This is My Happy Hour: Perth Punks The Scientists Anthologized in New Numero Box
Punk rock's coming up from down under on the newest box set from The Numero Group, dedicated to Australian punk pioneers The Scientists. Born in Perth in 1978, The Scientists, fronted by teen singer/guitarist Kim Salmon, were Australia's answer to The Stooges or The Velvet Underground, offering snotty rebellion and jagged, melodic riffs in their music. Moving from Oz to England, the group found several of their releases on Au Go Go Records, including the EP This Heart Doesn't Run on Blood,
Fill Your Heart: Now Sounds Collects Tiny Tim's "Complete Singles (1966-1970)"
Now Sounds clearly can't resist another tip-toe thru the tulips. Following the 2013 reissue of Tiny Tim's debut God Bless Tiny Tim (1968) as an expanded mono edition, the Cherry Red imprint has recently returned to the catalogue of the late "Human Canary" for his Complete Singles Collection (1965-1970). Twenty years after Tiny Tim's passing at the age of 64, his music remains equally beguiling and bewildering. These tracks, culled from his recordings at Blue Cat, Reprise and Scepter, find

Feel That You're Feelin': Robinsongs Reissues Two Live Albums From Frankie Beverly's Maze
Cherry Red's Robinsongs imprint is continuing its series dedicated to the quiet-storm sound of Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly with a two-fer containing both 1981's Live in New Orleans and 1986's Live in Los Angeles.

(As Raw Soul, the band's only previous major label releases were on the RCA-affiliated Gregar label
Circus Of Voices: JAY Records Remasters "Charlotte Sweet," Premieres "Tales of Tinseltown"
Charlotte Sweet is one of that increasingly rare breed: an original musical. And this "madcap musical," as it was billed, sure is original. Lyricist/librettist Michael Colby and composer Gerald Jay Markoe delivered the unexpected with their delightfully unusual show which premiered at New York's intimate Westside Arts Theatre on August 12, 1982 and ran for over 100 performances. JAY Records has recently brought the complete Original Cast Recording to 2 CDs for the first time; a previous CD

Night Games: Graham Bonnet's "Line-Up" Is Expanded By Cherry Red's HNE Label

Following his time with Blackmore's band, Bonnet resumed his solo career with 1981's Line-Up. Cherry Red's hard rock-oriented Hear No Evil label has recently reissued Line-Up with four bonus tracks as

George Jones (1931-2013) joined Epic Records in 1972, announcing his artistic rebirth with a self-titled album also sometimes known as We Can Make It after the top 10 hit song.

Raven Records has recently collected five of The Possum's prime Epic endeavors on one 2-CD set as The Tour de Force 1972-1980. This new collection features the following complete albums: A Picture of Me (Without You)

Joe Jackson's "I'm the Man" Returns On Vinyl From Intervention Records
Joe Jackson appears on the cover of his 1979 sophomore album, I'm the Man, as a "spiv": a British term for a peculiar kind of petty criminal "always trying to sell you a watch or something like that, real cheap," in the artist's words. But Jackson didn't have to resort to any cheap come-ons to hawk I'm the Man, a solid follow-up to his impressive debut Look Sharp! which arrived just months after that seminal release. Despite the quick turnaround, I'm the Man hailed from the same inspired
Adam & The Ants' "Kings of the Wild Frontier" to Invade Stores Once More
Unplug the jukebox! Adam & The Ants' classic Kings of the Wild Frontier is coming back as an expansive deluxe edition, to initiate another Ants invasion. Kings of the Wild Frontier remains a pivotal album in post-punk history, as well as a major turning point for Ant himself.

Ant and producer

Happy Birthday, Bobby: Darin's "Another Song on My Mind: The Motown Years" ARRIVES TOMORROW!
Will the real Bobby Darin please stand up? Between his first single in 1956 and his final recordings in 1973, the artist born Walden Robert Cassotto on May 14, 1936 blazed his path through rock-and-roll, big-band swing, jazz, R&B, soul, country, folk, pop, rock, and everything in between. Yet each reinvention was genuine, and each represented the real Bobby Darin. The driven artist brought fervor and passion to every style he tackled throughout his tragically-short life. Tomorrow,
