Review: Brett Harris, "Up in the Air"
The Second Disc welcomes back Ted Frank as he takes a sonic journey with one of his favorite albums so far of 2016, Brett Harris' Up in the Air! It may not be a reissue, but Harris' spin on vintage pop sounds make this release a must-listen. Listening to Brett Harris' newest album Up in the Air is an intimate experience. The southern storyteller sings to the listener with a bit of a weathered whisper and appears seasoned beyond his years. While the North Carolina-based singer-songwriter
Time to Get Down: Real Gone Returns The O'Jays' "Back Stabbers" To Vinyl
The O'Jays quietly began their association with Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff on 1970's Neptune album In Philadelphia, announcing the Ohio group's shift to the City of Brotherly Love and its burgeoning soul scene. But there was nothing quiet about the opening track of Back Stabbers, the trio's first album for Gamble and Huff's Philadelphia International Records. "When the World's at Peace," by Gamble, Bunny Sigler and Phil Hurtt, imagined a time "when it's safe to walk the streets/when we learn
Paint It Black: RPM Collects The Tomcats' Raw Sixties Rock On "Running at Shadows"
Collectors of rare psychedelia likely know the band July and its self-titled 1968 album on the Major Minor label featuring "My Clown," "Dandelion Seeds," and "The Way." But few remember that the psych cult heroes of July began their career as members of The Tomcats. Cherry Red's RPM label has recently collected the Ealing band's rare Spanish EPs, plus previously unreleased tracks, on Running at Shadows: The Spanish Recordings 1965-66. Tom Newman (lead vocals), Peter Cook (guitar), Alan
Miles In The Sky: Davis' 90th Celebrated With New Film Soundtrack and Glasper Collaboration
May 26, 2016 would have been Miles Davis' 90th birthday. Though the legendary musician died in 1991 at just 65 years of age, his body of work has hardly left the spotlight. Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings have recently announced two upcoming projects to mark Davis' landmark birthday. First, on Friday, April 1, the labels will issue the soundtrack to the biopic Miles Ahead, directed, co-written by and starring Don Cheadle. Then on May 27, Everything's Beautiful arrives. This release,
But Never Ever On A Sunday: él Collects Greek Cinema Classics, Early Michel Legrand
For the past seven decades, Michel Legrand has been composing rich melodies for film, stage, television and records. The three-time Academy Award winner and co-writer of such songs as "The Windmills of Your Mind," "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life" and "Happy (Love Theme from Lady Sings the Blues)" has been a prolific recording artist since the 1950s, and now Cherry Red's él label has recently reissued some of his earliest work on Bonjour Paris/Le Joli Mai/Rendez-vous a Paris.

Sarah Vaughan's "Live at Rosy's" Premieres 1978 Concert On CD
"Live from Rosy's...The Divine One, Sarah Vaughan!" So begins Resonance Records and NPR Music's new release, Live at Rosy's. It would take an extraordinary talent to live up to that sobriquet, but throughout her career, Sarah Vaughan certainly did. Live at Rosy's is the first commercial release of Vaughan's May 31, 1978 performances at the New Orleans nightspot, recorded for NPR's Jazz Alive program and presented here as remastered from the original eight multitrack reels. Vaughan was backed

With a Little Help From Their Friends: Esoteric Reissues "McGough and McGear" In Mono and Stereo

