Intrada has released two very different scores to two live action Disney comedies, both based on true events of the Vietnam War--as unbelievable as that may seem. Alex North's score to Good Morning, Vietnam and David Newman's score to Operation Dumbo Drop have been dusted off for a 2-for-1 release on CD. Good Morning, Vietnam featured late funnyman Robin Williams as Adrian Cronauer, a real-life disc jockey on the Armed Forces Radio Service. His irreverent broadcasts confound his superiors but
Omnivore Aim to Please with Expansion of Bash & Pop's Debut
Tommy Stinson kicked off 2017 with a revival of his post-Replacements group Bash & Pop, featuring an all-new lineup and album. This fall, Omnivore will revisit Bash & Pop's first album, Friday Night is Killing Me, in a generously-expanded deluxe edition. From the ashes of the 'Mats (and with a fitting name selected through a radio station contest), Bash & Pop was Stinson (switching from bass to guitar), Replacements drummer Steve Foley, his brother Kevin on bass and second
Berlin and Beyond: Third Bowie Box Set Announced
The newest career-spanning David Bowie box set chronicles the icon as he ends the '70s with some of his most experimental work yet, adding rarities to spare. A New Career in a New Town (1977-1982) follows 2015's Five Years (1969-1973) and 2016's Who Can I Be Now? (1974-1976), offering material from five major studio and live albums: Low (1977), "Heroes" (1977), Stage (1978), Lodger (1979) and Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) (1980). Low, "Heroes" and Lodger are, of course, referred to as the
Love Never Dies: Belinda Carlisle Plans 'Heaven On Earth' Vinyl Box
Vinyl enthusiasts and fans of Belinda Carlisle have quite the package to look forward to this year, when Edsel releases a vinyl box set edition of her second solo album, 1987's Heaven On Earth, for its 30th anniversary. The former Go-Go's frontwoman hit it big with her first solo single, the Top 5 hit "Mad About You," a year prior in 1986. But Heaven On Earth is what established Carlisle as a solo performer for the '80s and '90s, with three Top 10 hits in the U.S. and the U.K. with the
Really Wanna Make You Mine: Rhino Expands Jet's First Two Albums
This summer has seen a wave of nostalgia for the modern rock boom of the early '00s. Lizzie Goodman's book Meet Me In the Bathroom: Rebirth and Rock and Roll in New York City 2001-2011 has reminded music lovers of the heyday of bands like The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD Soundsystem and others. But New Yor, wasn't the only home of rock during this period; Rhino's throwing it back to the Jet age--the Australian rock group, that is. The Melbourne-based quartet courted brief success during the
You're Gonna Need a Bigger Shelf: "JAWS" Score Surfaces on Vinyl by Mondo
How appropriate on this, the eve of the Fourth of July, that Mondo announces a vinyl title to keep audiences out of the water and off the beach! The specialty vinyl label will premiere John Williams' original Oscar-winning score to Steven Spielberg's JAWS this fall. Based on the bestseller by Peter Benchley, JAWS focused on a bustling beach community whose summer tourism boom is threatened by a massive great white shark. The chief of police (Roy Scheider), a young oceanographer (Richard
Tell All the People: New Doors Collection to Feature Rare Edits and Mixes
The Doors' 50th anniversary celebration, which kicked off with an expansion of their debut album earlier this year, continues with a new compilation that, astoundingly, does something none of their previous collections have done: compile every original single side from their entire career. The Singles compiles all 20 of the band's singles from The Doors' official discography. This not only includes every A and B-side from their best-known studio albums from The Doors (1967) to L.A. Woman
Art for Art's Sake: Eric Stewart Collection, 10cc, Godley & Creme Box Sets Forthcoming
With apologies to Lady Gaga, it may be British band 10cc that's most worthy of the term "art pop." The multifaceted group yielded 11 Top 10 hits in their native England, including the No. 1s "Rubber Bullets," "I'm Not In Love" and "Dreadlock Holiday"; the group even crossed over into the U.S. charts with "I'm Not In Love" and "The Things We Do for Love," both Top 5 hits. By an amazing coincidence, not one, not two, but three 10cc-related catalogue collections are hitting stores starting next
