Glad All Over: Dave Clark Five Preps "All The Hits" Collection on CD and LP
Fans of The Dave Clark Five have good reason to feel glad all over...again! The British Invasion hitmakers had a string of successful singles before their breakup in 1970, including "Glad All Over," "Because," and "Catch Us If You Can." DC5 leader Clark (who holds the rights to their discography) hasn't been too keen on looking back at his past, though, much to superfans' dismay. However, tides began to turn last summer when remastered editions of six DC5 albums and the 2008 compilation The

RPM Records Wraps Up Almost 30 Year Run; Label's Final Release Due in May
For nearly three decades, the RPM Records arm of Cherry Red Records has exemplified the finest in archival reissues. Here at The Second Disc, we've covered dozens of RPM's often ambitious titles over the last ten years - most of which shed light on artists and albums that would likely otherwise have languished in the vaults. RPM's releases gave equal consideration to all artists, whether the famous (Gene Pitney, Chad and Jeremy, The Spencer Davis Group), the soon-to-be- famous (the pre-ABBA Hep
Thank You For The Music: On 10 Years of The Second Disc
Ten years ago, I was writing my first post for The Second Disc, a website about music reissues I thought was a pretty bright idea. A lot has changed since then. The first posts were written in the bedroom of a suburban New Jersey home - the house I grew up in and moved back into after post-college economic downturn made it the best possible choice to live. This post was written in an apartment in Queens that I share with a lovely fiancée who is very cool about the amount of box sets

The Importance of Your Love: Vince Hill Reflects on His "Legacy" with 1965-1974 Anthology
One of our favorite releases of 2017 was Cherry Red/Strike Force Entertainment's two-fer of Edelweiss (1967) and Look Around (1971) from the big-voiced British pop crooner. While the set didn't inaugurate the hoped-for series of reissues on CD (to date, at least), Hill followed it up with Legacy: My Hits and Rarities (1965-1974). We've caught up with this CD which is available exclusively through the singer's webstore. It's both a fine introduction to Hill's oeuvre and a welcome reminder of why

In Times Like These: Esoteric Reissues, Expands Strawbs, Roy Wood, Alan Price Albums
Esoteric Recordings is rightly known for its deluxe editions and box sets, but the Cherry Red imprint delivers the same high level of quality with its more modest releases. Today, we're looking at the single-disc expanded editions of a trio of diverse rock classics released in late 2019. Strawbs' ninth album, Deep Cuts, isn't an album of rarities as the title might indicate.
