Working Men: Rush Announce Deluxe Vinyl Reissue of Debut LP
A little over four decades after its first release, Canadian rockers Rush will reissue their first album on high-quality vinyl in April. Rush, the band's self-titled debut on the band's own label Moon Records, was a primitive but promising start for the band. Singer/bassist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer John Rutsey (who, within a year's time, would be replaced by current drummer Neil Peart) turned out a low-fidelity but enthusiastic batch of originals bearing a stronger
Deep Purple Revisit "Made in Japan" in a Big Way
Deep Purple's monstrous power as a live act was solidified more than four decades ago with the release of their first live album, Made in Japan. This May, a tidal wave of Made in Japan reissues are surging your way, from remasters to expansions to box sets on CD, vinyl and Blu-Ray. (Whew!) In 1972, Deep Purple were flying higher than ever. The quintet - at the time, singer Ian Gillan, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, bassist Roger Glover, keyboardist Jon Lord and drummer Ian Paice - had just
In Case You Missed It: INXS' Wembley Show Lives Anew in Digital Reissue
If you've ever wondered why so much INXS catalogue activity centers solely around 1987's Kick, there's something new and different for you available: a live concert from the early 1990s, instead. The Australian band have recently released Live At Wembley Stadium 1991 to digital retailers. This 22-track album features audio from the band's July 13, 1991 concert at London's famed stadium, which exactly six years prior held a rapt audience for Live Aid. Their Summer XS tour promoted the previous
Rock 'N' Roll Stars Revisited: Oasis Announce Catalogue Expansion
Britpop band Oasis may never be reuniting again thanks to the hilariously toxic relationship between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, but the band's 20th anniversary will be celebrated with several deluxe reissues, the first of which was announced today. This year, all three of the band's albums released in the 1990s will be remastered and expanded, starting with 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe, to be reissued in May. (The set's being referred to as the "Chasing the Sun Edition," to quote a
Won't You Come: Soundgarden Announce "Superunknown" Box Set
Grunge legends Soundgarden will honor their most successful album, 1994's Superunknown, with a sprawling five-disc box set. The first band of the Seattle explosion to sign with a major label, A&M Records, in 1988, Soundgarden broke through the commercial mainstream with the release of third album Badmotorfinger in 1991, arguably the holy trinity of the genre alongside fellow 1991 albums Nevermind by Nirvana and Ten by Pearl Jam. Superunknown saw the band experimenting with an expanded sonic
Keeping Score with New Releases by Intrada and Kritzerland
The last few weeks have seen some great catalogue soundtracks released, including a set of LPs from a beloved Golden Age composer and a pair of heavy hitters at 20th Century-Fox. Last week saw Intrada release two score titles. The first is the world premiere of Maurice Jarre's score to Distant Thunder, from the 1988 John Lithgow-Ralph Macchio film about a Vietnam War veteran uneasily returning to his family after a decade spent in the American wilderness. Jarre's small-scale electronic ensemble

Rock Candy Supplies the Love with New Toto Remasters
For years, Rock Candy Records has been doing great work with high-quality remasters of great album-oriented rock records. This year, they will take on one of the undisputed kings of that subgenre, with three reissues from Toto due on March 24.

