A Second Disc Encore: July 4 Special Reissue Theory: "1776: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack"

July 4, 2017 By Joe Marchese 5 Comments

1776 soundtrack lp1

Happy 4th of July!  Welcome to another installment of Reissue Theory, where we take a look back at notable albums and the reissues they could someday see. In 1969, a Broadway musical about a most unlikely subject became the toast of New York.  Three years later, a movie mogul in the twilight of his years shepherded it to the big screen, and while the film has lived on, its soundtrack album has all but disappeared.  Today's Reissue Theory, pulled from The Second Disc archives, imagines a

miracle legion

At the end of this month, alt-rock outfit Miracle Legion are playing their final dates together, including a date this Friday at New York's Bowery Ballroom and two closing dates on April 28-29 in California. It seemed right to shine a little light on a band that, without warning, has come to mean a great deal to me.

Welcome to another installment of Reissue Theory, where we focus on great albums and the reissues they could someday see. The passing of a beloved actor leads to a discovery of the New Wave band you might not have known he was in! The loss of Bill Paxton today resonates hard among moviegoers of the '80s and '90s. The Texan actor, who appeared in films like The Terminator, Weird Science, Aliens, Near Dark, Tombstone, Apollo 13, Twister, Titanic and Nightcrawler, passed away at 61 due to

tony sings the great hits of today

Welcome to another installment of Reissue Theory, where we reflect on well-known albums of the past and the reissues they could someday see. This installment spins what may be the least-loved Tony Bennett LP into a lost classic for the ages. Today's Reissue Theory takes a look at one of the most reviled albums of all time, the LP thought to be the nadir of a career still going strong after nearly 50 years. The artist is Tony Bennett, and the album is Tony Sings the Great Hits of Today! ,
