Rhino's Talking Heads revisitation won't end with Stop Making Sense - they'll release a new deluxe box set of the group's 1977 debut album, featuring rare outtakes and B-sides, a live show and the album remixed in Dolby Atmos and surround, as overseen by the band's keyboardist/guitarist Jerry Harrison. Available November 8, the super deluxe edition of Talking Heads: 77 will come in hardcover book packaging that'll feature 80 pages of rare archival photos and liner notes written by all four
I'll Wear It Proudly: Elvis Costello Coronates 'King of America' for New Box Set
When King of America became Rhino's penultimate Elvis Costello reissue in 2005, a hype sticker cheekily hailed it as "the album that fans, critics and Elvis Costello all agree on." Perhaps that's why it'll be the next of his classic albums to receive a deluxe box set this fall. King of America and Other Realms, available November 1, follows the super deluxe, vinyl-and-digital-only The Complete Armed Forces box; however, this one's primarily available on CD - six of 'em, in total. The
This Time La Luna: Duran Duran Expand 'Danse Macabre' One Year from Its Original Release
As we get closer to the time when there's a chill in the air and a penchant for "spooky season," Duran Duran are getting back into the spirit with an expanded version of their last album, meant to celebrate all things strange and unusual. 2023's Danse Macabre came just two years after the release of Future Past in 2021 - the shortest gap between new LPs from the band since the mid-'90s. The band were certainly riding high: Future Past was a celebration of what made the Birmingham group so

Donna Summer's Classic 'On the Radio' Collection Gets Turned Up
At the end of the '70s, to cap an incredible run as one of disco's biggest divas, Donna Summer issued On the Radio: Greatest Hits Volume I & Volume II, a double album collecting more than a dozen of her biggest singles to date. This fall, Summer's reissue label Driven by the Music will revisit that set in a whole new way, creating a career-spanning, radio-ready overview of her complete career. On the Radio: Greatest Hits (Expanded), due out November 15, is a 2CD set offering 40 of
Look Out, Ol' Frankie's Back: Sinatra's Final Solo Album Gets Remixed and Expanded for 40th Anniversary
Start spreading the news! Frank Sinatra may have taken John Kander and Fred Ebb's timeless "(Theme From) New York, New York" to the charts, but the Chairman of the Board also had a soft spot for the City of Angels. In 1984, he teamed with the legendary Quincy Jones, fresh off a little 1982 album called Thriller, to craft what would become the final solo studio album of Sinatra's extraordinary career. On October 25, Frank Sinatra Enterprises and UMe will reissue L.A. Is My Lady in a remixed

Joy in Repetition: Cherry Red's 'Dearly Beloved' Pays Tribute to Prince, the Songwriter
Between the muted 40th anniversary celebration of Purple Rain and the bizarre drama over an estate-sanctioned Netflix documentary on his life and career, Prince fans could probably use a win lately. A new compilation from Cherry Red looks like it might finally offer one. Dearly Beloved - A Prince Songbook is an unexpectedly robust-looking 3CD set that will pay tribute to the Minneapolis icon as a songwriter - one whose classic hits have become pop standards, with so much talent overflowing

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers' 'Long After Dark' Gets Lucky on New Deluxe Edition
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers' fifth studio album is getting a deluxe makeover.

(Those 12 tracks
Review: John Lennon, "Mind Games: The Ultimate Collection"
It's been quite a while since the last John Lennon "Ultimate" box set. Imagine arrived in 2018, followed by Plastic Ono Band in 2021; the multi-disc solo anthology Gimme Some Truth: The Ultimate Mixes was released in between, in 2020. Anticipation justly ran high for this year's Mind Games: The Ultimate Collection, a 6CD/2BD set exploring every aspect of the solo Beatle's 1974 fourth album. (The politically-charged Some Time in New York City, a hybrid live/studio LP from John and Yoko, has
Light in the Attic Compiles Lou Reed's Earliest Work for Pickwick Records
For most people - let's say the 30,000 or so people who started a band after buying their debut - The Velvet Underground was the band that introduced the world to the uncompromising rock energy of Lou Reed. As the latest archival title of his released by Light in the Attic Records will illustrate, Reed's talents were first put on record in a possibly more unusual place than with The VU. Why Don't You Smile Now: Lou Reed At Pickwick Records 1964-1965 will serve as the first official anthology
Touch My Heart: Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Expands "From Where I Stand: The Black Experience in Country Music" Box Set

The 3-CD box set was divided into three thematic discs - The Stringband Era, The Soul Country Years, and Forward with Pride - which reflected on the immense contributions of African-Americans to country music in 60 songs. Today, the spotlight shines even more brightly on the black experience in the genre, in no small part due to the release earlier
The Best Gift: Barbra Streisand's Two Christmas Albums Arrive on Vinyl in October
Barbra Streisand entered London's Olympic Sound Studios in June 1966 while reprising her role of Fanny Brice in the West End premiere of Funny Girl to begin work on what would become her very first Christmas album. Four songs arranged by Ray Ellis and produced by Ettore Strata were cut at the session including "Silent Night" and the Gounod setting of "Ave Maria."

Originally recorded in 1983 and first released in 1999, In Session features the six-stringers trading licks on a Canadian television program of the same name, when King was a 60-year-old living legend and Vaughan a young upstart who'd turned heads with his licks on David Bowie's Let's Dance before releasing his own powerful
