A little less than two years following the expanded reissue of Basia’s 1987 Time and Tide, Cherry Pop has returned to the catalogue of the Polish singer-songwriter with a similarly lavish 2-CD reissue of her sophomore album, London Warsaw New York. Originally released on Epic Records in 1989, the platinum-selling album yielded one Top 40 hit and three charting Adult Contemporary singles, all in the artist’s beguiling blend of pop and vocal jazz. A Top 20 entry in the Billboard 200, the LP also

Dance to the Music! Sly and the Family Stone Vinyl Box Arrives
A little more than a week ago, on March 15, Sly Stone turned 72. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and multi-hyphenate artist has survived more than his share of ups and downs. But for a staggering period of nearly 50 years, Sly's work as composer, singer, producer and musician has continued to take listeners higher with his groundbreaking blend of funk, rhythm and blues, soul, rock, psychedelia, jazz and pop.

Love Is Everywhere: Anita Harris' Trip to "Jumbleland" Is Revisited By Cherry Red Label
Trivia: Which British songbird, in 1965, introduced “London Life,” Burt Bacharach and Hal David’s ode to Swingin’ London? Hint: It’s not Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark or Cilla Black! The answer is Anita Harris, an actress and singer who, for a short period, seemed to poised to share the charts with those illustrious names. Harris charted a quartet of hits in the U.K. in 1967-1968, most notably Tom Springfield’s “Just Loving You” (No. 6) and “The Anniversary Waltz” (No. 21). Ultimately, her

In Memoriam: Jackie Trent (1940-2015)
When I think of the songs of Jackie Trent, I think of the big sound, the pulsating brass, the bold vibrancy, the irresistible beat, the drive. With her first husband Tony Hatch, Trent penned some of the most indelible songs of a golden age of pop music – “I Couldn’t Live Without Your Love,” “Don’t Sleep in the Subway,” “The Other Man’s Grass is Always Greener,” “Joanna” – and saw her work recorded by many of the era’s most remarkable performers, among them Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Scott

Soul Deep: Raven Collects The Box Tops' Complete Studio Albums
For Alex Chilton, coping with the legacy of The Box Tops wasn’t always easy. As the band’s frontman – and future cult hero as leader of Big Star – once ruminated to the San Francisco Chronicle, “I guess my life has been a series of flukes in the record business. The first thing I ever did was the biggest record that I’ll ever have.” He was, of course, speaking of “The Letter,” the Wayne Carson Thompson song that opens Raven Records’ new 2-CD collection The Original Albums 1967-1969 containing

Don't Go Breaking Her Heart: Kiki Dee's Rocket Albums Expanded and Reissued By Edsel
When Kiki Dee was signed in 1973 to Elton John's Rocket Records label, the 26-year old was already a veteran of the music business as an in-demand background singer and a solo artist for Fontana and Motown. The former Pauline Matthews of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England had proven herself a versatile vocalist at both of those labels, but at Rocket would finally take flight as a top-tier blue-eyed soul singer with so much more to offer than just the duet part in "Don't Go Breaking My Heart."
