Just Push Play: Aerosmith Preps Ultimate 'Greatest Hits' for August (UPDATED 6/28)
Ahead of their Peace Out Tour in 2023-2024 - closing a significant chapter in the book of one of the best (or perhaps the most) American rock bands - Aerosmith will issue a brand-new career spanning compilation across multiple formats in August. The simply-titled Greatest Hits shares a name with the group's first compilation, issued back in 1980, but it's being billed as an "ultimate" product, and packaged as an entirely different set. It is, of course, the first compilation issued since the

Rock 'N' Roll Suicide: Bowie's Final Ziggy Gig Gets 50th Anniversary Reissue
Over 50 years after David Bowie bade farewell to one of his most recognizable onstage personas, the show in which he did so will be reissued and restored. Ziggy Stardust: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack will be reissued by Parlophone August 11, just a month after the exact anniversary of that landmark date at Hammersmith Odeon in London.

In Memoriam: Tina Turner (1939-2023)
Today, the name of Tina Turner will be on everyone's lips. The magnetic dynamo with the powerfully raspy voice, instantly identifiable stage moves, and indomitable spirit has died at the age of 83. Yet, like most everything else in her extraordinary life and career, even her name was hard-won. Born Anna Mae Bullock in Brownsville, Tennessee, she began singing with Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm in 1957. The volatile bandleader rechristened her Tina Turner, reportedly choosing the first name

Summer Dreaming: Grapefruit Collects Sunshine Pop Sounds of Tony Rivers and the Castaways, Harmony Grass
Tony Rivers' name occupies a special place in the heart of sunshine pop aficionados. The singer born Douglas Anthony Thompson in Shildon, County Durham, England began his career with The Castaways in a beat mode - even supporting The Beatles on a 1963 Piccadilly gig - before discovering The Beach Boys and taking his already-impressive vocal arrangement skills to the next level. A new 3-CD anthology, Move In a Little Closer: The Complete Recordings 1963-1970 on Cherry Red's Grapefruit imprint,
Sun Will Shine: Grapefruit Collects Italian Prog-Rock Band Circus 2000 on New Anthology
Cherry Red's Grapefruit imprint has invited listeners to join the Circus. The Italian band Circus 2000 is the subject of I Am the Witch: The Anthology, a 2-CD set containing both of the Jefferson Airplane-esque group's albums, originally released in 1970 and 1972, plus singles, alternate mixes, and tracks intended for a never-completed third LP. Circus 2000's charismatic lead singer, Silvana Aliotta, had successfully transitioned from a precocious teenage pop singer to a rock frontwoman as
The Message is Love: Demon Preps Box Set of Arthur Baker Remixes
Demon Music Group scored a real coup in 2021 with the release of Dance Masters: Shep Pettibone (The Classic Master Mixes), a box set devoted to the stellar late '80s and early '90s remixer. The branding on the set indicated that Dance Masters was to be a series, presented by another remixing great: American DJ/producer Arthur Baker. Now, two years later, another Dance Masters set is forthcoming, focused on the work of Baker himself. Dance Masters: Arthur Baker (The Classic Dance Remixes), due
People Need Love: ABBA's "Ring Ring" Celebrates 50 with Singles Box Set, More
When the single "People Need Love" was released in 1972, it was intended as a one-off collaboration between three successful Swedish pop entities: female singers Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad and songwriting/producing duo Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson. The single was credited simply to "Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid," with no intentions of further capitalizing on the partnership. But the success of the song - a Top 20 hit in their native Sweden - led to an album's

Mind Go Wild: Zappa's 1970 "Hot Rats" Sequel "Funky Nothingness" Gets First Release
In the pantheon of jazz-rock, Frank Zappa's 1969 LP Hot Rats is surely near the pinnacle. The primarily instrumental album recorded by Zappa, multi-instrumentalist Ian Underwood, and the top tier of L.A.'s session musicians melded the compositional and improvisational sophistication of jazz with Zappa's gritty, searing, and blues-drenched electric rock style. Recorded to 16 tracks at a time when the technology was still in its infancy, Hot Rats pushed the boundaries of production. Elements of
The Second Disc's Record Store Day 2023 Shopping Guide
Record Store Day! It's that time again where music lovers and vinyl flippers get together at their favorite physical music retailers and wait in line to snag some treasured albums - almost all of which are pressed on vinyl instead of CD (or, you know, sold on secondary marketplaces for above their retail value). It's certainly easy to be cynical about this stuff, but the crux of the idea still lives: find some music that moves you, something from an old favorite you've maybe never heard
Summer Sessions: Rusted Wave and 1984 Publishing Premiere '80s Scores by Alan Silvestri, Danny Elfman
The '80s not only saw tremendous soundtracks from many of the established composers in Hollywood, but a new generation of musicians making a mark on the silver screen, as well. Next month, two of the best film music discoveries of the '80s will be the subject of new reissues from Rusted Wave Records and 1984 Publishing (known for printing photo books about "Weird Al" Yankovic as well as the memoir by the late Marie Fredriksson of Roxette fame). The labels will prep vinyl and CD releases of
Could It Be Magic: Barry Manilow's Debut, in Rare Original Mix, Heads to Vinyl
Barry Manilow will mark the 50th anniversary of his solo career with an exciting vinyl reissue of his debut album - pressed in a way that's not been heard and seen together since it first came out. The beloved singer/songwriter has been on a hot streak lately that most artists his age would sell their souls for. Already a celebrated draw at the Westgate Las Vegas (his 14th year as a concert act in Sin City, and fast closing in on as many performances at the venue as Elvis Presley), Manilow
The Flasher: Original Soundtrack Recording
Second Disc Records and Real Gone Music celebrate 50 years of the best album you've never heard: Pool-Pah's The Flasher. In 1973, the sexual revolution was on, streaking was taking college campuses by storm, and Deep Throat was edging pornography ever closer to the mainstream. Against this backdrop, a talented New York band with the unlikely moniker of Pool-Pah teamed with up-and-coming singer-songwriter, musician, and arranger Rupert Holmes to write and record an unforgettably far-out
Still Beatin': Huey Lewis and The News Get Expanded Japanese Albums, CD/DVD Collection
Have you heard The News? The sweet pop/rock/soul sound of San Francisco's Huey Lewis & The News has sadly gone silent in recent years, thanks to its one-of-a-kind frontman's battle with Ménière's disease, which causes intermittent hearing loss. But a surprise new reissue campaign courtesy of Universal Music Group's Japanese division promises the most comprehensive look at the band's blockbuster catalogue of the '80s and early '90s. UMG will remaster, expand and reissue the six albums the
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
