September 15, 2023 By Mike Duquette 4 Comments

New Order Substance 2023

Style over Substance? New Order offered both on their unforgettable 1987 compilation - and it's getting expanded as a 4CD set this fall. The newly-remastered Substance 1987 collects once more a dozen classic sides from the British electronic band, from 1981's ceremony to the then-new "True Faith" as well as exclusive updates of "Temptation" and "Confusion." The double vinyl is pressed on black or retail-exclusive red and blue discs, while the 2CD and double cassette (the latter exclusive to

I Ain't Gonna Worry: Motown Preps Digital Deluxe for 50th Anniversary of Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On'

August 10, 2023 By Mike Duquette 8 Comments

Let's Get It On 50

No need to hold back for so long: Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On will be celebrated this month with a digital deluxe edition packed with unreleased tracks. Following the stirring social consciousness of his last album, 1971's What's Going On, Gaye used the musical canvas to dive deep into matters of the bedroom. Romance, carnal desire and the intersections between the two were explored in sessions split between Motown's Detroit studio - including contributions and their newly constructed

Right Now: Van Halen's Second Phase Gets Remastered for New Box Set

August 9, 2023 By Mike Duquette 11 Comments

Van Halen Collection II

Van Halen fans were on pins and needles in the spring of 1986, when the California rockers replaced iconoclastic vocalist David Lee Roth with former Montrose frontman/rhythm guitarist Sammy Hagar. This unexpected partnership will be examined in full on a box set offering the first ever remastered editions of the group's Hagar-led albums on vinyl and CD - plus some bonus material, to boot. The Collection II, released October 6, is a sequel to Warner/Rhino's 2015 box containing new remasters of

Not So 'Last' Splash: The Breeders' Landmark Album Gets Reissued with Two Unheard Tracks

Breeders Last Splash 30

The Breeders' Last Splash - one of the most treasured albums of the '90s alternative rock explosion - will be newly reissued this fall with a small but intriguing selection of bonus material. The 1993 album was given the deluxe treatment for its 20th anniversary in 2013 - but, it turns out, the original analog tapes could not be located to create that set. In the decade since, they've been successfully located, and in addition to newly-remastered favorites like "Cannonball" and "Divine

Over 50 years after David Bowie bade farewell to one of his most recognizable onstage personas, the show in which he did so will be reissued and restored. Ziggy Stardust: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack will be reissued by Parlophone August 11, just a month after the exact anniversary of that landmark date at Hammersmith Odeon in London.

janet deluxe

With her fifth album, Janet Jackson took her artistry and popularity into a new gear for a new decade. Now, 30 years after janet. was released, it's coming back into print this summer as an expanded edition featuring rare bonus material. Coming off the back-to-back critical and commercial smashes of Control (1986) and Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989) - the latter of which met big brother Michael's Thriller-era benchmark of seven Top 10 hits off one album, the youngest member of the Jackson family

Alice Cooper School's Out

School's in on June 9 when Rhino revisits two early classics from Alice Cooper in 2-CD or 180-gram 3-LP expanded editions.  Both 1971's Killer and 1972's School's Out will be reissued with bonus studio and live material.

April 28, 2023 By Joe Marchese 2 Comments

Little Feat Dixie Chicken

"When Lowell [George] and I first got together," Little Feat co-founder Bill Payne remembered to author Bob Mehr in 2022, "our philosophical discussions became about what kind of band we want to be in.  We're not going to be a blues band...but we'll play some blues. We're not going to be a country band...but we'll play some country.  The idea was that it was supposed to be eclectic and not just one thing."  That ethos guided Little Feat for seven studio albums on Warner Bros. Records through

Mind Go Wild: Zappa's 1970 "Hot Rats" Sequel "Funky Nothingness" Gets First Release

April 24, 2023 By Joe Marchese 5 Comments

Frank Zappa Funky Nothingness

In the pantheon of jazz-rock, Frank Zappa's 1969 LP Hot Rats is surely near the pinnacle.  The primarily instrumental album recorded by Zappa, multi-instrumentalist Ian Underwood, and the top tier of L.A.'s session musicians melded the compositional and improvisational sophistication of jazz with Zappa's gritty, searing, and blues-drenched electric rock style.  Recorded to 16 tracks at a time when the technology was still in its infancy, Hot Rats pushed the boundaries of production.  Elements of

Live Evil Super Deluxe

Like all good demons, Black Sabbath proved they could rise from the dead - or, at the very least, the loss of their iconic frontman - with the recruitment of Ronnie James Dio as lead singer in the early '80s. Now, the live document they issued chronicling this era will get a new look for its 40th anniversary. Live Evil, the 1983 double album that followed Dio, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Vinny Appice as they toured in support of Mob Rules and Heaven and Hell the

Huey Japanese singles

Have you heard The News? The sweet pop/rock/soul sound of San Francisco's Huey Lewis & The News has sadly gone silent in recent years, thanks to its one-of-a-kind frontman's battle with Ménière's disease, which causes intermittent hearing loss. But a surprise new reissue campaign courtesy of Universal Music Group's Japanese division promises the most comprehensive look at the band's blockbuster catalogue of the '80s and early '90s. UMG will remaster, expand and reissue the six albums the

Here They Come: Classic 'Star Wars' Recording Gets a New Surround Mix on SACD

March 13, 2023 By Mike Duquette 1 Comment

Charles Gerhardt Star Wars and Close Encounters

Fans of John Williams' sweeping scores to the nine Star Wars films released between 1977 and 2019 must have the patience of a Jedi Knight. While archival-quality expansions of the original trilogy's soundtracks were released in 1997 for the series' 20th anniversary and special edition reissues, the balance of the other six scores remain mostly preserved in their original album forms. In 2018, the series' new owner, The Walt Disney Company, sort of went back to formula on the original and prequel

Fans of French electronic duo Daft Punk may have been shocked when the group suddenly announced their dissolution at the start of 2021. But the robots haven't really powered down: a year later, they digitally expanded debut album Homework for its 25th anniversary, compiled an album of remixes from the era, and even showed off some limited, never-before-seen footage from an early concert following Homework's release (which shockingly showed members Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo and Thomas Bangalter

Get Back to the Woods: Elton John's 'Honky Château' Gets New Deluxe Edition in March

February 1, 2023 By Mike Duquette 6 Comments

Honky Chateau

Though Elton John lavishly retired from touring with a run of shows at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles last year - part of a tour that's set box-office records - you'd be right that it wouldn't be a long, long time before we heard from him in some way, shape, or form. Indeed: now comes word that his 1972 album Honky Château will be reissued just past its 50th anniversary with a trove of rare session demos and live tracks. If Madman Across the Water - reissued and expanded last year by UMe - was
