. Now, word has come out about the final two items on Real Gone's March 2 list: a pair of vinyl reissues in the rocksteady style. Rocksteady is a genre created in Jamaica that rose out of ska and served as a precursor to reggae in the mid to late 1960s. It is characterized by offbeat rhythms with a particular drumming style and slower

Love Has Called: A Look At Cherry Red's Expanded B.A. Robertson Asylum Albums
Brian Alexander Robertson, a.k.a. B.A. Robertson, has just about done it all in a career spanning five decades. The Scottish-born talent has written an international best-selling, Ivor Novello Award-winning hit ("The Living Years" for Mike + The Mechanics), scored hit singles under his own name ("Bang Bang," "Knocked It Off"), written with Burt Bacharach and Cliff Richard, and reinvented classic Disney songs with artists ranging from Billy Joel to LL Cool J. Last year, Cherry Red brought
Top of the World: Real Gone's February Slate Includes Ronnie Lane and Ron Wood, Grateful Dead and "Last of the Mohicans" Soundtrack
After the rush of the holiday season and the New Year, we now settle into the winter months, but that still doesn't mean that there isn't a lot of music to talk about. Today, we've got new of some of Real Gone's titles hitting just under a month from now on February 2. First up is a CD reissue of an obscure title featuring two members of the Faces: Mahoney's Last Stand - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Ronnie Lane and Ron Wood.

I Hear a Rhapsody: "Motown Unreleased: 1967" Features Marvin Gaye, Four Tops, Temptations, Mynah Birds
As has become a yearly tradition for the past several years, Motown released a "copyright extension" compilation of previously unreleased tracks at the very end of 2017, only a couple of weeks after last year's similar set got a physical release. Motown Unreleased: 1967 gathers 89 tracks across the equivalent of 4 CDs, all previously unheard treasures from the seemingly inexhaustible Motown vaults. Like the collections of the past couple of years, there is a wide range of Motown talent on
No Time To Lose: Music Pioneer Ralph Peer Celebrated with Box Featuring Bing, Desi, Buddy, Ray, Elvis, Bob, Nat and Others
The history of commercial recorded music stretches back over 100 years and has encompasses the stories of many artists and talents. One of the biggest figures in this early history was Ralph S. Peer. The A&R (Artists and Repertoire) and publishing pioneer might not be a household name today, but he made major contributions to many varied musical genres including blues, country and Latin. Sony Music Latin has recently released a wide-ranging, eclectic 3-CD box set entitled The Roots of
Holding On Forever: Bonnie Tyler Rarities Collected on 2-CD Set from Cherry Red
If you look at Bonnie Tyler's discography online, you will discover that the Welsh-born, husky-voiced singer has over 150 compilations chronicling her music. Cherry Red imprint Cherry Pop has recently added to this number with the 2-CD Remixes and Rarities, covering her recording career from 1979-1994. What makes this one different from most of the other compilations is that it focuses on hard-to-find tracks which were only released on foreign issues, are non-LP sides, or have been long
More "Sunshine Tomorrow": Beach Boys Release Digital Compilations Celebrating 1967 Featuring 7 Concerts, Studio Rarities Including Unreleased Songs
Back in June, Capitol/UMe released 1967 - Sunshine Tomorrow, a 2-CD set looking at that year in Beach Boys history - a year in which they gave up on SMiLE, released two very different albums, and recorded a third. Sunshine Tomorrow featured the first true stereo mix of the album Wild Honey, studio tracks recorded for the abandoned "live" album Lei'd In Hawaii, and session outtakes from the Smiley Smile recording dates. In total, it premiered 54 previously unreleased tracks. But, as has often
The Lovelight Starts Shining: Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" 40th Anniversary Expanded Edition OUT TODAY!
What single sat atop the Billboard Hot 100 forty years ago this week? You might first guess it was perhaps something by the Bee Gees, who were in their own historical chart-run at this moment. But it was actually "You Light Up My Life" by Debby Boone, which was well on its way to becoming the No. 1 single of the entire 1970s. The record-smashing hit was also featured on an album of the same name, which became a platinum smash in its own right. Despite this success, the album has never
The Soulful Shack: "Motown Unreleased 1966" Box Set Comes to Limited Edition CD
Given the speed and frequency with which the Motown label made recordings during its heyday, the company's vaults are known to be vast. Large amounts of unreleased material have been added to compilations and reissues over the years, while still other collections have been solely devoted to never-before-heard tracks from the label's superstars. Due to European copyright laws that allow unused recordings to enter the public domain, Motown has been releasing digital-only copyright-extension

Fill Your Nights With Song: Real Gone Expands Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" for Its 40th Anniversary
Forty years ago this week, Meco's "Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band" was knocked from the top of the Billboard Hot 100 after a two-week run at the peak position. The new chart-topper would remain in that spot for an additional 9 weeks and become the biggest-selling single of the entire 1970s. And what was that song? You might first guess it was perhaps something by the Bee Gees, who were in their own historical chart-run at this moment. But it was actually "You Light Up My Life" by Debby Boone.

Cherry Red imprint Strike Force Entertainment has recently released an expanded reissue of the film's soundtrack. The movie, based upon the 1979 German fantasy novel by Michael Ende, tells the tale of ten-year old Bastion Balthazar Bux who begins to read a book
