Though they've been separated personally and professionally for almost four decades, Richard and Linda Thompson are still recognized as one of the most significant musical duos of their generation. Fairport Convention co-founder Richard first teamed with Linda as a member of folk-rock group The Bunch, releasing one album in 1972; in October of that year, they became husband and wife. From a purely musical standpoint, the marriage of guitarist-songwriter Richard to vocalist Linda was a completely

C'est Magnifique: Ella Fitzgerald's "The Lost Berlin Tapes" Arrive in October
Over 58 years ago, Ella Fitzgerald took the stage at Berlin's Sportpalast for a swinging set. The March 25, 1962 date, part of an extensive European tour, found her supported by the trio of pianist Paul Smith, bassist Wilfred Middlebrooks, and drummer Stan Levey. She was no stranger to Berlin; her February 1960 concert at the city's Deutschlandhalle was released as Mack the Knife: Ella in Berlin and won two Grammy Awards.

A Hundred Million Miracles: Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Flower Drum Song" Reissued on Vinyl, Hi-Rez Digital
Flower Drum Song occupies a unique position in the Rodgers and Hammerstein canon. The 1958 musical wasn't one of the duo's timeless hits (Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, The Sound of Music). Nor was it one of their three commercial misses (Allegro, Me and Juliet, Pipe Dream). Instead, when considering the R&H oeuvre, it resides somewhere in between. It played 600 performances, and yielded a successful London production, a couple of bona fide classic songs, a
Dirty Old Town: The Pogues' 'BBC Sessions' RSD Release To Be Expanded On CD

Elevate Your Soul: U2 Announces 20th Anniversary Editions of "All That You Can't Leave Behind"
It's a beautiful day, or at least it will be on October 30, when U2 will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their acclaimed album All That You Can't Leave Behind. It was the album that put the band back on the charts and heralded something of a return to form after some experimental excursions in the mid-to-late '90s.

On October 30 - almost 50 years to the day after its original release (November 1, 1970) - American Beauty will return as a both a 3-CD set and a 1-LP picture disc. American Beauty: 50th
