With KC and The Sunshine Band, the numbers speak for themselves. The joyful group founded in the Sunshine State of Florida has racked up five U.S. No. 1 singles along with two more No. 2s as well as six charting LPs including their self-titled 1975 album which went top ten across the globe. Now, Cherry Red's Robinsongs imprint has celebrated the group's 50th anniversary with a new 3-CD anthology, The Ultimate Collection. After a low-key album debut in 1974 with Do It Good,
Sedan Delivery: Neil Young Officially Releases "Chrome Dreams" in August
Almost sixteen years after the release of Chrome Dreams II, Neil Young is finally unveiling the original, "lost" 1977 album. Featuring cover artwork by Ronnie Wood dating back to 1976, Chrome Dreams will arrive in CD, LP, and digital formats on August 11. The dozen songs comprising Chrome Dreams were recorded between 1974 and 1976 and assembled as an acetate to consider for potential release in 1977. Ultimately, Young opted to shelve Chrome Dreams, and his lone album release for 1977 was
Sweet, Sweet Surrender: Rare and Unreleased Beck, Bogert & Appice Concerts Collected in New Box Set
Some six months after Jeff Beck's passing - and in honor of what would have been his 79th birthday this fall - the beloved British guitarist's early '70s supergroup work as one-third of Beck, Bogert & Appice will be celebrated in a new live box set. Live in Japan 1973, Live in London 1974 is a 4CD/4LP box set offering two much-coveted sets in the short but pivotal era in which Beck, drummer/singer Carmine Appice and bassist Tim Bogert laid down a heavy duty power trio that knocked fans of
That's the Look: ABC's 'The Lexicon of Love' Updated with 40th Anniversary Vinyl/Blu-ray Box
Who's got the look? British band ABC's effortlessly cool debut The Lexicon of Love helped established a cutting-edge style for the decade to come, and it'll be reissued about a year on from its 40th anniversary this summer in a pair of new vinyl editions. Universal Music Recordings will bring Lexicon back into print on LP August 4 with a new half-speed master cut by Miles Showell at Abbey Road. That new master will also be featured as part of a 4LP deluxe box set, which will include nearly
Not So 'Last' Splash: The Breeders' Landmark Album Gets Reissued with Two Unheard Tracks
The Breeders' Last Splash - one of the most treasured albums of the '90s alternative rock explosion - will be newly reissued this fall with a small but intriguing selection of bonus material. The 1993 album was given the deluxe treatment for its 20th anniversary in 2013 - but, it turns out, the original analog tapes could not be located to create that set. In the decade since, they've been successfully located, and in addition to newly-remastered favorites like "Cannonball" and "Divine
Just Push Play: Aerosmith Preps Ultimate 'Greatest Hits' for August (UPDATED 6/28)
Ahead of their Peace Out Tour in 2023-2024 - closing a significant chapter in the book of one of the best (or perhaps the most) American rock bands - Aerosmith will issue a brand-new career spanning compilation across multiple formats in August. The simply-titled Greatest Hits shares a name with the group's first compilation, issued back in 1980, but it's being billed as an "ultimate" product, and packaged as an entirely different set. It is, of course, the first compilation issued since the
You Learn: Rhino To Release First Ever Vinyl Reissue of Alanis Morissette's 2005 Compilation "The Collection" in August

Rhino has just announced a first-time vinyl reissue of an album that celebrated the 10th anniversary of this breakthrough: Morissette's 2005 greatest hits compilation The Collection. The release featured 18 tracks drawing on Alanis' four American studio albums to that point and songs from other
Miracles: Rhino Relaunches Quadio with Jefferson Starship, Black Sabbath, J. Geils Band, and Alice Cooper
Quadio is back! After past releases in the series including, most recently, box sets from The Doobie Brothers and Chicago, Rhino is once again taking a deep dive into the Warner Music family of labels for four reissues presenting original quadraphonic mixes of classic albums on Blu-ray Audio.

Hey Little Sister: Billy Idol Expands Debut LP with Unreleased Live Show
On July 28, it'll be a nice day to start again: Billy Idol's self-titled debut album will be reissued on CD with a bonus live show. Released in 1982, Billy Idol was the first full-length solo effort from the British rocker with the spiky bleached hair and the inimitable sneer. A year before, he'd issued the Don't Stop EP, offering a remix of "Dancing with Myself" - the last major single from his former band Generation X - and a peppy cover of Tommy James and The Shondells' "Mony Mony." (A
Dance Only with Me: Stage Door Reissues Styne, Comden, and Green's "Say, Darling" as Deluxe Edition
Upon its May 13, 1954 opening, The Pajama Game was an instant smash. The Tony Award-winning Best Musical by George Abbott, Richard Bissell, Richard Adler, and Jerry Ross went on to run 1,063 performances and inspire a London production, two Broadway revivals, and countless regional, school, and community theatre productions. But for Bissell, the Iowa-born author of the novel 7-1/2 Cents on which The Pajama Game was based, the road to Broadway was a bumpy one. Bissell put his memories to paper
Holding On: Cherry Red Collects Beverley Craven's Epic Albums on "Memories"
Good - no, great - things do indeed come in small packages. Such is the case with the new collection from Cherry Red's 90/9 imprint. Beverley Craven's Memories: The Complete Epic Recordings 1990-1999 rounds up all three of the British singer-songwriter-pianist's major label albums, as well as a generous host of bonus tracks. Though Craven's catalogue is a small one - this 3-CD set represents roughly half of her released output - it's one rich with melodic charm and often exquisite songcraft
Day of the Sword: Quartet Brings Ennio Morricone's "Red Sonja" Score To Vinyl
A new documentary series, simply entitled Arnold, recently premiered on Netflix. The three-part film chronicles the life and career of Arnold Schwarzenegger. If you go back to the earliest part of the bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-Governor's film career, you will find his two Conan films and the related Red Sonja. The 1985 movie starred Brigitte Nielsen as the red-headed warrior and composer Ennio Morricone was brought on to provide the score. That score has been given its very first vinyl
Stand Back: Rhino Releases Stevie Nicks' Complete Discography on CD, LP Box
If you'll forgive the easy reference, there's no one quite as bewitching as Stevie Nicks. Since she joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975 and helped turn them from British blues-based cult act to blockbuster pop/rock icons, her enrapturing voice and stage presence have influenced generations. In 1981, she began a parallel solo career with hits on her own that helped make her, in 2019, the first woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice. It's that solo material that's the subject of a
New Direction: Bobby Darin's '60s Label Reactivates in July, Unreleased Music Promised
At the conclusion of his second Atlantic Records tenure in 1967 - a period which yielded the hit "If I Were a Carpenter" and vivid journeys through contemporary folk, Broadway, and Hollywood songbooks - Bobby Darin struck out on his own to form the Direction Records label. Devastated by the assassination of his close friend Robert F. Kennedy, shaken by revelations about his family, and stricken by the ongoing turmoil of the day, Bobby sought to shed the showbiz style to which he'd become

