Right Now, You're Reading About a Van Halen Reissue
For the first time ever, Rhino is expanding a Van Halen studio album. On July 12, the label will release a 2CD/2LP/Blu-ray edition of For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, the group's ninth album and penultimate with lead singer Sammy Hagar, who'd taken over from David Lee Roth in 1985. As a major upstart rock act of the late '70s and one of the biggest of the '80s, Van Halen had something to prove on their first disc of the '90s - and this set delivers some intriguing bonus material from the era.

Crazy (Over You): Esoteric Expands "Baby James Harvest" With New Stereo and Surround Mixes, More
Esoteric Recordings' refresh of the Barclay James Harvest catalogue has seen deluxe expansions of most of the prog-rock heroes' classic-era albums. In fall 2023, Esoteric got around to the band's fourth and final album for EMI's Harvest Records. 1972's Baby James Harvest, often considered a weak link in a strong run of LPs, can now be reevaluated in a 4CD/1Blu-ray edition containing the remastered original stereo mix; a new stereo mix; copious bonus tracks; a full concert in mono and stereo;

Setlists would be scaled to the size of each venue, with the theatre settings giving the band the most freedom to perform lesser-known gems in addition to their major hits. On March 8, Mercury
Holiday Gift Guide Review: Prince and The New Power Generation, 'Diamonds and Pearls (Super Deluxe Edition)'
I. Come On, Save Your Soul Tonight In the years since Prince's tragic death in 2016, one of the more shocking events in catalogue history has occurred: the construction of a cottage industry surrounding his vast recorded output - both his dozens of released albums and countless tracks rumored to exist in the mythic vault at his Paisley Park recording complex. As a lucrative artist who left no will, the matters of his heirs were not settled until 2022. In those intervening years - with only a

The Hills Are Alive! 'The Sound of Music' Goes Super Deluxe for the Holidays
By any standard, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II, Howard Lindsay, and Russel Crouse's The Sound of Music was a bona fide success from the moment the curtain rose at Broadway's Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on November 16, 1959. The production starring Mary Martin and Theodore Bikel was described by The New York Times' Brooks Atkinson as a "bountiful musical drama" with an "endless fund of cheerful melodies." It won five Tony Awards (besting stiff competition from Arthur Laurents, Jule Styne, and
