Late last year, Warner Music Group's Rhino label confirmed that, after a ten-year break, it would once again be home to the Avenue Records catalogue. The first release under the new deal celebrated the career of Avenue's marquee band, WAR. That limited edition Record Store Day Black Friday reissue of the band's 1976 Greatest Hits was followed this year by another Record Store Day release, WAR: The Vinyl 1971-1975. That box collected WAR (1971); All Day Music (1971); The World Is a Ghetto

Sweet Dream: Jethro Tull's 'Benefit' Gets 50th Anniversary Remix, Expansion
With 1970's Benefit, Jethro Tull continued to refine their sound. The blues/jazz fusion of the band's debut This Was had already ceded to a more eclectic style on Stand Up; Benefit would edge Tull towards riff-rock while still maintaining the folk and jazz touchstones that set the band apart. Benefit ultimately became a best-seller, setting the stage for 1971's Aqualung and the even greater international successes that followed. In 2013, Benefit was expanded as a 2CD/DVD set featuring new

Direct from Hollywood: Frank Zappa's "200 Motels" Turns 50, Goes Super Deluxe
1971 was a banner year for cinema with such all-time classics as The French Connection, A Clockwork Orange, Carnal Knowledge, The Last Picture Show, and Shaft. The highest-grossing film of the year in North America was United Artists' Fiddler on the Roof. But Fiddler wasn't the studio's only musical of the year. Mere days before the Broadway adaptation hit cinemas, UA opened one of the most wild, inventive, outré, and unhinged films of the year: 200 Motels. Written, co-directed, and composed

Are You Ready for the Sex Girls? Omnivore Reissues Gleaming Spires Discography
"Of the hundreds of new records unleashed on the public each year, few stand out as truly inspired, literate works of art," began Sparks' Russell Mael in his liner notes to Gleaming Spires' 1981 debut Song of the Spires. "Fewer still go beyond that. Though I have not personally had the time to listen to this, the Gleaming Spires' first recorded effort, two of my bridge partners tell me that this record goes way, way beyond." Sparks' tongue-in-cheek endorsement (to which Russell's brother Ron