Review: Prince and The Revolution, 'Purple Rain: Deluxe Expanded Edition'
Dearly Beloved It exists. It really exists. That may be the most astounding thing about the deluxe expanded edition of Prince's masterpiece Purple Rain (Warner Bros./NPG Records 547374-2). And believe me, there's a lot to be astounded by. This set features the first remaster of any Prince album in the compact disc era, a fully-stocked disc of officially unreleased tracks from the vault, a complete offering of sides (edits, remixes and B-sides) from all five singles released from the
Devo Demos Recombo'd for Vinyl
Devo's demo collection Recombo DNA will be expanded and reissued this year in a special 4LP vinyl edition from the Futurismo label. Released as a limited 2CD set in 2000 by Rhino Handmade, Recombo DNA collected unreleased demos, alternates and outtakes of the legendary Akron band recorded during their tenure on Warner Bros. Records between 1977 and 1987. Versions of familiar tracks like "Be Stiff," "Girl U Want," "Whip It" and others are all here. Futurismo's version is pressed on
Beach House Plan 'B-Sides and Rarities' Album
The atmospheric psych-rock of Baltimore duo Beach House continues to win over swaths of fans, both on the road and from their studio albums (2015 saw the release of two albums including Depression Cherry, the group's second U.S. Top 10 effort). Now, they're taking time to look back on a new compilation. B-Sides and Rarities scoops up 14 non-album cuts, hidden tracks and outtakes in one handy collection. Spanning from the release of their debut album in 2005 and stopping a decade later at the
Still the Same: Classic Bob Seger Albums Make Streaming Debut
As the music business increasingly adopts streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music into their strategies for success, it becomes painfully clear when albums (or whole catalogues, even) are missing from the digital realm. This year, we've already seen the triumphant return of Prince's Warner Bros.-era masters beyond the Tidal platform, ahead of next week's Purple Rain reissue. On Friday, one of the most famous holdouts finally relented. Bob Seger, the iconic Detroit rocker, and Capitol
Get Busy: Sean Paul Releases Greatest Hits Collection
If you've been on a dance floor since the start of the millennium, there's a good chance you've heard the intoxicating dancehall riddims of Sean Paul. A recently released greatest hits compilation from Rhino Records puts those dancefloor classics in full focus. Born Sean Paul Henriques in Kingston, Jamaica, the singer was discovered in his mid-20s, with a flow compared favorably to dancehall pioneer Super Cat. A cameo in music video director Hype Williams' big-screen bow, the urban crime
Don't Worry, Kyoko: Three More Yoko Ono Reissues Announced
Secretly Canadian, in partnership with Chimera Music, last year announced a back catalogue campaign covering the challenging musical works of Yoko Ono. The second batch of three expanded albums will be released next month, the label announced today. Three albums from the early '70s recorded for Apple Records--1971's Fly and 1973's Approximately Infinite Universe and Feeling the Space--will be repressed on CD and LP for the first time in many years on July 14. Each release will feature bonus
Pet Shop Boys Announce "Catalogue 1985-2012," Three Expanded Albums
After a 16-year break, legendary British duo Pet Shop Boys have announced a trio of expanded reissues from within their Parlophone Records discography--now part of a new initiative, Catalogue 1985-2012. On July 28, new remastered reissues of Nightlife (1997), Release (2002) and Fundamental (2006) will be issued worldwide. As with prior releases, each CD title will include a series of Further Listening discs featuring "master quality bonus tracks and demos created in the same time period as
Hanging by a Moment: Lifehouse to Release Greatest Hits Compilation
Pop quiz: what was the biggest single of 2001? Here's a hint: it's one of only three that never actually topped the Billboard Hot 100 for a single week. That answer would be "Hanging by a Moment," the breakthrough single by Los Angeles pop-rockers Lifehouse. Now, 17 years and four Top 10 albums later, the group is slated to release a greatest-hits compilation through UMe. Led by smoky-voiced, spiritual-not-religious songwriter Jason Wade, Lifehouse first began its run as Blyss, an alternative
Go All the Way! Omnivore Unearths Raspberries' 2004 Reunion
