First Time: 7a Records Reissues Macy Gray's Jazz Gem "Stripped" on CD and Vinyl
In April 2016, Macy Gray entered an old church in Greenpoint, Brooklyn to record one of the most distinctive albums of her career. Stripped, originally released on the Chesky Records label, matched the R&B diva with a jazz quartet. On original songs, favorites from her discography, and unexpected covers alike, Gray's smoky rasp took full flight. On March 17, 7a Records - the label best-known for its deep dives into the world of The Monkees - reissues Stripped for the very first time on
Get Lucky: Daft Punk Unearth Unheard 'Memories' for Reissue of Final Album
Fans of French electronic duo Daft Punk may have been shocked when the group suddenly announced their dissolution at the start of 2021. But the robots haven't really powered down: a year later, they digitally expanded debut album Homework for its 25th anniversary, compiled an album of remixes from the era, and even showed off some limited, never-before-seen footage from an early concert following Homework's release (which shockingly showed members Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo and Thomas Bangalter
Got My Mind Set on George: BMG Acquires Rights to Harrison's Discography
Yesterday, BMG announced the latest feather in its ever-growing cap: an agreement to bring the solo recordings of George Harrison to the label as part of its reactivation of the late Beatle's own Dark Horse Records label. With Harrison's publishing already under the BMG umbrella, the deal unites Harrison's recording and publishing. To mark the occasion - and to commemorate what would have been Harrison's 80th birthday on Saturday, February 25 - BMG has released his solo discography in Dolby
Just My Salvation: Vinyl Me, Please Collects Best of Stax's Gospel Truth in New Box Set
When Memphis' Stax Records launched its Gospel Truth imprint in 1972, its mission was simple: to "carry the message of today's gospel to the people on the street." The label's Al Bell worked closely with in-house radio guru/producer/songwriter Dave Clark and staffer Mary Peak Paterson to afford Gospel Truth the same level of promotion as Stax's secular releases, and accessibility was the byword. Bell paired traditional gospel talents with young artists well-versed in rock, funk, blues, and

Holy Mackerel! Hanky Panky Collects Early Paul Williams on Two New LPs
He might have been born a someday man, but Paul Williams has proven himself to be a forever artist. A modern-day renaissance man, the Nebraska native tried his luck as an actor, a songwriter, and a singer from his earliest days in Los Angeles. A brief three-month stint peddling his tunes at The Turtles' home of White Whale Records ended in disappointment when Williams was shown the door. But he didn't have to wait long for a new opportunity. A friend played his songs for Herb Alpert and
The Magic Number: De La Soul Catalogue Coming to Streaming, with Some Amendments
One of the biggest omissions in hip-hop digital catalogue history is finally being corrected next month - and it comes alongside some news of what it'll sound like and a deeply ironic tragedy concerning the group in question. On March 3, the first six albums by rap trio De La Soul - 1989's landmark debut 3 Feel High and Rising, De La Soul is Dead (1991), Buhloone Mindstate (1993), Stakes is High (1996), Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump (2001) and AOI: Bionix (2001) - will finally be

Smokin' in the Boys Room: BMG Boxes Motley Crüe's First Five Albums on CD and LP
In fall 2022, Motley Crüe took to stages across North America for the band's first major concert tour in seven years. Co-headlining with Def Leppard, the group played to packed houses.

Get Back to the Woods: Elton John's 'Honky Château' Gets New Deluxe Edition in March
Though Elton John lavishly retired from touring with a run of shows at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles last year - part of a tour that's set box-office records - you'd be right that it wouldn't be a long, long time before we heard from him in some way, shape, or form. Indeed: now comes word that his 1972 album Honky Château will be reissued just past its 50th anniversary with a trove of rare session demos and live tracks. If Madman Across the Water - reissued and expanded last year by UMe - was
Review: Frank Zappa, "Waka/Wazoo"
Finally, a Zappa album that's safe for the whole family! Frank Zappa's pair of 1972 releases, Waka/Jawaka and The Grand Wazoo, stand as two of the most impressive and unusual in his sprawling catalogue. Forced to abandon live performing as a result of a crazed "fan" charging the stage and heaving him into an orchestra pit, the composer-bandleader spent nearly a year recovering from injuries to his face, head, ribs, arm, and leg. A wheelchair and a leg brace couldn't stop Zappa's prodigious
Turtles in Time: Waxwork Completes John Du Prez's "Ninja Turtles" Film Score Trilogy with Debut Release
While Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fever may have been cooling a bit by the release of the green gang's third film in 1993, the music to their motion pictures was still going strong. Waxwork Records, which debuted composer John Du Prez's scores to the first two films in 2018 and 2021, now offers the premiere release of his work for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. For the third go-round, the space-time continuum goes wild when an enchanted scepter makes April O'Neil (Paige Turco, reprising

Boom Boom: Craft Recordings Reissues, Expands John Lee Hooker's "Burnin'"

Singer-guitarist Hooker recorded Burnin' for the Vee-Jay label in Chicago during one November 1961 session. He was supported by the personnel who would later comprise Motown's legendary Funk Brothers house band including
Review: The Monkees, "Headquarters: Super Deluxe Edition"
It didn't take long for The Monkees to realize that they'd experienced a level of success far beyond their wildest dreams. Far from being mere actors on a television show portraying a band, they'd been thrust in front of capacity crowds in stadiums, arenas, and large auditoriums - a de facto band that, in reality, wasn't yet calling the shots on their own careers and music. That changed when Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, and Peter Tork demanded creative freedom from impresario Don
