Doug Sahm was of course a part of the Sir Douglas Quintet in the 1960s and Jerry Wexler brought him to Atlantic in 1973. Sahm's first album there, Doug Sahm and Band, was a star-studded affair featuring guests like Dr. John, David Bromberg, Flaco Jimenez and, most notably, Bob Dylan. This new gold vinyl edition of Sahm's only charting album is limited to ,000 copies.

Dick's Picks Vol. 2: Columbus, OH - 10/31/71
The only single-disc release in Grateful Dead's Dick's Picks series is reissued by Real Gone. This crackling concert features a transcendent "Dark Star" as well as a spirited "Sugar Magnolia," a rare, early-'70s performance of "St. Stephen" (the final live version until 1976) and a great "Not Fade Away"/"Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad" closer to round out the 59-minute program.
VI
Real Gone has one from hardcore punk band The Circle Jerks: their 1987 albumVI, which was actually the Jerks' fifth effort. This album includes a song that was featured in the film Sid and Nancy. The Circle Jerks, founded in 1979, had a rather tumultuous history and disbanded in 1990. They got back together in 1994 and released one more album in 1995, which is their final release to date. Liner notes, lyrics and memorabilia images round out RGM's newly-remastered reissue.
The Complete Jessup Recordings Plus!
Ralph Stanley and his brother Carter formed the Clinch Mountain Boys in 1946 and became big names in the bluegrass scene. When Carter passed away in 1966, Ralph pressed on with the act and were joined around four years later by future country and bluegrass stars Ricky Skaggs and Keith Whitley due to a chance encounter. The pair joined the Clinch Mountain Boys for three albums on the Jessup label, all of which are collected on the 2-CD, 34 track Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys
John David Souther (Expanded Edition)

Souther was joined by an all-star cast including Glenn Frey, Ned Doheny and John Barbata for the album which will be expanded by Omnivore with seven previously unissued bonus tracks including demos of "How Long" and "Run Like a Thief," covered by Bonnie Raitt.

Here Comes The Sun! Beatles Catalogue to Stream Worldwide
While some Beatlemaniacs will be eagerly anticipating the newly revised 1+ compilation under the tree, with remixed audio and hours of rare video performances, The Fab Four have one more present to give the world: starting December 24, the band's bestselling catalogue will be available for streaming across nine major services. The Beatles' entry into the digital landscape is, like so many events befitting the most popular rock band of all time, often an event unto itself. In 2010, a year
Three Cheers and Dammit, C'est La Vie: Elaine Paige Celebrates 50 Years on "I'm Still Here"
Each evening from the first preview on August 7, 2011 to the closing performance on January 22, 2012, audiences at Broadway's Marquis Theatre were treated to the sight of one of the First Ladies of the London stage making a rare appearance across the Atlantic belting one of Stephen Sondheim's most famous songs. The show was Follies, the star was Elaine Paige, and the song was "I'm Still Here." Now, that anthem of showbiz survival provides the title for the superstar actress-singer's new live

Won't You Dance With Me: Real Gone Goes Country with Barbara Mandrell, Ralph Stanley, Marty Robbins and Doug Sahm with Bob Dylan and Others
Real Gone is in a country mood this February, with the majority of their slate devoted to the country and western genre. But that is not all you will find on the label's mix of CDs and vinyl for the month.

Along Comes "1966": Ace Anthology Features The Supremes, The Who, Velvet Underground, Bowie, More
Was 1966 the greatest year ever in popular music? The case could certainly be made for its significance - and Jon Savage has done just that in his new book 1966: The Year the Decade Exploded. Savage's book looks at the events and culture of the year in twelve essays, each one built around one 45 RPM record. Naturally, such a book deserves a soundtrack, and Ace Records has seen to it that it receives one with the companion volume of the same name. Jon Savage's 1966: The Year the Decade
Lose That Long Face: "Judy Garland Sings Harold Arlen" Premieres New-to-CD Tracks, Unearths Lost Recording
Whether imploring those around her to "Get Happy" or dreaming of a place "Over the Rainbow," Judy Garland gave some of the most immortal performances of her career (and indeed, of the whole of popular music as well as film) with the songs of Harold Arlen. In Arlen's sophisticated yet blues-based melodies, Garland found the perfect expressions in which to bare her soul, alternately with vulnerability, tenderness, desperation and joy. Now, JSP Records, the label which has recently released such
Review: Fleetwood Mac, "Tusk: Deluxe Edition"
Can an album that sold four million copies be fairly called a cult classic? If the answer is yes, that album would certainly be Fleetwood Mac's Tusk. One of the most willfully unconventional albums ever made, the follow-up to Rumours nonetheless went multi-platinum. Nobody expected the band that had already morphed from blues-rock to the epitome of California pop-rock (and everything in between) to defiantly go the "art-rock" route, yet that's precisely what Mick Fleetwood, John McVie,
Fun, Fun, Fun: Two Unreleased Beach Boys Concerts from 1965 Released from the Vaults
Over the past several years since copyright laws were changed in the EU, it has become a tradition at the end of the year for record labels to release "copyright extension" releases featuring unreleased material from their biggest artists to protect their interests in said material. Hot off the heels of a compilation of Motown unreleased material from 1965 comes another release in this vein from a group who has made this a yearly tradition: The Beach Boys. This last Friday, Capitol put up
Dance Yeah Dance: "Motown Unreleased 1965" Premieres Songs By Stevie Wonder, Spinners, Four Tops, Smokey Robinson
1965 was a key year for The Sound of Young America. In a tumultuous twelve-month period which saw the Selma to Montgomery marches, the United States' escalation of military forces in South Vietnam, and the assassination of Malcolm X, the music of Motown was a cultural touchstone that spread unifying messages of love and togetherness. Berry Gordy's label scored five Pop chart-toppers in 1965: The Supremes' "Stop! In the Name of Love," "Back in My Arms Again" and "I Hear a Symphony," The
Couldn't I Just Tell You: Todd Rundgren and Utopia Concert From 1978 Arrives On CD
With unauthorized live releases proliferating in the E.U. drawn from radio broadcasts of variable quality, it's refreshing to see Cherry Red's Esoteric Recordings imprint continue its Todd Rundgren Archive Series featuring concert performances in excellent sound. The latest such release, Live at the Old Waldorf, is drawn from Rundgren and Utopia's Saturday, August 5, 1978 concert at the San Francisco venue. Recorded for KSAN-FM, this release has been remastered from the original ¼-inch stereo
