Real Gone Music's vinyl reissue series continues August 2 with three titles: two from the astral travelers themselves, fusion heavyweights Lonnie Liston Smith & The Cosmic Echoes; and a compilation of late-era recordings by rock's original madman, Screamin' Jay Hawkins. All three will be presented in limited-edition color vinyl editions. As an alum of Miles Davis' fusion era and Roland Kirk's ensemble, pianist Lonnie Liston Smith had already made a name for himself prior to releasing his
Take Me Home Tonight: BGO Reissues Four Eddie Money Albums in One Collection
When young Eddie Mahoney changed his name to Eddie Money, it's safe to say that he had his eyes on the prize. The prize, of course, was chart success - something that the rock-and-roller achieved in abundance with such enduring hits as "Baby Hold On," "Two Tickets to Paradise," and "Take Me Home Tonight." The BGO label has recently collected four of Money's Columbia Records LPs - the second half of his discography for the label, comprising his fifth through eighth albums - on a new 2-CD set.
Pull the String: Cherry Red, SoulMusic Collect James and Bobby Purify's "Complete Bell Recordings"
With "I'm Your Puppet," the duo of James and Bobby Purify gained soul immortality. The 1966 single written by Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham went top ten Pop and top five R&B on the Billboard charts (and No. 1 R&B on Cash Box!), sold an estimated million copies, and still gets airplay today. Now, Cherry Red's SoulMusic Records imprint has brought together all of the Purifys' recordings for the Bell Records label on the 2-CD collection entitled (naturally) I'm Your Puppet: The Complete

The celebration of 50 years of America continues.

Girl of My Dreams: Cherry Red, RPM Celebrate Twinkle with "The Complete Recordings"
Twinkle, a.k.a. Lynn Ripley, may be best-remembered today for "Golden Lights," covered by The Smiths. But Morrissey (who also included her self-written "death disc" entitled "Terry" among his list of "Singles to be Cremated With") was just one of her famous fans - a rank also including Elton John and Sir Tim Rice. The Surrey-born singer went to school with Camilla Parker-Bowles, shared bills with The Beatles, Cilla Black, and Dusty Springfield, and hung out with Keith Moon and Jimi Hendrix.
Review: Morphine, "Yes" (Run Out Groove Vinyl Reissue)
In recent years, Run Out Groove has garnered a stellar reputation for its vinyl reissues of rarities from the Warner Music Archive. The label has pressed up everything from lost soul music and jazz, to experimental rock, pop, and folk. Most of their reissues boast previously unreleased rarities or hard-to-find tracks. In the last few months, the label has delivered expanded versions of more recent albums that have long been out of print on vinyl. Morphine's Yes is one of those lost vinyl titles
It's Life's Illusions I Recall: Edsel Collects Judy Collins' 1960s Albums on New Box Set
With a crystalline voice and a songbook encompassing the best of folk, pop, Broadway, and beyond, Judy Collins remains an American treasure. The Seattle native first made a splash on the Colorado folk scene; soon, she was gaining notoriety in Connecticut and then in the fertile Greenwich Village stomping grounds of New York City. It was in New York that the luminous Collins - a classical piano prodigy, talented guitarist, gifted adapter and later, songwriter, and a singer with a three-octave
Review: "Getz at the Gate: The Stan Getz Quartet Live at The Village Gate - Nov. 26, 1961"
1962 is rightfully viewed as a breakthrough year for tenor saxophonist Stan Getz, the year in which he successfully brought the Brazilian bossa nova sound to the mainstream with guitarist Charlie Byrd on Jazz Samba. 1961, on the other hand, has receded as a kind of footnote in his musical history despite two strong albums: the orchestral jazz fusion Focus, with arranger Eddie Sauter (late of The Sauter-Finnegan Orchestra and later an in-demand orchestrator of such Broadway musicals as 1776),
Trying To Make A Living: Classics From Chicago's Independent Blues Scene Collected on "Cadillac Baby's Bea and Baby Records"

Make Your Own Sweet Sunshine: Davy Jones' "Live in Japan" Arrives on CD/DVD and LP from 7a Records
7a Records is heading to Davy Jones' locker...or more accurately, his vault, as the label has announced its most extensive project yet. The late Monkee's Live in Japan is a remarkable and comprehensive collection of both of Jones' officially released (and long-unavailable) Japanese concert albums in their best sound yet, plus numerous singles and rarities from the early 1980s. The set, due on August 2 in two formats, paints a vivid portrait of Jones' solo work during the period prior to The
The Circle is Unbroken: Legacy To Release The Soundtrack to Ken Burns' "Country Music" in Box Set, Other Editions
Filmmaker Ken Burns has tackled many subjects over the years, from the Civil War to baseball. His documentaries have garnered numerous awards over the years.

