UPDATED 6/12/20 It's no doubt been a long and winding road for fans, but the wait for the much-anticipated Peter Jackson film on the making of The Beatles' Let It Be album is almost over. Jackson has combed through more than fifty hours of film and 140 hours of audio recordings to create his reworked documentary. The result will be called The Beatles: Get Back and is set to be released in theaters nationwide on August 27, 2021 September 4, 2020 through a distribution deal with Disney.

Follow Me Follow: Grapefruit Reissues, Expands "The Birthday Party" from Jeff Lynne, The Idle Race
For Jeff Lynne, listening to The Idle Race must be a bit like viewing baby pictures. He's quoted from a 2013 interview in the liner notes to Cherry Red/Grapefruit's essential new reissue of the band's 1968 LP The Birthday Party: "I still like all those Idle Race songs, but I just find them so weird!" Indeed, The Birthday Party is weird - but in the best sense of the word as the young Lynne's melodic gifts were already very much in flower in his pre-Move, pre-ELO days. Somewhat surprisingly, The

Cream, Goodbye Tour Live 1968 (Polydor/UMC) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada) This new 4-CD box set expands on Cream's farewell album Goodbye Cream, but with a twist: it drops the three studio tracks and instead presents four complete concerts including the Los Angeles Forum show from which the original three live cuts on Goodbye were culled.

Cherry Red Round-Up: Complete Box Sets Celebrate The Honeycombs, The Meters
The Honeycombs weren't quite a one-hit wonder. The stomping "Have I the Right?" established the group, under the aegis of maverick producer Joe Meek, when it topped the U.K. Singles Chart in the summer of 1964. But its follow-ups barely squeaked into the top 40, and a No. 12 placement for "That's the Way" was too little, too late to bolster the group's fortunes. These showings, however, were no reflection on the band's quality. For one of its final releases, Cherry Red's RPM imprint has
The Album Collection 1977-1985
True to its name, The Village People's The Album Collection 1977-1985 includes the complete discography from the infamous sextet, issued primarily on the Casablanca and later RCA Victor labels. A total of nine albums are featured, including the double-disc Live and Sleazy. All discs are packaged in miniature replicas of their original album sleeves; both Live and Sleazy and 1980's Can't Stop The Music retain their original gatefold designs. However, there are almost no bonus tracks, save for a
Can't Stop The Music: Edsel Preps Village People Box Set
Put on your costumes and get ready to dance: Edsel's releasing a CD box set of all the albums from disco hitmakers Village People. True to its name, The Album Collection 1977-1985 includes the complete discography from the infamous sextet, issued primarily on the Casablanca and later RCA Victor labels. A total of nine albums are featured, including the double-disc Live and Sleazy. All discs are packaged in miniature replicas of their original album sleeves; both Live and Sleazy and 1980's
What a Buzz! La-La Land Premieres Goldsmith's 'The Swarm,' Expands Williams' 'Far and Away'
La-La Land Records kicks off March with a killer pair of archival score releases by two of the most famous film composers of all time! The label will premiere Jerry Goldsmith's oft-requested The Swarm (1978) and expand John Williams' underrated Far and Away (1992) this month. Having kicked off a disaster movie craze in the '70s by producing The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno (both of which featured scores by Williams that were recently given deluxe treatment in a box set from
A New Sound: El Collects the Far-Out Music That Inspired Sixties Rock
For years, the El imprint of Cherry Red has been collecting all the strangest and most fascinating avant-garde classical pieces, electronic experiments, and oddball rarities for a fervent group of admirers. Though their releases can be a little esoteric, El's collections have always been able to welcome in new listeners. And now, they offer what might be the essential introduction to twentieth-century avant-garde and classical (at least for listeners tuned to popular music). It's called I'd
Dionne Warwick's "Déjà Vu: The Arista Recordings" Box Out Today from Cherry Red, SoulMusic
UPDATED 2/28: Earlier this week, the popular competition show The Masked Singer unmasked The Mouse. But to anyone who's ever listened to a radio over the past 50-plus years, there was no need for a reveal. It was obvious that, underneath the giant mouse head, was the voice of only one person: the inimitable Dionne Warwick. Over 40 years ago, Warwick left Warner Bros. Records and signed to Clive Davis' Arista label to begin a new chapter in her remarkable career. Today, Cherry Red's SoulMusic
Release Round-Up: Week of February 28

Short Takes, Broadway Edition: London "Annie" Comes to CD, Kritzerland Continues "Revisited," and Mondo Has "Bathtubs"
The sun will come out tomorrow...because that's the release date for Stage Door Records' world premiere CD release of the Original London Cast Recording of Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse, and Martin Charnin's beloved musical Annie. A little over a year after its smash, Tony Award-winning debut on Broadway, Annie opened in the West End at the Victoria Palace Theatre (today the home of Hamilton). While original star Andrea McArdle repeated her performance for the first 40 performances, the role of
I Sing To Know I'm Alive: Lost Nina Simone Classic Reissued on CD, LP in April
Few singers could conjure as much emotion through words and tone as Nina Simone. While many of her best-known albums from the '60s and '70s have become widely available in recent years, music from her ex-U.S. years have been much harder to find. Among the most sought-after is Fodder On My Wings, a 1982 album originally released on the French label Carrere. Decades out-of-print on a major label, the album will be re-released by Verve and UMe - complete with new cover art - on April 3. Whether
Review: Frank Zappa, "The Hot Rats Sessions"
What is jazz-rock? The label has been applied to the work of diverse artists such as Chicago, Blood Sweat & Tears, Miles Davis, Steely Dan, and Santana (and that's just to name some of the most well-known exponents) not to mention an entire cadre of fusion artists like the groups Weather Report and Return to Forever. In the jazz-rock canon, the name of Frank Zappa certainly stands tall. The multi-faceted artist delivered one of the genre's earliest and most seminal albums with 1969's Hot
Tell Mama: Real Gone Prepares Reissues from Grateful Dead, Martha Velez, and Sopwith Camel
If blues-rock, jams, and prog are your bag, you'll want to mark March 27 on your calendar. Real Gone Music is set to release a hard-to-find Bay Area pysch-rock LP from Sopwith Camel, a stellar blues-rock effort by Martha Velez featuring music royalty, and the latest entry in their Grateful Dead reissue series with Road Trips Vol. 3, No. 2: Austin 11/15/71. The Grateful Dead title arrives as a 2-CD set, presenting a smoldering show performed not long after Keith Godchaux joined the band.
Hidden Depth: Cherry Red, Esoteric Expand "The End of the Game" from Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green
The End of the Game, influential blues guitarist and Fleetwood Mac co-founder Peter Green's 1970 proper debut album, should have marked a beginning rather than the promised end. But Green's title was prescient; he didn't return with another album for almost a decade even as his old band skyrocketed to superstardom. Cherry Red's Esoteric Recordings imprint has just returned The End of the Game to CD in a single-disc, expanded edition. Green entered the studio for The End of the Game under
Review: Hank Williams, "Pictures from Life's Other Side"
Hank Williams' Pictures from Life's Other Side isn't your ordinary box set. The collection from BMG is essentially a big, handsome coffee table book with six CDs as musical accompaniment. But when the subject is Hank Williams, the music can't be an afterthought - and it certainly isn't here. The discs in this lavish tome present all 144 tracks recorded by Williams for his 1951 radio show sponsored by the Mother's Best flour company. After gaining a considerable audience as part of the popular
