Ahead of their upcoming tour--including their first trek to America!--Bananarama will reissue their Greatest Hits Collection (1988) with a bonus disc of original material. Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward were once named the female vocal group with the most chart entries ever by the Guinness Book of World Records, and it's not too outlandish a claim. If you've been near a radio on both sides of the Atlantic since the '80s, you've probably heard at least one of their hits:
You Turned My Head Around: LITA Expands Three Lee Hazlewood Classics, Including Ann-Margret LP
Light in the Attic is continuing its long-running Lee Hazlewood Archive Series.

One of a Kind: Bruford Brings Box Set

Now, he's preparing a box set devoted to the first band he ever created: the aptly-titled Bruford. Seems Like a Lifetime Ago 1977-1980 will include Bruford's complete output, with some exciting extras as well.

Odds & Ends: Scepter Records Rarities
From 1962 to 1971, Dionne Warwick, working primarily with songwriters/producers Burt Bacharach and Hal David, notched over twenty Top 40 hits on the Scepter label and garnered two Grammy Awards. She became the artist most closely associated with Bacharach and David, and brought a new sound to the 1960s. Yet while there have been numerous reissues of Warwick's work at Scepter, some material has been overlooked. This new collection rectifies that! All 27 tracks on this compilation are new to

A Marshmallow World: Sony Reissues Original "Dean Martin Christmas Album" On CD
Over the years, Dean Martin's holiday recordings - primarily encompassing the 1959 Capitol album A Winter Romance and the 1966 Reprise album The Dean Martin Christmas Album - have been packaged and repackaged on CD ad infinitum. Yet the latter title had never seen a true reissue on CD, though all its tracks had been issued on CD, on various releases. Hip-O's 2008 A Very Cool Christmas presented the album in its original 10-track sequence, but retitled it, added new artwork, and a bonus
Yeh Yeh! Matt Bianco Expands Sophomore Album On Cherry Pop
Cherry Pop will reissue an expanded edition of Matt Bianco's self-titled sophomore album this week, with a dazzling array of bonus tracks. Released in 1986, Matt Bianco introduced a new line-up of the U.K.-based continental jazz-pop group; vocalist Basia and keyboardist Danny White had both left the group (the duo would collaborate on every Basia solo album afterward); vocalist Mark Reilly subsequently recruited Mark Fisher, who'd played keyboards for Wham!, to share creative responsibilities
A Dream In Your Heart: Real Gone Announces a Dionne Warwick Rarities Collection and Expanded Jimmy Webb "Angel Heart"

Both feature legendary artists who got their start in the 1960s. First up is Odds & Ends: Scepter Records Rarities, a collection of rarities from Dionne Warwick taken from her time at Scepter Records. Due on January 12, 2018, it features new liner notes by our very own Joe Marchese based on his brand-new
Give Me All Night: Hot Shot Reissues, Expands Carly Simon's "Coming Around Again"
"I know nothing stays the same/But if you're willing to play the game, it's coming around again..." With the release of 1987's Coming Around Again, Carly Simon proved she was not only willing to play, but still most definitely in the game. After the diminishing commercial (though not artistic) returns of her Warner Bros. and Epic releases of earlier in the decade, Simon's debut album for Clive Davis' Arista Records was a return to form. It yielded four major hits, all in her intensely
Chase the Blues Away: Manifesto, Edsel Premiere Two Tim Buckley Live Albums
Tim Buckley's September 1969 concerts at Doug Weston's famed Troubadour were first compiled for release in 1994 as Live at the Troubadour, capturing the singer-songwriter holding sway over an intimate Hollywood crowd. The performances took place just a couple of months after the July release of his third studio album, Happy Sad, and another couple of months before the November release of his fourth LP, Blue Afternoon. Now, Manifesto Records in the U.S. and Edsel in the U.K. have revisited
Lovin' You: Capitol/UMe to Reissue Minnie Riperton's Breakthrough Album
No one else could make us feel the colors that Minnie Riperton brings--and this winter, a newly expanded edition of her breakthrough album, 1974's Perfect Angel, will honor the singer for what would have been her 70th birthday. Born on the South Side of Chicago, Minnie Riperton was a musical pro when she released Perfect Angel in 1974. Blessed with a five-octave range and a compelling high soprano, she'd sung background vocals on many Chess Records releases and had joined the label's
Review: The Smiths, "The Queen Is Dead: Deluxe Edition"
The Smiths have been apart far longer than they were together in the mid-1980s, making the Manchester quartet today less of a band and more of an idea. It's interesting to see how a new deluxe edition of The Queen Is Dead (Warner Bros. 0190295783372), the group's most lauded album, interprets that thesis through its content and packaging. While the band may have made for a mere cult sensation in America, but in their native England (where success was fleeting but far more consistent), they

Fans can
Review: David Bowie, "A New Career in a New Town: 1977-1982"
I. Art Decade Keep Up with David's Changes, read an insert from the David Bowie Fan Club packaged in original pressings of the artist's 1977 album Low and painstakingly replicated on the edition included in the new 11-CD (or 13-LP) box set A New Career in a New Town 1977-1982. Indeed, it was no small feat to follow the restless artist's many transformations. 1975's Station to Station saw the formal introduction of The Thin White Duke, a nattily-dressed but rather unpleasant fellow; who
Before Love Went Out of Style: Cherry Red Reissues Dudley Moore's "Today"
Long before he got caught between the moon and New York City, engaged in Foul Play, or counted to 10, Dudley Moore was a well-known renaissance man: a talented comedian, writer, actor, composer, and classically-trained jazz musician. Cherry Red's El imprint has recently reissued Moore's 1972 trio album, Today, featuring his interpretations of original songs and favorites by Henry Mancini, Burt Bacharach, and the team of Harry Warren and Mack Gordon. Today, originally released on Atlantic
Tori Amos, Richard Hell Lead Rhino's Record Store Day Black Friday Slate
Rhino Records is planning 11 titles for this year's Record Store Day Black Friday--and two of them are fairly unexpected catalogue treats from two very different artists. First up, the label has announced an upcoming expanded edition on CD and LP of Richard Hell & The Voidoids' Blank Generation. Hell, a founding member of Television and one of the key figures of early punk rock in New York and beyond (his personal style of spiked hair and safety pins is said to have influenced Malcolm
