Cherry Red, RPM Get "Right Back Where We Started From" With New '70s Female Pop Collection
Cherry Red's long-running RPM imprint announced earlier this year that 2020 would be its final year of operations - but that hasn't kept RPM from going out with a bang. One of the final titles to arrive from the imprint, Right Back Where We Started From, is a joyous 3-CD celebration of Female Pop and Soul in Seventies Britain. The title is drawn from Maxine Nightingale's irresistibly bouncy 1975 single, a top ten entry in the United Kingdom and a top five in the States. Not every track on
Going, Going, Gone: Kritzerland Premieres John Barry and Alan Jay Lerner's "Lolita, My Love" on CD, Reissues Ben Bagley's "Irving Berlin Revisited"
Kritzerland has just announced two new titles today! A musical version of Vladimir Nabokov's 1955 novel Lolita hardly seemed like typical fare for the Broadway stage. Yet Alan Jay Lerner - lyricist-librettist of My Fair Lady, Camelot, and Paint Your Wagon - envisioned just that. Lolita had already been adapted by Nabokov himself for director Stanley Kubrick's 1962 film starring Sue Lyon, James Mason, Shelley Winters, and a scene-stealing Peter Sellers, but the author gave his blessing to
How Far They've Come: Matchbox Twenty Celebrate Two Decades with Vinyl Box

Whatcha Gonna Do for Me: Average White Band Releases "On the Strip: The Sunset Sessions," Reissues "Cupid's in Fashion"
The opening track of Average White Band's new/old release On the Strip: The Sunset Sessions couldn't have a more apropos title: "Let's Go Round Again." Following a successful run of albums with producer-arranger Arif Mardin, the funky big band outfit was re-establishing itself. 1979's Feel No Fret was a self-produced affair on which the band was joined by co-producer Gene Paul; it yielded hit singles in "Atlantic Avenue" and a revival of Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "Walk on By." For a
Kool and the Gang
Kool and the Gang's 1970 self-titled debut arrives on cream-colored vinyl from Real Gone Music. It would be a few years before the band would grace the heights of the Billboard charts with their disco smashes, but with an infectious blend of R&B and funk with plenty of horns and irresistible beats, this sampler's favorite sees Kool and the Gang beginning their ascent as a leading dance music band. Kool and The Gang will be pressed up in a limited edition of 1,250 copies, so be sure to grab
Sweetheart of the Sun
Real Gone will reissue Sweetheart of the Sun, the final album to date by The Bangles, on vinyl. The 2011 album saw Susanna Hoffs and Debbie & Vicki Peterson team up with Matthew Sweet, who produced the effort. (Sweet and Hoffs had previously teamed as Sid & Susie for the Under the Covers series of albums.) Together, they take a look back at the sound of the Laurel Canyon scene of the '60s and '70s, with the same inspired harmonies and perky arrangements that became The Bangles'
The Chinese Album
Fresh off the reissue of Spacehog's debut Resident Alien for Record Store Day, Real Gone turns to the follow-up, which sees the band pulling from power-pop and glam influences and features an appearance by Michael Stipe from R.E.M. too. Though the album may not have been met with the same sales as their first effort, The Chinese Album remains a cult favorite among '90s rock enthusiasts. For its vinyl debut, the album will be pressed on maroon-hued vinyl, complete with a four-page insert

Pylon Box
When Rolling Stone named Athens, Georgia's R.E.M. as America's best band in 1987 - the same year they scored their first Top 10 hit and appeared in a documentary about the music of the city they formed in, they were quick to correct that record, giving the honor to Pylon, an alt-rock quartet that had been broken up for four years at that point. New West Records is now honoring the Pylon legacy with Pylon Box, a new 4LP set that collects the group's first two, newly-remastered albums,

Digital Round-Up: Nelly Furtado, OutKast Celebrate 20 Years with Expanded Albums
A pair of popular albums from 2000 are now available as digital-only expanded editions for their 20th anniversaries. Whoa, Nelly! was the debut album from genre-bending singer Nelly Furtado. Born in Canada to Portuguese parents, Furtado's blend of folk and hip-hop stood out amid the era of teen-friendly pop on TRL. Lead single "I'm Like a Bird" topped the charts in her native country and reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100; follow-up "Turn Off the Light" hit the Top 10 in both countries as
