Fancy: Reba McEntire's "Rumor Has It" Gets 30th Anniversary Expanded Edition
Late last year, Reba McEntire celebrated 25 years of her Read My Mind album with an anniversary expanded edition. Now, she's following that up by revisiting her 3x platinum 1990 smash Rumor Has It in similar fashion. On September 11, Rumor Has It will return from MCA Nashville in a new edition with two bonus versions of its top ten hit "Fancy": a live acoustic take recorded at Music City's famed Ryman Auditorium and a dance remix by Dave Audé (who recently remixed Barbara Mandrell's "Sleeping

Review: Paul McCartney, "Archive Collection: Flaming Pie" 2-CD and 5-CD/2-DVD Box Set Editions
Today sees the release of the latest in Paul McCartney's acclaimed Archive Collection series, Flaming Pie. Originally released in 1997, the album marked something of a comeback for McCartney, who was inspired by the spontaneous, more immediate recording techniques of The Beatles. Many heralded it as a sort of return to form upon its release, and now fans can judge for themselves with this illuminating deep dive into the Macca vaults. Like previous Archive Collection entries, Flaming Pie is

Everlasting Love: Cherry Red Expands Howard Jones' 'Cross That Line'
Cherry Red's latest reissue in their ongoing Howard Jones campaign is one of the series' most expansive yet, offering a deeper look at the singer/songwriter/synthsmith's fourth LP, Cross That Line. Released in 1989, Cross That Line found Jones in an introspective, experimental mood. His first mostly self-produced album, it featured meditations on lost relationships ("Last Supper") and extended polemics on power ("Guardians Of The Breath") nestled within its tracks. There were also classic
Back to Dirty Blvd.: Lou Reed's "New York" Gets Deluxe Box Set Treatment in September
Lou Reed went back to basics for his fifteenth solo studio album and Sire Records debut, 1989's New York. In contrast to the prevailing high-gloss, sleek, and electronic sound of the day, Reed opted for a primal sound with two guitars, bass, and drums that recalled his groundbreaking work two decades earlier with The Velvet Underground. (In fact, the VU's Moe Tucker even played percussion on a couple of tracks.) On September 25, Rhino will revisit the dark, visceral LP in a sprawling

Jack White's Third Man Records has established itself as a formidable addition to the list of fine reissue labels.

Review: Micky Dolenz, "Live in Japan" [CD/DVD Edition]
Even today, the name Kodak is synonymous with photography. But in 1980 Japan, Kodak was synonymous with The Monkees. The venerable company had scored a popular commercial there with the group's recording of "Daydream Believer," leading to a fresh wave of Monkeemania. Word spread, and soon, Davy Jones and Peter Tork were touring the country as solo acts. Micky Dolenz was third to arrive, having comfortably reestablished himself as not only a stage star but a theatrical and television
