For most people - let's say the 30,000 or so people who started a band after buying their debut - The Velvet Underground was the band that introduced the world to the uncompromising rock energy of Lou Reed. As the latest archival title of his released by Light in the Attic Records will illustrate, Reed's talents were first put on record in a possibly more unusual place than with The VU. Why Don't You Smile Now: Lou Reed At Pickwick Records 1964-1965 will serve as the first official anthology
Touch My Heart: Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Expands "From Where I Stand: The Black Experience in Country Music" Box Set
Back in 1998, The Country Music Foundation teamed with Warner Bros. Records to release From Where I Stand: The Black Experience in Country Music. The 3-CD box set was divided into three thematic discs - The Stringband Era, The Soul Country Years, and Forward with Pride - which reflected on the immense contributions of African-Americans to country music in 60 songs. Today, the spotlight shines even more brightly on the black experience in the genre, in no small part due to the release earlier
Blues At Sunrise: Stax Expands Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan's 'In Session'
An intergenerational meeting between two late blues guitar gods - Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan - will be revived on CD and vinyl in a new expanded package. Originally recorded in 1983 and first released in 1999, In Session features the six-stringers trading licks on a Canadian television program of the same name, when King was a 60-year-old living legend and Vaughan a young upstart who'd turned heads with his licks on David Bowie's Let's Dance before releasing his own powerful

Soundtrack Watch: Intrada Detects 'Foul Play,' La-La Land's Big Sale
If you're a catalogue soundtrack enthusiast, you're usually always ready to take a chance again on a new pressing of an old favorite. Intrada's latest reissue is about to make that idea as literal as possible: a new remix and expansion of Charles Fox's score to the 1978 comedy Foul Play. Written and directed by Colin Higgins (who penned the script to Harold and Maude and later directed the comedy 9 to 5), Foul Play is a screwy Hitchcock homage about a librarian (Goldie Hawn) who gets mixed up

Singer-songwriter John Miles' 1976 hit "Music," the opening track of his Decca debut album Rebel, immediately became the artist's calling card. The Alan Parsons-produced single went to the top five on the U.K. Singles Chart, also reaching the top ten in various European countries, and cracking the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. The epic prog ballad won Miles an Ivor Novello Award, and launched Miles into the stratosphere. Two well-received albums with producer Rupert Holmes followed,
The More I See You: Light in the Attic Reissues, Expands Nancy Sinatra's "Nancy in London"
Nancy Sinatra's third album brought the hitmaking singer to the Swingin' center of the world. Nancy in London, originally released in 1966, was produced and arranged by her usual team of Lee Hazlewood and Billy Strange, respectively, but the setting was very different than the typical Hollywood environs. Nancy was booked into Pye Studios on Great Cumberland Place near Marble Arch in London, the same studios in which Petula Clark had cut "Downtown" and Nancy's Reprise labelmates The Kinks

Run for Home: Lindisfarne's "Mercury Years" Collected on Box from Cherry Red, Lemon
With a sound melding harmony vocals to soaring folk-rock, Newcastle upon Tyne band Lindisfarne released three studio albums - including the 1972 breakthrough Fog on the Tyne, which spent 56 weeks on the U.K. Albums Chart - before splintering. Two-fifths of the band carried on with new members for a pair of albums in 1973-74, but by '75, the group had called it a day. Then, in 1978, they were back.
