The Kritzerland label has been on a roll in recent weeks, broadening its purview beyond its typically excellent array of soundtracks and cast recordings to offer such worthwhile reissues in the classical realm as Rachmaninov Symphony No. 2 and Robert Russell Bennett Violin Concerto with illustrious conductor Leopold Stokowski and renowned film composer Bernard Herrmann at the podium; and Claus Ogerman's Symphonic Dances/Some Times (Ballet) from the composer/arranger who famously collaborated
Nights in White Satin: The Moody Blues' "Days of Future Passed" Turns 50 with First Reissue of Original Stereo Mix
The 50th anniversary of The Moody Blues' 1967 classic Days of Future Passed will be marked next month, on November 17, by UMe as a new deluxe edition featuring the CD debut of the original 1967 stereo mix and more. The band's second album, Days of Future Passed paved the way for the birth of progressive rock with its overt classically-inspired elements - including its closing song, "Nights in White Satin," which went on to become a rock-era standard. The London Festival Orchestra conducted
Hearts In Her Eyes: The Searchers' Sire Recordings Collected By Omnivore
The Searchers will always be remembered as a leading light of the British Invasion, thanks to such infectious hits as "Needles and Pins," "Don't Throw Our Love Away," "Love Potion No. 9," "When You Walk in the Room," "Sugar and Spice," and "Sweets for My Sweet." Their Merseybeat reinventions of classic American songs and fresh British originals earned them a deserved following and berth on radio that's lasted to this very day. All told, the band notched eleven top 40s in the U.K. (including
Review: Alex Chilton, "A Man Called Destruction" and Chris Bell, "I Am The Cosmos"
Omnivore Recordings has kept the flame for Big Star burning brightly in recent years as the label continues to plumb the depths of the cult band's story from various angles. Two recent releases shed light on the solo works of Big Star's late musical heroes Alex Chilton and Chris Bell: an expanded reissue of Chilton's 1995 solo album A Man Called Destruction; and an updated, expanded version of Bell's I Am the Cosmos. The second album since Chilton's 1993 solo "comeback" Clichés, A Man Called
Christmas Present/The Other Side Of Me/Andy/Let's Love While We Can
BGO wraps up Andy Williams' Columbia career with his final four albums for the label, released between 1974 and 1980, on 2 CDs in a slipcase. Christmas Present was Williams' most spiritual holiday offering; The Other Side of Me and Andy featured his renditions of pop classics like "Love Will Keep Us Together," "Groovin'," "Mandy," and "My Eyes Adored You"; and Let's Love While We Can placed the singer in a firmly country setting.
The Wonderful World Of Andy Williams / Call Me Irresponsible / My Fair Lady / Almost There
BGO continues its reissue series for Andy Williams, turning its attention to another group of four classic titles - this time from 1964-1965. Including "Canadian Sunset," "Wives and Lovers," "Charade," "Hello, Dolly!," "Emily," and "Dear Heart."

Craft Recordings celebrates the 60th anniversary of a rock and roll landmark with this new 2-CD edition. Here's Little Richard will now feature a bonus disc with 22 session outtakes and demos. While most are ostensibly taken from the exhaustive treasury The Specialty Sessions (released in 1989 as a 6CD set by Ace Records and a 3CD cut-down by Specialty shortly thereafter), eight tracks-including alternate versions of "Rip It Up," "Ready Teddy" and "Oh Why?"-are heard here for the first time
'On Air' Shares Early Rolling Stones Radio Performances

Mike Love, Not War: Beach Boy Preps New Solo Album
Mike Love is a lot of things--a charter member of The Beach Boys who owns the band name and continues to tour with it alongside longtime touring member Bruce Johnston (currently in support of Wild Honey and 1967 - Sunshine Tomorrow), a devoted meditator, perhaps the most memorable speaker at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction--but right now, he's a guy with a solo double album coming out. Unleash The Love, due out November 17 on BMG, features 13 new tracks produced by Michael Lloyd and

Mystify Me: INXS Ready New 'Kick' Box
Come over here: INXS' landmark album Kick is getting another deluxe reissue for its 30th anniversary. The Australian rockers' sixth album was the one that propelled the group to their greatest international success, particularly in America, where some six million copies were sold and four singles ("Need You Tonight," "Devil Inside," "New Sensation" and "Never Tear Us Apart") all reached the Top 10 of Billboard's Hot 100. And that success has parlayed itself into not one, not two, but three
Lookin' Good: Robinsongs Collects Eric Gale's Jazz Fusion on "The Definitive Collection"
In his all-too-short life, guitarist Eric Gale (1938-1994) made his mark on the worlds of jazz, rock, R&B, and pop, leading his own jazz ensembles and contributing as a session musician to countless classic records by Paul Simon, The Drifters, Billy Joel, and Aretha Franklin, among others. Cherry Red's Robinsongs imprint has recently taken stock of the late Gale's legacy of lithe, liquid guitar lines with a 2-CD release, The Definitive Collection. The Brooklyn-born musician ultimately

Review: Brian Wilson, "Playback: The Brian Wilson Anthology"
There have been many great second acts in rock, but perhaps none so momentous as Brian Wilson's. The Beach Boys' leader's triumphant return to health and happiness after a lifetime of tragedy was captivatingly portrayed in the recent biopic Love and Mercy, but the real legacy of the reinvigorated Brian Wilson remains with his music. With Wilson near the conclusion of his acclaimed, sold-out Pet Sounds: The Final Performances world tour, the time has never been better to revisit his solo
Review: The Doors, "The Singles"
The Doors have had no shortage of collections in the CD era, whether the 10x-platinum The Best of The Doors, Legacy: The Absolute Best, The Very Best of The Doors, or The Future Starts Here: The Essential Doors Hits - just to name a few. Happily, the latest such release from Messrs. Morrison, Manzarek, Krieger, and Densmore distinguishes itself with a true raison d'etre. Rhino's simply-titled The Singles lives up to its name with 44 A-and B-sides on two CDs, originally released between 1967
Christmas Hymns and Carols Vol. II
Last year, Real Gone Music reissued The Robert Shaw Chorale's 1958 stereo re-recording of Christmas Hymns and Carols Vol. I, originally released in mono in 1949. This year, the label is tackling the 1952 mono sequel to that original recording. While featuring a similar structure of choral medleys like the first album, the Hymns and Carols follow-up drew its repertoire from more obscure sources. Therefore, there are some more unknown hymns and carols mixed in with more popular ones like "I
'Twas The Night Before Christmas/Christmas Time
