Over three years after the release of its 8LP vinyl box set American Dreamer 1967-1978, the Madfish label is returning to the discography of late singer-songwriter Laura Nyro for the December 6 release of Hear My Song: The Collection 1966-1995. Whereas American Dreamer chronicled Nyro's first decade of music, the 19CD Hear My Song is a career-spanning appreciation of the artist who influenced such talents as Elton John, Barry Manilow, Todd Rundgren, Stephen Schwartz, Rickie Lee Jones, Melissa

Set the Night on Fire: The Doors Announce 60th Anniversary Campaign
2025 marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of The Doors. Though the eponymous debut album from Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore didn't hit stores until January 1967, the foursome was already a seasoned one, having served as house band at the famed Whisky a Go Go since mid-1966. To celebrate 60 years since that fateful day when Manzarek met his old UCLA classmate Morrison on a California beach and the two decided to form a band, Rhino has announced a number of
A "Runaway" Hit: Bon Jovi Prep Physical Deluxe Edition of Debut Album

All Around Man: Rory Gallagher's BBC Recordings Set for Heavy Duty Box
The influential guitar work of Rory Gallagher will be celebrated next month in an exhaustive box that collects hours of his live recordings for the BBC. The BBC Collection, available October 11, is an 18CD/2 Blu-ray set that mines both the radio service and the late musician's personal archives to bring together his in-studio appearances, live concerts, television specials and even a radio documentary. This box, of course, supersedes a 1999 double-disc collection of BBC highlights, offering
The Jungle is Your Head: U2 Prep 'Atomic Bomb' Box
Hello, hello: U2 will revisit their 11th album - and, depending on where you stand, the end of one era and the start of another - with a deluxe box set edition of How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. The set, available November 22 - exactly 20 years to the day of its original release - will feature five CDs or eight LPs of music: the original album, new collections of unreleased demos and vintage remixes, and the debut audio release of Vertigo 2005 - Live from Chicago, released on DVD in 2005 in
Pictures Came and Broke Your Heart: Cherry Red to Release Bruce Woolley and The Camera Club Collection
Everyone knows the story: at the stroke of midnight on August 1, 1981, the new cable station Music Television (MTV) first aired, playing a steady stream of heretofore little-seen "music videos" that redefined pop music for the rest of the decade. Their first, of course, was The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star": a prescient choice, though not even a single from the '80s (it topped the U.K. charts and dented the U.S. Top 40 in 1979!) - and, as a new collection from Cherry Red underlines, The
Crawling from the Wreckage: Omnivore Preps Double-Disc Collection of Dave Edmunds' Complete Swan Song Singles
From his very first solo hit in 1970 (a cover of Dave Bartholomew's "I Hear You Knocking") to his final album release (2015's On Guitar...Rags and Classics), Welsh guitarist-singer-songwriter-producer Dave Edmunds proselytized for the power of pure rock-and-roll. Whether stripping the sound down to basics or doing a spot-on emulation of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound, Edmunds emphasized the joy of the genre. In January 1972, he released his first solo album: Rockpile. Its title would augur

Dying to Meet You: Judas Priest's Debut Revisited with Definitive Remix
It took 50 years, but Judas Priest have finally perfected the way they want their debut to sound. The British metal icons will reissue 1974's Rocka Rolla on November 22 - one of the first truly sanctioned releases of the first album by the group - with a brand-new remix from the original multi-track tapes by producer Tom Allom. "I'm just thrilled," frontman Rob Halford said in a statement. "Tom Allom is giving us a second chance here with the way that a lot of the elements were lost in
Qu'est-ce que c'est? Talking Heads' Debut Gets Box Set Treatment

I'll Wear It Proudly: Elvis Costello Coronates 'King of America' for New Box Set
When King of America became Rhino's penultimate Elvis Costello reissue in 2005, a hype sticker cheekily hailed it as "the album that fans, critics and Elvis Costello all agree on." Perhaps that's why it'll be the next of his classic albums to receive a deluxe box set this fall. King of America and Other Realms, available November 1, follows the super deluxe, vinyl-and-digital-only The Complete Armed Forces box; however, this one's primarily available on CD - six of 'em, in total. The
This Time La Luna: Duran Duran Expand 'Danse Macabre' One Year from Its Original Release
As we get closer to the time when there's a chill in the air and a penchant for "spooky season," Duran Duran are getting back into the spirit with an expanded version of their last album, meant to celebrate all things strange and unusual. 2023's Danse Macabre came just two years after the release of Future Past in 2021 - the shortest gap between new LPs from the band since the mid-'90s. The band were certainly riding high: Future Past was a celebration of what made the Birmingham group so

Joy in Repetition: Cherry Red's 'Dearly Beloved' Pays Tribute to Prince, the Songwriter
Between the muted 40th anniversary celebration of Purple Rain and the bizarre drama over an estate-sanctioned Netflix documentary on his life and career, Prince fans could probably use a win lately. A new compilation from Cherry Red looks like it might finally offer one. Dearly Beloved - A Prince Songbook is an unexpectedly robust-looking 3CD set that will pay tribute to the Minneapolis icon as a songwriter - one whose classic hits have become pop standards, with so much talent overflowing
