Final Light: Cherry Red Collects Last Three Volumes of Anthony Phillips' "Private Parts and Pieces"
Between 1978 and 2012, founding Genesis guitarist Anthony Phillips released eleven volumes of Private Parts & Pieces. Each volume has collected various odds and ends from the composer/multi-instrumentalist which, for one reason or another, wouldn't have fit comfortably on any of his proper solo albums. Since 2015, Cherry Red Group's Esoteric Recordings imprint has been reissuing and expanding these fascinating releases in box set form. The third and final box (to date), Private Parts

I've Waited Hours For This: The Cure Expand 'Mixed Up' With New and Vintage Remixes
The Cure kicked off the 1990s with the release of Mixed Up, an album collecting the band's rarer 12-inch mixes. It wasn't just a straightforward anthology, however, as two songs ("A Forest" and "The Walk") weren't just remixed, but re-recorded, and a wholly new track ("Never Enough") was also recorded. As Robert Smith comments, Brian "Chuck" New's dub style remix of "Pictures Of You" inspired him: "That mix turned the music on its head, but at the same time left the essential heart of the song
Short Takes: Reissues Due from Janis Ian, CCR's Tom Fogerty and Doug Clifford, Social Distortion
Five classic albums from singer-songwriter Janis Ian have just been reissued on CD and vinyl from Sony Legacy's U.K. arm. Stars (1974), Between the Lines (1975), Aftertones (1976), Miracle Row (1977), and Night Rains (1979), all originally released on Columbia Records, represent the peak of Ian's commercial success. Between the Lines yielded Ian's most successful single, the touching "At Seventeen," a No. 3 Pop/No. 1 AC hit. The song netted the artist a Grammy Award and was performed by her

Back In Love Again: Robinsongs Collects Four Albums From Soul-Funk-Disco Band L.T.D.
L.T.D., or Love, Togetherness and Devotion, had carved out a niche in the crowded landscape of seventies funk and soul bands - in large part due to the soaring voice of its lead singer and drummer, Jeffrey Osborne. Four of the group's albums blending funk, disco, and silky balladry, have just been collected on a new 2-CD set from Cherry Red's Robinsongs imprint. The ten-piece band from Greensboro, North Carolina had released two moderately successful albums on Los Angeles-based A&M

Magic Voodoo Moon: Numero Group Collects Ultra-Rare Exotica On New Box Set
Tomorrow, May 25, Numero Group is conjuring up a world of tikis, palm trees, and colorful drinks - in other words, a Technicolor Paradise. After years of successfully excavating the rarest soul, jazz, R&B, New Age, and more, the label has turned its attention to the realm of exotica. The genre's blend of lounge, jazz, pop and all sounds beyond inspired a number of artists who didn't receive the same attention as, say, Martin Denny, Yma Sumac, Arthur Lyman, and Esquivel. An alternate

BREAKING! Second Disc Records, Real Gone Music Unearth Never-Before-Heard Bobby Darin on "Go Ahead and Back Up: The Lost Motown Masters"
Bobby Darin joined Motown Records in 1970, inaugurating the final phase in a remarkable career that saw him transform from a rock-and-roll teen idol to a sophisticated swinger to a socially conscious folkie. Yet before his tragic death at the age of 37 in 1973, Darin only released one album and a handful of singles for Berry Gordy's legendary label. A few posthumous recordings followed in 1974 and a live album in 1987, but the story stayed the same: that despite the best efforts of all,

Review: Love, "Forever Changes: 50th Anniversary Edition"

Psychedelia was in the air, not to mention creativity and experimentation in music at an all-time high that is still largely unrivaled.

Bewitching: Cherry Red Premieres 1968 Jazz-Soul Sessions from Joy Marshall and Gordon Beck Quartet
When New York-born, London-settled vocalist Joy Marshall died in November 1968, her obituaries unsurprisingly concentrated on the salacious aspects of her death, which in retrospect, seemed all but inevitable considering the fast lane in which she lived her life. But today, with decades having passed, one can more fairly evaluate Marshall's career solely on her art. Based on the upcoming release due May 18 from Cherry Red's Turtle imprint of When Sunny Gets Blue: Spring '68 Sessions from The
