Late last year, Reba McEntire celebrated 25 years of her Read My Mind album with an anniversary expanded edition. Now, she's following that up by revisiting her 3x platinum 1990 smash Rumor Has It in similar fashion. On September 11, Rumor Has It will return from MCA Nashville in a new edition with two bonus versions of its top ten hit "Fancy": a live acoustic take recorded at Music City's famed Ryman Auditorium and a dance remix by Dave Audé (who recently remixed Barbara Mandrell's "Sleeping
What Was It You Wanted? MoFi Announces Deluxe Vinyl Reissues of Bob Dylan's "Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid," "Oh Mercy," "'Love and Theft'"
The long-awaited next volumes in Mobile Fidelity's successful series of Bob Dylan albums have been announced: a 2-LP 45rpm edition of Oh Mercy is available now, and a further 2-LP 45rpm configuration of Love and Theft is due later this month. This follows a 33rpm remaster of Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid, already available. (All three titles are also available on hybrid stereo SACDs from MoFi.) 1989's Oh Mercy represented something of a return-to-form for Bob Dylan, who, after a few
Review: Paul McCartney, "Archive Collection: Flaming Pie" 2-CD and 5-CD/2-DVD Box Set Editions
Today sees the release of the latest in Paul McCartney's acclaimed Archive Collection series, Flaming Pie. Originally released in 1997, the album marked something of a comeback for McCartney, who was inspired by the spontaneous, more immediate recording techniques of The Beatles. Many heralded it as a sort of return to form upon its release, and now fans can judge for themselves with this illuminating deep dive into the Macca vaults. Like previous Archive Collection entries, Flaming Pie is

The campaign promises weekly "digital EPs, remixes, bonus cuts, rare tracks, acapella moments and mind-blowing live performances" - and five releases have occurred so far. The first,

We're Not In Kansas: Big Country's Early '90s Anthologized In New Cherry Red Box

Back to Dirty Blvd.: Lou Reed's "New York" Gets Deluxe Box Set Treatment in September
Lou Reed went back to basics for his fifteenth solo studio album and Sire Records debut, 1989's New York. In contrast to the prevailing high-gloss, sleek, and electronic sound of the day, Reed opted for a primal sound with two guitars, bass, and drums that recalled his groundbreaking work two decades earlier with The Velvet Underground. (In fact, the VU's Moe Tucker even played percussion on a couple of tracks.) On September 25, Rhino will revisit the dark, visceral LP in a sprawling

In Memoriam: Peter Green (1946-2020)
Earlier today, it was confirmed that Peter Green - the wunderkind guitarist who played with john Mayall's Bluesbreakers and co-founded Fleetwood Mac as well as his own Splinter Group - died at the age of 73. As a singer, songwriter, and electrifying guitar-slinger, Green pushed the boundaries of blues-rock and forged a thrilling, all-encompassing new sound reflected on such classic songs as "Black Magic Woman," "Albatross," "Oh Well," and "Man of the World." Artists the caliber of B.B. King

Darling Ooh!
Errol Dunkley was already a reggae star by the time this debut album was released in 1972. With producer Sylvia Pottenger at the helm, Dunkley served up 12 cuts that are pure roots reggae. Originally released as Presenting Errol Dunkley on the Gay Feet label, the album was repressed later on Trojan's Attack imprint as Darling Ooh! with an expanded track list and distinctive artwork. To make things more confusing for collectors, the album was also reissued by Trojan in 1979 with the shorter
Seeds on the Ground
Seeds on the Ground was percussion master Airto's second album and his final release on the Buddah label.