Elvis' 'Aloha' Beams Into Box Set for 50th Anniversary
America said Aloha to Elvis Presley in between a trip to the Dark Side of the Moon and a visit to the Houses of the Holy when the once and future King's Aloha from Hawaii album earned a berth between Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin atop the Billboard chart. Presley's Honolulu concert of January 14, 1973, preserved on records by RCA, was monumental in every respect. The most expensive entertainment broadcast to that point in time, Aloha from Hawaii was viewed by an estimated audience of over one
Made For These Times: The Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" Arrives in Dolby Atmos, Mixed by Giles Martin
When The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, the band's eleventh studio album, first was released in May 1966, response in the U.S. was surprisingly tepid. Though both "Sloop John B" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice" soared to the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, Capitol Records was unsure how to promote the album which represented an artistic zenith, and the beginning of a new era, for The Beach Boys. It peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 and was the group's first album since 1963 to miss a Gold
La-La Land Scares Up 'Munsters' Music, Ryuichi Sakamoto Score
La-La Land's latest batch of archival soundtracks celebrate a prolific television composer of the '60s and an orchestral film score from recently deceased pioneer of electronic music. In the first season of Netflix's cult sketch comedy series I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, an oafish party guest (played with boorish perfection by Tim Heidecker) aggravates some new friends during a game in which people try to guess famous names out of a hat; all of his selections are mostly made-up
Like a Hurricane: Neil Young's Remastered "Official Release Series" Vol. 5 Contains Four Albums, Expands "Ragged Glory"
Neil Young's Official Release Series Volume 5 is on the way. Set for release July 14, the 6-CD or 9-LP box set will include Freedom (1989), an expanded edition of Ragged Glory (1990), Weld (1991), and Arc (1991). As with all titles in this series, the albums have been remastered, with Ragged Glory sourced from analog tape. This marks the first time these four LPs have been remastered for vinyl.

Let Me Out: Brian May, Eddie Van Halen Trade Licks on 'Star Fleet Project' Reissue
Having reissued and expanded Brian May's Back to the Light and Another World, UMe will turn fans' attention to the Queen guitarist's first-ever solo project, a 1983 collaboration with a collection of stellar musicians - including a team-up with another one of the most iconic guitarists of the age. Star Fleet Project, issued 40 years ago, was a three-track album clocking in at just under half an hour, but here it's being expanded two two discs featuring the original contents of the album
Rock 'N' Roll Suicide: Bowie's Final Ziggy Gig Gets 50th Anniversary Reissue
Over 50 years after David Bowie bade farewell to one of his most recognizable onstage personas, the show in which he did so will be reissued and restored. Ziggy Stardust: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack will be reissued by Parlophone August 11, just a month after the exact anniversary of that landmark date at Hammersmith Odeon in London. Originally issued in truncated form in 1983, the program was remixed and restored in 2003; this presentation will feature two tracks finally added
Paradise Is Here: Cher Expands "It's a Man's World" on CD, LP
1995's It's a Man's World returned Cher to the Warner Music family after a string of studio albums on the Casablanca, Columbia, and Geffen labels. Though the album charted higher in the U.K. than in the U.S., it anticipated the 1998 international smash Believe and is today recognized as another classic chapter in the artist's extraordinary career. On July 14, It's a Man's World will return from Warner Records as a Deluxe Edition available on 2 CDs or 4 LPs. Both versions contain the complete
OUT TOMORROW! Second Disc Records, Real Gone Music Turn Up the "Disco Heat" with New Sylvester Anthology
When the self-described "disco queen" known as Sylvester stepped on a New York stage opening for Chaka Khan, the local press was entranced. One newspaper approvingly noted that he made "David Bowie look like Lawrence Welk." Nothing was too outrageous for Sylvester. But at his core, he was serious about music and about breaking down the walls of identity. In appearance and demeanor, the unapologetically gay San Francisco star challenged the gender binary long before such discussions were in
Higher and Higher: Rhino Collects Otis Redding's Posthumous Releases on "Otis Forever" Box
Back in 2017, Rhino released Otis Redding's Definitive Studio Album Collection, bringing together vinyl editions of seven studio albums spanning 1964's Pain in My Heart through 1968's posthumous The Dock of the Bay.

Farewell Farwell: Charles Mingus' Last Works Chronicled in New Rhino Box Set
Influential jazz composer-bassist Charles Mingus has been the subject of numerous collections over the years encompassing his various label affiliations.
