Diamonds In The Rough: John Prine's First Seven Albums Collected In New Box
One of the more difficult side effects of this very strange year is bidding farewell to a number of musical luminaries due to the COVID-19 pandemic. John Prine's passing looms large among them, not only as one of the first cases but in light of the incredible few years he'd had: in 2018, his 18th album The Tree of Forgiveness became his first-ever Top 5 album, and in February 2020, only two months before he died, he earned a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. On October 23, fans new and old
So What'cha Want: Beastie Boys Issue New Compilation In October
After two years of retrospectives in the literary and cinematic world, a new career-spanning Beastie Boys compilation is on its way next month. Beastie Boys Music serves as a belated 20-track accompaniment to the group's lengthy Beastie Boys Book (2018) and this year's Spike Jonze-helmed documentary Beastie Boys Story. True to its name, it collects 20 singles and beloved tracks from the New York trio's seven major records for Def Jam and Capitol, including "Fight For Your Right," "Hey
Review: Andrew Gold, "Lonely Boy: The Asylum Years Anthology"
The Asylum Records discography of pop polymath Andrew Gold has been well-addressed in the CD era - first via international CD reissues, then individual expanded editions on the U.S. Collectors' Choice label, and an all-encompassing set in 2013 from the U.K.'s Edsel label. But one thing had eluded Gold: a bona fide box set. Cherry Red and Esoteric Recordings have delivered with Lonely Boy: The Asylum Years Anthology, a 6-CD/1-DVD compendium celebrating the late artist (1951-2011) with

Review: Joe Jackson, "Body and Soul" [Hybrid SACD]
Joe Jackson was never much of a conformist. The singer-songwriter followed up his first two albums (which dovetailed with the new wave movement and also reflected a punk spirit) with two stylistic departures before embracing classic songcraft on 1982's watershed Night and Day. Basking in the success of the album and its singles "Steppin' Out" and "Breaking Us in Two," Jackson turned to film scoring with Mike's Murder, but most of his score was discarded in favor of one by John Barry. Where
My Blue Heaven: Impex Preps Expanded Audiophile Reissue of "Sing and Dance With Frank Sinatra" on LP and SACD
Over the course of his long and storied career, Frank Sinatra made many game-changing moves. He released the very first pop long-playing record with Columbia's 1948 reissue of The Voice of Frank Sinatra, pioneered the concept album with In The Wee Small Hours at Capitol, founded his own independent record label (Reprise), and transformed the art of pop vocal performance. In 1950, the future Chairman of the Board released an album (then available as either a set of four 10" 78s or a single
The Day Will Come: Edsel Collects Kiki Dee's "Fontana and Motown Years" On New Box Set
Kiki Dee rocketed to worldwide stardom (no pun intended) on Elton John's Rocket Records in 1976, imploring "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" to John on the chart-topping duet. She had been recording for Rocket since 1973, scoring such U.K. hits as "Amoreuse" and "I've Got the Music in Me," the latter of which also went to the top 20 of the U.S. chart, as well. Anyone familiar with Dee's Rocket recordings knows her to be a singer of both power and sensitivity, and last year, Edsel collected that

Let's Make the Most of It Now: Stage Door Reissues "On the Level," '60s Musical with "Doctor Who" and Beatles Connections
Swinging London was a melting pot of fashions, styles, and sounds. It was only natural that the cultural revolution and the youth movement would extend to the West End musical theatre. 1966's On the Level was the second musical to open in London in as many years to concern itself with young adults in a school setting; the first was John Barry, Trevor Peacock, and Wolf Mankowitz's Passion Flower Hotel a year earlier. If that show had boldfaced names in John Barry, Jeremy Clyde (of Chad and

Way back in 2012, Ace Records collected the multifaceted sounds of Chips Moman and Don Crews' American Studios on Memphis Boys: The Story of American Studios. The 24-song tribute collection featured such visitors to Memphis as Dusty Springfield, Wilson Pickett, B.J. Thomas, and Solomon Burke as well as Elvis Presley, one of the

The Second Disc Guide to Record Store Day Drop 1 TOMORROW!
With the nation still fighting COVID-19, Record Store Day here in the U.S. looks a little - make that a lot - different this year.

I Talk To The Wind: King Crimson Holds Court With Long-Awaited Box Set "The Complete 1969 Recordings" (UPDATED WITH LINKS!)
Prog-rockers King Crimson are set to give their debut album the royal treatment, with an impressive 26-disc box set appropriately titled The Complete 1969 Recordings. The long-awaited set was previewed last year with a digestible 3-CD/Blu-ray edition of their game-changing debut In The Court of the Crimson King. The band had promised a copyright-extending mega-set to follow, and on October 23 it will hit shops. The Complete 1969 Recordings promises to provide "the complete audio history" of
The Way It Goes: Esoteric Collects Albums from David Gilmour-Produced Band Unicorn
Unicorn went through a number of names before the band settled on that mystical creature: The Senders, The Pink Bear, The Late Edition, The Late, and just plain Late. The band wasn't late at all - rather, they were right on time in combining their influences into a striking sound of their own. They'd started as a beat group and put those skills to use backing Billy J. Kramer; then, the discovery of the Southern California sounds of CSN became a major influence. Unicorn blended CSN-style
John Lennon 80 Campaign Kicks Off With New Box Set "Gimme Some Truth"
On October 9, John Lennon would have turned 80 years old. To mark the occasion, Capitol and UMe will be releasing a new multi-format collection entitled Gimme Some Truth: The Ultimate Mixes after his still-relevant 1971 protest single of that name. But this set - out on John's birthday - won't resemble the 2010 box of nearly the same title (celebrating his 70th). Instead, the Deluxe Edition release features 36 all-new mixes from the original multi-tracks of solo Lennon classics, remixed in
