Now Sounds clearly can't resist another tip-toe thru the tulips. Following the 2013 reissue of Tiny Tim's debut God Bless Tiny Tim (1968) as an expanded mono edition, the Cherry Red imprint has recently returned to the catalogue of the late "Human Canary" for his Complete Singles Collection (1965-1970). Twenty years after Tiny Tim's passing at the age of 64, his music remains equally beguiling and bewildering. These tracks, culled from his recordings at Blue Cat, Reprise and Scepter, find
Silk Purse
Linda Ronstadt's second solo album returns to CD from Varese Vintage.

Natural Love: The Scotti Brothers Recordings
In the early years of the 1980s, Petula Clark was signed to the Scotti Brothers label in the U.S. and starring in a revival of The Sound of Music in the West End. During this busy period, she released several singles for Scotti but an album never materialized...until now.Natural Love - The Scotti Brothers Recordings collects all of these tracks (plus Pet's rare Epic U.K. single with "Edelweiss" and "Darkness") in one place so this era of Clark's music may be better appreciated.

Kings of the Wild Frontier [Various Editions]
Kings of the Wild Frontier remains a pivotal album in post-punk history, as well as a major turning point for Ant himself.

Joe Jackson's "I'm the Man" Returns On Vinyl From Intervention Records
Joe Jackson appears on the cover of his 1979 sophomore album, I'm the Man, as a "spiv": a British term for a peculiar kind of petty criminal "always trying to sell you a watch or something like that, real cheap," in the artist's words. But Jackson didn't have to resort to any cheap come-ons to hawk I'm the Man, a solid follow-up to his impressive debut Look Sharp! which arrived just months after that seminal release. Despite the quick turnaround, I'm the Man hailed from the same inspired

Happy Birthday, Bobby: Darin's "Another Song on My Mind: The Motown Years" ARRIVES TOMORROW!
Will the real Bobby Darin please stand up? Between his first single in 1956 and his final recordings in 1973, the artist born Walden Robert Cassotto on May 14, 1936 blazed his path through rock-and-roll, big-band swing, jazz, R&B, soul, country, folk, pop, rock, and everything in between. Yet each reinvention was genuine, and each represented the real Bobby Darin. The driven artist brought fervor and passion to every style he tackled throughout his tragically-short life. Tomorrow,

All Over the Place: Early Bangles Collection Gets Physical Release from Omnivore
Before they ascended to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1986 with the Prince-penned "Manic Monday"--heck, before they were even signed to Columbia Records, where they made three killer power-pop records in one of pop's most interesting decades--The Bangles were at the forefront of a subset of Los Angeles rock music known as the "Paisley Underground." A new compilation released on Omnivore Recordings will lift the curtain on those often-overlooked years. As they were originally known, The

Hang In Long Enough: "...But Seriously," Revised "Going Back" Complete Phil Collins Reissue Campaign
The Take a Look At Me Now campaign has featured reissues of all of Collins' solo albums, each with a disc of bonus material personally selected by Collins, featuring mostly unreleased demos and live material.
