Get Together (With Yourself): High Moon Expands Lotti Golden's Cult Classic "Motor-Cycle"
"Motor-Cycle transported me back to the '60s in a way not many records do...There's no irony or second-guessing: Golden's all in, a psychedelic daughter of the Beat generation, among her equally hippie cohort, in swirls of free-loving, drug-chasing, multiracial, pan-sexual abandon... The album is a mother lode, not unlike Daniel Johnston or The Shaggs, say, for its multi-level fascination." High Moon Records has quoted groundbreaking punk legend Richard Hell in describing Lotti Golden's 1969

Sweet Soul Dream: World Party's 'Best in Show' Gets Expanded
The work of the late musical polymath Karl Wallinger will be revisited this year with a worldwide expanded release of the sole compilation credited to his project World Party. Originally released in certain territories (and not his native United Kingdom) to promote a tour in 2007, Best in Show was rather cynically designed in sequence with World Party's most popular tracks on digital music shops, thus kicking off with debut single "Ship of Fools" and originally featuring no less than seven
Life's What They Made It: Slightly Expanded Talk Talk Compilation Gets CD, Vinyl Release
Nearly two decades after its original release, a compilation from U.K. band Talk Talk will be dusted off and reconfigured for reissue. 1997's The Very Best of Talk Talk was, at the time, a pretty standard affair - a postmortem of the band's evolution from New Romantic hitmakers to ambitious art-rock ensemble, six years after the band took their final bow.
