McCartney SHM splash

What's that he's doing? Paul McCartney has been releasing much of his solo catalogue on SHM-CD since last year - and with a new batch about to be imported to record stores, this seemed like the right time to spotlight them all. Universal Music Group has not only gone in on high-quality SHM-CDs for release in Japan, but have recently been hyping them up for stateside collectors, releasing everything from out-of-print Quincy Jones titles to the first physical editions of a series of digital

Brian Wilson At My Piano Promo Shot

The passing of The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson on June 11, 2025 - just two days after the loss of another singular titan of '60s pop/rock, Sly Stone - obviously hits Team Second Disc and all our treasured readers hard.

I could go on at length about his raw talent: the ways every person on earth who's ever had
