Hey Little Sister: Billy Idol Expands Debut LP with Unreleased Live Show
On July 28, it'll be a nice day to start again: Billy Idol's self-titled debut album will be reissued on CD with a bonus live show. Released in 1982, Billy Idol was the first full-length solo effort from the British rocker with the spiky bleached hair and the inimitable sneer. A year before, he'd issued the Don't Stop EP, offering a remix of "Dancing with Myself" - the last major single from his former band Generation X - and a peppy cover of Tommy James and The Shondells' "Mony Mony." (A
Dance Only with Me: Stage Door Reissues Styne, Comden, and Green's "Say, Darling" as Deluxe Edition
Upon its May 13, 1954 opening, The Pajama Game was an instant smash. The Tony Award-winning Best Musical by George Abbott, Richard Bissell, Richard Adler, and Jerry Ross went on to run 1,063 performances and inspire a London production, two Broadway revivals, and countless regional, school, and community theatre productions. But for Bissell, the Iowa-born author of the novel 7-1/2 Cents on which The Pajama Game was based, the road to Broadway was a bumpy one. Bissell put his memories to paper
Holding On: Cherry Red Collects Beverley Craven's Epic Albums on "Memories"

Day of the Sword: Quartet Brings Ennio Morricone's "Red Sonja" Score To Vinyl
A new documentary series, simply entitled Arnold, recently premiered on Netflix. The three-part film chronicles the life and career of Arnold Schwarzenegger. If you go back to the earliest part of the bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-Governor's film career, you will find his two Conan films and the related Red Sonja. The 1985 movie starred Brigitte Nielsen as the red-headed warrior and composer Ennio Morricone was brought on to provide the score. That score has been given its very first vinyl
Stand Back: Rhino Releases Stevie Nicks' Complete Discography on CD, LP Box
If you'll forgive the easy reference, there's no one quite as bewitching as Stevie Nicks. Since she joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975 and helped turn them from British blues-based cult act to blockbuster pop/rock icons, her enrapturing voice and stage presence have influenced generations. In 1981, she began a parallel solo career with hits on her own that helped make her, in 2019, the first woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice. It's that solo material that's the subject of a
New Direction: Bobby Darin's '60s Label Reactivates in July, Unreleased Music Promised
At the conclusion of his second Atlantic Records tenure in 1967 - a period which yielded the hit "If I Were a Carpenter" and vivid journeys through contemporary folk, Broadway, and Hollywood songbooks - Bobby Darin struck out on his own to form the Direction Records label. Devastated by the assassination of his close friend Robert F. Kennedy, shaken by revelations about his family, and stricken by the ongoing turmoil of the day, Bobby sought to shed the showbiz style to which he'd become

Elvis' 'Aloha' Beams Into Box Set for 50th Anniversary
America said Aloha to Elvis Presley in between a trip to the Dark Side of the Moon and a visit to the Houses of the Holy when the once and future King's Aloha from Hawaii album earned a berth between Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin atop the Billboard chart. Presley's Honolulu concert of January 14, 1973, preserved on records by RCA, was monumental in every respect. The most expensive entertainment broadcast to that point in time, Aloha from Hawaii was viewed by an estimated audience of over one

Made For These Times: The Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" Arrives in Dolby Atmos, Mixed by Giles Martin
When The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, the band's eleventh studio album, first was released in May 1966, response in the U.S. was surprisingly tepid. Though both "Sloop John B" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice" soared to the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, Capitol Records was unsure how to promote the album which represented an artistic zenith, and the beginning of a new era, for The Beach Boys. It peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 and was the group's first album since 1963 to miss a Gold

OUT TOMORROW! Second Disc Records, Real Gone Music Turn Up the "Disco Heat" with New Sylvester Anthology
When the self-described "disco queen" known as Sylvester stepped on a New York stage opening for Chaka Khan, the local press was entranced. One newspaper approvingly noted that he made "David Bowie look like Lawrence Welk." Nothing was too outrageous for Sylvester. But at his core, he was serious about music and about breaking down the walls of identity. In appearance and demeanor, the unapologetically gay San Francisco star challenged the gender binary long before such discussions were in
