Can't Wait Till Tomorrow: Cherry Red Expands Sheena Easton's 'Do You'
With 1984's A Private Heaven, Sheena Easton successfully followed in the footsteps of Olivia Newton-John in shedding her "girl next door" persona - so much so that future U.S. Second Lady Tipper Gore's Parents Music Resource Center "honored" Sheena's Prince-penned "Sugar Walls" with a slot on its "Filthy Fifteen" list. No wonder Gore and co. were threatened by the success of "Sugar Walls;" A Private Heaven became the singer's most successful album to date. How to follow it up? Enter Nile

St. Jimmy, Re-Canonized: Green Day Prep 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of 'American Idiot'
With 20 years' hindsight, Green Day probably meant for their seventh studio album to be big. But nobody could have predicted just how big American Idiot got - and this year's latest addition to the year-end music box set line-up will showcase just how big with a package to match. American Idiot will come back into print with a new box set spanning four CDs (or eight colored LPs) and two Blu-ray Discs.

Can't Turn Back the Decks: Phil Collins' 'Both Sides' Gets Deluxe Vinyl Set
When Phil Collins started his deluxe reissue campaign in 2016, he started from both an obvious place and a less obvious one, first expanding 1981 debut Face Value as well as 1993's Both Sides, his fifth album. Now, that latter release - clearly, one of Collins' own favorites in his catalog - is being celebrated this fall with two vinyl products. Rhino will release Both Sides (All the Sides), a 5LP box set featuring the original album, demos, B-sides and live cuts, on September 20. They'll

You Can Call Out My Name: JD Souther's "You're Only Lonely" Returns in Expanded Edition from Omnivore
Michigan-born, Texas-raised John David Souther was one of the first artists signed to David Geffen and Elliot Roberts' groundbreaking Asylum label in 1971. His two albums for Asylum, John David Souther (1972) and Black Rose (1976), established the singer-songwriter's distinctive voice on such now-classic songs as "Faithless Love," "How Long," and "Simple Man, Simple Dream." In 1979, Souther moved over to the Columbia label where he scored a chart-topping hit with the title track of You're Only

You Can't Start a Fire Without a Spark: Arthur Baker on the 'Born in the U.S.A.' Dance Remixes
On June 4, 1984, Bruce Springsteen released Born in the U.S.A., his seventh studio album, and kicked his career into an unpredictable new gear. Augmenting his well-loved classic rock style and haunted lyricism with polished production and accessible pop melodies, the Jersey icon struck gold, platinum and diamond with Born in the U.S.A.: it was the best-selling album of 1985 (it was certified 17x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2022), spun off seven Top 10 singles on
Can You Hear Me Now: Duran Duran's '80s Studio Catalogue Back in Print in July
Look now, look all around: Duran Duran's five studio albums from the '80s were stunningly out of print physically, but that changes this summer.

Beautiful Like a Rainbow: Cyndi Lauper's 'Let the Canary Sing' Documentary Gets Companion Vinyl
In a solo career that's stretched past 40 years, Cyndi Lauper has gone from unlikely pop idol to one of the genre's great, enduring voices - not to mention an icon and activist for the LGBTQ+ community. All of those sides of her work are the subject of a forthcoming documentary this summer - and Legacy Recordings, keeper of most of Cyndi's catalogue (and a producer on the film) - will release a companion album to go with it. Let the Canary Sing bows on Paramount+ on June 4. Directed by Alison

Following last year's expanded reissue of Company B's debut album, The Stereo Sonic is back with a new expansion: this time, of Nu Shooz's breakthrough album, Poolside. The 1986 Atlantic Records release of Poolside marked the culmination of years during which the group climbed the showbiz ladder. The husband-and-wife duo of John Smith (guitarist) and Valerie Day (vocalist/percussionist) were mainstays of a lineup that experienced many permutations, from a soul quartet to a big band
Soundtrack Watch: Intrada Premieres Horner's First Score, BSX Re-Presses American 'Godzilla'

Their latest collaboration with Intrada is one of the most notable yet: Horner's short

From the time singer-guitarist Glen Campbell recorded "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" in 1967, he became forever linked with the words and music of Jimmy Layne Webb. Formerly a staff songwriter for Motown's Jobete Music arm, Webb had placed songs with big names (The Supremes) and lesser-known talents (Danny Day, The Contessas) when he attracted the ear of Soul City Records' Johnny Rivers. The "Poor Side of Town" and "Memphis, Tennessee" singer was the first to release a version of "Phoenix," on

Yes It Is: Grapefruit Collects 85 Beatles Covers on "We Can Work It Out"

Party It Down: "We're An American Band" Explores U.S. Hard Rock with Grand Funk, Vanilla Fudge, Mountain, Spirit, Nazz, More
We're An American Band: the new 3-CD collection from Cherry Red's Grapefruit Records is titled after Grand Funk (Railroad)'s 1973 chart-topping anthem. The song penned by Don Brewer and produced by Todd Rundgren was a semi-autobiographical look at life on the road, complete with parties, groupies, and guest stars. The story goes that the title phrase developed from a friendly argument between Grand Funk and Humble Pie about British vs. American rock. Brewer insisted that wasn't the way it
Can't Be Touched: Early Years of Elliott Smith's Heatmiser Revisited on New Collection
To take the late Elliott Smith's solo work at face value, he was known for dark, introspective songwriting that influenced a generation of indie musicians. But his early work in the band Heatmiser tells another side of the story - and this fall, 20 years after his tragic passing, Third Man Records will revisit the band's work with a collection of rare and unreleased material. The Music of Heatmiser, available on CD or 2LP October 6, is named for the self-released cassette the group -
