Genesis' Tony Banks Goes "A Chord Too Far" On Career-Spanning Box Set
It's been a pretty great year for fans of Genesis. This morning, the news broke of upcoming reissues from Phil Collins. Earlier this year, reissues arrived from Mike Rutherford and Anthony Phillips, and Steve Hackett released his latest solo album. (A reissue of the 1986 album by Hackett's band GTR is on the way, and a box set of Hackett's Charisma recordings is due later this year, too.) All has been fairly quiet on the Peter Gabriel front, but even Gabriel has some vinyl remasters on the
Bill Wyman Opens The Vault Doors with "The Solo Box," "Complete Willie and the Poor Boys" Sets
Earlier this year, erstwhile Rolling Stone bassist Bill Wyman released Back to Basics, his fifth solo album and first in over two decades.

The 4-CD/1-DVD White Lightnin': The Solo Box reissues and expands Wyman's

Review: Simon and Garfunkel, "The Complete Columbia Albums Collection" and "The Concert in Central Park"
When Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel took the stage on April 24, 2010 at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, it's doubtful that many in the audience knew they were witnessing the end of one chapter in the story of Simon & Garfunkel. That concert marked the final time that the famous duo have performed together to date, but over five years later, the specter of Simon & Garfunkel still looms large over both men. It's no surprise; the question of a reunion cropped up almost

It Might As Well Be Spring: Esoteric Reissues Cult Favorite By Prog Rock Band
Esoteric Recordings, an imprint of the Cherry Red Group, continues to mine gold for fans of the more progressive sounds coming out of the fertile, late-1960s/early 1970s British music scene.

Review: Various Artists, "Here Today! The Songs of Brian Wilson"
The title of Ace Records' recent collection is Here Today! The Songs of Brian Wilson, after one of those famous Wilson songs off The Beach Boys' 1966 Pet Sounds. But the fact of the matter is - as this enjoyably diverse set proves over the course of its 25 tracks - Brian Wilson's music is not only here today, but will be here for many tomorrows. Unlike Ace's 2003 volume Pet Projects: The Brian Wilson Productions, this anthology concentrates on Brian as songwriter. But there are a couple of
