Over the past couple of years, UMC has been busy revisiting the catalogue of late Irish guitar virtuoso Rory Gallagher. Following last fall's box set celebrating Gallagher's eponymous 1971 debut, the label is turning its attention to his second album, 1972's Deuce, for another deluxe, expanded edition. The similarly expansive 4CD release, due on September 30, boasts: A new mix of the original album; 28 previously unreleased alternate takes; A six-song 1972 BBC Radio In Concert

Go Back, Jack, Do It Again: Steely Dan's Discography Gets Overhaul from UMe, Analogue Productions
Between 1972 and 1980, Steely Dan - the loose unit of like-minded musicians and singers led by songwriter-producers Walter Becker and Donald Fagen - released seven albums on the ABC and MCA labels. While Steely Dan was never a "singles artist," charting just three top ten hits, the band's albums were era-defining affairs; six of their LPs have attained at least Platinum status in the United States, with the seventh respectably going Gold. Now, that epochal catalogue defined by immaculate

Disney's Legacy Collection Enters "A Whole New World" with 'Aladdin' Expansion
Walt Disney Records' still-persisting catalogue product line The Legacy Collection has been mostly dormant since 2015. After two waves of titles throughout two calendar years - each focusing on anniversaries of classic Disney films from multiple generations - the series has been stop-start since 2017, releasing expanded editions of the soundtracks to Robin Hood (1973), Beauty and the Beast (1991) and, most recently, The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996). Now, a classic title is added to the Legacy
Let There Be Love: SoulMusic Collects, Expands Shirley Murdock's Elektra Albums
As a member of the extended family of funk group Zapp, Shirley Murdock memorably added her vocals to the 1986 hit "Computer Love" (for which she also shares a co-writing credit). Concurrently, Murdock was launching her own solo career at Elektra Records, where she would release three solo LPs through 1991. Now, Cherry Red's SoulMusic Records imprint has revisited and expanded that trio of albums on As We Lay: The Elektra Recordings (1985-1991), a new 3-CD collection that's an essential

In 2024, Kool and the Gang will celebrate 60 years of music-making. Though the band has weathered the passing of key personnel in recent years including founding members Ronald Bell a.k.a. Khalis Bayyan and Dennis "D.T." Thomas, Robert "Kool" Bell and George "Funky" Brown keep the fusion of soul, R&B, dance, funk, and jazz alive and well. Earlier this year, Demon Music Group's Edsel label released Kool and the Gang's The Albums Vol. 1: 1970-1978 collecting their first dozen LPs plus a disc

On April 26, 1969, Jimi Hendrix took the stage at the Los Angeles Forum with the original lineup of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding. While songs from the show have been released in the past on Lifelines (1990) and The Jimi Hendrix Concerts (1989), the entire concert has never been officially issued in its entirety.

And Your Bird Can Sing! The Beatles' "Revolver" Goes Super Deluxe in October
The Beatles' seventh studio album - and the bridge between Rubber Soul and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - 1966's Revolver is recognized as one of the Fab Four's most groundbreaking as well as significant albums. With producer George Martin, the group employed studio wizardry to bring their new songs to life - tape loops, automatic double tracking, close miking, use of varispeed and reversed tapes, among other techniques that would soon be imitated by countless others - as well as
The Second Disc Guesses the 'Thriller 40' Track List
It's hard to know what a Michael Jackson event release looks like today. For one, the King of Pop is very much dead; for another, November's impending release of Thriller 40 is the third reissue of the bestselling album. Are the vaults empty? Is the estate stingy? (This is, after all, the same Jackson estate that bizarrely changed the font on the cover, got very defensive about it, yet changed it again, with a new slipcase. Also, the upcoming Mobile Fidelity vinyl edition may have gotten the
Circle of Love: Dolly Parton's "Holly Dolly Christmas" Gets Expanded Edition in October
2020's A Holly Dolly Christmas was Dolly Parton's 47th solo studio album, but only her third full-length Christmas record following the Kenny Rogers collaboration Once Upon a Christmas (1984) and solo Home for Christmas (1990). The joyful yuletide set, supported by a prime-time CBS television special, became the superstar's eighth Billboard Country chart-topper; it also reached the peak of the Holiday Albums chart and the top twenty of the Billboard 200. On October 14, the Grammy-nominated
Can You Feel the Love Tonight: Four Elton John LPs Reissued on Vinyl Today
As Elton John continues the final North American leg of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, another four gems from his discography have returned to vinyl following the recent reissues of The One and Peachtree Road. A Single Man arrived in 1978 and marked a turning point for the singer-songwriter following 1976's expansive double album Blue Moves. Despite the presence of the hit single "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word," Blue Moves had ended John's streak of chart-topping albums that began
Two (Discs) of Hearts: Cherry Pop Expands Stacey Q's Debut with 20 Rare or New-to-CD Tracks
Stacey Q's 1986 debut album was titled Better Than Heaven, and listeners were inclined to agree with that assessment as its lead single "Two of Hearts" ascended the charts in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and throughout Europe. On September 16, Cherry Pop will reissue the Hi-NRG classic as a deluxe 2-CD expanded edition with a whopping 20 bonus tracks, almost every one of which is new to CD.

