The Year in Review - The 2015 Gold Bonus Disc Awards, From A to Z
Happy New Year, and welcome to The Second Disc's Sixth Annual Gold Bonus Disc Awards! As with every year's awards, our goals are simple: to recognize as many of the year's most essential reissues and catalogue titles as possible, and to celebrate as many of those labels, producers and artists who make these releases happen in an increasingly-challenging retail landscape. The labels you'll read about below have, by and large, bucked the trends to prove that there's still a demand for physical
Star Wars: The Ultimate Soundtrack Collection
The Ultimate Soundtrack Collection contains 10 compact discs and 1 DVD celebrating John Williams' classic scores for cinema's most beloved franchise.

Dick's Picks Vol. 2: Columbus, OH - 10/31/71
The only single-disc release in Grateful Dead's Dick's Picks series is reissued by Real Gone. This crackling concert features a transcendent "Dark Star" as well as a spirited "Sugar Magnolia," a rare, early-'70s performance of "St. Stephen" (the final live version until 1976) and a great "Not Fade Away"/"Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad" closer to round out the 59-minute program.
VI
Real Gone has one from hardcore punk band The Circle Jerks: their 1987 albumVI, which was actually the Jerks' fifth effort. This album includes a song that was featured in the film Sid and Nancy. The Circle Jerks, founded in 1979, had a rather tumultuous history and disbanded in 1990. They got back together in 1994 and released one more album in 1995, which is their final release to date. Liner notes, lyrics and memorabilia images round out RGM's newly-remastered reissue.

The pair joined the Clinch Mountain Boys for three albums on the Jessup label, all of which are collected on the 2-CD, 34 track Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys

Santa Claus is Comin' To Town: Bruce Springsteen Gifts Free Unreleased Concert Tracks from 1980 Tempe, Arizona Show to Fans as Addition to Box Set
Bruce Springsteen is giving a Christmas gift to his fans.

Fortunately, the entire audio from the concert was preserved. Now,
