Tom Waits' Wild Years on Island Records to Be Remastered and Reissued This Fall
After an already-unorthodox career as one of the most unique singers of the '70s, Tom Waits went on to reinvent his idiosyncratic sound as the '80s dawned. The fruits of that labor - a five-album stint on Island Records - will be revisited this fall in a series of CD and vinyl reissues. The five albums Waits issued for the label between 1983 and 1993 - the loose trilogy Swordfishtrombones (1983), Rain Dogs (1985) and Franks Wild Years (1987), and the follow-ups Bone Machine (1992) and The
The Right Thing to Do: Carly Simon Reflects On Her Early Career with Elektra's Jac Holzman on "These Are The Good Old Days"
Carly Simon's self-titled debut album arrived on Elektra Records in the spring of 1971, nestled in the label's discography between singer-songwriter Paul Siebel's Jack-Knife Gypsy and folk band Farquahr's eponymous LP. Carly wasn't quite a stranger to the music business, having recorded three albums for the Kapp and Columbia labels with her sister Lucy as The Simon Sisters, but her solo debut augured for a major talent. She was signed by the label's founder, Jac Holzman, beginning an association

Got a Hold on Me: Christine McVie's Solo Works Returning to Print

A Thing Called Love: The Darkness Ask for 'Permission to Land...Again' in Deluxe Edition of Debut
It might've been the last thing anyone expected to hear on the radio in 2003: a swaggering rock tune with faux-operatic vocals and a guitar tone reminiscent of Queen's Brian May. Was it some lost outtake from the '70s? No: it was the seriously fun "I Believe in a Thing Called Love," which heralded one of the country's most unique bands: The Darkness. Now, 20 years on, the group is revisiting their first recordings with an all-out box set edition of their debut album Permission to

Not So 'Last' Splash: The Breeders' Landmark Album Gets Reissued with Two Unheard Tracks
