Between their time as half of the head-turning British rock band 10cc and a whole new career as innovative music video directors, Godley & Creme carved out a unique discography as a duo. It's one that Edsel will revisit in a soon-to-be-released box set called Parts of the Process: The Complete Godley & Creme. Due for release this Friday, February 28, Parts of the Process is an 11CD set that offers the duo's seven studio releases - Consequences (1977), L (1978), Freeze

Not Just a Mirage: Esoteric Offers Expanded, Remixed Albums by Prog Rockers Camel

This is What You Need: INXS Remix and Expand 'Listen Like Thieves'
INXS' breakthrough album is getting the red carpet treatment for its 40th anniversary. The Australian group's 1985 effort Listen Like Thieves is getting a multi-format reissue this spring...and while it will be available around the world, there's a slight catch: each format has different and unique bonus material.

Release Yourself from Misery: Pete Townshend Collects Solo Albums (But No Bonus Tracks) for New Box
A prequel of sorts to UMC's box set of Pete Townshend live recordings is coming this spring: a simple collection of eight of his studio works. The Studio Albums brings together new CD pressings of Who Came First (1972), the Ronnie Lane collaboration Rough Mix (1977), Empty Glass (1980), All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes (1982), White City (A Novel) (1985), Iron Man (1989) and versions of Pyschoderelict (1993) with and without dialogue.

Power Up! 'Super Mario' Music Comes to CD and Vinyl
Video game music - particularly of a certain vintage - is kind of hit or miss in the physical catalogue space or otherwise, so it gives us pleasure to point out a few upcoming releases of music old, new and otherwise from Nintendo's venerable Super Mario series on CD and vinyl. Available for the first time as a sprawling 3LP set, Warner Music Japan will make available the original soundtrack album to 1990's Super Mario World - the plucky plumber's first side-scrolling adventure for the 16-bit

In Memoriam: Garth Hudson (1937-2025)
This morning, it was announced that Garth Hudson, 87, had died in a Woodstock, New York nursing home. Hudson was the last surviving member of The Band, and with his passing, an era has come to a close. Though best known for his virtuosic organ playing, Hudson was a multi-instrumentalist who brought various colors to The Band's rootsy, organic brand of Americana. Hudson's sound tapped into the many veins of American popular music and could, by turns, conjure a raucous revival, a whimsical

The story of the Sex Pistols' final tour - and ultimate undoing - will be told in new releases coming from UMC in March. Live in the U.S.A. 1978 will mark the first complete and official releases of three of the punk quartet's seven American concerts in January 1978. Presented for the first time in sequence are the tour's opener at the South East Music Hall in Atlanta, Georgia on January 5, a particularly raucous performance at Dallas, Texas' Longhorns Ballroom five days later, and the

Total Mass Retain: Rhino Reissues Yes' "Close to the Edge" in Super Deluxe Set
Yes' fifth album, Close to the Edge, continued the band's early winning streak. The 1972 release - their final album of the decade to feature drummer Bill Bruford and first to feature the band's now-famous "bubble" logo type - featured just three songs (two of which had multiple movements). But they were sufficiently power-packed as to propel the LP to top five berths in both the U.K. and U.S. and eventual Platinum sales status. On March 7, Rhino will revisit Close to the Edge as a
Love Changes (Everything): Cherry Pop Expands Climie Fisher Discography

Holiday Gift Guide Review: Joni Mitchell, "Archives: Volume Four (1976-1980)" and "The Asylum Albums (1976-1980)"
Earlier this year, Joni Mitchell brought her now-famous Joni Jam shows to the Hollywood Bowl for two sold-out evenings. A little more than 45 years ago, Mitchell closed out her North American tour with a series of shows some fifteen minutes away from the Bowl at the Greek Theatre; a selection from that concert closes the fourth volume of the Joni Mitchell Archives series of box sets. The Bowl shows proved another triumph for the artist who's now widely recognized for the innovations that
Holiday Gift Guide Review: Steve Martin, 'Steve in a Box'
At this point in time, CD box sets have been a going concern (especially around the holidays) for nearly 40 years. Thousands of them have been released, and with the unexpected shift toward listening on vinyl (who'd have thought?) and digital (particularly streaming, which has a near-total grasp on music consumption today), you've got to have a really strong angle to encourage fans to part with some extra money and add new titles to their shelves. What more can be done? you (and sometimes we at

Holiday Gift Guide Review: 'Mary Poppins: 60th Anniversary Collection'
I. In Every Job That Must Be Done, There is An Element of Fun When you're a child - no matter where you're from, or how perceptive you may be about such things - it's easy to get a sixth sense about something you watch or read and just feel is different from the rest of what you've watched or seen. The Wizard of Oz is that way for many people. So too is Mary Poppins, P.L. Travers' series of books about a magical nanny that was adapted into a colorful musical film by Walt Disney Studios in 1964.
