Between What's Going On and Let's Get It On, Marvin Gaye released a masterwork that still remains one of the less-heralded items in his remarkable '70s catalogue. Trouble Man was the soundtrack to a 20th Century-Fox "blaxploitation" film, and while it was Gaye's only foray into film scoring, it proved that the Motown superstar could hold his own against the other soul stars-turned-film composers such as Isaac Hayes and Curtis Mayfield - as if there was ever any doubt. The soundtrack album made

Mystic Lady: Modern Harmonic Reissues Nancy Priddy's "You've Come This Way Before"
Nancy Priddy titled her 1968 Dot Records LP You've Come This Way Before but the actress-singer actually hadn't followed many footsteps in creating her debut album. Modern Harmonic, which has just reissued it on a splendid new vinyl pressing, describes the lost gem as "Dreamy Psych Baroque Pop."

I Sing To Know I'm Alive: Lost Nina Simone Classic Reissued on CD, LP in April
Few singers could conjure as much emotion through words and tone as Nina Simone. While many of her best-known albums from the '60s and '70s have become widely available in recent years, music from her ex-U.S. years have been much harder to find.

Decades out-of-print on a major label, the album will be re-released by Verve and UMe - complete with new cover art - on April 3. Whether
