With 1970's Benefit, Jethro Tull continued to refine their sound. The blues/jazz fusion of the band's debut This Was had already ceded to a more eclectic style on Stand Up; Benefit would edge Tull towards riff-rock while still maintaining the folk and jazz touchstones that set the band apart. Benefit ultimately became a best-seller, setting the stage for 1971's Aqualung and the even greater international successes that followed. In 2013, Benefit was expanded as a 2CD/DVD set featuring new

Direct from Hollywood: Frank Zappa's "200 Motels" Turns 50, Goes Super Deluxe
1971 was a banner year for cinema with such all-time classics as The French Connection, A Clockwork Orange, Carnal Knowledge, The Last Picture Show, and Shaft. The highest-grossing film of the year in North America was United Artists' Fiddler on the Roof. But Fiddler wasn't the studio's only musical of the year. Mere days before the Broadway adaptation hit cinemas, UA opened one of the most wild, inventive, outré, and unhinged films of the year: 200 Motels. Written, co-directed, and composed

Morning Has Broken: Cat Stevens' "Teaser and the Firecat" Goes Super Deluxe in November
In 1971, Cat Stevens, a.k.a. Yusuf Islam, built upon the success of his first two albums for Island Records (U.K.) and A&M Records (U.S.) with Teaser and the Firecat. Featuring three of the singer-songwriter's most beloved songs - "Peace Train," "Moonshadow," and an adaptation of the hymn "Morning Has Broken" - Teaser became his first U.K. and U.S. top five chart entry, reaching No. 2 on both charts.

Stop Your Sobbing: Rhino Expands First Two Pretenders Albums for 40th Anniversary
They may have called themselves The Pretenders, but Chrissie Hynde, James Honeyman-Scott, Pete Farndon, and Martin Chambers were as authentic as they come. The four-piece rock combo fused American and British styles (Hynde was the American émigré; the other three were British), bringing the swagger of punk to the craft of classic rock. The Pretenders' hip, seemingly effortless sound was crystallized on the band's first two records (not incidentally, the only two records with the original
Grapefruit Records Spotlight: Complete Collections Arrive from The Sorrows, Fire, and Tintern Abbey
Today, we're spotlighting three recent "Complete" collections from Cherry Red's Grapefruit imprint. "We played punk before punk was invented!" That quote by vocalist Don Fardon of The Sorrows opens up Grapefruit's new 4-CD set Pink Purple Yellow and Red: The Complete Sorrows. The R&B band formed in Coventry in 1963 and became a fixture on the mod scene; later, they were retroactively branded "freakbeat" for their aggressive and edgy style of R&B and rock and roll. Fardon, lead

Short Takes: More David Bowie Albums Come to Warner Music, Rod Stewart Announces New Album

Review: The Beach Boys, "Feel Flows: The Sunflower and Surf's Up Sessions 1969-1971"
Like a Companion for Your Lonely Soul Those placing the needle on The Beach Boys' Sunflower upon its release in 1970 might have been taken aback by the sheer drive of its opening track. The lusty "Slip on Through" - co-written, produced, and primarily sung by Dennis Wilson - rocked harder than just about anything else in the band's discography to that point. The song announced that Sunflower was not just The Beach Boys' first album on a new label but the beginning of a new chapter

Time Captives: Cherry Red, Esoteric Collect Complete Albums, More from Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come
I am the god of Hellfire and I bring you...Fire! With those words, Arthur Brown introduced "Fire," his unhinged single that shot to No. 1 in the U.K. and Canada and No. 2 in the U.S. in 1968. While "Fire" has endured, Brown's band The Crazy World of Arthur Brown didn't. The group dissolved in June 1969 after recording just two albums, one of which was shelved for two decades. Brown, the charismatic and outrageous frontman, moved on and formed a new band: Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come. Now,
