Finn

Two of the best-loved songwriters of the Antipodes are celebrating their brotherly partnership in a new deluxe vinyl package. Finn, the first album credited to the Finn Brothers, will debut on vinyl this summer as part of a double LP that also includes Neil and Tim Finn's extraordinary demos from 1989 - which birthed another classic album from the duo. At the time Finn was released in 1995, Tim was enjoying some of the biggest success of his solo career with 1993's Before & After and the

Neil Young Toast

For more than 20 years, Neil Young's Toast has sat on the shelf.  Now, Toast is being served.  On July 8, the "lost" album recorded by the singer-songwriter and his longtime compatriots in Crazy Horse will be released on CD, double vinyl, and digital formats. Young and Crazy Horse recorded the album "around the turn of the millennium" at San Francisco's Toast Studios but the prolific and notoriously mercurial artist soon thought better of releasing it.  "Quit" and "Goin' Home" appeared on

Wait a Minute: Cherry Red, Esoteric Expand Blossom Toes' "If Only for a Moment" with Guest Spots from Frank Zappa, Brian Auger

May 23, 2022 By Joe Marchese Leave a Comment

Blossom Toes If Only for a Moment

Though Blossom Toes only recorded two albums, the band is still remembered today as a leading exponent of psychedelic pop-rock in the late 1960s.  Guitarist Jim Cregan went on to play with Cockney Rebel and become one of Rod Stewart's major collaborators while Brian Godding, also on guitar, forged a path in jazz and progressive rock.  Earlier this year, Cherry Red's Esoteric Recordings reissued Blossom Toes' 1967 debut We Are Ever So Clean as a 3CD deluxe edition comprising the original album, a

I Remember the Feeling: 7a Records Reissues Studio and Live Albums from Dolenz, Jones, Boyce and Hart

Dolenz Jones Boyce and Hart

The names of Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart have long been inextricably linked with that of The Monkees.  The duo penned many of the band's most familiar songs including "(Theme From) 'The Monkees,'" "I Wanna Be Free," "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone," "Valleri," and the chart-topping "Last Train to Clarksville."  So when promoters were seeking a Monkees reunion in the mid-1970s, and with Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork unavailable, it's unsurprising that Davy Jones and Micky Dolenz turned to Boyce

The world's best-selling album spun off seven of its nine songs as Top 10 singles in America and helped win the King of Pop a record-setting eight Grammy Awards in one night.

Rolling Stones 7 Inch Singles 1963 1966

On July 12, 1962, The Rollin' Stones - a.k.a. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Ian Stewart, and Dick Taylor - took the stage at London's Marquee Club.  Shortly after that initial gig, a "g" was added to the band's name.  By February 1963, the classic line-up was in place of Jagger, Richards, Jones, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts.  Sixty years later, The Rolling Stones have earned their unofficial moniker of The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band.  ABKCO is marking that anniversary with
