The Colpix Singles
Nina Simone's 1959-1964 time at the Colpix label is collected on the 2-CD, 27-track The Colpix Singles (also available in a 14-track highlights edition on vinyl).

Mood Indigo: The Complete Bethlehem Singles
Mood Indigo: The Complete Bethlehem Singles collects the earliest recordings of Nina Simone. The 14-track CD version follows the chronology of the original mono singles, while the vinyl LP version has "Porgy (I Loves You Porgy)" and "Love Me or Leave Me," Simone's debut single, on a bonus 7-inch replica 45 rather than on the LP.

Love...Thy Will Be Done: Cherry Pop Expands Martika, Andrew Ridgeley Titles in January
Cherry Pop is returning to the early days of the 1990s with expanded editions from the small discographies of two beloved artists: Andrew Ridgeley of Wham!, and Martika. After breaking up Wham! in 1986, George Michael graduated to bona fide solo superstar, while his musical partner Andrew Ridgeley had largely shunned the spotlight to pursue other interests such as acting and motor racing. By 1990, however, Ridgeley was ready to return to music. The result was Son of Albert, his only solo
Oh, Darling! Cherry Red Reissues Graham Bonnet's 1990s Output On New Box Set
The Graham Bonnet story has been well-chronicled by Cherry Red's Hear No Evil imprint via expanded editions of the English rocker's classic albums as well as a career-spanning anthology. Late in 2017, HNE continued its Bonnet series with a new 3-CD compact clamshell box set. Flying Not Falling: 1991-1999 expands three albums from the versatile vocalist: The Day I Went Mad (1999), Underground (1997), and Here Comes the Night (1991).

Sugar In My Bowl: Bethlehem, Rhino Plan Singles Collections Honoring Nina Simone
Few artists have had the impact on pop, soul, rock and jazz as the iconoclastic Nina Simone. Simone (1933-2003) played by her own rules in life and art, recording some of the most electric and eclectic music imaginable in any genre. It wasn't uncommon on a Simone album to find politically charged protest music alongside popular Broadway hits and reworkings of contemporary rock songs. This April, she will enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, though she preferred to call her singular fusion of
Going to California: Led Zeppelin Goes Super Deluxe with "How the West Was Won"
Fifteen years ago, Led Zeppelin issued How the West Was Won, premiering performances from the band's June 25 and 27, 1972 concerts at the Los Angeles Forum and Long Beach Arena. Now, those seminal tracks have been newly remastered under the supervision of Jimmy Page for a surprise addition to the band's Super Deluxe library - as well as in a variety of formats, all of which are due from Atlantic/Swan Song on March 23 including the first-ever Blu-ray Audio and vinyl editions. The remastered How
Rhino Collects 25 Years of Trips with Grateful Dead Live Compilation
The Grateful Dead played more than 2,300 concerts during their lifespan. Of those, it's estimated that some 2,200 of those shows were taped by the band and their loyal fans. The good-natured California group allowed them to be freely distributed from the beginning, and every Deadhead has a favorite. But where would you start with the live history of such an esteemed band? The Dead and Rhino are offering an answer to that question this spring with The Best of The Grateful Dead Live, a 2CD or 2LP
Intrada's Valiant Effort: A Deluxe 'Roger Rabbit' Soundtrack From Disney!
Intrada is set to make Disney fans p-p-p-pleased with a major soundtrack expansion: Alan Silvestri's stirring score to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Gary K. Wolf's quirky novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit? - the tale of a hard-boiled private detective named Eddie Valiant solving the murder of a comic strip character - was equal parts Raymond Chandler and Chuck Jones, and perfect film fodder. But nobody could have predicted what Who Framed Roger Rabbit would have become: Jeffrey Price and Peter S.
In the Lap of Luxury: Marillion Detail Expanded Remix Package for 'Brave'
Following the release of last year's remixed expansion of Misplaced Childhood, neo-prog rockers Marillion are jumping ahead to one of their top albums of the 1990s to reissue: 1994's Brave, their seventh album. A 4CD/1Blu-ray box set edition of the album is due March 9. Brave was the third Marillion album with vocalist Steve Hogarth, who replaced Fish as frontman in early 1989. A stark departure from 1991's Holidays In Eden, their most pop-centric album, Brave told the story (based on actual
Songs That Sound Like Movies: The Complete Epic Recordings
This new 3-CD collection from Cherry Red Records presents the first three albums created by nonpareil musical storyteller Rupert Holmes, all of which pushed the boundaries of what was expected from pop music. The reissue of these long out-of-print treasures might be cause enough to celebrate, but to sweeten the deal, the label has added a number of rare and previously unreleased bonus tracks as well as a deluxe booklet featuring fresh insights from Rupert. It's a Widescreen package perfect

It also includes liner notes by our own Joe Marchese, featuring quotes from his new interview with DeShannon.

