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
Real Gone Music seem to be taking a quick break from their soundtrack series to bring two cult classic albums from jazz and folk-rock: Norma Tanega's 1966 album Walkin' My Cat Named Dog spotlights quirky, pop-leaning folk music; while Airto's 1970 effort Natural Feelings presents the percussion maestro's debut as a bandleader. 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

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
Control [Vinyl]
Janet Jackson's breakthrough album is returning to vinyl for its first-ever reissue. After two records with little crossover appeal, Control found Janet putting her artistic vision front and center. Working with writer/producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (ex-members of The Time who certainly learned a lot from their time with Prince), Janet's third album was sexy, unapologetically feminine and brimming with radio-friendly beats. Over a year, five of its singles - "What Have You Done For Me