And as with Jazz, there will be an accompanying soundtrack. The most expansive of these is a 5-disc box set debuting on August 30 from Legacy
Love What We Make Together: Miles Davis' Lost "Rubberband" Gets September Release
A new chapter is about to be written for Miles Davis' Warner Bros. years. On September 6, Rhino will unveil Rubberband, the lost album recorded by the late trumpeter in 1985-1986, on CD, 2-LP vinyl, and digital formats. Davis began recording Rubberband shortly after joining Warner Bros. in 1985. In October, he entered Los Angeles' Ameraycan Studios with producers Randy Hall and Zane Giles. Davis - playing both trumpet and keyboards - was joined at Ameraycan by keyboardists Adam Holzman,
Amazing Journey: Roger Daltrey Releases "The Who's Tommy Orchestral" Live Album
Fifty years ago, The Who debuted Tommy at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London. The ambitious rock opera about a deaf, dumb, and blind pinball wizard turned messiah catapulted The Who into the upper echelons of arena rock and marked a new transition in their storied career. Last year, Who frontman Roger Daltrey embarked on a world tour performing The Who's Tommy with an orchestra. With David Campbell providing the arrangements and Keith Levenson conducting, the piece took on a new life in a new

Rave On: Cherry Red Collects Steeleye Span's Early Years on "All Things Are Quite Silent"
The British folk revival of the mid- to late-1960s yielded many memorable artists, but few as enduring as Steeleye Span. The group, still going strong today, notched a quartet of top 40 albums and a couple of bona fide hit singles while remaining true to their traditional roots. Cherry Red's Cherry Tree imprint has recently revisited the band with a 3-CD set containing all three of their albums with founding member Ashley Hutchings plus a small clutch of bonus tracks. All Things Are Quite
Review: James Taylor, "One Man Band"
The One Man Band tour took James Taylor on the road for three years of unusually intimate performances, even by the standards of the guitar-wielding troubadour. In 2007, the tour culminated in a series of shows at Pittsfield, Massachusetts' small, 775-seat Colonial Theatre, a true homecoming for the famous Massachusetts native. Joined only by keyboardist Larry Goldings, Taylor treated audiences to a tour through his songbook that amounted to a master class in musical storytelling. The live

Arrest This Man: Following Leak, Radiohead Make 'OK Computer' Sessions Available For Charity
This is what you get when you mess with them: Radiohead are making a trove of recently leaked session audio officially available. Last week, 18 hours of takes and tracks from the sessions to the band's 1997 landmark OK Computer (expanded and reissued with bonus material in 2017) leaked. Among the contents were alternate takes, mixes and live material, including versions of beloved tracks "Karma Police," "No Surprises," "Airbag" and "Exit Music (For a Film)" as well as lesser-known fan

Rhino has announced plans for a new, 25th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition of Stone Temple Pilots' multi-platinum album Purple. The album was the group's second long-player, the follow-up to their Grammy-winning Core.

Scott Weiland, Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz recorded the majority of Purple in Atlanta with Brendan O'Brien handling production duties.

Jingle Jangle Jungle: Demon Collects Bobby Darin's "The Direction Albums" in July
The opening song of Bobby Darin's 1967 album Sings Doctor Dolittle was entitled "At the Crossroads." The Leslie Bricusse song, introduced by Samantha Eggar (dubbed by Diana Lee) in the big-screen musical, expressed the viewpoint of a young woman constrained by the time in which she lived, wanting more. The tune was quickly adopted and refashioned by singers from Petula Clark in a slow-burning, stoic and determined version, to Sammy Davis, Jr. in exuberantly hyper-charged "Yes I Can!" mode.
