Earlier this year, Jackie DeShannon's seminal 1965 recording of Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "What the World Needs Now Is Love" was inducted into the National Recording Registry. The era-defining single is just one of the many high points of DeShannon's extraordinary legacy; Jackie toured with The Beatles, penned a rock and roll classic with the oft-covered "When You Walk in the Room," co-wrote and introduced the anthemic "Put a Little Love in Your Heart," anticipated the '70s

Demon/Edsel's Dance Masters series only just released its second volume this summer - but a third one is on the way this fall, spotlighting the work of acclaimed remixer John Luongo. The Arthur Baker-presented series follows generous box sets on Shep Pettibone and Baker himself with a new overview of John "T.C." Luongo, who parlayed working in and around the Boston club scene into more than a decade of 12" remix work, first for some of the greatest R&B artists crossing over into disco,

Is Your Love in Vain? Bob Dylan Expands Budokan Live Album for New Box Set
There was something about Midwestern-born rockers on the CBS Records roster making stops at the Nippon Budokan Hall in Japan. In 1979, Columbia issued not one but two live albums from the Tokyo venue, both simply titled At Budokan. While the one by Cheap Trick essentially made them stars in their home country, a double album of rearranged hits from Bob Dylan sharply polarized fans and critics. Now, on November 17, the Dylan camp is re-examining the artist's time in Japan with a brand-new box

Heart-Shaped Box: Nirvana's "In Utero" Returns in 30th Anniversary Box Set Editions
The culmination of the band's tragically short career, Nirvana's In Utero initially stoked fears over its raw, aggressive, and seemingly uncommercial sound. To say that those fears were unfounded is an understatement: the 1993 album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and the U.K. Albums Chart, and has since been certified 6x Platinum in the United States. On October 27, it will return from Geffen/UMe in a multi-format 30th anniversary edition. As TSD opined back in August 2013 as the

Review: Van Morrison, "His Band and the Street Choir," Jaco Pastorius' "Word of Mouth" in Rhino Hi-Fi
Don't want to discuss it/I think it's time for a change... Van Morrison's 1967 debut album for Bert Berns' Bang Records, Blowin' Your Mind, came close to living up to its title with the lovably breezy "Brown-Eyed Girl" nestled alongside more challenging fare such as "T.B. Sheets," and everything in between: pop, folk, Latin, rock-and-roll, blues. But the Northern Irish singer-songwriter truly came into his own with a move to Warner Bros. the following year. The mystical, hypnotically
And That's Not Nearly All: Soft Cell's 'Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret' Goes Massive for Box Set Season

Call Me the Breeze: J.J. Cale Vinyl Box Due in October
Though not a household name like his contemporaries, J.J. Cale's guitar skills were celebrated by many of his peers - and his country/blues/jazz style helped usher in a whole new subgenre which lends its name to a new Cale vinyl box set: Tulsa Sound.

I'm the Slime: Zappa's "Over-Nite Sensation" Goes Super Deluxe for 50th
The title of Frank Zappa's 1973 album Over-Nite Sensation was, expectedly, dripping with sarcasm; the album was the prolific composer-bandleader's seventeenth overall release. But the "sensation" part was spot-on. The LP became Zappa's first of two U.S. gold-certified releases and an ideal entry point into his musical world. On November 3, Zappa Records and UMe celebrate the 50th anniversary of this landmark record in a variety of formats including a 4CD/1Blu-ray super deluxe edition, 2LP and

Learn to Work the Saxophone: Steely Dan's "Aja" Returns to Vinyl, SACD in September
UMe's Steely Dan reissue campaign - which has so far yielded remastered standard and audiophile vinyl and hybrid stereo SACD reissues of the band's first three albums Can't Buy a Thrill, Countdown to Ecstasy, and Pretzel Logic - has announced an unexpected detour.
