While The Second Disc prides itself on connecting people to reissues and box sets they can keep on their shelves, it's no secret that listening audiences are also digital - catalogue music lovers, too - and our passion is connecting people to music from the past that they might adore. So we've introduced a new feature: The Weekend Stream, which focuses on hidden gems that recently made it to digital channels that might make your playlists a little brighter!

Meanwhile Back at the Ranch: Omnivore Reissues Three from Buck Owens Including "(It's A) Monster's Holiday"
Tomorrow, October 29, Omnivore Recordings will release the final three titles in its current Buck Owens reissue campaign in which nine long out-of-print Capitol albums from the late Bakersfield troubadour are making their debut on standalone CD. 1973's In the Palm of Your Hand was a comeback of sorts for Owens. While his profile was arguably higher than ever thanks to television's Hee Haw, he had failed to make the top of the Billboard Country Singles Chart since late 1969 - this, after
The Beatles "Get Back" In New Hardcover Book Chronicling the "Let It Be" Sessions
A book about a film about an album? The new coffee table book from Callaway Arts and Entertainment and Apple Corps, The Beatles: Get Back, is essentially that: a hardcover, 240-page tome based on the film footage shot in the buildup to The Beatles' final album, 1970's Let It Be. Get Back was, of course, the name of the first version of Let It Be. It's also the name of director Peter Jackson's upcoming three-part, six-hour documentary (the first part of which premieres November 25 on the

The World Gets Better with Love: Cherry Red, 7Ts Collect White Plains' Discography
There have long been many misconceptions about White Plains, the British harmony-pop group most famous for "My Baby Loves Lovin'." Foremost among those misconceptions: White Plains wasn't a real band. (Truth: It was, despite its unorthodox origins, and had four consistent members between 1970 and 1974.) Another one: White Plains was a one-hit wonder. (Truth: the group scored five U.K. hits and a pair in the U.S., too.) White Plains was a vehicle for the ubiquitous voice of session singer Tony
Review: Bob Dylan, "Springtime in New York: The Bootleg Series Vol. 16 (1980-1985)"
Señor, señor/Can you tell me where we're headin'? Only Bob Dylan knew where he was headin'. In the fall of 1980, when Springtime in New York: The Bootleg Series Vol. 16 (1980-1985) opens, Dylan was two-thirds into his so-called "Christian trilogy" comprising Slow Train Coming (1979), Saved (1980), and Shot of Love (1981). He had wrapped up a fiery tour on May 21, 1980 in which he only performed his gospel material. Audiences and critics alike were divided on Dylan's immersion into

Dramatic Horror: Real Gone Brings Two Cult Classic Film Scores To Vinyl For Halloween
Halloween is just a little over two weeks away and Real Gone is getting into the spirit with a pair of releases out now directly from the label and next Friday, October 22, from Amazon: first-time vinyl reissues of the soundtracks to 1969's Mad Doctor of Blood Island and 1971's Dracula vs. Frankenstein.

The World is (Still) a Ghetto: War Preps 'Greatest Hits 2.0'
Late last year, Warner Music Group's Rhino label confirmed that, after a ten-year break, it would once again be home to the Avenue Records catalogue. The first release under the new deal celebrated the career of Avenue's marquee band, WAR. That limited edition Record Store Day Black Friday reissue of the band's 1976 Greatest Hits was followed this year by another Record Store Day release, WAR: The Vinyl 1971-1975. That box collected WAR (1971); All Day Music (1971); The World Is a Ghetto

On November 15, Phil Collins, Tony Banks, and Mike Rutherford are planning to take the stage at Chicago's United Center as Genesis to launch the band's first North American tour since 2007.

The Weekend Stream: October 2, 2021
While The Second Disc prides itself on connecting people to reissues and box sets they can keep on their shelves, it's no secret that listening audiences are also digital - catalogue music lovers, too - and our passion is connecting people to music from the past that they might adore.

