A new reissue from Legacy Recordings - one with an extremely long lead time - will revisit the ascendance of the Backstreet Boys to the top of a crop of late '90s and early '00s boy bands. The quintet's 1999 blockbuster Millennium will be celebrated for its belated 25th anniversary with a new 2CD, 2LP and digital set that pairs the original album with a baker's dozen rare and unreleased tracks, including B-sides, demos, live cuts and the new track "Hey." The album will be out July 11 (yes,

In Memoriam: Roberta Flack (1937-2025)
Even Robert Christgau couldn't get it right all the time. The self-professed "dean of American rock critics" sniffed at Roberta Flack's Quiet Fire in 1971 thusly: "Flack is generally regarded as the most significant new black woman singer since Aretha Franklin, and at moments she sounds kind, intelligent, and very likable. But she often exhibits the gratuitous gentility you'd expect of someone who says 'between you and I.'" At this juncture, Flack was three albums into a tenure with Atlantic

CD Alert: Small Disc Breakouts from Box Sets and More Coming from Warner
Rather than update our original posts, we felt this Friday was a good time to inform readers of a trio of modest CD sets that represent some great archival audio from bigger releases by Rhino and Warner Music in the past few years. Last summer, Rhino continued a surprising amount of catalogue from the latter portion of Van Halen's celebrated career - the period in the mid '80s and '90s when former Montrose vocalist Sammy Hagar took over for original singer David Lee Roth - with an expansion
Do Ya, Do Ya Want This Disc? The Move's Transition to Something Electric Comes Alive from Esoteric
The final works from British rockers The Move were relatively ignored by everyone, including the band themselves - until listeners started to realize how it marked the trio's transition into a whole new sound. Cherry Red's Esoteric label will revisit the group's fourth album Message from the Country in a newly remastered and expanded package, available February 28. The Move started life as a harmony-rich quintet from Birmingham in the late '60s, enjoying a half dozen Top 10s on the U.K.

Soundtrack Watch: 'Rain Man,' 'Quigley,' 'English Patient' Set for Reissues
A breakthrough for one of Hollywood's biggest composers, a cult classic Western and an Oscar-winning '90s film are among the film scores being revisited by some of our favorite reissue labels this month.
