One of the first major live sets by Pearl Jam - a stunning, stripped-down session for MTV Unplugged - will get a wide release in October. The band announced yesterday that the seven-song 1992 broadcast will bow on CD and digital formats on October 22, almost a year after its vinyl debut for Record Store Day Black Friday. Less than a year before, the quintet fired the first salvo in what would be considered rock's grunge explosion with the release of debut album Ten. Along with Alice In
Pinch Me: Barenaked Ladies’ ‘Maroon’ Celebrates 20 Years with Expanded Vinyl
After crossing over from Canadian cult act to international hitmakers through the '90s, Barenaked Ladies entered a new decade with their fifth album Maroon in 2000. Next month, Rhino is expanding and reissuing the album, adding five rare tracks into the running order, pressing it on 180-gram, double (what else?) maroon-colored vinyl. The new pressing will be available in early 2021, while a digital version of the same set is now available to stream and download. Maroon followed 1998's Stunt,

Elevate Your Soul: U2 Announces 20th Anniversary Editions of “All That You Can’t Leave Behind”
It's a beautiful day, or at least it will be on October 30, when U2 will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their acclaimed album All That You Can't Leave Behind. It was the album that put the band back on the charts and heralded something of a return to form after some experimental excursions in the mid-to-late '90s. The Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno-produced album won seven Grammy Awards including Best Rock Album, Song of the Year ("Beautiful Day") and, for the only time in history, two
House of a Thousand Guitars: Bruce Springsteen Announces New Album, “Letter To You”
Today, Bruce Springsteen announced his latest project, a new album called Letter to You due on October 23. His 20th album features all the members of the E Street Band and was produced by Springsteen and Ron Aniello. It sees Bruce Springsteen looking forward and back. He revisits a trio of songs that were written across the decades: "Janey Needs a Shooter," "If I Was the Priest" and "Song for Orphans." "I love the emotional nature of Letter to You," says Springsteen in a statement. "And I

David Bowie's third album The Man Who Sold The World will be remixed and reissued for its 50th anniversary this fall.

Funny and You Don’t Know Why: The Second Disc’s Bandcamp Friday Picks for September
On March 20, as the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic was just starting to be understood, indie music retailer Bandcamp made the bold choice of waiving their share of revenue for artists and labels who were cancelling shows and delaying album releases left and right. The result was more music bought by more fans than any day on the site, a record broken on the first Friday of May. Bandcamp Fridays have since taken place in June, July and August - plus the first of an annual occurrence when the

Diamonds In The Rough: John Prine’s First Seven Albums Collected In New Box
One of the more difficult side effects of this very strange year is bidding farewell to a number of musical luminaries due to the COVID-19 pandemic. John Prine's passing looms large among them, not only as one of the first cases but in light of the incredible few years he'd had: in 2018, his 18th album The Tree of Forgiveness became his first-ever Top 5 album, and in February 2020, only two months before he died, he earned a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. On October 23, fans new and old
Review: Andrew Gold, “Lonely Boy: The Asylum Years Anthology”
The Asylum Records discography of pop polymath Andrew Gold has been well-addressed in the CD era - first via international CD reissues, then individual expanded editions on the U.S. Collectors' Choice label, and an all-encompassing set in 2013 from the U.K.'s Edsel label. But one thing had eluded Gold: a bona fide box set. Cherry Red and Esoteric Recordings have delivered with Lonely Boy: The Asylum Years Anthology, a 6-CD/1-DVD compendium celebrating the late artist (1951-2011) with

The Way It Goes: Esoteric Collects Albums from David Gilmour-Produced Band Unicorn
Unicorn went through a number of names before the band settled on that mystical creature: The Senders, The Pink Bear, The Late Edition, The Late, and just plain Late. The band wasn't late at all - rather, they were right on time in combining their influences into a striking sound of their own. They'd started as a beat group and put those skills to use backing Billy J. Kramer; then, the discovery of the Southern California sounds of CSN became a major influence. Unicorn blended CSN-style
John Lennon 80 Campaign Kicks Off With New Box Set “Gimme Some Truth”
On October 9, John Lennon would have turned 80 years old. To mark the occasion, Capitol and UMe will be releasing a new multi-format collection entitled Gimme Some Truth: The Ultimate Mixes after his still-relevant 1971 protest single of that name. But this set - out on John's birthday - won't resemble the 2010 box of nearly the same title (celebrating his 70th). Instead, the Deluxe Edition release features 36 all-new mixes from the original multi-tracks of solo Lennon classics, remixed in

True to Themselves: Omnivore Announces New Album from Badfinger’s Joey Molland and Wax Cylinder (!) from Dom Flemons
As the only living member of the original Badfinger quartet, it's fallen to Joey Molland to keep the torch burning brightly for his old band. But in addition to touring as Joey Molland's Badfinger, the Liverpool-born singer-songwriter-guitarist/rock and roll survivor has recorded a number of solo albums since 1984. Last year, he appeared in the well-received tour of It Was Fifty Years Ago Today: A Tribute to The Beatles' White Album alongside such talents as Todd Rundgren, Micky Dolenz,
