Intervention Records launched in 2015 with a simple mission statement: "To provide archive-quality LPs of music we love," with the goal that "each record we do must be the single definitive, final version of that album, the one real music lovers will seek out." Happily, the label's early releases have all more than lived up to those lofty goals! The first two albums from Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan's Stealers Wheel might not have been the most expected titles for vinyl reissue in 2016, but
RPM Is "Looking Stateside" with Sons of Champlin, Knickerbockers, Joe Tex, Chuck Jackson, More
Cherry Red's RPM Records label has been doing a lot of Looking with its series of themed mini-box sets dedicated to such pop subgenres as freakbeat, mod, and girl group soul.

Time to Get Down: Real Gone Returns The O'Jays' "Back Stabbers" To Vinyl
The O'Jays quietly began their association with Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff on 1970's Neptune album In Philadelphia, announcing the Ohio group's shift to the City of Brotherly Love and its burgeoning soul scene. But there was nothing quiet about the opening track of Back Stabbers, the trio's first album for Gamble and Huff's Philadelphia International Records. "When the World's at Peace," by Gamble, Bunny Sigler and Phil Hurtt, imagined a time "when it's safe to walk the streets/when we learn
Paint It Black: RPM Collects The Tomcats' Raw Sixties Rock On "Running at Shadows"
Collectors of rare psychedelia likely know the band July and its self-titled 1968 album on the Major Minor label featuring "My Clown," "Dandelion Seeds," and "The Way." But few remember that the psych cult heroes of July began their career as members of The Tomcats. Cherry Red's RPM label has recently collected the Ealing band's rare Spanish EPs, plus previously unreleased tracks, on Running at Shadows: The Spanish Recordings 1965-66. Tom Newman (lead vocals), Peter Cook (guitar), Alan
But Never Ever On A Sunday: él Collects Greek Cinema Classics, Early Michel Legrand

Review: Elvis Presley, "The Album Collection"
I. Playing for Keeps "You don't have to face the music...you don't have to face the crowd...Just go back where you came from," sings a world-weary Elvis Presley on "It's Easy for You," the closing track of his 1977 album Moody Blue. "If you ever tire of the good life, call me in a year or two...I've got no choice, I'll forgive you, 'cause it's easy for you." Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's musical recrimination not only dated back to the superstar artist's final studio session - at home

Dan Fogelberg, Johnny Paycheck, Beau Brummels, More Join Bobby Darin On Real Gone's May Slate
Real Gone Music has just announced its May release slate, and with rock, jazz, gospel, country, pop and beyond, it's one of the label's most diverse months yet! Naturally, we're partial to the May 6 release of Bobby Darin's Another Song on My Mind: The Motown Years from Real Gone and our own Second Disc Records (get all of the details right here!), but there's plenty more on offer, too!

Find Out What's Happening: Ace Explores "Where Soul Meets Country" On New Collection

On May 13, Rhino will draw into that vast well of live recordings for a major box set. The 12-CD set July 1978: The Complete Recordings focuses on five previously unreleased concerts from that month, and marks the
Release Your Love: Robinsongs Expands Two Isley Brothers Albums
The Isley Brothers' first studio album, in 1959, made listeners want to Shout! with its soulful blend of doo-wop, R&B, jazz, rock and roll, and gospel. Ronald, O'Kelly and Rudolph Isley followed up that RCA Victor LP with tenures at labels including Wand, United Artists, Atlantic, and most notably, Motown, before setting up shop at their own T-Neck label. The Isleys' line-up would expand and alter over the years, but their marriage of soul, funk and rock would keep them at the forefront of

Review: Raspberries, "Raspberries" Vinyl Edition
When Eric Carmen and Wally Bryson of Cyrus Eyrie teamed up with Jim Bonfanti and Dave Smalley of The Choir, the result was pop bliss. The Raspberries emerged from the ashes from the two bands, and over the course of four albums - three with the original line-up, and one with just Carmen and Bryson remaining - they came to define power pop. Yet today, some might wonder: Why is the Cleveland, Ohio band so fondly remembered despite only placing one Top 5 single in the U.S. and two more Top 20s?
