That release is

UPDATED: Edsel Collects Kiki Dee’s “The Rocket Years” on New Box Set
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 she would finally take flight as a top-tier blue-eyed soul singer. The Edsel label has long championed Kiki's work on various reissues; now, they've
More Sides: Phil Collins To Release Digital B-Side, Remix Collections
When Phil Collins' Take a Look At Me Now... reissue campaign commenced in 2016, some fans were understandably, justifiably sore at the exclusion of most of his rarest material - non-LP B-sides and remixes - in favor of unreleased demos or, more often, non-contemporaneous live material sitting next to the original albums on bonus discs. This month, Rhino will finally collect that much-coveted material - albeit in digital form - on two new compilations: Other Sides and Remixed Sides, due May
Back To The Love Shack: B-52’s Celebrate 30 Years of ‘Cosmic Thing’ With Expanded Reissue

If You Love Me: Elvis Costello’s “Purse” Reaches Wider Audience With Digital Release

UPDATED: Different Drummer: Edsel Collects Michael Nesmith’s RCA and Pacific Arts Years on New Box Set
And the Hits Just Keep On Comin'. Michael Nesmith titled his 1972 RCA album ironically - when it "bubbled under" the Billboard 200 at No. 208, it actually bested its predecessor by three slots - but the LP did feature the once and future Monkee's rendition of one major favorite, "Different Drum." The 1965 tune became an enduring hit for the Stone Poneys featuring Linda Ronstadt in 1967, establishing Nesmith outside of The Monkees. Since 1968, he's released 16 studio albums. Recently, 12 of
Review: David Bowie, “Spying Through a Keyhole (Demos and Unreleased Songs)”
Can you hear me, Major Tom? In the late 1960s, David Bowie was an artist deeply hoping to be heard. A handful of singles and an album on Deram Records had failed to rocket him to the stars. But Bowie continued writing, recording, and shopping his songs around in hopes of the elusive next deal that would take him to the next level. As such, Bowie left a great many demo recordings behind. Due to current EU copyright laws, right holders have been required to release previously unissued
What Are We Craving? Real Gone Delivers Folk-Rock from Norma Tanega and Fusion from Airto on Vinyl

Both albums will be reissues in limited quantities on June 7! First discovered while singing at a summer camp in the Catskills of New York, Norma Tanega won the
He’s Got a Way: Billy Joel Celebrates His 70th Birthday With Live Rarities on Digital Collection

Rhino is celebrating a half century of ZZ Top with a new, multi-format compilation due this summer.

Nothing Compares: ‘Originals’ Collects Prince’s Demos of Songs Given to Others
There are few artists as prolific as Prince. His legendary Vault is said to contain hundreds of albums' worth of material. On June 7 -- what would have been Prince's 61st birthday -- The Prince Estate and Warner Bros. Records will issue Originals, a new album of further treasures from the archives.

You Can Do Magic: America’s Capitol Years Collected on New Box Set
After seven albums in as many years, Dan Peek departed America, leaving Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell to carry on in the band the trio formed. The first release from the new duo line-up was 1977's Live, but it also marked the end of an era as America's final album on Warner Bros. Records. Following that LP, Beckley and Bunnell briefly retreated from the studio; the pair didn't return with a new studio album for almost two years. When they did, it was at a new label: Hollywood's venerable

For more than 50 years, the voice of James Taylor has been that of an old friend, offering warmth, comfort, and reassurance in song.