De-Luxe: Cherry Red Chronicles The Sound of Shoegaze On "Still in a Dream" Box Set
Noise-rock, dream-pop, post-punk, drone-rock, neo-psychedelia...all of these musical subgenres and more became components of the shoegaze sound. The term itself was rather derisively coined by the press to describe a certain group of musicians' tendencies to stare down at their feet while performing - partly out of introspection, partly out of necessity to operate guitar effects pedals. But the "shoegaze" term stuck, and so did the music. Still in a Dream: A Story of Shoegaze, a lavish,
Still Driving: America Releases "Lost and Found" On Vinyl
Last year, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell, a.k.a. America, released two significant archival collections bookending their still-thriving career. Archives Vol. 1 presented 15 previously unreleased alternate versions, early mixes, demos, rehearsals and outtakes spanning the halcyon period between America's 1971 debut album America and 1975's Hearts. These, of course, featured Beckley and Bunnell in addition to original member Dan Peek. Lost and Found pressed fast-forward on the band's history
Slip Away: Ace Reissues, Expands Two Albums From Soul Legend Clarence Carter
As 2000 ushered in a new millennium, it also reintroduced the soulful voice of Clarence Carter on Cameron Crowe's Grammy-winning soundtrack to Almost Famous. Being the sole (pun intended) R&B gem on this compilation, Crowe embedded Carter's hit song, "Slip Away" into what is otherwise his definitive 1970s classic rock retrospective. This is not to say that Carter is the only R&B artist found in the film proper. On the contrary, Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour" was masterfully used
Mr. Clean: Winfield Parker At Ru-Jac
Winfield Parker began his singing career at Baltimore's Ru-Jac label, one of America's first African-American-owned record labels (active from the early 1960s through the early 1970s). In 2015, Omnivore acquired the pioneering Ru-Jac label and its publishing assets, and on March 25, the first title from that acquisition will see release. Mr. Clean: Winfield Parker at Ru-Jac features 23 tracks (including never-before-released material) of prime 1960s East Coast soul from Ru-Jac's premier
Breathe Me: Sia's "Colour the Small One" Gets Vinyl Debut
Before Sia hit it big, both as a pop songwriter for Rihanna, Beyonce and Britney Spears and an enormous-voiced singer of tunes like "Titanium," "Chandelier" and recent hit "Alive," she was a quirky, tuneful indie-pop artist whose albums became critical darlings if not commercial successes. One such project, her third album Colour the Small One, is being reissued this spring, as both a digital expanded edition and, for the first time, a vinyl offering. Colour the Small One was, upon release in
English Heart

Wouldn't It Be Nice: "Pet Sounds" 50th Anniversary Celebrated in June With Multiple Editions Including 4 CD/Blu-ray Box Set
On May 16, 1966, one of the most acclaimed albums in pop/rock history was released: The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds. 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of this landmark album and it is being commemorated in several ways. Brian Wilson is embarking on a concert tour in a little under a week in which he and his band will play the album in its entirety for what's being billed as the last time. And it has just been revealed that a new box set is due to be released on June 10 by Capitol/UMe to join the
Review: Elvis Presley, "The Album Collection"
I. Playing for Keeps "You don't have to face the music...you don't have to face the crowd...Just go back where you came from," sings a world-weary Elvis Presley on "It's Easy for You," the closing track of his 1977 album Moody Blue. "If you ever tire of the good life, call me in a year or two...I've got no choice, I'll forgive you, 'cause it's easy for you." Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's musical recrimination not only dated back to the superstar artist's final studio session - at home

Dan Fogelberg, Johnny Paycheck, Beau Brummels, More Join Bobby Darin On Real Gone's May Slate
Real Gone Music has just announced its May release slate, and with rock, jazz, gospel, country, pop and beyond, it's one of the label's most diverse months yet! Naturally, we're partial to the May 6 release of Bobby Darin's Another Song on My Mind: The Motown Years from Real Gone and our own Second Disc Records (get all of the details right here!), but there's plenty more on offer, too!

Find Out What's Happening: Ace Explores "Where Soul Meets Country" On New Collection

Now, the label has revisited the country-soul territory - in reverse! Out of Left Field: Where Soul Meets Country presents 24 sizzling R&B songs as sung by country's greatest performers, and most are surprisingly comfortable fits.

Love is the Drug: Grace Jones' "Warm Leatherette" Gets Expanded
"See the breaking glass in the underpass..." Universal will expand Grace Jones' influential fourth album Warm Leatherette this summer with a variety of formats. Jones' tenure on Island Records has been the subject of some fascinating reissues in recent years. Her 1981 masterpiece Nightclubbing was expanded in 2014, and the following year saw the release of Disco, a box set compiling her first three albums with producer Tom Moulton, released between 1977 and 1979. Warm Leatherette is the
Playing In The Band: Rhino Unveils 12-CD, 3-CD Sets For Grateful Dead's July 1978 Concerts
There's more Dead on the way from Rhino. 1978 was a successful year for Grateful Dead on many levels. The band released Shakedown Street, its second album for Clive Davis' Arista label, and played over 80 shows, including three landmark performances at the Giza Pyramids in Egypt. On May 13, Rhino will draw into that vast well of live recordings for a major box set. The 12-CD set July 1978: The Complete Recordings focuses on five previously unreleased concerts from that month, and marks the
