Run Back to Mama: Ace's "Horn Rock" Anthology Features Chase, Blood Sweat and Tears, Delaney and Bonnie, More
The new collection on Ace Records' BGP imprint packs a mighty punch. That's because it's dedicated to Horn Rock (with the equally-important subtitle And Funky Guitar Grooves), that boldest and brassiest of rock subgenres. The phrase "horn rock" immediately brings to mind the sound popularized by Chicago and Blood, Sweat & Tears (only one of which is represented here) but the added colors afforded by horns were applied to recordings in the baroque-rock, art-rock, psych-rock, and jazz-rock

Catch Them If You Can: Classic Titles From The Dave Clark Five Land on Digital Services
Fans of The Dave Clark Five have good reason to feel glad all over! The band was among the leaders of the British Invasion, with a flair for hit singles like "Glad All Over," "Because," and "Catch Us If You Can."

This means that their wealth of music has largely gone un-mined by the majors in the reissue era, outside of the excellent 1993
