Always Returning: Brian Eno Collaboration "Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks" To Be Expanded on LP, CD, and Deluxe Book Set
Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks is one of the most recognizable ambient pieces of Brian Eno's career. The album was a collaboration with Daniel Lanois and Roger Eno that provided the soundtrack to Al Reinert's feature-length Apollo 11 documentary, For All Mankind. Since then, the tracks have appeared in numerous other films, along with television programs, commercials, and even the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics. Now, an extended edition of Apollo: Atmospheres &
Inherit the Earth: The Replacements' New Box Set Premieres Unreleased Tracks, Including Tom Waits Session, Live Concert, and More
Don't tell a soul? The Replacements are releasing their first-ever box set. The hell-raising Minneapolis rockers have proudly told the story of stealing a clutch of tapes from their onetime home of Twin/Tone Records and chucking them into the Mississippi River back in 1987. But happily, the band was more careful about subsequent masters, and the year later, held onto a stash of tapes that now will provide the basis of Dead Man's Pop, a 4-CD/1-LP set reimagining their sixth album and third for

Orchestral Favorites: 40th Anniversary
3-CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada LP: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada Music/merch bundles: Zappa Store Orchestral Favorites is an odd release in the Zappa catalogue - one that started its life in a very different configuration.

But after a series of lawsuits surrounding

Blinded by the Light: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada / Barnes and Noble Exclusive Orange Vinyl August 14 sees the theatrical release of Blinded by the Light, a new coming-of-age film inspired by Sarfraz Manzoor's Greetings from Bury Park: Race, Religion and Rock N' Roll. Both book and movie chronicle the story of a young man's life-changing experiences with the music of Bruce Springsteen, so it's only appropriate that a soundtrack filled with Boss tunes would be on the way. Blinded by the Light:
400 Miles from L.A.
Light in the Attic premieres a treasure trove of demos from maverick singer-songwriter-producer Lee Hazlewood's early days. Lost for over 60 years, the 24 recordings on 400 Miles from L.A. date from the period in which Hazlewood shuttled back and forth from Phoenix (where he worked as a disk jockey) to Los Angeles in the hopes of selling a hit record. Among the demos heard here are a clutch of songs that constitute an early draft of Hazlewood's 1963 conceptual masterwork Trouble Is a Lonesome
It Ain't Easy: The Complete Hits

If You Like Piña Coladas: "NOW" Series Celebrates Yacht Rock on New Volume
Shimmering guitars, breezy horns, smooth keyboards, and crisp vocals on well-crafted songs with catchy choruses: all of those qualities might have once described "soft rock" or "adult-oriented rock," but more recently the genre has experienced a resurgence as "yacht rock." Though the term was originally intended in a pejorative way, it's come to be accepted by many of the progenitors of the genre including Michael McDonald and John Oates. There's an entire book on the yacht rock phenomenon, a
Seeds and Stems: Cherry Red Collects Rarities from Iain Matthews on "Orphans and Outcasts"
Few artists of the rock generation can boast as diverse a C.V. as Iain (sometimes Ian) Matthews. The Fairport Convention founder went on to front Matthews' Southern Comfort and Plainsong as well as record under his own name in the pop, folk, country, and rock idioms, often blending those styles together. In his first decade alone, Matthews recorded for the Deram, Polydor, Island, Uni, Vertigo, Elektra, and CBS/Columbia labels - and at virtually every label, material was left behind. Between
Bundle Up and Go: Craft Recordings Presents Deluxe Vinyl Reissue of "The Country Blues of John Lee Hooker"

Now, The Country Blues of John Lee Hooker, his acoustic Riverside Records debut that helped put him on the map, is being revisited to the tune of a deluxe vinyl reissue this summer. With its
