Review: "Singles: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Deluxe Edition"
A Tribute Told in Vignettes... Well, I don't like to reduce us to just being part of the "Seattle Sound." I'd like to think of us as expanding more. Like, we're huge in Europe right now. I mean, we've got records... uh, a big record just broke in Belgium. -Cliff Poncier, Singles A Cameron Crowe film tends to have a "killer" soundtrack. Listening to a Crowe soundtrack is an intriguing adventure filled with carefully curated juxtapositions. In fact, the experience is a lot like the
Still the Same: Classic Bob Seger Albums Make Streaming Debut
As the music business increasingly adopts streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music into their strategies for success, it becomes painfully clear when albums (or whole catalogues, even) are missing from the digital realm. This year, we've already seen the triumphant return of Prince's Warner Bros.-era masters beyond the Tidal platform, ahead of next week's Purple Rain reissue. On Friday, one of the most famous holdouts finally relented. Bob Seger, the iconic Detroit rocker, and Capitol

Moanin' At Midnight: Memphis Artists Gather for Sun Records Charity Tribute
In February 1952, Sam Phillips launched Sun Records at 706 Union Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee - the site of his Sun Studio, previously known as Memphis Recording Service.

Mancini scored four films for Audrey Hepburn - Breakfast at Tiffany's, Charade, Wait Until
Get Busy: Sean Paul Releases Greatest Hits Collection

A recently released greatest hits compilation from Rhino Records puts those dancefloor classics in full focus. Born Sean Paul Henriques in Kingston, Jamaica, the singer was discovered in his mid-20s, with a flow compared favorably to dancehall pioneer Super Cat.

Kick Out The Jams! Run Out Groove Compiles Best of The MC5 on Vinyl
Has the time ever been more right for a return of The MC5? The band from Lincoln Park, Michigan fused garage rock with elements of blues, jazz, and psychedelia to give voice to the counterculture movement of the mid- to late 1960s in as aggressive a fashion as possible. Between 1969 and 1971, the band released three albums on Elektra and Atlantic, anticipating the punk movement with fast and furiously heavy riffs. Run Out Groove, Rhino's new arm dedicated to limited edition

Hanging by a Moment: Lifehouse to Release Greatest Hits Compilation
Pop quiz: what was the biggest single of 2001? Here's a hint: it's one of only three that never actually topped the Billboard Hot 100 for a single week. That answer would be "Hanging by a Moment," the breakthrough single by Los Angeles pop-rockers Lifehouse. Now, 17 years and four Top 10 albums later, the group is slated to release a greatest-hits compilation through UMe. Led by smoky-voiced, spiritual-not-religious songwriter Jason Wade, Lifehouse first began its run as Blyss, an alternative

First up, coming out on August 4, is a two-fer from the band The Rain Parade.

The Bangles are the best known group to be a part of this genre. Rain Parade
In Memoriam: Adam West (1928-2017)
For many, Adam West will always be the one, true Batman. The self-described "Bright Knight" passed away yesterday at the age of 88 following a brief battle with leukemia. Yet he will always remain in the hearts of his fans not just for his indelible portrayal of the Caped Crusader, but for his eternally tongue-in-cheek good humor and considerable talent. West survived being typecast in Hollywood to establish himself to a new generation with his numerous voiceover performances on the big and

Ask For "The World": Skeeter Davis' "Let Me Get Close to You" Expanded on CD with All Her 1963-1965 Solo Hits
Exactly 55 years ago today, on June 8, 1962, Skeeter Davis stepped into RCA Studios in Nashville with producer Chet Atkins to record "The End of the World." Despite having a professional recording career dating back nearly a decade to 1953 as both a solo act and one-half of The Davis Sisters (including several Country chart hits), "The End of the World" would be Skeeter's "breakthrough" and become forever associated with her as it climbed to No. 2 on both Billboard's Hot 100 and Country charts,
BREAKING! A Song Worth Singing: Johnny Mathis Special Airs This Saturday, New Box Set Arrives

Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment: Ramones Remix and Expand "Leave Home" for 40th Anniversary
Last year's deluxe 40th anniversary edition of the self-titled debut album by the Ramones looks to be the first in a series! Rhino Records today announced a rarity packed 3CD/1LP edition of the band's second album, 1977's Leave Home, for release this summer. Leave Home was a progression for the Forest Hills punk quartet: more diverse songs written independently by the band instead of devised in the studio; a budget nearly doubled from the sessions for Ramones (plus a big shot producer, Tony
Step Inside, Walk This Way: Def Leppard Expand "Hysteria" to Seven Discs
In very many ways, Def Leppard's fourth studio album Hysteria was their biggest--and a new box set due this year looks to prove that en masse. On August 4--exactly 30 years since it was first released--Bludgeon Riffola and UMC will release multiple expanded editions of Hysteria, including a new 3CD deluxe edition, a 5CD/2DVD box set (both boasting material not on the 20th anniversary deluxe edition released in 2007) and vinyl formats.

Strung Out: Wendy & Lisa's "Eroica" To Be Expanded by Cherry Red
Looking for something Prince-related to tide you over before the Purple Rain reissue hits stores? Cherry Pop Records is reissuing Eroica, the third album from Prince's longtime collaborators Wendy & Lisa. Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman were already several years removed from their split with Prince (who disbanded The Revolution in 1986); in 1987, they put their only pop single on the U.S. charts with the criminally underrated pop nugget "Waterfall." By the release of Eroica, the duo's
The Beat Goes On: Ace Collects Rock and Soul of "1967: The Year Pop Divided"
Late in 2015, Ace Records released the compilation Jon Savage's 1966: The Year The Decade Exploded to coincide with the publication of the author-historian's book of the same name. Now, Ace and Savage have followed that CD release with another volume - 1967: The Year Pop Divided. The 2-CD collection's mission statement is clearly set out: "MOR ballads were rife in the U.K. charts in 1967, but thankfully not on this dynamic collection of rock, soul, pop, and incipient funk and psych the teenage
