The Replacements are releasing their first-ever box set. Dead Man's Pop is a 4-CD/1-LP set reimagining their sixth album and third for Sire Records, Don't Tell a Soul. While Don't Tell a Soul remains the group's best-selling album and one of their most acclaimed, The Replacements were never fully satisfied with its sound. Hence, Dead Man's Pop. The first disc features a new mix by original producer Matt Wallace, based on his 1988 Paisley Park mix. This new version, Don't Tell a Soul Redux,

Da Doo Rendezvous: Cherry Red Collects Valerie Carter's Columbia Albums
I always cook with honey/To sweeten up the night/We always cook with honey/Tell me, how's your appetite/For some sweet love? Valerie Carter liked to cook with honey. Her dish was music-making, and the honey was the lilting yet expressive voice which made her incisive compositions (including "Cook with Honey," a hit for Judy Collins) go down so easy. Cherry Red's Cherry Tree imprint has recently brought together the late singer-songwriter's two Columbia albums, originally released in 1977
Lightning Crashes: Live Reissue "Throwing Copper" With Bonus Tracks, Live Woodstock Set
In April 1994, the alternative rock heroes Live released Throwing Copper. The band already had a reputation as one of the most powerful and dynamic of the alternative rock scene off the heels of their 1991 debut, and when Throwing Copper topped the Billboard 200 chart in 1995, their renown only grew. The Jerry Harrison-produced album spawned two No. 1 singles on the Modern Rock Charts, "Lightning Crashes" and "Selling the Drama," and eventually, the record would be certified 8x Platinum by the

Inherit the Earth: The Replacements' New Box Set Premieres Unreleased Tracks, Including Tom Waits Session, Live Concert, and More
Don't tell a soul? The Replacements are releasing their first-ever box set. The hell-raising Minneapolis rockers have proudly told the story of stealing a clutch of tapes from their onetime home of Twin/Tone Records and chucking them into the Mississippi River back in 1987. But happily, the band was more careful about subsequent masters, and the year later, held onto a stash of tapes that now will provide the basis of Dead Man's Pop, a 4-CD/1-LP set reimagining their sixth album and third for

Much of the performance was released decades ago on LaserDisc with a total of 18 songs, but Real Gone's new
Blinded by the Light: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada / Barnes and Noble Exclusive Orange Vinyl August 14 sees the theatrical release of Blinded by the Light, a new coming-of-age film inspired by Sarfraz Manzoor's Greetings from Bury Park: Race, Religion and Rock N' Roll.

If You Like Piña Coladas: "NOW" Series Celebrates Yacht Rock on New Volume
Shimmering guitars, breezy horns, smooth keyboards, and crisp vocals on well-crafted songs with catchy choruses: all of those qualities might have once described "soft rock" or "adult-oriented rock," but more recently the genre has experienced a resurgence as "yacht rock." Though the term was originally intended in a pejorative way, it's come to be accepted by many of the progenitors of the genre including Michael McDonald and John Oates. There's an entire book on the yacht rock phenomenon, a
Seeds and Stems: Cherry Red Collects Rarities from Iain Matthews on "Orphans and Outcasts"
Few artists of the rock generation can boast as diverse a C.V. as Iain (sometimes Ian) Matthews. The Fairport Convention founder went on to front Matthews' Southern Comfort and Plainsong as well as record under his own name in the pop, folk, country, and rock idioms, often blending those styles together. In his first decade alone, Matthews recorded for the Deram, Polydor, Island, Uni, Vertigo, Elektra, and CBS/Columbia labels - and at virtually every label, material was left behind. Between
