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.

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
Back in 1998, The Country Music Foundation teamed with Warner Bros. Records to release From Where I Stand: The Black Experience in Country Music. 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.

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

Soundtrack Watch: Intrada Detects 'Foul Play,' La-La Land's Big Sale
If you're a catalogue soundtrack enthusiast, you're usually always ready to take a chance again on a new pressing of an old favorite. Intrada's latest reissue is about to make that idea as literal as possible: a new remix and expansion of Charles Fox's score to the 1978 comedy Foul Play. Written and directed by Colin Higgins (who penned the script to Harold and Maude and later directed the comedy 9 to 5), Foul Play is a screwy Hitchcock homage about a librarian (Goldie Hawn) who gets mixed up
Two Sides of Cornbread: New Compilation Plays Tribute to Unsung Minneapolis Legend

A new compilation, produced by Harris' biographer, aims to change that. Anthology is an eight-track look into the musical career of James Harris, Jr., better known as Cornbread - a key figure and forefather in the Twin Cities' contribution to America's musical landscape.

In Memoriam: Peter Marshall (1926-2024)

The Right to Sing: Cherry Red's Lemon Imprint Collects John Miles' "The Albums 1983-93"
Singer-songwriter John Miles' 1976 hit "Music," the opening track of his Decca debut album Rebel, immediately became the artist's calling card. The Alan Parsons-produced single went to the top five on the U.K. Singles Chart, also reaching the top ten in various European countries, and cracking the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. The epic prog ballad won Miles an Ivor Novello Award, and launched Miles into the stratosphere. Two well-received albums with producer Rupert Holmes followed,
Maestro Around the World: John Williams' Late-Period Concert Albums Set for Vinyl Box
Last Sunday, August 11, John Williams added another honorific to his already incredible career: Disney Legend.

(The
The More I See You: Light in the Attic Reissues, Expands Nancy Sinatra's "Nancy in London"
Nancy Sinatra's third album brought the hitmaking singer to the Swingin' center of the world. Nancy in London, originally released in 1966, was produced and arranged by her usual team of Lee Hazlewood and Billy Strange, respectively, but the setting was very different than the typical Hollywood environs. Nancy was booked into Pye Studios on Great Cumberland Place near Marble Arch in London, the same studios in which Petula Clark had cut "Downtown" and Nancy's Reprise labelmates The Kinks

St. Jimmy, Re-Canonized: Green Day Prep 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of 'American Idiot'
With 20 years' hindsight, Green Day probably meant for their seventh studio album to be big. But nobody could have predicted just how big American Idiot got - and this year's latest addition to the year-end music box set line-up will showcase just how big with a package to match. American Idiot will come back into print with a new box set spanning four CDs (or eight colored LPs) and two Blu-ray Discs.
