When You're Smiling: Impex Returns to "Sing and Dance with Frank Sinatra" with Lavish 1STEP Box
Roughly four years ago, the Impex label revisited Sing and Dance with Frank Sinatra in both hybrid mono SACD and deluxe LP formats. The 1950 album was a landmark in the legendary vocalist's career. After he released the very first pop long-playing record with Columbia's 1948 reissue of The Voice of Frank Sinatra, he took advantage of the format with Sing and Dance. Initially available as a set of four 10-inch 78s or a single 33-1/3 RPM record, the album saw Sinatra at the dawn of his

Run for Home: Lindisfarne's "Mercury Years" Collected on Box from Cherry Red, Lemon
With a sound melding harmony vocals to soaring folk-rock, Newcastle upon Tyne band Lindisfarne released three studio albums - including the 1972 breakthrough Fog on the Tyne, which spent 56 weeks on the U.K. Albums Chart - before splintering. Two-fifths of the band carried on with new members for a pair of albums in 1973-74, but by '75, the group had called it a day. Then, in 1978, they were back. The album was cheekily entitled Back and Fourth, referring to the fact that the originals had

Love in Store: Fleetwood Mac Collect 'Mirage Tour' Recordings

A New Day: Varese Brings Randy Newman's "Pleasantville" to Vinyl
Writer-director Gary Ross' 1998 fantasy Pleasantville transported modern-day high school students and twin siblings David (Tobey Maguire) and Jennifer (Reese Witherspoon) into the 1950s sitcom of the same name, where the pair proves to be the catalyst for the fictional community's shift from buttoned-up black-and-white to provocative color. To compose the score to his high-concept film, Ross turned to a master of both satire and Americana: acclaimed singer-songwriter Randy Newman. His richly

When The Weather Is High: Mungo Jerry's "Electronically Tested" Returns from 7a Records on CD, LP

In Memoriam: Intrada Founder Douglass Fake (1952-2024)
Douglass Fake, a film score champion who produced hundreds of archival soundtrack releases and reissues as the founder of Intrada Records, has died at 72 after an extended illness.

Review: Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention, "Whisky a Go Go 1968"
Frank Zappa didn't open his first set on the evening of July 23, 1968 at Hollywood's Whisky a Go Go with a power chord or a blues beat. Instead, the band - Ray Collins (vocals, percussion), Ian Underwood (alto sax), Bunk Gardner (tenor sax, flute), Don Preston (keyboards, gong), Motorhead Sherwood (baritone sax, percussion), Roy Estrada (bass, vocals), Art Tripp (drum set, percussion), and Jimmy Carl Black (drum set, percussion) - opened with a clattering improvisation that was sure to separate
