Pray Them Bars Away: Lee Hazlewood's "Cowboy in Sweden" Coming to CD and LP

Livin' Proof: Cherry Red Follows Dusty Springfield's "Reputation" with "Very Fine Love" Deluxe Reissue
Earlier this year, Cherry Red's Strike Force Entertainment label reissued Dusty Springfield's Reputation, the legendary vocalist's 1990 "comeback" album featuring productions by The Pet Shop Boys, Dan Hartman, and others. That expanded reissue took the form of a 2-CD/1-DVD set, adding nineteen bonus tracks and five music videos within its slipcase. More recently, SFE has turned its attention to Dusty's follow-up, A Very Fine Love, as a CD/DVD combo. The 1995 Columbia album, recorded in
A Thousand Years Wide: Soundgarden Expand "Badmotorfinger" in a Big Way
When news first broke that Soundgarden were planning a 25th anniversary edition of their third album, 1991’s Badmotorfinger, it was almost hard to imagine what extra content would be included. After all, 2014’s Echo of Miles: Scattered Tracks Along the Path had compiled just about all of the group’s B-sides across three discs. Well, with the grunge explosion celebrated heavily in the Soundgarden-adjacent camp (box sets devoted to Mother Love Bone and Temple of the Dog are among 2016’s bigger
Child of the Universe: Esoteric Reissues Two From Barclay James Harvest
Esoteric Recordings has recently turned its attention to the Polydor discography of prog giants Barclay James Harvest for a pair of 2-CD/1-DVD reissues. John Lees founded Barclay James Harvest in 1966 with Les Holroyd, Mel Pritchard and Stuart "Wooly" Wolstenholme. After one single for EMI's Parlophone imprint in 1968, the progressive four-piece was moved over to the Harvest imprint. Barclay James Harvest remained on Harvest for four LPs, but didn't score their commercial breakthrough until a

Say Hello 2 Heaven: "Temple of the Dog" Gets 25th Anniversary Expansion
A spate of grunge classics are hitting the quarter-century mark this year, and one of the biggest is coming back in a big way this month. Temple of the Dog only released one self-titled album in the spring of 1991 to relatively little fanfare. But by the end of the year, when critics started to take notice of the tidal wave of rock bands from Seattle and lighting the fuse on an eventual grunge explosion, people began to take notice. And how could you miss them, with the lineup they had?

Review: Fleetwood Mac, "Mirage: Deluxe Edition"
When Fleetwood Mac entered the Château d'Hérouville studio outside Paris at the dawn of the 1980s, the band had one goal in mind: to create a commercial pop success in the mold of their record-breaking Rumours. Not everyone in the quintet was sold on this goal, necessarily, especially after the quantum leap forward from Rumours into the beautiful madness that was Tusk. But while Tusk sold four million copies, it couldn't help but be viewed as a disappointment after the world domination of its
This Could Be The Night: Shout! Factory To Release "T.A.M.I. Show" and "The Big T.N.T. Show" on Blu-ray
While we normally concentrate on CD reissues here at The Second Disc, we do occasionally like to highlight other titles which we think may be of interest to our readers. One such project, just announced from Shout! Factory, certainly qualifies: a 2-disc Blu-ray set entitled the T.A.M.I. Show/The Big T.N.T. Show Collector's Edition due out on December 2. Directed by Steve Binder, T.A.M.I. Show (meaning either "Teenage Awards Music International" or "Teen Age Music International") was filmed

Have Some Faith in The Sound: George Michael's "Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1" To Be Expanded to a Box Set To Mark Anniversary
Last year marked the 25th anniversary of George Michael's second solo album Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1. While nothing hit the shelves last year to commemorate the occasion, that is being rectified this year when Legacy Recordings releases Listen Without Prejudice 25 on November 11. After the breakup of Wham! in 1986, George Michael moved quickly to kick his solo career into high gear. The result was the 1987 album Faith, where he wrote (or co-wrote) and produced every track.

This month, the rich legacy of the California dreamers is being celebrated with a remarkable new 4-CD collection from TJ Lubinsky's TJL Productions! TJL (responsible for last year's
Let There Be More Light: Pink Floyd Announces Massive Box Set Tracing Band's Early Years
Back in May we told you about Pink Floyd's vinyl reissue campaign for this year. At the time, there was no word on any further CD reissues. But all that changed this morning when word came out about what may be the most expansive Pink Floyd project yet: the 27-disc The Early Years 1965-1972. Due to be released on November 11 from Pink Floyd Records/Sony, the set contains 6 CD/DVD or Blu-ray book-style packages (which will be released separately) and a 7th "Extra" CD/DVD or Blu-ray package
