Make the Moment Count: a-ha Announces Expanded Reissues of "Minor Earth | Major Sky" and "Lifelines" Due in October
a-ha broke onto the scene in the '80s with a run of five successful albums, but went on a seven-year hiatus in 1993 following the release of Memorial Beach.

Still Magic: Mint Audio Collects Peter Skellern's "Complete Decca Recordings" on New 3-CD Set

The singer-songwriter sadly passed away in 2017 at the age of 69, but the U.K.'s Mint Audio label has

Run Back to Mama: Ace's "Horn Rock" Anthology Features Chase, Blood Sweat and Tears, Delaney and Bonnie, More
The new collection on Ace Records' BGP imprint packs a mighty punch. That's because it's dedicated to Horn Rock (with the equally-important subtitle And Funky Guitar Grooves), that boldest and brassiest of rock subgenres. The phrase "horn rock" immediately brings to mind the sound popularized by Chicago and Blood, Sweat & Tears (only one of which is represented here) but the added colors afforded by horns were applied to recordings in the baroque-rock, art-rock, psych-rock, and jazz-rock

Review: Davy Jones, "Live in Japan"
Everyone's familiar with the initial wave of Monkeemania that swept America in the 1960s, not to mention the second wave spurred on by MTV's reruns of The Monkees' classic sitcom in the 1980s. But 7a Records - that tireless label dedicated to all things Monkee - has trained a well-deserved spotlight upon a lesser-known chapter of the Monkees phenomenon. The time was 1981 and the place was Japan. The late Davy Jones seized upon the popularity of a Kodak commercial there featuring "Daydream
