Last year, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell, a.k.a. America, released two significant archival collections bookending their still-thriving career. Archives Vol. 1 presented 15 previously unreleased alternate versions, early mixes, demos, rehearsals and outtakes spanning the halcyon period between America's 1971 debut album America and 1975's Hearts. These, of course, featured Beckley and Bunnell in addition to original member Dan Peek. Lost and Found pressed fast-forward on the band's history

Bobby Darin was a remarkable singer-songwriter; another beloved titan of popular song is the late Dan
Playing In The Band: Rhino Unveils 12-CD, 3-CD Sets For Grateful Dead's July 1978 Concerts
There's more Dead on the way from Rhino. 1978 was a successful year for Grateful Dead on many levels.

Review: Raspberries, "Raspberries" Vinyl Edition
When Eric Carmen and Wally Bryson of Cyrus Eyrie teamed up with Jim Bonfanti and Dave Smalley of The Choir, the result was pop bliss. The Raspberries emerged from the ashes from the two bands, and over the course of four albums - three with the original line-up, and one with just Carmen and Bryson remaining - they came to define power pop. Yet today, some might wonder: Why is the Cleveland, Ohio band so fondly remembered despite only placing one Top 5 single in the U.S. and two more Top 20s?

In Memoriam: George Martin (1926-2016)
Late last evening, March 8, Ringo Starr took to Twitter with a loving message of sad news: "God bless George Martin peace and love to Judy and his family love Ringo and Barbara George will be missed xxx." With the passing of Sir George Martin at the age of 90, the world has lost one of the most influential producers of all time. Had Martin "only" produced the majority of The Beatles' recordings, his place in the pantheon of history would have been assured. But Martin's contributions to

Special Shout-Out to This Year's Reissue Grammy Winners; Legacy Leads Catalogue Pack
The 58th Annual Grammy awards were held a little over a week ago and there were numerous winners. The Grammys have so many categories that the majority are not given out on the actual television broadcast. Even though we're a little late, we'd like to give acknowledgment to the winners from reissue and catalogue labels who picked up an award, some for categories that aren't always exclusively associated with reissues. The biggest winner of the night for reissue labels was Sony's Legacy
Go Your Own Way: Fleetwood Mac's "In Concert" Gets Standalone Vinyl Release
Last December, Fleetwood Mac expanded its seminal album Tusk to box set proportions.

RPM Collects Mod-Rockers The Mickey Finn, Reissues Two Albums From Tim Rose
Cherry Red's RPM label closed out 2015 on a high note with a couple of releases in today's spotlight, from mod rockers The Mickey Finn and singer-songwriter Tim Rose. The Mickey Finn traveled in the same circles as The Rolling Stones and The Pretty Things, but despite some very close calls, the band never hit the big time. Garden of My Mind: The Complete Recordings collects The Mickey Finn's 1964-1967 Blue Beat, Oriole, Columbia, Polydor and Direction singles along with previously unreleased

Souvenirs: Esoteric Reissues Two Albums From Welsh Prog Band Eyes of Blue
The Welsh progressive rock band Eyes of Blue had its share of ups and downs - the "ups" certainly including gigs opening for The Spencer Davis Group, The Move, The Moody Blues, The Who, and Led Zeppelin, and the "downs" relating to the promising group's flameout in a short period of time. Late in 2015, Cherry Red's Esoteric Recordings imprint shone a light on Eyes of Blue with the first authorized CD releases of the band's two Mercury albums, both from 1969: Crossroads of Time and In Fields of
