October 22, 2026 by Joe Marchese | 9 Comments

October 9 would have been John Lennon’s 86th birthday. Though Lennon was tragically killed the age of the 40, the music he created in his too-short lifetime continues to endure. Mercury Studios, Universal Music Group, and Sean Ono Lennon marked John’s birthday with the announcement that the 2026 film Power to the People, capturing John and Yoko Ono’s 1972 Madison Square Garden “One to One” shows, will be coming to Blu-ray on April 9, 2027 in a variety of formats.

Review: The Beatles, “Rubber Soul: 60th Anniversary Edition”

October 1, 2026 by Joe Marchese | 11 Comments

“Standards are cruelly high at the top,” George Harrison observed in a May 1965 interview. “Every time we get a record released, it has to go to No. 1. If it doesn’t, we’ll be slipping.” Today, we take for granted that The Beatles certainly didn’t slip. Just months later, on October 12, the group started sessions for what would become their sixth original U.K. studio album: Rubber Soul. Yet more than just charting further No. 1s – the album itself went to that position in both the U.K. and U.S., and the…

Just When You Thought It Was Safe…Intrada Delivers ‘JAWS 2,’ ‘Battlestar Galactica’ Reissues

September 29, 2026 by Mike Duquette | 2 Comments

Intrada (hopefully) kicks off a robust fall for soundtrack collectors with the recent unveiling of two projects from the Universal Studios library released in 1978: one offering a box set of beloved sci-fi TV music, the other presenting a new release of a legendary composer’s first score for a sequel (the predecessor of which earned him an Oscar). Up first is that pretty fracking cool box set: Battlestar Galactica (The Classic Series Soundtrack Collection), an 8CD anthology featuring new presentations of the best of Stu Phillips’ long-unavailable music from the heroic outer space…

The Music Of The Night: “Phantom of the Opera” Returns in Remixed, Expanded Edition

September 21, 2026 by Randy Fairman | 2 Comments

From the moment the original London production of Andrew Lloyd Webber, Charles Hart, and Richard Stilgoe’s Phantom of the Opera opened at Her Majesty’s Theatre on October 9, 1986, it was clear that the sweepingly romantic musical was a juggernaut. Directed by Harold Prince, the production combined innovative stagecraft with proudly old-fashioned musical melodrama, and forty years on, it’s still packing houses at Her – now His! – Majesty’s Theatre. The original cast recording featuring Michael Crawford as the Phantom, Sarah Brightman as Christine Daaé, and Steve Barton as Raoul, along with…
