Grow Some Funk: Elton John’s ‘Rock of the Westies’ Gets a (Wide) Deluxe Release

October 8, 2026 by Mike Duquette | 9 Comments

Elton John Rock of the Westies 50th packshot

Elton John’s classic discography has been reissued in style of late, even if some of the methodology is confusing. Following deluxe editions of his self-titled sophomore album and Tumbleweed Connection (both 1970 releases) in 2008 and a belated 40th anniversary box set for 1973’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in 2014, just about every album he put out in the ’70s got a 50th anniversary issue relatively on time. But confusingly, while Madman Across the Water, Honky Chateau and Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy were all wide releases, the expansions of Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only the Piano…

Review: The Beatles, “Rubber Soul: 60th Anniversary Edition”

October 1, 2026 by Joe Marchese | 11 Comments

“Standards are cruelly high at the top,” George Harrison observed in a May 1965 interview. “Every time we get a record released, it has to go to No. 1. If it doesn’t, we’ll be slipping.” Today, we take for granted that The Beatles certainly didn’t slip. Just months later, on October 12, the group started sessions for what would become their sixth original U.K. studio album: Rubber Soul. Yet more than just charting further No. 1s – the album itself went to that position in both the U.K. and U.S., and the…
