Fans of Otis Redding have twice the reason to celebrate this holiday season with the release of two separate products celebrating The King of Soul's output in 1966. First up, Rhino is reissuing Complete & Unbelievable...The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul as a double-disc set.

Hey Now: Crowded House's Catalogue Expanded for 30th Anniversary
Ahead of their induction to the Australia Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Hall of Fame this fall--and 30 years after the release of their first of many stellar albums--Crowded House have unveiled a spectacular and thorough reissue campaign that sees the reissue of all of their albums as expanded CDs and heavyweight vinyl titles. The project, which covers every one of their studio albums release between 1986 and 2010 (plus 2000's rarities album Afterglow), sees each album digitally
New 200CD Box Set is the Last Word on Mozart
How much do you love Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? A mammoth box set from Decca is celebrating the composer this fall. The Austrian composer lived just 35 years, from 1756 to 1791, but his impact on Western music is hard to deny. An acclaimed keyboardist and a composer from age five, Mozart's body of work--which spanned from symphonies to concertos, chamber and sacred music, and even operas like The Marriage of Figaro and The Magic Flute--remains the most influential of the classic period. It's a
Remember Love: Yoko Ono's Catalogue to Be Reissued
Since shortly before The Second Disc began in 2010, we've seen a swath of major reissues, overhauls and catalog deliveries of the works of both The Beatles, together and separately, too. This fall, it's time to take a look at the catalogue of one of The Beatles' most intriguing associates: Yoko Ono. John Lennon's second wife is not "the woman who broke up The Beatles," as has been famously charged. But John's devotion to her as expressed in much of his solo music, as well as her own
Oh Yeah! "Ferris Bueller" Soundtrack Coming from La-La Land Records
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you might miss something...like La-La Land Records' newest soundtrack title, the first-ever release of a soundtrack from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. An all-time classic since it was first released in 1986, John Hughes' seminal comedy (which he wrote in under a week and also directed) tells the story of the titular teen slacker (Matthew Broderick), who takes a day off from school and recruits his neurotic best friend

Stay Hungry: Twisted Sister Release New Career Compilation
A new Twisted Sister compilation celebrates their loudest hits as they celebrate their fourth decade together with one last tour. Most know Twisted Sister--the Long Island-based quintet famously comprised of vocalist Dee Snider, guitarists Eddie "Fingers" Ojeda and Jay Jay French, bassist Mark "The Animal" Mendoza and drummer A.J. Pero--for their catchy riffs and over-the-top fashion sense (notably Snider's wild blonde mane and made-up face). This is, of course, what earned them constant
Out of Their Heads: Stones Plan Mono Box Set
With an expansion of their acoustic live album Stripped, a gallery exhibition and a South American documentary all bowing this year, The Rolling Stones aren't letting up in 2016. Now, it looks like we can add one more to their busy year: a box set of the band's ABKCO-controlled discography, all released in mono. The Rolling Stones in Mono captures, on 15 CDs or 16 LPs, the original mono albums released on both sides of the Atlantic between 1964 and 1969. While The Beatles waited for some time

Home Entertainment has announced The Prince Movie Collection, featuring all three of his feature films on Blu-ray with newly remastered picture, due out this fall. Of course, Purple Rain needs nearly no introduction: the stylized, vaguely autobiographical feature starred Prince as "The Kid" alongside his band, The
Saviors of the Broken: My Chemical Romance Expand "The Black Parade," 10 Years On
Ten years after My Chemical Romance released their magnum opus The Black Parade, the New Jersey emo-punk heroes will revisit it in a special double-disc set featuring a host of demos and outtakes. After the success of their major-label breakthrough, 2004's dark, hook-filled Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, My Chemical Romance went a little deeper for their follow-up. Inspired by Queen and Pink Floyd sonically and The Beatles and David Bowie in terms of visualization, the band effectively

Nothing Has Been Proved: Cherry Red to Expand Dusty Springfield's "Reputation"
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Dusty Springfield rightfully regained her reputation as one of the best British soul singers of her generation, with the help of some famous collaborators. The fruits of that labor, 1990's Reputation, is being expanded by Cherry Red Records this summer. While Dusty had dominated part of the '60s with a unique brand of soul-pop on tracks like "I Only Want to Be with You," "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" and the Burt Bacharach-Hal David-penned "Wishin' and
It's Her Life: Light in the Attic Releases Betty Davis' Mythic "Columbia Years" with Miles, Masekela and More
Light in the Attic's penchant for incredible finds continues with the release of landmark, unheard sessions by singer Betty Davis with a galaxy of music stars backing her up.

They Care a Lot: Faith No More to Expand Debut Album
Alt-metal icons Faith No More are visiting their earliest material with a deluxe edition of debut album We Care a Lot this summer.

This trio would leave Faith No Man for their own
