Wilco Uncover Sunken Treasures On Reissues of Their First Two Albums
Wilco is digging deep for new expanded reissues of their first two albums, due this December from Rhino Records. The Chicago alternative outfit was born in 1994 from the ashes of influential alt-country outfit Uncle Tupelo, following the dissolution of Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar's creative partnership. Farrar went on to form Son Volt, while Wilco began with Tweedy and the rest of the band--bassist Jon Stirratt, multi-instrumentalist Max Johnson and drummer Ken Coomer--plus new lead guitarist

Wondrous World: Rhino Releases 'Harry Potter' Vinyl Box Set
Rhino Records is inviting vinyl fans on a musical trip to Hogwarts, with a box set of soundtracks from the Harry Potter film series. J.K. Rowling's series of children's novels about an orphaned boy who discovers his magical powers--and, naturally, recruits his fellow magical friends to an all-out battle of good versus evil--has become a major cultural force since the release of debut book Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone in 1997. The original seven books, released over the following

The 50th anniversary of The Moody Blues' 1967 classic Days of Future Passed will be marked next month, on November 17, by UMe as a new deluxe edition featuring the CD debut of the original 1967 stereo mix and more. The band's second album, Days of Future Passed paved the way for the birth of progressive rock with its overt classically-inspired elements - including its closing song, "Nights in White Satin," which went on to become a rock-era standard. The London Festival Orchestra conducted
Review: Alex Chilton, "A Man Called Destruction" and Chris Bell, "I Am The Cosmos"
Omnivore Recordings has kept the flame for Big Star burning brightly in recent years as the label continues to plumb the depths of the cult band's story from various angles. Two recent releases shed light on the solo works of Big Star's late musical heroes Alex Chilton and Chris Bell: an expanded reissue of Chilton's 1995 solo album A Man Called Destruction; and an updated, expanded version of Bell's I Am the Cosmos. The second album since Chilton's 1993 solo "comeback" Clichés, A Man Called

'On Air' Shares Early Rolling Stones Radio Performances
While the 50th anniversary edition of The Rolling Stones' Their Satanic Majesties Request is short on archival material, a newly announced title looks to add some variety to Stones fans' Christmas lists. This time, it's the first wide release of any of the band's live BBC sessions, recorded during the beginning of the band's storied career. On Air, an audio companion to the recently published book of the same name, features a bevy of tracks recorded between 1963, when the group appeared on
Mike Love, Not War: Beach Boy Preps New Solo Album
Mike Love is a lot of things--a charter member of The Beach Boys who owns the band name and continues to tour with it alongside longtime touring member Bruce Johnston (currently in support of Wild Honey and 1967 - Sunshine Tomorrow), a devoted meditator, perhaps the most memorable speaker at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction--but right now, he's a guy with a solo double album coming out. Unleash The Love, due out November 17 on BMG, features 13 new tracks produced by Michael Lloyd and

Back to the Swamp: John Fogerty Plans Solo Reissue Campaign
John Fogerty is planning to revisit his catalogue as part of a new record deal--and the first of his albums to be reissued is coming in November.

Intervention Reissues Murray Head's Ambitious Rock Concept Album "Nigel Lived"
Few artists have bridged the worlds of rock and theatre as successfully as Murray Head. Singing the music of others, actor-singer Head scored two major hits on both sides of the Atlantic with 1973's "Superstar" from Jesus Christ Superstar and 1984's "One Night in Bangkok" from Chess. Far lesser known, however, is his discography as a singer-songwriter. Head imbued his own compositions with the same vibrant life as those famous songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny
Review: Brian Wilson, "Playback: The Brian Wilson Anthology"
There have been many great second acts in rock, but perhaps none so momentous as Brian Wilson's. The Beach Boys' leader's triumphant return to health and happiness after a lifetime of tragedy was captivatingly portrayed in the recent biopic Love and Mercy, but the real legacy of the reinvigorated Brian Wilson remains with his music. With Wilson near the conclusion of his acclaimed, sold-out Pet Sounds: The Final Performances world tour, the time has never been better to revisit his solo
Review: The Doors, "The Singles"
The Doors have had no shortage of collections in the CD era, whether the 10x-platinum The Best of The Doors, Legacy: The Absolute Best, The Very Best of The Doors, or The Future Starts Here: The Essential Doors Hits - just to name a few. Happily, the latest such release from Messrs. Morrison, Manzarek, Krieger, and Densmore distinguishes itself with a true raison d'etre. Rhino's simply-titled The Singles lives up to its name with 44 A-and B-sides on two CDs, originally released between 1967
You Can Get It If You Really Want (Limited Black and Blue "Marble" Vinyl Edition)
Real Gone has a 1,000-unit limited edition vinyl release of You Can Get It If You Really Want from reggae legend Desmond Dekker. Originally released in 1970, it was Dekker's first original album on the Trojan label. (His first album, 1969's This Is Desmond Dekker, was a compilation of earlier material.) The title song, a cover of the Jimmy Cliff tune, would go to No. 2 on the British charts. Both artists also shared a producer in Leslie Kong. The album produced another hit with "Pickney

Your Songs: Elton John Plans New "Diamonds" Collection
Five decades ago, an aspiring singer/songwriter named Reginald Dwight, frontman for a band named Bluesology, answered an ad in the New Musical Express placed by an A&R man for Liberty Records. At the ensuing meeting, Dwight was given a stack of lyrics written by someone who'd answered the same ad: an up and coming lyricist named Bernie Taupin. Dwight wrote a melody to Taupin's lyrics, placed the ensuing song in the post--and thus started a partnership that continues to this day, with scores

They Don't Love You Like I Love You: Yeah Yeah Yeahs to Expand Debut Album
Wait: Fever to Tell, the breakthrough debut album by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, is being expanded to commemorate the band's first 15 years of recording. From the exciting New York City music scene at the dawn of the 21st century, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs--singer Karen O, guitarist/keyboardist Nick Zinner and drummer Brian Chase--were responsible for avant-garde dance punk that was visceral yet still beautiful and melodic. (London's The Times brilliantly described them as a mix of Blondie and Siouxsie
