Following an acclaimed, Grammy-winning deluxe edition of Wilco's mainstream breakthrough Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, the same creative team will assemble a similar set for 2004 follow-up A Ghost is Born. The deluxe set - made up of either nine CDs or nine LPs and four CDs - packages the album alongside 65 previously unreleased tracks, including two sets of studio outtakes, a live concert and seven "fundamentals" from the band's recorded workshops during this same period. A 48-page hardcover book
Gotta Get In to Get Out: Genesis' 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' Set for Deluxe Edition Next Year
Genesis will revisit one of their most beloved albums - and their final bow with original vocalist Peter Gabriel - in a new box set next year.

Inside the box will be a new remaster of the original mix of the album, done by Miles Showell with
Holiday Gift Guide Review: Elvis Costello, "King of America and Other Realms"
It was a fine idea at the time/Now it's a brilliant mistake... Elvis Costello delivered a powerful surprise in 1986 when he shed his backing band, The Attractions, and teamed up with T Bone Burnett for King of America. Originally credited in the U.K. to The Costello Show (Featuring The Attractions and Confederates) and in the U.S. to The Costello Show (Featuring Elvis Costello), the album backtracked from the sleek '80s polish of its two immediate predecessors (Punch the Clock and Goodbye

Review: Frank Zappa, "apostrophe ('): 50th Anniversary Edition"
Strictly commercial? Not quite. Though Frank Zappa earned his first top ten record and first Gold record with apostrophe (') - the same LP that spun off his first single to make the Billboard Hot 100 - it would be difficult to argue that the singer-songwriter-bandleader had dramatically altered his art in an effort to hit the charts. Sure, the material was a bit more focused and the album rather tight at 32 minutes in length. Yeah, the cover artwork, with its instantly recognizable,
Mama, Cradle Me Again: Madfish Collects Laura Nyro Albums, Rarities on New CD Box
Over three years after the release of its 8LP vinyl box set American Dreamer 1967-1978, the Madfish label is returning to the discography of late singer-songwriter Laura Nyro for the December 6 release of Hear My Song: The Collection 1966-1995. Whereas American Dreamer chronicled Nyro's first decade of music, the 19CD Hear My Song is a career-spanning appreciation of the artist who influenced such talents as Elton John, Barry Manilow, Todd Rundgren, Stephen Schwartz, Rickie Lee Jones, Melissa

Set the Night on Fire: The Doors Announce 60th Anniversary Campaign
2025 marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of The Doors. Though the eponymous debut album from Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore didn't hit stores until January 1967, the foursome was already a seasoned one, having served as house band at the famed Whisky a Go Go since mid-1966. To celebrate 60 years since that fateful day when Manzarek met his old UCLA classmate Morrison on a California beach and the two decided to form a band, Rhino has announced a number of
Wild and Crazy: Rhino Collects Steve Martin's Comedy Albums
There aren't many comedians funnier than Steve Martin. Though the gray-haired funnyman only spent the better part of a decade performing as a stand-up before pursuing acting, writing, and even bluegrass originals, Martin's brilliant blend of highbrow, lowbrow and absurdist humor made him one of the most head-turning entertainers of his generation. Rhino Records will celebrate his funniest sides with a new box set in November. Steve in a Box: The Warner Years (1977-1981) brings together all

This box, of course, supersedes a 1999 double-disc collection of BBC highlights, offering

Pictures Came and Broke Your Heart: Cherry Red to Release Bruce Woolley and The Camera Club Collection
Everyone knows the story: at the stroke of midnight on August 1, 1981, the new cable station Music Television (MTV) first aired, playing a steady stream of heretofore little-seen "music videos" that redefined pop music for the rest of the decade. Their first, of course, was The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star": a prescient choice, though not even a single from the '80s (it topped the U.K. charts and dented the U.S. Top 40 in 1979!) - and, as a new collection from Cherry Red underlines, The
Needless to Say: Al Stewart's "Past, Present and Future" Goes Deluxe From Esoteric
Al Stewart fans have been rather well-served in recent years. The historically-minded troubadour recently released a new live album with the band The Empty Pockets, preserving a concert set on 2 CDs. Earlier this summer, Al received a volume of Rhino's Now Playing series of vinyl compilations. Last year, TSD teamed up with Real Gone Music for Songs on the Radio: The Complete U.S. Singles 1974-1981, and in 2022, Madfish issued The Admiralty Lights, a massive 50-CD box set featuring (almost)

Try Some, Buy Some: George Harrison's "Living in the Material World" Gets Expanded For Its 50th
As the studio follow-up to his landmark triple album All Things Must Pass, George Harrison further explored his spiritual and physical selves on 1973's leaner Living in the Material World. On November 15, the album will return from Dark Horse and BMG in a belated 50th anniversary edition comprising 2 CDs, 2 LPs, and a Blu-ray. It's limited to 5,000 units worldwide.

I'll Wear It Proudly: Elvis Costello Coronates 'King of America' for New Box Set
When King of America became Rhino's penultimate Elvis Costello reissue in 2005, a hype sticker cheekily hailed it as "the album that fans, critics and Elvis Costello all agree on." Perhaps that's why it'll be the next of his classic albums to receive a deluxe box set this fall. King of America and Other Realms, available November 1, follows the super deluxe, vinyl-and-digital-only The Complete Armed Forces box; however, this one's primarily available on CD - six of 'em, in total. The
This Time La Luna: Duran Duran Expand 'Danse Macabre' One Year from Its Original Release
As we get closer to the time when there's a chill in the air and a penchant for "spooky season," Duran Duran are getting back into the spirit with an expanded version of their last album, meant to celebrate all things strange and unusual. 2023's Danse Macabre came just two years after the release of Future Past in 2021 - the shortest gap between new LPs from the band since the mid-'90s. The band were certainly riding high: Future Past was a celebration of what made the Birmingham group so