Love It Loud: KISS Expand 'Creatures of the Night' for Deluxe Box Set
Currently well into the 10th leg of their End of the Road farewell tour - which started in 2019! - it feels like KISS might never go away.

Creatures will be reissued for its 40th anniversary on November 18 in a variety of formats: chiefly a 5CD/Blu-ray box packed with the remastered album and 67 live and studio bonus tracks, nearly all
Dee-Lightful! Stage Door Reissues, Expands Johnny Burke's "Donnybrook!"
"Dee-lightful Is the Word" for Donnybrook! The 1961 Broadway musical was based on Maurice Walsh's short story "The Quiet Man" which had famously been adapted by director John Ford and screenwriter Frank S. Nugent into the Academy Award-winning 1952 film of that name. The story and film had all of the ingredients of a successful musical, with a colorful Irish setting, larger-than-life characters, and vivid romance. Ultimately, Donnybrook! lasted just 61 performances at the 46th Street Theatre
I'll Be Right Here: 'E.T.' Celebrates 40 Years on Earth with New CD, LP Reissues
Steven Spielberg's magical masterpiece E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial was the highest-grossing movie of all time for more than a decade after its release in 1982, and inspired a new kind of kid-focused, often fantasy-oriented adventure films. The picture also features one of the most enduring scores by legendary composer John Williams, a multiple award winner in its time. As part of a long-running 40th anniversary campaign that's included a terrific making-of book, apparel, a theatrical IMAX reissue
Out of Their Mind and Onto Your Stereo: Duran Duran's 'Medazzaland' Finally Gets Worldwide Release
A Duran Duran album not coming out in England sounds like some sort of wacky mistake - but in 1997, it was a hard truth for one of the country's most enduring pop/rock acts. Now, 25 years later and on the eve of their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, that record is finally corrected with a worldwide, physical reissue of the group's misunderstood Medazzaland on October 14. The '90s found Duran in some of the most whiplash-inducing scenarios of their career. They started the decade with
Keep Your Electric Eye on Me: New Mixes, Live Material Feature on Bowie's 'Moonage Daydream' Documentary Soundtrack
Brett Morgen's Moonage Daydream is certainly shaping up to be one of the most anticipated rock documentaries of the year. The writer/editor/producer/director behind acclaimed documentaries on film impresario Robert Evans and Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain brings his narrative focus to David Bowie, using unseen footage and the voice of the late rock icon himself to paint an officially-sanctioned portrait of his eclectic career. Having already screened at Cannes to critical acclaim, Moonage Daydream

Build Me Up, Buttercup: Cherry Red Collects The Foundations on "Am I Groovin' You"
When "Baby, Now That I've Found You" reached No. 1 on the U.K. Singles Chart in late 1967, The Foundations became the country's first multi-racial band to score a No. 1 single. The irresistible tune by Tony Macaulay and John MacLeod also topped the chart in Canada and peaked just out of the top ten in the United States, inaugurating a brief period of success for the groundbreaking group. The Foundations are well-remembered today for both "Baby, Now That I've Found" you and the Macaulay/Mike

Filthy Habits: "Zappa '75" Brings Frank and The Mothers' Yugoslavia Shows to CD
Earlier this year, Zappa Records and UME released Zappa/Erie, a 6-CD box documenting Frank Zappa and The Mothers' shows in the Erie, Pennsylvania area circa 1974-1976. An upcoming release due October 14 is a bit slimmer - just two CDs - but no less interesting as it chronicles Zappa and the band's visit to an even more far-flung locale in the fall of 1975. Zappa '75: Zagreb/Ljubljana captures The Mothers' first and only concerts in Yugoslavia. He referred to the dates as "The Mothers of
