These (Cowboy) Boots Are Made For Walkin'! Eddy Arnold, Lee Hazlewood, Chet Atkins Sessions OUT TOMORROW!
Richard Edward Arnold - better known as Eddy Arnold - proved throughout an eight-decade career that he could sing anything. The countrypolitan crooner scored 147 U.S. chart hits between 1945 and 2008, sold over 85 million records, and earned inductions into the Country Music Hall of Fame and The Grand Ole Opry.

The Columbia Years 1968-1969
This surprise release has already shaped up to be one of the year's hottest. The bulk of Betty Davis' never-before-released or bootlegged Columbia sessions were produced by Miles Davis and Teo Macero.

Nothing Has Been Proved: Cherry Red to Expand Dusty Springfield's "Reputation"
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Dusty Springfield rightfully regained her reputation as one of the best British soul singers of her generation, with the help of some famous collaborators. The fruits of that labor, 1990's Reputation, is being expanded by Cherry Red Records this summer. While Dusty had dominated part of the '60s with a unique brand of soul-pop on tracks like "I Only Want to Be with You," "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" and the Burt Bacharach-Hal David-penned "Wishin' and

Surfin' Is The Only Life: Omnivore Collects The Beach Boys' Earliest Recordings, Unreleased Tracks
Before Pet Sounds, before SMiLE, heck, before "Surfin' USA," The Beach Boys were a scrappy family band with little but big dreams and tight harmonies. Things happened quickly for brothers Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson, their cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine; in September 1961, the quintet first captured their voices together, and by the following May, they had signed a seven-year contract with major Capitol Records. In the few months in between, The Beach Boys recorded nine songs
Magic's in the Air: SoulMusic, Cherry Red Reissue Brook Benton, Esther Phillips Albums
Two late legends of soul - Brook Benton and Esther Phillips - have recently been feted on a pair of reissues from SoulMusic Records and Cherry Red. By the time Brook Benton signed with Atlantic Records' Cotillion imprint in 1968, he had already enjoyed an illustrious career at labels including OKeh, Epic, RCA, Mercury and Reprise. The move to Atlantic paid off when his recording of Tony Joe White's "Rainy Night in Georgia" not only reached No. 1 but became a signature song for the vocalist.

Do You Like The Rain? Cherry Red Revisits Kerr and McKuen's "The Sea, The Earth, The Sky"
When singer-songwriter-poet Rod McKuen teamed with composer-arranger-conductor Anita Kerr for the 1967 album The Sea, neither had any inkling that the record's success would lead to an entire series of albums under the San Sebastian Strings moniker through 1975. The oft-imitated, never-duplicated, platinum-selling The Sea epitomized the now-moribund genre of "mood music," offering spoken word and music in a relaxing, spellbinding mélange. Cherry Red's él imprint has recently reissued the box
