When it was announced, Rhino promised that it would kick off a series of anniversary reissues of all of the band's albums. Details of the next Dead project have now emerged and it is not a new edition of an officially released album but rather the first authorized released of one of the band's most famous concert bootlegs: the Cornell 5/8/77 show. It will be released on May 5 to

Playing with Electric Trains: Squeeze's Chris Difford to Release Solo Box Set
Arguably one of the finest British songwriting duos since Lennon and McCartney, Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook have made perfect, powerful pop as leaders of Squeeze since the release of their first material in 1977--all the way up to an out-of-nowhere triumph with 2015's Cradle to the Grave, the band's first album of new material in more than 15 years. Since that initial dissolution of the duo's partnership after 1998's Domino, both Chris and Glenn sought to found their voices as solo

Beyond "The Year 2525": Tune In Collects Zager and Evans' RCA Recordings
In the annals of one-hit wonders, few are as well-remembered as the duo Zager and Evans. Rick Evans and Denny Zager, both of Lincoln, Nebraska, hit it big in 1969 with their dark, apocalyptic single "In the Year 2525." But the duo never scored another Hot 100 hit despite the fact that "2525" topped the Pop and AC charts in the United States and also went to the top in the United Kingdom. Now, their recordings for RCA have been collected by Cherry Red's Tune In imprint as In the