Jump on It! Incredible Bongo Band's Debut Reissued on Vinyl
Of all the breaks in hip-hop history to get you on the dance floor, few are more thrilling to this very day than "Apache," as recorded by Michael Viner's Incredible Bongo Band. A cover of a Jerry Lordan instrumental made famous by The Shadows in the U.K. and Jørgen Ingman and His Guitar in the U.S. in the early 1960s, the bongo-heavy version of "Apache" never charted but became a major influence on early hip-hop. The song's spaghetti western-esque riff was sampled by the likes of The Beastie
From De-Evolution to Revolution: Rare Devo Show to Be Released in Full for Record Store Day
The rock world was stunned yesterday by the announcement of the sudden passing of Bob Casale, guitarist/keyboardist/engineer for quintessential New Wave outfit Devo. "Bob 2," as he was known to scores of fans ("Bob 1" being guitarist/vocalist Bob Mothersbaugh), was an integral part of one of the quirkiest pop bands of the last century, and his sudden death has left a hole in the hearts of fans everywhere. By sheer coincidence, Devo have been one of the first acts to announce a title for Record
"Drums Along the Hudson" Beat Again with Reissue of Expanded Album
When Jem Recordings - the famous import distributor (located in the author's hometown!) - was reborn last year, at its front and center was The Bongos, the incredible Hoboken-bred pop-rock band who were the first and last act to play the town's legendary venue Maxwell's when it closed last year. Jem issued on CD an unreleased Bongos album, Phantom Train, as well as a physical release for frontman Richard Barone's superb Cool Blue Halo 25th Anniversary Concert. Last week, Jem added another Bongos
Bruce Springsteen Remasters Announced - with a Twist
It's one of the biggest headlines catalogue music fans have been waiting decades to hear - if not necessarily in the context they'd like. Today, Bruce Springsteen announced ten of his albums from across his entire discography have been newly remastered from the original analogue tapes by Bob Ludwig. The list includes five classic LPs - Springsteen's first four albums Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. (1973), The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle (1973), Born to Run (1975), Darkness

Bear Family Making Plans for Box Set of Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton Recordings
Johnny and June. George and Tammy. Porter and Dolly. The world of country music had some of its greatest successes in pairs - duets whose songs projected all the joy and pain of love and loss, just like any good country song should. Whether the joy or pain was real or simply projected very well is another matter, as anyone who's seen Walk the Line can attest. In the case of Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton, their relationship was never romantic and often turbulent, but it did yield one of the
Edsel is Still Mad About Belinda Carlisle with New Anthologies
After a series of great expanded CD/DVD reissues, Edsel will release not one but two career-spanning anthologies dedicated to former Go-Go's frontwoman/pop icon Belinda Carlisle.

While Carlisle has been relatively quiet since
Action, Action, Action! Real Gone's April Release Schedule Announced
Second Disc HQ may be surrounded by layers of detestable snow, but a new release schedule from Real Gone Music is as good as any sunshine! (Plus, these titles are due in April, by which everything will have melted...WE HOPE.)

A complete singles collection by Patti LaBelle and The Bluebells - featuring the three future members of LaBelle with
ABBA Celebrate 40 Years of "Waterloo" with New Reissue
It may seem trite and ridiculous to Americans, but across the pond there is one competition that's bigger than any Idol or X-Factor event in the music world: the Eurovision Song Contest. For nearly 60 years, dozens of countries in the European Broadcasting Union send a song and a performer to the live event, and a winner is selected by votes. Despite the immense popularity of the contest, it's interesting how few winners achieve true global superstardom. Sandie Shaw won with her signature
A Goldsmith Grail to Check Off Your "List"
How did you celebrate yesterday, which would have been the 85th birthday of revered film composer Jerry Goldsmith (1929-2004)? Did you play some of the great recent reissues of some of his most classic scores? It's safe to say whatever you did, Varese Sarabande did it one step ahead: yesterday the label announced the long-awaited releases of one of Goldsmith's most enduring and unavailable scores, 1963's The List of Adrian Messenger. Based on a 1959 novel of the same name, Adrian Messenger,
Just the Way You Like It: Hits, Videos Compiled on Tabu Box Set
After more than a year of reissues of the Tabu Records catalogue by Edsel - reissues that have been relatively lavish but particularly divisive for their occasional lapses in audio quality - the label has prepped a thorough career-spanning box set. The Tabu Records Box Set is a 6CD/1DVD affair collecting tracks from all of the label's major releases between 1977 and 1991. Each disc will be broken down by theme; the first focuses on early soul albums by the likes of The S.O.S. Band and
