Now, it's
Review: The Rolling Stones' "Goats Head Soup 2020" Box Set Is Sure To Satisfy Your Hunger
Goats Head Soup: as far as Rolling Stones albums go, it's an outlier. It's not a "landmark album" in the same way as Sticky Fingers, it didn't defy expectations in the same way as Exile. It didn't herald a new sound like Beggars Banquet or Let It Bleed. Now, that's not to say it's not a great album, but it just feels...different. After the one-two-three-four punches of Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and the magnum opus Exile on Main Street, it makes sense that fans had long
UPDATE: Universal Addresses Playback Issues with Richard and Linda Thompson's "Hard Luck Stories" Box Set, Offers Replacement Discs
UPDATE 9/24: Just days prior to the U.S. release date of Richard and Linda Thompson's box set Hard Luck Stories (1972-1982), it became known that some copies of the collection were plagued by playback issues and difficulty ripping the discs to one's personal computer.

We're sharing that statement (which is also available at uDiscovermusic.com, the label's

Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs was celebrated back in 2011 with a deluxe, cross-format box set that featured the remastered original album (on CD, vinyl and in a 5.1 surround mix on DVD), 1973's In Concert, and a disc of 13 bonus tracks, including new mixes of outtakes from the supergroup's unfinished
Love on a Real Train: Tangerine Dream Collect Early '80s Works in 'Pilots of Purple Twilight'

Soundtrack Watch: September Slates for Varese, La-La Land, Intrada
September was an unusually bountiful month for archival soundtracks, and we're here to break it all down. Varese Goes West, Revisits Buddy Holly The latest title in Varese Sarabande's CD Club was an expansion of Elmer Bernstein's heroic score to the 1999 blockbuster Wild Wild West. Though the film somewhat infamously broke co-star Will Smith's ironclad grip on the July 4 weekend box office after star turns in Independence Day (1996) and Men In Black (1997), the weird cult charm of this
Here We Go In The Years: Neil Young Unveils Track Listing for "Archives, Volume 2: 1972-1976"
It's been a long time since Neil Young released his last Archives box set. In the intervening 11 years since Neil released Archives, Volume 1: 1963-1972, fans have endlessly speculated what might be on Volume 2 - or if it might happen at all. Well, it's happening. And although Neil has yet to unveil all the details, he has now announced the complete track listing for Archives, Volume 2: 1972-1976. The 10-CD set will be released on November 20 exclusively through his Neil Young Archives
Short Takes: Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen Share Details on Future Box Sets
Over the past few days, two rock legends dished on some upcoming catalogue projects while discussing their latest musical works. On Friday, in a new interview with Billboard, Elvis Costello talked about next month's Hey Clockface, releasing October 30 - but also let slip some details about another series of reissues around his first decade of material: Recently I went to a meeting at a record company for the first time since the '90s [at Universal, which last year renewed its global license
Review: Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets "Live At The Roundhouse" Takes Audiences Back In Time
It's been said that music is the closest thing we have to time travel. Case in point: the new live album and concert film from Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets. Released today, September 18, Live At The Roundhouse captures the former Pink Floyd drummer and his supergroup of talented friends - guitarists Lee Harris and Gary Kemp, keyboardist Dom Beken, and longtime Floyd associate Guy Pratt on bass - as they tackle some of Pink Floyd's earliest deep cuts in the famed London venue.

Pour Down Like Silver: Richard and Linda Thompson Box Out Tomorrow in U.S.
Though they've been separated personally and professionally for almost four decades, Richard and Linda Thompson are still recognized as one of the most significant musical duos of their generation. Fairport Convention co-founder Richard first teamed with Linda as a member of folk-rock group The Bunch, releasing one album in 1972; in October of that year, they became husband and wife. From a purely musical standpoint, the marriage of guitarist-songwriter Richard to vocalist Linda was a completely

Great Gosh A'Mighty: Two More Little Richard Albums Expanded by Omnivore
This Friday, September 18, Omnivore will release two expanded editions from the one and only Little Richard.

Watching The Wheels: Kenneth Womack's New Biography "John Lennon: 1980" Offers A Comprehensive Look At The Artist's Later Days
John Lennon has been in the news a lot lately, and with good reason. 2020 marks what would have been the musician's 80th birthday and, sadly, it's also the fortieth year since his death. But there's more to that final year of John's life than the tragic events of December 8, 1980. In his new biography, John Lennon: 1980 - The Last Days in the Life, Beatles expert Kenneth Womack tracks that period of creativity and reinvention, writing in a way that's simultaneously approachable yet
Varese Boots Up Expanded 'Hackers' Soundtrack

Next week, its original soundtrack is being expanded for its anniversary, complete with some surprising cameos from a classic rock legend. The film followed a group of young, elite, underground programmers who accidentally stumble upon a computer virus-assisted plot to
Review: July, "The Complete Recordings" Traces Over 50 Years of the Beloved Psych-Rock Band
They might not be a household name, but July is a band you ought to know. The U.K. psych-rockers have garnered a cult following since the release of their self-titled 1968 record. Original mono copies sell for more than three grand online, but its not just the scarcity and desirability of the album that raises eyebrows; it's the high quality of the music. Though their singles may not have charted back in the day, the five-piece Ealing-based group is still considered by psych-rock enthusiasts
Pearl Jam's 'Unplugged' Set Gets Wide Release In October
One of the first major live sets by Pearl Jam - a stunning, stripped-down session for MTV Unplugged - will get a wide release in October. The band announced yesterday that the seven-song 1992 broadcast will bow on CD and digital formats on October 22, almost a year after its vinyl debut for Record Store Day Black Friday. Less than a year before, the quintet fired the first salvo in what would be considered rock's grunge explosion with the release of debut album Ten. Along with Alice In