BREAKING! Second Disc, Real Gone Celebrate Johnny Mathis with "Raindrops" and "Bacharach and Kaempfert" Expanded Reissues
In a career spanning over 60 years, the music of Johnny Mathis is more vibrant than ever. The eternally youthful "voice of romance" gained a whole new generation of fans in 2017 with a new album featuring his recordings of future standards by Adele, Bruno Mars, and Pharrell Williams. At the dawn of the 1970s, Mathis was celebrating the great songwriters of that day, too. On March 2, Second Disc Records and Real Gone Music are proud to kick off a new series celebrating the legendary Johnny
It Takes Two to Tango: Analog Spark Reissues Two Todd Rundgren Classics on SACD
Since the dawn of the CD era, Todd Rundgren's classic Bearsville LPs have appeared and re-appeared with regularity - yet they had never appeared in the physical format for which they're most ideally suited: high-resolution audio. Thanks to Analog Spark, that's all changed. The label has just released hybrid stereo SACDs of the singer-songwriter-producer's third and fourth Bearsville LPs - the career-defining Something/Anything (1973) and its daring successor, A Wizard, A True Star (1974).
Some Disc! 'Charlotte's Web' Soundtrack Makes CD Debut From Varese
In 1973, Hanna-Barbera's animated adaptation of E.B. White's beloved children's novel Charlotte's Web was released; over time, it became a multi-generational classic. 45 years later, a major milestone occurs with the first ever CD release of the film's winning soundtrack, courtesy of Varese Sarabande. Though White professed to not care for the film, condemning it as "a travesty" and admitting "I don't care much for jolly songs," Charlotte's Web has incredibly gained fans with time. The story
Salad Days (Are Here Again): Esoteric Plans Multi-Disc, Audio-Visual Procol Harum Anthology
"You'll cry out for mercy, but still there'll be more..." So proclaimed English prog rockers Procol Harum on their fourth album, 1970's Home. Three years before, the group burst onto the scene with the baroque-inspired "A Whiter Shade of Pale," an international hit that topped the British charts and reached No. 5 in America. And the group presses on, having released their 12th album, Novum, in April - a month shy of 50 years since "Pale" first landed in U.K. shops. To celebrate this
Run Out Groove Round-Up: The Dream Syndicate, The Stooges, Secret Machines and Morphine
Today, we're taking a look at four recent titles pressed for audiophile-level vinyl excellence by the Run Out Groove label! Run Out Groove embraces the Paisley Underground with the vinyl premiere of The Dream Syndicate's The Complete Live at Raji's. Recorded on January 31, 1988 (not 1989, as indicated on the original CD release of the truncated album), the set captured the underground heroes prior to the release of their Ghost Stories album - and a year prior to their breakup. But the

My Time Has Come: Anthony Phillips' "Invisible Men" Reissued and Expanded by Cherry Red
Anthony Phillips' album Invisible Men arrived in American stores in fall 1983, following the third volume of the founding Genesis guitarist's Private Parts and Pieces. Phillips envisioned more of a commercial pop sound for the album, which he crafted in collaboration with co-writer Richard Scott. That album, which featured different track listings in the U.S. and in Phillips' native U.K. (where it saw release in spring 1984), has been reissued by Cherry Red's Esoteric Recordings imprint as a
For Your Love: Herman's Hermits, Yardbirds, Hollies Featured on "The Graham Gouldman Songbook"
Ace's latest addition to its Songwriter Series, Listen People: The Graham Gouldman Songbook 1964-2005, appropriately enough begins with a track written by Gouldman, "That's How (It's Gonna Stay)." But the track is also significant in that it was performed by Gouldman, as well - as part of his early group The Mockingbirds. Throughout his career, he's worn many hats - as a songwriter, as a band member, as a solo artist - and all of them are touched upon on this fine celebration of a largely
