When You're Smiling: Impex Returns to "Sing and Dance with Frank Sinatra" with Lavish 1STEP Box
Roughly four years ago, the Impex label revisited Sing and Dance with Frank Sinatra in both hybrid mono SACD and deluxe LP formats. The 1950 album was a landmark in the legendary vocalist's career. After he released the very first pop long-playing record with Columbia's 1948 reissue of The Voice of Frank Sinatra, he took advantage of the format with Sing and Dance. Initially available as a set of four 10-inch 78s or a single 33-1/3 RPM record, the album saw Sinatra at the dawn of his

Run for Home: Lindisfarne's "Mercury Years" Collected on Box from Cherry Red, Lemon
With a sound melding harmony vocals to soaring folk-rock, Newcastle upon Tyne band Lindisfarne released three studio albums - including the 1972 breakthrough Fog on the Tyne, which spent 56 weeks on the U.K. Albums Chart - before splintering. Two-fifths of the band carried on with new members for a pair of albums in 1973-74, but by '75, the group had called it a day. Then, in 1978, they were back. The album was cheekily entitled Back and Fourth, referring to the fact that the originals had

The 1974 Tour Recordings
In 1974, Bob Dylan embarked on an extensive tour with his old backing band. Now, they, too, were universally known - as The Band - and the double bill hit indoor arenas across North America for 40 concerts over 30 dates and 21 cities. The tour became one of the largest and highest-profile of the era, in no small part due to the promotional efforts of David Geffen, who'd spurred on the talks and had recently lured Dylan away from Columbia Records to his own Asylum label. While Dylan's Asylum
