Da Doo Rendezvous: Cherry Red Collects Valerie Carter's Columbia Albums
I always cook with honey/To sweeten up the night/We always cook with honey/Tell me, how's your appetite/For some sweet love? Valerie Carter liked to cook with honey. Her dish was music-making, and the honey was the lilting yet expressive voice which made her incisive compositions (including "Cook with Honey," a hit for Judy Collins) go down so easy. Cherry Red's Cherry Tree imprint has recently brought together the late singer-songwriter's two Columbia albums, originally released in 1977
Lightning Crashes: Live Reissue "Throwing Copper" With Bonus Tracks, Live Woodstock Set

The Jerry Harrison-produced album spawned two No. 1 singles on the Modern Rock Charts, "Lightning Crashes" and "Selling the Drama," and eventually, the record would be certified 8x Platinum by the

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! The Emmy-nominated 1966 television special was the third overall for Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts series and the second to be holiday-themed, after A Charlie Brown Christmas. It earned a whopping 49 share in the ratings and was so successful that CBS re-aired it every year through 2000, with ABC picking up the tradition after that. Yet despite a beloved score by Vince Guaraldi (who else?), a soundtrack album to Great Pumpkin had never been released in any
The Pleasure Principle: Janet Jackson Albums Coming To Vinyl, Plus Expanded 'Control: The Remixes'

It's one that is full of strangeness, starkness, and subtlety.

Yes, the NYC performance artist collaborated with David Bowie (as seen on
Life of Work: Iggy Pop's "Zombie Birdhouse" Reissued on CD and LP
A long-lost classic album from Iggy Pop has arrived today on CD and LP from Caroline International: Zombie Birdhouse. The album was Pop's sixth studio record and saw him combining Afrobeat influences, droning electronics, and free-association.
