Cream, Goodbye Tour Live 1968 (Polydor/UMC) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada) This new 4-CD box set expands on Cream's farewell album Goodbye Cream, but with a twist: it drops the three studio tracks and instead presents four complete concerts including the Los Angeles Forum show from which the original three live cuts on Goodbye were culled.

Cherry Red Round-Up: Complete Box Sets Celebrate The Honeycombs, The Meters
The Honeycombs weren't quite a one-hit wonder. The stomping "Have I the Right?" established the group, under the aegis of maverick producer Joe Meek, when it topped the U.K. Singles Chart in the summer of 1964. But its follow-ups barely squeaked into the top 40, and a No. 12 placement for "That's the Way" was too little, too late to bolster the group's fortunes. These showings, however, were no reflection on the band's quality. For one of its final releases, Cherry Red's RPM imprint has
Can't Stop The Music: Edsel Preps Village People Box Set
Put on your costumes and get ready to dance: Edsel's releasing a CD box set of all the albums from disco hitmakers Village People. True to its name, The Album Collection 1977-1985 includes the complete discography from the infamous sextet, issued primarily on the Casablanca and later RCA Victor labels. A total of nine albums are featured, including the double-disc Live and Sleazy. All discs are packaged in miniature replicas of their original album sleeves; both Live and Sleazy and 1980's
What a Buzz! La-La Land Premieres Goldsmith's 'The Swarm,' Expands Williams' 'Far and Away'
La-La Land Records kicks off March with a killer pair of archival score releases by two of the most famous film composers of all time! The label will premiere Jerry Goldsmith's oft-requested The Swarm (1978) and expand John Williams' underrated Far and Away (1992) this month. Having kicked off a disaster movie craze in the '70s by producing The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno (both of which featured scores by Williams that were recently given deluxe treatment in a box set from
Thunder Sun: Lost Tapes From Fingerstyle Guitarist Robbie Basho Collected by Real Gone Music
A lost session from a revered acoustic guitarist, Robbie Basho, is set to arrive April 3 from Real Gone Music. Songs of the Great Mystery: The Lost Vanguard Sessions adds a new chapter to the man's work that's sure to stun fans and new initiates, too. On the Mount Rushmore of innovative acoustic guitar players, you'd likely find John Fahey, Leo Kottke, Michael Hedges...and one Robbie Basho. Though he never rose to the same prominence as Kottke or Fahey (who signed Basho to the Takoma
Mystic Lady: Modern Harmonic Reissues Nancy Priddy's "You've Come This Way Before"
Nancy Priddy titled her 1968 Dot Records LP You've Come This Way Before but the actress-singer actually hadn't followed many footsteps in creating her debut album. Modern Harmonic, which has just reissued it on a splendid new vinyl pressing, describes the lost gem as "Dreamy Psych Baroque Pop." Throw in folk, jazz, psychedelia, and sunshine pop, and you have an idea of this ambitious, offbeat, and altogether trippy curio on which the underground met the mainstream. Priddy's own story is a
Things Are Swingin': "Ultimate Peggy Lee" Arrives in April
Smoky, sensual, sultry, confident, commanding...there has never been a voice quite like that of Peggy Lee. A triple threat singer/songwriter/actress, Lee had a remarkable career in music spanning over fifty years. She scored her first chart-topper in 1942 and her final recordings were released in 1995, seven years before her death in 2002. She was an Academy Award-nominated actress (Pete Kelly's Blues), a 13-time Grammy nominee (and two-time recipient), and a talented songwriter whose
A New Sound: El Collects the Far-Out Music That Inspired Sixties Rock
For years, the El imprint of Cherry Red has been collecting all the strangest and most fascinating avant-garde classical pieces, electronic experiments, and oddball rarities for a fervent group of admirers. Though their releases can be a little esoteric, El's collections have always been able to welcome in new listeners. And now, they offer what might be the essential introduction to twentieth-century avant-garde and classical (at least for listeners tuned to popular music). It's called I'd
Dionne Warwick's "Déjà Vu: The Arista Recordings" Box Out Today from Cherry Red, SoulMusic
UPDATED 2/28: Earlier this week, the popular competition show The Masked Singer unmasked The Mouse. But to anyone who's ever listened to a radio over the past 50-plus years, there was no need for a reveal. It was obvious that, underneath the giant mouse head, was the voice of only one person: the inimitable Dionne Warwick. Over 40 years ago, Warwick left Warner Bros. Records and signed to Clive Davis' Arista label to begin a new chapter in her remarkable career. Today, Cherry Red's SoulMusic
Short Takes, Broadway Edition: London "Annie" Comes to CD, Kritzerland Continues "Revisited," and Mondo Has "Bathtubs"
The sun will come out tomorrow...because that's the release date for Stage Door Records' world premiere CD release of the Original London Cast Recording of Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse, and Martin Charnin's beloved musical Annie. A little over a year after its smash, Tony Award-winning debut on Broadway, Annie opened in the West End at the Victoria Palace Theatre (today the home of Hamilton). While original star Andrea McArdle repeated her performance for the first 40 performances, the role of
I Sing To Know I'm Alive: Lost Nina Simone Classic Reissued on CD, LP in April
Few singers could conjure as much emotion through words and tone as Nina Simone. While many of her best-known albums from the '60s and '70s have become widely available in recent years, music from her ex-U.S. years have been much harder to find. Among the most sought-after is Fodder On My Wings, a 1982 album originally released on the French label Carrere. Decades out-of-print on a major label, the album will be re-released by Verve and UMe - complete with new cover art - on April 3. Whether
Our Night to Howl: Andy Williams' "Emperor of Easy: Lost Columbia Masters 1962-1972" Collects Unreleased Tracks, Rarities
With all apologies to Christmas, March just might be the most wonderful time of the year to be an Andy Williams fan. On March 27, Real Gone Music will release the first-ever collection of never-before-heard music from Andy's Columbia Records years. Emperor of Easy: Lost Columbia Masters 1962-72 boasts 20 selections direct from the Columbia vault encompassing 16 previously unreleased studio outtakes and four rare singles.

