The Right to Sing: Cherry Red's Lemon Imprint Collects John Miles' "The Albums 1983-93"
Singer-songwriter John Miles' 1976 hit "Music," the opening track of his Decca debut album Rebel, immediately became the artist's calling card. The Alan Parsons-produced single went to the top five on the U.K. Singles Chart, also reaching the top ten in various European countries, and cracking the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. The epic prog ballad won Miles an Ivor Novello Award, and launched Miles into the stratosphere. Two well-received albums with producer Rupert Holmes followed,
Maestro Around the World: John Williams' Late-Period Concert Albums Set for Vinyl Box
Last Sunday, August 11, John Williams added another honorific to his already incredible career: Disney Legend. The iconic film composer, whose nine Star Wars film scores and five for the Indiana Jones series are now part of the Mouse House's company portfolio thanks to its 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm, was honored at the latest D23 Expo by Dr. Jones himself, actor Harrison Ford, and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, who's produced many of the films that Williams has done scores for.

The Boys Are Back: Thin Lizzy Gets New Remixes for Box Set Commemorating 1976, Their Breakthrough Year
Guess who just got back today? Well, September 27 is the date, but Thin Lizzy are releasing a box set chronicling one of their most pivotal years. 1976 will, across five CDs and a Blu-ray Disc, retell the story of the two albums the Irish rockers issued that year: Jailbreak and Johnny the Fox. Both albums have been newly remixed in stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos by Richard Whittaker, under the supervision of guitarist Scott Gorham.

St. Jimmy, Re-Canonized: Green Day Prep 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of 'American Idiot'
With 20 years' hindsight, Green Day probably meant for their seventh studio album to be big. But nobody could have predicted just how big American Idiot got - and this year's latest addition to the year-end music box set line-up will showcase just how big with a package to match. American Idiot will come back into print with a new box set spanning four CDs (or eight colored LPs) and two Blu-ray Discs.

Refugee of the Roads: Joni Mitchell's Latest Archives Box Takes Listeners to the End of the '70s
Rhino's Joni Mitchell Archives series has been dependably running since 2020, offering alternating box sets featuring troves of unreleased material from the folk legend and remastered versions of the album eras they cover. With the most recent box collecting her last four albums for the Asylum label - Hejira (1976), Don Juan's Reckless Daughter (1977), Mingus (1979) and the live Shadows and Light (1980) - today's new announcement closes that same chapter, offering hours of unreleased live and
Run for Home: Lindisfarne's "Mercury Years" Collected on Box from Cherry Red, Lemon
With a sound melding harmony vocals to soaring folk-rock, Newcastle upon Tyne band Lindisfarne released three studio albums - including the 1972 breakthrough Fog on the Tyne, which spent 56 weeks on the U.K. Albums Chart - before splintering. Two-fifths of the band carried on with new members for a pair of albums in 1973-74, but by '75, the group had called it a day. Then, in 1978, they were back. The album was cheekily entitled Back and Fourth, referring to the fact that the originals had
Roxy and Elsewhere: Bryan Ferry, Phil Manzanera Plan Career-Spanning Box Sets

Review: Joni Mitchell, "The Asylum Albums 1972-1975" in Quadio
The Joni Mitchell renaissance continues. Following a triumphant surprise appearance in July 2022 at the Newport Folk Festival, the singer-songwriter returned to the stage for a full-length Joni Jam in June 2023 at Washington's Gorge Amphitheatre; tickets were quickly snapped up by ardent fans who had waited roughly two decades to see Mitchell in concert once again. The evening was a transcendent one, a taste of which was supplied to the public when Mitchell and her band of friends performed
In Memoriam: Abdul "Duke" Fakir of the Four Tops (1935-2024)
Is it possible for a group like the Four Tops to be underrated? On its face, that question seems ridiculous. The Detroit vocal quartet had two dozen Top 40 hits in America between 1964 and 1988; they're in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and the R&B Group Hall of Fame, they have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award; Rolling Stone and Billboard both named them one of the 100 greatest artists of all time. Those are laurels

Can't Turn Back the Decks: Phil Collins' 'Both Sides' Gets Deluxe Vinyl Set
When Phil Collins started his deluxe reissue campaign in 2016, he started from both an obvious place and a less obvious one, first expanding 1981 debut Face Value as well as 1993's Both Sides, his fifth album. Now, that latter release - clearly, one of Collins' own favorites in his catalog - is being celebrated this fall with two vinyl products. Rhino will release Both Sides (All the Sides), a 5LP box set featuring the original album, demos, B-sides and live cuts, on September 20. They'll

Forever Young: Bob Dylan and The Band's Complete 1974 Live Recordings Collected on Massive Box
Bob Dylan had come a long way from coffeehouses. In 1974, the superstar singer-songwriter embarked on an extensive tour with his old backing band. Now, they, too, were universally known - as The Band - and the double bill hit indoor arenas across North America for 40 concerts over 30 dates and 21 cities. The tour became one of the largest and highest-profile of the era, in no small part due to the promotional efforts of David Geffen, who'd spurred on the talks and had recently lured Dylan
