Soul Beat: Ace Collects Previously Unreleased B.B. King
At the time of his death on May 14, 2015 at the age of 89, legendary bluesman Riley B. "B.B." King left behind more than 60 studio and live albums, not to mention countless anthologies drawing on different aspects and time periods of his extraordinary career. Late in the year, though, Ace Records added another key collection to that total with the release of Here's One You Didn't Know About: From the RPM and Kent Vaults. All but two tracks on this 25-song, nearly 80-minute CD are previously
Souvenirs: Esoteric Reissues Two Albums From Welsh Prog Band Eyes of Blue
The Welsh progressive rock band Eyes of Blue had its share of ups and downs - the "ups" certainly including gigs opening for The Spencer Davis Group, The Move, The Moody Blues, The Who, and Led Zeppelin, and the "downs" relating to the promising group's flameout in a short period of time. Late in 2015, Cherry Red's Esoteric Recordings imprint shone a light on Eyes of Blue with the first authorized CD releases of the band's two Mercury albums, both from 1969: Crossroads of Time and In Fields of

You're Welcome: Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie Curates Mix Featuring Beach Boys, Byrds, Dion, More
Among Ace Records' recent releases is a collection that just might make you scream - make that "Primal Scream" - with elation. Bobby Gillespie Presents Sunday Morning Comin' Down is a mix CD curated by Primal Scream founder/Jesus and Mary Chain drummer. The Glasgow-born singer/songwriter/musician has selected 20 of his favorite tracks for Ace, and the result is a set that not only illuminates Gillespie's influences as an artist but stands on its own with thematic and sonic coherence.

Big Break Records "Breaks Away" with Al Jarreau, Rose Royce
Accompanying the recent releases from The Spinners and Frantique, Big Break Records rounded out its 2015 slate with a pair of titles from Al Jarreau and Rose Royce. Renowned vocalist Al Jarreau made his album debut in 1975 with the Reprise Records release We Got By, a collection of original songs from the jazz-rooted singer. He followed that effort with Glow, incorporating tracks by a wide range of writers including Elton John, James Taylor and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Jarreau was slowly but
Review: JD Souther, "John David Souther (Expanded Edition)"
In 2007, a new song from the Eagles blazed onto the radio airwaves, climbing to a Top 10 AC/Top 25 Country berth on the Billboard charts. But the infectious, breezy "How Long," with its classic Eagles sound, wasn't new at all. The song was written by JD Souther and included on his 1972 Asylum Records debut John David Souther. When the Eagles included it on Long Road Out of Eden, the band's first studio album since 1979, it rekindled the creative relationship with Souther, an "honorary Eagle"

Release Round-Up: Week of January 15
Welcome to our weekly Release Round-Up! Alan Price, Savaloy Dip (Omnivore Recordings) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada) Alan Price's 1974 Warner Bros. album Savaloy Dip came and went in the blink of an eye (on a recalled eight-track!) before disappearing for what might have been forever...but Omnivore Recordings has come to the rescue with the first-ever reissue of this 11-song lost record from the Animals founder/keyboardist! Wes Montgomery, One Night in Indy
Another Song on My Mind: The Motown Years
Bobby Darin was so much more than just Mack the Knife. In just 37 years, the singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and entrepreneur raced against the clock to conquer records, film, and television as he successfully transitioned from rock-and-roll teen idol to tuxedoed swinger and then to denim-clad folk troubadour. At the dawn of the 1970s, and still battling the chronic heart problems that had plagued him since youth, the superstar artist signed with Berry Gordy's renowned Motown

The Glow of Love: Groove Line Records Compiles The Music of Change, Featuring Luther Vandross, More
If ever a group lived up to its name, that group was Change. The brainchild of French-Italian music impresario and producer Jacques Fred Petrus, in collaboration with Italian-based producer/arranger Mauro Malavasi and bassist Davide Romani, Change released six albums between 1980 and 1985. Built on infectiously danceable rhythms, melodic hooks and sublimely soulful vocals, the sound of Change was primarily created by a rotating cast of Italian-based musicians and America-based vocalists.
Ain't It The Truth: Robinsongs Collects The Undisputed Truth's Post-Motown Albums
When producer-songwriter Norman Whitfield departed Motown Records in 1975 to form his own Whitfield label at Warner Bros., he had already left his mark on Hitsville, USA with such immortal songs as "Too Many Fish in the Sea," "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" and "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)." Whitfield had been instrumental in bringing "psychedelic soul" to Motown, incorporating rock and funk into his spacey yet socially-conscious soul jams. In 1971,
Kritzerland Brings Herrmann's "Snows," Intrada Delivers Goodwin's Disney "Oddball"
Kritzerland has announced its latest release, and it's another classic score from the pen of the legendary Bernard Herrmann (Psycho, Vertigo). Twentieth Century Fox's lavish 1952 film The Snows of Kilimanjaro starred Gregory Peck, Susan Hayward and Ava Gardner under the direction of Henry King and cinematography of the renowned Leon Shamroy. Kilimanjaro, nominated for two Academy Awards, was one of the year's most successful movies, and yielded more memorable music from the veteran composer

Welcome to the first part of our Ace Records late 2015 round-up spotlighting two of the label's recent releases: Georgie Fame Heard Them Here First and the third volume of The Birth of Surf. 2015 was a good year for fans of Georgie Fame. The British singer, who has blended rhythm and blues, jazz, ska, beat, and soul into his own formidable style for over 50 years, was celebrated with BGO Records' collection of his CBS recordings (Georgie Does His Thing with Strings/Knock on Wood/The CBS As
Strut Your Funky Stuff: Philadelphia International's "Frantique" Comes to CD
Everything about Philadelphia International Records' 1979 release of the self-titled album from Frantique was unexpected. The cradle of Philly soul wasn't exactly a typical home for an LP of Eurodisco. Nor was Frantique's benefactor someone particularly associated with disco, Euro- or otherwise - the legendary maestro of elegant and silky soul, Thom Bell. But Bell had taken an interest in songwriter-producer Jack Robinson and his collaborator David Christie, enlisting them for projects by The
