Revolver deluxe

The Beatles' seventh studio album - and the bridge between Rubber Soul and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - 1966's Revolver is recognized as one of the Fab Four's most groundbreaking as well as significant albums.

Thriller 40 packshot real

It's hard to know what a Michael Jackson event release looks like today. For one, the King of Pop is very much dead; for another, November's impending release of Thriller 40 is the third reissue of the bestselling album. Are the vaults empty? Is the estate stingy? (This is, after all, the same Jackson estate that bizarrely changed the font on the cover, got very defensive about it, yet changed it again, with a new slipcase. Also, the upcoming Mobile Fidelity vinyl edition may have gotten the

Out of Their Mind and Onto Your Stereo: Duran Duran's 'Medazzaland' Finally Gets Worldwide Release

August 29, 2022 By Mike Duquette 2 Comments

Medazzaland 25

A Duran Duran album not coming out in England sounds like some sort of wacky mistake - but in 1997, it was a hard truth for one of the country's most enduring pop/rock acts. Now, 25 years later and on the eve of their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, that record is finally corrected with a worldwide, physical reissue of the group's misunderstood Medazzaland on October 14.