Shout It Out Loud: KISS 'Destroyer' Goes Super Deluxe
Get up! Everybody gonna move their feet and leave their seat for a new deluxe edition of KISS' signature studio album Destroyer, available November 19. Following the success of the double concert album Alive! in 1975, which introduced the world at large to the hard-rockin' quartet in black and white facepaint and out-there stage costumes, Destroyer was polished to perfection by producer Bob Ezrin. The group added layers of unique craft to these songs, from string sections to sound effects -
A Million Stars: Vinyl Me, Please Teams with Aloha Got Soul for Hawaiian Classics from Mackey Feary Band, Eddie Suzuki and New Hawaii
"Grin, even when you're at your lowest, grin," implores Mackey Feary on the opening track of his 1978 solo album Mackey Feary Band. "You're Young" is all sun and breeze, making it near-impossible to suppress the requested grin. It's languid yet funky, with shimmering guitars, wending saxophone, and sweet female background voices adding to the luster. As a founding member of Kalapana, Feary had been at the vanguard of Hawaiian pop in the 1970s; alongside such artists as Cecilio and Kapono and
Sweet Dream: Jethro Tull's 'Benefit' Gets 50th Anniversary Remix, Expansion
With 1970's Benefit, Jethro Tull continued to refine their sound. The blues/jazz fusion of the band's debut This Was had already ceded to a more eclectic style on Stand Up; Benefit would edge Tull towards riff-rock while still maintaining the folk and jazz touchstones that set the band apart. Benefit ultimately became a best-seller, setting the stage for 1971's Aqualung and the even greater international successes that followed. In 2013, Benefit was expanded as a 2CD/DVD set featuring new

Waiting for the Man: Soundtrack for Todd Haynes' Velvet Underground Film Due in October
Director Todd Haynes has long emphasized music in his filmography. One of his first works to garner significant attention was 1987's controversial and unauthorized Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story; four years later, his evocation of the glam rock era in Velvet Goldmine made more commercial waves. More recently, he's been attached to direct Michelle Williams in the forthcoming Peggy Lee biopic Fever. But before Haynes tackles Peggy, he's returning to a different Velvet: The Velvet
Endless, Nameless: Nirvana's 'Nevermind' Goes Deluxe (Again) with Bonus Live Concerts
Exactly thirty years ago tomorrow, September 24, 1991, Nirvana's Nevermind hit store shelves. To celebrate this new anniversary, Geffen/UMe has announced new reissues of the album in a variety of formats including two editions of a super deluxe box set: an 8-LP version with a bonus 7-inch single, and a 5-CD version with a Blu-ray.

Grapefruit Records Spotlight: Complete Collections Arrive from The Sorrows, Fire, and Tintern Abbey
Today, we're spotlighting three recent "Complete" collections from Cherry Red's Grapefruit imprint. "We played punk before punk was invented!" That quote by vocalist Don Fardon of The Sorrows opens up Grapefruit's new 4-CD set Pink Purple Yellow and Red: The Complete Sorrows. The R&B band formed in Coventry in 1963 and became a fixture on the mod scene; later, they were retroactively branded "freakbeat" for their aggressive and edgy style of R&B and rock and roll. Fardon, lead
In His Room: Brian Wilson's "At My Piano" Offers Solo Piano Renditions of Beach Boys Favorites
Those lucky enough to have seen Brian Wilson in one of his solo concerts knows that it's always a special moment when the Beach Boys' leader plays the piano. While he's always seated in front of a keyboard, he leaves the heavy lifting to such long-serving bandmates as Darian Sahanaja, Gary Griffin, or Billy Hinsche. Yet his mastery of the instrument has never been in doubt; in one moving moment of the recent documentary Long Promised Road, he's seen in the studio showing exactly how a tune

Are You Ready for the Sex Girls? Omnivore Reissues Gleaming Spires Discography
"Of the hundreds of new records unleashed on the public each year, few stand out as truly inspired, literate works of art," began Sparks' Russell Mael in his liner notes to Gleaming Spires' 1981 debut Song of the Spires. "Fewer still go beyond that. Though I have not personally had the time to listen to this, the Gleaming Spires' first recorded effort, two of my bridge partners tell me that this record goes way, way beyond." Sparks' tongue-in-cheek endorsement (to which Russell's brother Ron
