In The Long Run: Eagles Announce Vinyl Reissues of "Live," "Long Road Out of Eden," and "Millennium Concert"
Few captured the spirit of the '70s like California's own Eagles, whose multiplatinum double-album live document Eagles Live joins the 2007 two-disc comeback album Long Road Out of Eden and the hard-to-find release The Millennium Concert in a batch of new, 180-gram vinyl reissues due April 2. 1980's Eagles Live remains a beloved document of two of the band's tours, recorded in California in 1976 and 1980.

Back to the Garden: Rhino Expands Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's "Déjà Vu" In New Box Set
Crosby, Stills, and Nash's eponymous debut was one of the most auspicious and omnipresent records of 1969, a remarkable and harmony-rich affair featuring such era-defining material as "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," "Marrakesh Express," "Guinnevere," "Wooden Ships," "Long Time Gone," and "Helplessly Hoping." CSN blended folk, country, jazz, rock, and a dash of pop into an often-imitated but never-duplicated sound. In the U.S. alone, the album reached No. 6 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and the top
Short Takes: "Fawlty Towers" Comes to Vinyl with Cleese Autograph; Judas Priest Plans Massive Box Set for Summer
Although only 12 episodes were made between 1975 and 1979, Fawlty Towers remains one of television's most beloved comedies. As recently as 2019, it was named the greatest ever British sitcom by Radio Times, and its magic has never been successfully duplicated. Three American remakes - starring Harvey Korman and Betty White (the pilot-only Chateau Snavely, 1978), Bea Arthur (Amanda's, 1983), and John Larroquette and JoBeth Williams (Payne, 1999) - all failed to recapture the spirit of the

My Song: Keith Jarrett's Improvised "Sun Bear Concerts" Receives Deluxe 10-LP Reissue
Few artists have transformed the landscape of jazz music in quite the same way as Keith Jarrett. Over the course six decades, Jarrett revolutionized piano music as a sideman to Miles Davis, Charles Lloyd, and others, and as a bandleader in his own right. But some of his most captivating recordings present him alone onstage, building thrilling and beautiful pieces that are entirely improvised. One need only look toward his stellar run of ECM recordings releases - among them The Köln Concert

Bob Wills, The King of Western Swing, is back. Almost seven years ago, Real Gone Music issued Riding Your Way: The Lost Transcriptions for Tiffany Music 1946-1947.

Listen to the Band: Andrew Sandoval Reveals "The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story" In June
Since its publication in 2005, author Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story has been an indispensable reference tool for fans of Davy, Micky, Peter, and Michael - not to mention one helluva read. But as the years passed, the guide to all things Monkees went out of print, with secondhand copies fetching in the three-figure range. Happily, Sandoval has returned to the book for a completely new edition due this June. We were thrilled to have the chance to speak with the author
Propinquity: 7a Records Announces Micky's "Dolenz Sings Nesmith" For May Release
Micky Dolenz and Michael Nesmith have shared a musical journey together since 1966 when The Monkees first hit the NBC airwaves and the group's chart-topping debut album arrived in stores on the Colgems label.

The result is Dolenz

Second Chance: Cherry Red, Lemon Collect Bon Scott's Fraternity on "Seasons of Change: The Complete Recordings 1970-1974"
Before achieving international fame as the high-powered vocalist of AC/DC, Bon Scott earned his bona fides in his native Australia - first with The Valentines and then with Fraternity. A few years back, Cherry Red's RPM imprint traced Scott's journey with the pop-oriented Valentines. Now, the Lemon imprint has collected his work with Fraternity in a new 3-CD box set Season of Change: The Complete Recordings 1970-1974 which includes an entire disc of never-before-released
Second Disc Records, Real Gone Music Premiere Michael Nesmith's "Different Drum: The Lost RCA Victor Recordings" on CD in April
The Second Disc is proud to announce the first Second Disc Records/Real Gone Music release of 2021 - and it's one that's been years in the making! Michael Nesmith has always travelled to the beat of a "Different Drum"-whether as the writer of that classic hit for Linda Ronstadt and The Stone Poneys, the wool hat-clad member of The Monkees, or one of the earliest progenitors of the country-rock genre.

In early 1962, Martin teamed with Maddalena Fagandini of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop to record a pair of

It's Good To Be King: Tom Petty Rarities Get Standalone Release on "Finding Wildflowers (Alternate Versions)" Due April 16
Tom Petty's 1994 solo album Wildflowers yielded the instant classics "You Don't Know How It Feels," "You Wreck Me," and of course the enduring title track. But there was much more material from those sessions which ultimately sat on the shelves until last year's excellent Wildflowers & All The Rest box set.

Red Hot: Mary Wilson's Solo Debut Receives First-Ever Reissue with New Expanded Edition
When news came of Mary Wilson's passing on the evening of February 8, 2021, a collective gasp could be heard around the world. Wilson was planning for an active 2021 once it was safe to resume performing, including a tour with B.J. Thomas and the release of previously unheard recordings. In her final message to fans shared on YouTube, the legendary Supreme confirmed that "I finally decided how to work with Universal, and they are going to release new Mary Wilson recordings. Yes!

I Found Out: John and Yoko's "Plastic Ono Band" Box Due in April
The July 1969 single release of John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance" marked the first time that the name of the Plastic Ono Band appeared on a record label. Lennon and his new wife Yoko Ono - they'd married in March - resolved to use the flexible band handle for whichever group happened to be playing with them; the onstage document Live Peace in Toronto 1969 was credited to the band, as was the harrowing single "Cold Turkey." "Instant Karma!" modified the name slightly to "John Lennon and Yoko
"It's What's Happening, Baby!" Historic, All-Star Music Special Returns To TV After 55 Years
It's What's Happening, Baby! That's the name of the 1965 television special hosted by influential New York disk jockey Murray Kaufman, a.k.a. Murray The K.
