I'm the Slime: Zappa's "Over-Nite Sensation" Goes Super Deluxe for 50th

August 28, 2023 By Joe Marchese 1 Comment

Frank Zappa Over Nite Sensation

The title of Frank Zappa's 1973 album Over-Nite Sensation was, expectedly, dripping with sarcasm; the album was the prolific composer-bandleader's seventeenth overall release. But the "sensation" part was spot-on. The LP became Zappa's first of two U.S. gold-certified releases and an ideal entry point into his musical world. On November 3, Zappa Records and UMe celebrate the 50th anniversary of this landmark record in a variety of formats including a 4CD/1Blu-ray super deluxe edition, 2LP and

Can't Be Touched: Early Years of Elliott Smith's Heatmiser Revisited on New Collection

August 25, 2023 By Mike Duquette 3 Comments

The Music of Heatmiser

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 -

Rose Marie Sings The Complete Mercury Recordings and More

The year was 1929.  At the age of six, Rose Marie Mazzetta headlined a Warner Bros. Vitaphone short film entitled Baby Rose Marie: The Child Wonder.  The star was already a showbiz veteran, having begun performing at the age of three; at five, she was offered a seven-year contract by the NBC radio network.  Though Rose Marie would soon drop the "Baby," she would remain a wonder as, simply, "Rose Marie" for the entirety of her extraordinary career which ultimately spanned ten decades until her

Stackridge may be best-remembered today for the band's third album, 1974's The Man in the Bowler Hat.  Produced by Sir George Martin, it remains their highest-charting LP.  But Cherry Red's Esoteric Recordings is aiming to bring all of the Stackridge discography to light with a new reissue campaign.  Both 1971's self-titled debut and 1972's Friendliness are available now, with the band's next three albums all scheduled for reissue later this month and in September.

CHVRCHES have really had some moments in the last few years. The Scottish electronic trio has toured relentlessly, working up enough presence to secure a new deal away from longtime indie home Glassnote, signing to Island Records in 2022.

Not Like We Love Our Freedom: Joni Mitchell's Third "Archives" Revisits 1972-1975 Period

Joni Archives 3

"The sound of this thing was like, 'We're breaking some new ground here.'" Earlier this year, musician-arranger-bandleader Tom Scott of the L.A. Express reminisced to the U.K.'s MOJO magazine about working with Joni Mitchell on her 1972 album For the Roses. Indeed, Scott realized early on that the merging of folk and jazz sensibilities was about to take the singer-songwriter's music to the next level. Mitchell's creatively groundbreaking 1972-1975 albums - For the Roses, Court and Spark (1974),

Dave Edmunds Repeat When Necessary

Throughout a career spanning six decades, Dave Edmunds never strayed far from the primal power of genuine rock-and-roll.  After stints in various bands - most notably, Love Sculpture - the Welsh singer-guitarist struck out on his own and scored a U.K. Christmas chart-topper in 1970 with a cover of Dave Bartholomew's "I Hear You Knocking."   In January 1972, he released his first solo album: Rockpile.  Its title would figure prominently in Edmunds' future as he co-founded a band of that name with

Burt Bacharach Dream Big

In recent months, Cherry Red's El imprint has turned its attention to a pair of legendary American composers.  Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) and Burt Bacharach (1928-2023) were born just a decade apart, though Bacharach lived more than three decades longer than Bernstein.  Neither man was born in New York City, but both created much of their remarkable work there.  Both were proud Jewish Americans, and both wrote for the musical theatre.  An American in New York: Leonard Bernstein - The City
