Now More Than Ever: "Chicago at Carnegie Hall" Gets Super-Sized for Its 50th
Robert Lamm, Peter Cetera, Terry Kath, James Pankow, Lee Loughnane, Walt Parazaider, and Danny Seraphine took the world by storm with 1969's Chicago Transit Authority. The double album inaugurated a string of twelve successive platinum or multi-platinum LPs for the group over the next decade. The largest of them all was 1971's Chicago at Carnegie Hall, colloquially referred to as Chicago IV. Over a whopping eight sides of vinyl, the 4-LP box set presented highlights from the band's six-night,

The Columbia Legacy
Sony Classical revisits Eugene Ormandy and The Philadelphia Orchestra's early Columbia recordings with a massive 120-disc box set, The Columbia Legacy. This will be the second-largest box in Sony Classical history after the complete Arthur Rubinstein set of 142 CDs released in 2011.

The Original Philadelphia Sound: Sony Classical Collects 120 Discs of Eugene Ormandy's "Columbia Legacy"
Eugene Ormandy's 44-year tenure as music director of the world-renowned Philadelphia Orchestra remains the single longest affiliation between conductor and orchestra. Though Ormandy passed away in 1985 at 85 years of age, the enormous body of work he left behind continues to resonate. Though he also recorded for RCA Victor, EMI, Telarc, and Delos, his most long-lasting label association was with Columbia Records. Between 1944 and 1968, Ormandy surveyed a broad swath of the classical

Review: Neil Young, "Young Shakespeare"
When Neil Young announced the release of Young Shakespeare as Disc 3.5 of the Neil Young Archives Performance Series, many wondered, "Why another solo acoustic show?" Since the archival series began in 2006, Young has released six solo acoustic concert albums, three of which chronicled performances from 1970-1971; Young Shakespeare was recorded in that time frame, on January 22, 1971, at Stratford, Connecticut's Shakespeare Theatre. While the venue sadly burned to the ground in January 2019,

Feelin' Groovy: Cherry Red, El Collect Harpers Bizarre's "Complete Warner Bros. Recordings"
When Harpers Bizarre made their debut on Warner Bros. Records in spring 1967, they joined an eclectic roster of pop stars (Petula Clark, The Association), folksingers (Chad Mitchell, Peter Paul and Mary), comedy titans (Bob Newhart, Allan Sherman), MOR artists (The Anita Kerr Singers, Rod McKuen), and one forward-thinking psychedelic rock band (Grateful Dead). The group defied easy categorization, and over the course of four albums merged pop, MOR, rock, and even dashes of folk and comic whimsy

Back to the Garden: Rhino Expands Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's "Déjà Vu" In New Box Set
Crosby, Stills, and Nash's eponymous debut was one of the most auspicious and omnipresent records of 1969, a remarkable and harmony-rich affair featuring such era-defining material as "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," "Marrakesh Express," "Guinnevere," "Wooden Ships," "Long Time Gone," and "Helplessly Hoping." CSN blended folk, country, jazz, rock, and a dash of pop into an often-imitated but never-duplicated sound. In the U.S. alone, the album reached No. 6 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and the top
Short Takes: "Fawlty Towers" Comes to Vinyl with Cleese Autograph; Judas Priest Plans Massive Box Set for Summer
Although only 12 episodes were made between 1975 and 1979, Fawlty Towers remains one of television's most beloved comedies. As recently as 2019, it was named the greatest ever British sitcom by Radio Times, and its magic has never been successfully duplicated. Three American remakes - starring Harvey Korman and Betty White (the pilot-only Chateau Snavely, 1978), Bea Arthur (Amanda's, 1983), and John Larroquette and JoBeth Williams (Payne, 1999) - all failed to recapture the spirit of the
My Song: Keith Jarrett's Improvised "Sun Bear Concerts" Receives Deluxe 10-LP Reissue
Few artists have transformed the landscape of jazz music in quite the same way as Keith Jarrett. Over the course six decades, Jarrett revolutionized piano music as a sideman to Miles Davis, Charles Lloyd, and others, and as a bandleader in his own right. But some of his most captivating recordings present him alone onstage, building thrilling and beautiful pieces that are entirely improvised. One need only look toward his stellar run of ECM recordings releases - among them The Köln Concert
Hear That Train A-Comin': Vinyl Me Please Introduces New Country Offerings, Announces Metal Blade Anthology Set

Second Chance: Cherry Red, Lemon Collect Bon Scott's Fraternity on "Seasons of Change: The Complete Recordings 1970-1974"
Before achieving international fame as the high-powered vocalist of AC/DC, Bon Scott earned his bona fides in his native Australia - first with The Valentines and then with Fraternity. A few years back, Cherry Red's RPM imprint traced Scott's journey with the pop-oriented Valentines. Now, the Lemon imprint has collected his work with Fraternity in a new 3-CD box set Season of Change: The Complete Recordings 1970-1974 which includes an entire disc of never-before-released
People All Over the World, Join Hands: United Souls Announces First Philadelphia International Records Albums Box Set, "Get On Board the Love Train"

I Found Out: John and Yoko's "Plastic Ono Band" Box Due in April
The July 1969 single release of John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance" marked the first time that the name of the Plastic Ono Band appeared on a record label. Lennon and his new wife Yoko Ono - they'd married in March - resolved to use the flexible band handle for whichever group happened to be playing with them; the onstage document Live Peace in Toronto 1969 was credited to the band, as was the harrowing single "Cold Turkey." "Instant Karma!" modified the name slightly to "John Lennon and Yoko

I Can See For Miles: The Who Announce Rarities-Filled Deluxe Reissue of "The Who Sell Out" Due April 23
If you're troubled and you can't relax, close your eyes and think on this... So begins "Armenia City in the Sky," the first track on The Who Sell Out. Originally released in December 1967, the album reflects not only the hippie counterculture, but also the maturing of rock music as an art form. Here, The Who go between psych-rock, pop, childlike ditties, jazzy ballads, and even a rock opera - not to mention the breakthrough hit "I Can See For Miles". It's tied together (rather loosely)
