The State You're In: Expanded Album from Feelies Bassist Coming in April
As the bassist for The Feelies from 1983 to 1991 - and again for their ongoing 21st century reunions - Brenda Sauter had a front row seat to some of the best underground sounds of the New York metropolitan area during a crucial time for indie rock. This month, one of her most significant solo projects will get its due thanks to a special Record Store Day reissue and a rarities-packed digital expanded edition. Wild Carnation, the outfit Sauter fronted (alongside guitarist/organist Richard
Wait: Paul Simon Announces New Folk Project for Release in May
Last year, rumors began abounding that Paul Simon was back in the studio recording a new album which would be his first since 2018's In the Blue Light and first of original material since 2016's Stranger to Stranger. 2018 was also the year when Simon said goodbye to the road with his Homeward Bound tour. That farewell tour culminated on September 22 in an unforgettable hometown show at Queens' Flushing Meadows Corona Park, but Simon has revealed that he's far from done with music. Those
Mighty Real: Second Disc Records, Real Gone Music Celebrate Sylvester on "Disco Heat: The Fantasy Years"
When the self-described "disco queen" known as Sylvester stepped on a New York stage opening for Chaka Khan, the local press was entranced. One newspaper approvingly noted that he made "David Bowie look like Lawrence Welk." Nothing was too outrageous for Sylvester. But at his core, he was serious about music and about breaking down the walls of identity. In appearance and demeanor, the unapologetically gay San Francisco star challenged the gender binary long before such discussions were in
You Made Me Love You: Judy Garland's Nightclub Debut Restored for Premiere Release
Judy Garland wasn't even 35 years of age when she quipped on the stage of Las Vegas' New Frontier Hotel, "That's the noisiest, loudest opening number...I'm getting a little old for it! Without taking a step, I get tired!" If the superstar was, in fact, tired, she hardly showed it. Thanks to the High Definition Tape Transfers label, the opening night of Garland's first Las Vegas engagement is now available in sparkling sound for all to enjoy. The Lost Vegas Show premieres the ebullient

Ring Them Bells: Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" Returns in Various Formats
Mike Oldfield was just 19 years old when he recorded Tubular Bells, the 1973 album consisting of just two long, primarily instrumental tracks for which he played almost all of the instruments himself. The debut album on Richard Branson's fledgling Virgin Records label, Tubular found its audience gradually. When its opening theme was used in director William Friedkin's horror film The Exorcist, sales skyrocketed. Beginning in March 1974, the LP remained in the top ten of the U.K. Albums Chart

Do You Feel Like We Do: "Frampton@50" Celebration Coming from Intervention Records with Vinyl and Hybrid SACD Releases
Peter Frampton made his solo debut with 1972's Wind of Change, following successful stints with The Herd and Humble Pie. The album put his acoustic guitar up front, while he also demonstrated his virtuosity on the organ, keyboards, drums, percussion, dulcimer, harmonium, and, of course, the lead vocals. Now, more than half a century later, Frampton has teamed with Intervention Records for a limited edition vinyl box set and a series of hybrid SACD reissues celebrating his early solo years.
Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane [Original Jazz Classics]
1961's Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane was recorded in 1957 but not issued until Trane (already a veteran of Davis' and Dizzy Gillespie's bands) had become a jazz superstar in his own right. The album was recorded not long after pianist Monk, already a titan of the jazz genre, and Coltrane began a summer residency at New York's Five Spot Café. Now, it returns as one of the first titles in the relaunched Original Jazz Classics series. The album has been pressed on 180-gram vinyl, cut from
Call the Fire Brigade: Iconoclassic Premieres Rick Springfield's Lost 1974 Album "Springfield" in Expanded Edition
Rick Springfield was the real deal, and the record business knew it. Already a veteran of multiple bands including Zoot, the Australian singer-songwriter had good looks and good songs - not to mention a great voice and strong chops. Yet international superstardom didn't come easily for the future General Hospital star and chart-topping "Jessie's Girl" artist. He paid his dues, including a short-lived, uneasy tenure at Columbia Records. Rick had scored a top 20 Pop and AC success of 1972's

Saw Your Name in the Paper: Morello Reissues Loudon Wainwright III's Atlantic Albums
Upon the release of his 1970 self-titled debut for Atlantic Records, Loudon Wainwright III was hailed as a "new Dylan." The comparison wasn't completely off-the-mark, given the artist's incisive, alternately wrenching and wry songwriting; and pinched, somewhat nasal voice as he accompanied himself on acoustic guitar. But the lyrical content of Wainwright's songs was far-removed from The Bard of Hibbing's. Having been born to an affluent family (his father wrote the column "The View from Here"

Review: Elvis Presley, "Elvis on Tour"
When Elvis on Tour hit the big screen in 1972, Elvis Presley was no longer the frequent cinema fixture of the 1960s, when he would crank out two or even three motion pictures a year. His last movie appearance was the 1970 documentary Elvis: That's the Way It Is, chronicling the Elvis Summer Festival of 1970 at Las Vegas' International Hotel. Elvis on Tour painted with an even larger canvas. Though it had originally been mooted as a new showcase of Presley's Vegas performances, the concept