The House of Blues picked a hell of a hometown act to open their Cleveland location in the fall of 2004: for the first time in nearly 30 years, the original line-up of power pop heroes the Raspberries reunited on stage. That magical night will now be available for all to enjoy, thanks to a new 2CD set from Omnivore Records due this August! Pop Art Live collects the full set by Eric Carmen (vocals/guitar/piano), Wally Bryson (guitar), Dave Smalley (bass) and Jim Bonfanti (drums) as they played

Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment: Ramones Remix and Expand "Leave Home" for 40th Anniversary
Last year's deluxe 40th anniversary edition of the self-titled debut album by the Ramones looks to be the first in a series! Rhino Records today announced a rarity packed 3CD/1LP edition of the band's second album, 1977's Leave Home, for release this summer. Leave Home was a progression for the Forest Hills punk quartet: more diverse songs written independently by the band instead of devised in the studio; a budget nearly doubled from the sessions for Ramones (plus a big shot producer, Tony
Step Inside, Walk This Way: Def Leppard Expand "Hysteria" to Seven Discs
In very many ways, Def Leppard's fourth studio album Hysteria was their biggest--and a new box set due this year looks to prove that en masse. On August 4--exactly 30 years since it was first released--Bludgeon Riffola and UMC will release multiple expanded editions of Hysteria, including a new 3CD deluxe edition, a 5CD/2DVD box set (both boasting material not on the 20th anniversary deluxe edition released in 2007) and vinyl formats. Hysteria was the culmination of more than three years
Strung Out: Wendy & Lisa's "Eroica" To Be Expanded by Cherry Red
Looking for something Prince-related to tide you over before the Purple Rain reissue hits stores? Cherry Pop Records is reissuing Eroica, the third album from Prince's longtime collaborators Wendy & Lisa. Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman were already several years removed from their split with Prince (who disbanded The Revolution in 1986); in 1987, they put their only pop single on the U.S. charts with the criminally underrated pop nugget "Waterfall." By the release of Eroica, the duo's
WIN! WIN! WIN! Rhino's Latest Expanded Reissues From Bad Company
Last week, Rhino remastered and expanded two more classic albums Bad Company recorded for the Swan Song label. This week, we've got a copy of both new titles--and we want YOU to win! Run With The Pack (1976) and Burnin' Sky (1977) were the third and fourth albums by the British supergroup (vocalist Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke of Free, guitarist Mick Ralphs of Mott The Hoople and King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell), and continued the band's stellar success in the United States, each
Constant Craving: k.d. lang's Breakthrough Album to Be Expanded
This summer, k.d. lang will celebrate the 25th anniversary of her breakthrough album Ingénue with a newly-expanded deluxe edition pairing the album with previously unreleased performances from her MTV Unplugged special. Ingénue found lang moving away from the country style she had earned acclaim with in the late '80s to a more cabaret-pop sensibility--less Patsy Cline and more Edith Piaf, The Los Angeles Times suggested. Reuniting with producers Greg Perry and Ben Mink from her fourth album,
Reissued Commodores LP is Stacked, and That's a Fact
Four decades ago, Southern funk band the Commodores established their place in the pop-soul pantheon with their self-titled fifth album. Now, Universal Music Enterprises is revisiting the album in a brand new way, as an expanded vinyl set. Commodores continued the Tuskegee, Alabama-bred group's ascendancy, balancing hip dance tracks with sweet balladry. The alpha and omega of these styles featured co-lead singer/drummer Walter Orange, trumpeter William King and bassist Ronald LaPread leading
This is a Song to All of My Friends: Howard Jones Announces New Compilation
Don't crack up, bend your brain: a new triple-disc Howard Jones compilation is coming out from U.K. label Cherry Red Records. The blonde keyboardist from Southampton was a staple of early-mid '80s U.K. pop thanks to his catchy synth-driven melodies with often heavy, introspective lyrics. This combination took "New Song," "What is Love," "Things Can Only Get Better," "No One is to Blame" and five more songs into his home country's Top 20. Success in the United States was later but slightly