Tell Mama: Real Gone Prepares Reissues from Grateful Dead, Martha Velez, and Sopwith Camel
If blues-rock, jams, and prog are your bag, you'll want to mark March 27 on your calendar. Real Gone Music is set to release a hard-to-find Bay Area pysch-rock LP from Sopwith Camel, a stellar blues-rock effort by Martha Velez featuring music royalty, and the latest entry in their Grateful Dead reissue series with Road Trips Vol. 3, No. 2: Austin 11/15/71. The Grateful Dead title arrives as a 2-CD set, presenting a smoldering show performed not long after Keith Godchaux joined the band.
Hidden Depth: Cherry Red, Esoteric Expand "The End of the Game" from Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green
The End of the Game, influential blues guitarist and Fleetwood Mac co-founder Peter Green's 1970 proper debut album, should have marked a beginning rather than the promised end. But Green's title was prescient; he didn't return with another album for almost a decade even as his old band skyrocketed to superstardom. Cherry Red's Esoteric Recordings imprint has just returned The End of the Game to CD in a single-disc, expanded edition. Green entered the studio for The End of the Game under
Lost in The Future: The Stooges' "Fun House" Receives 50th Anniversary, 15-LP Reissue

Now, the label will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Fun House with a luxurious vinyl box set, due July 17. Fun House - 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition includes a newly remastered 2-LP, 45rpm presentation of the landmark album alongside the vinyl debut of the Complete Fun House Sessions. Available exclusively through Rhino.com, the
I'm a Believer: 7a Records Brings Micky Dolenz's "Live in Japan" to CD, DVD, and LP
Last year, 7a Records - the label dedicated to all things Monkees - chronicled the early 1980s rise of Monkeemania in Japan with the release of Davy Jones' Live in Japan. On May 8, 7a will celebrate another Monkee solo tour from that era with Micky Dolenz's own Live in Japan. Like Davy's entry, Micky's release will be available in CD/DVD and vinyl LP formats. Early 1982 saw Dolenz make the trip to Japan where he embarked on his first tour as a solo artist. Much as Jones had adopted the
Take A Step Back: Simple Minds Revisit Their 'Street Fighting Years' On New Box
On March 6, UMC will revisit Simple Minds' 1989 album with Street Fighting Years to the tune of a 4-CD box set. The cinematic Trevor Horn and Stephen Lipson-produced LP featured the band's first U.K. No. 1, "Belfast Child," even as the group underwent personnel changes. This expanded edition is the latest in UMC's ongoing Simple Minds reissue series and features a newly remastered version of the album (undertaken by Andrew Walters at Abbey Road Studios) alongside a disc of B-sides, edits and
U're Gonna C Me: New Wave of Prince Reissues Includes Live Box Set

The 2-LP or 2-CD set draws from recently discovered tapes of performances at the Michigan Palace
Shake a Tail Feather! RPM Collects Complete Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels
Between 1965 and 1968, Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels scored a series of hits on producer-impresario Bob Crewe's DynoVoice and New Voice labels. With the prolific Crewe at the helm, Ryder's records featured a fiery blend of blue-eyed soul and pure, high-adrenaline rock-and-roll. Mitch Ryder (real name: William Levise, Jr.) set the stage for Michigan rockers from Bob Seger to Grand Funk Railroad to conquer the charts. For one of its final releases, Cherry Red's RPM imprint has celebrated the
Hard Luck Stories: Richard and Linda Thompson Albums Get Vinyl Reissue
Guitarist, songwriter, and singer Richard Thompson and his then-wife, the rich-toned singer Linda Thompson, released an incredible trio of albums for Island Records in the '70s: I Want To See the Bright Lights Tonight (1974), Hokey Pokey, and Pour Down Like Silver (both 1975). On March 27, these three much-loved folk-rock records will arrive on vinyl once more, this time on new 180-gram pressings. For those who have heard these albums before, they need no introduction.
