2025 marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of The Doors. Though the eponymous debut album from Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore didn't hit stores until January 1967, the foursome was already a seasoned one, having served as house band at the famed Whisky a Go Go since mid-1966. To celebrate 60 years since that fateful day when Manzarek met his old UCLA classmate Morrison on a California beach and the two decided to form a band, Rhino has announced a number of
A "Runaway" Hit: Bon Jovi Prep Physical Deluxe Edition of Debut Album
Earlier this year, UMe celebrated the 40th anniversary of Bon Jovi's debut album with an extras-packed digital deluxe edition. Just in time for Christmas, that set is getting a physical 2CD release. The self-titled effort from the New Jersey rockers sports nine extra tracks, including previously unreleased early versions of debut single "Runaway" and new mixes of previously released live material from the band's longtime engineer Obie O'Brien.

Back to 'Back to Bedlam': James Blunt Expands Brilliant Debut
Two decades ago, an earnest British singer-songwriter with a distinctive, keening voice had a hit that would, for better or worse, define the arc of his career as a musician. This month, James Blunt is gamely revisiting his debut album, Back to Bedlam, with a new deluxe edition and an outlandish promise of what he'll do if it's a chart success at home. Available on October 11, the remastered and expanded Bedlam will come with a bonus disc of demos of the entire album, plus four additional
Quadio Spotlight: Bette Midler, "The Divine Miss M" and Bread, "Baby I'm a Want-You"
Way back in Ye Olden Days of 2011, The Second Disc advocated for the release of the original quadraphonic mix of Bette Midler's 1973 debut, The Divine Miss M. Well, lo these many years later, Rhino has granted our wish, and it's been released on Blu-ray as part of the label's still-growing Quadio series of four-channel reissues. In Craig Anderson's stellar remaster, it's happily as good as we remember it! The 4.0 mix by Atlantic Records veteran Tom Dowd, a legendary producer in his own right,

Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision,
Can't Wait Till Tomorrow: Cherry Red Expands Sheena Easton's 'Do You'
With 1984's A Private Heaven, Sheena Easton successfully followed in the footsteps of Olivia Newton-John in shedding her "girl next door" persona - so much so that future U.S. Second Lady Tipper Gore's Parents Music Resource Center "honored" Sheena's Prince-penned "Sugar Walls" with a slot on its "Filthy Fifteen" list. No wonder Gore and co. were threatened by the success of "Sugar Walls;" A Private Heaven became the singer's most successful album to date. How to follow it up? Enter Nile
In Memoriam: Kris Kristofferson (1936-2024)
On a Sunday mornin' sidewalk/I'm wishin', Lord, that I was stoned/'Cause there's somethin' in a Sunday/That makes a body feel alone... With songs such as "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down," Kris Kristofferson expanded the vernacular of country music, bringing realism, gritty authenticity, and a literate sensibility - he was an Oxford-schooled Rhodes Scholar - to a genre already known for its unvarnished musical stories of pain and heartbreak. Kristofferson would find himself at the vanguard of
Wild and Crazy: Rhino Collects Steve Martin's Comedy Albums
There aren't many comedians funnier than Steve Martin. Though the gray-haired funnyman only spent the better part of a decade performing as a stand-up before pursuing acting, writing, and even bluegrass originals, Martin's brilliant blend of highbrow, lowbrow and absurdist humor made him one of the most head-turning entertainers of his generation. Rhino Records will celebrate his funniest sides with a new box set in November. Steve in a Box: The Warner Years (1977-1981) brings together all

The Jungle is Your Head: U2 Prep 'Atomic Bomb' Box

It's a Beautiful Day: Michael Bublé Collects Greatest Hits on "The Best of Bublé"

Pictures Came and Broke Your Heart: Cherry Red to Release Bruce Woolley and The Camera Club Collection
Everyone knows the story: at the stroke of midnight on August 1, 1981, the new cable station Music Television (MTV) first aired, playing a steady stream of heretofore little-seen "music videos" that redefined pop music for the rest of the decade. Their first, of course, was The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star": a prescient choice, though not even a single from the '80s (it topped the U.K. charts and dented the U.S. Top 40 in 1979!) - and, as a new collection from Cherry Red underlines, The
Crawling from the Wreckage: Omnivore Preps Double-Disc Collection of Dave Edmunds' Complete Swan Song Singles
From his very first solo hit in 1970 (a cover of Dave Bartholomew's "I Hear You Knocking") to his final album release (2015's On Guitar...Rags and Classics), Welsh guitarist-singer-songwriter-producer Dave Edmunds proselytized for the power of pure rock-and-roll. Whether stripping the sound down to basics or doing a spot-on emulation of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound, Edmunds emphasized the joy of the genre. In January 1972, he released his first solo album: Rockpile. Its title would augur
Needless to Say: Al Stewart's "Past, Present and Future" Goes Deluxe From Esoteric
