Here Comes the Sun: Beatles' "Abbey Road" Turns 50 with Multi-Format Reissues
Once there was a way to get back home... It was fifty years ago today that The Beatles were photographed on the zebra crossing outside EMI's Abbey Road studios.

Review: Isaac Hayes, "Shaft: Deluxe Edition"
When the latest sequel/reboot of Shaft hit screens this past June, one essential element was missing: the music of Isaac Hayes. While the late composer-artist's seminal "Theme from Shaft" was referenced in Christopher Lennertz's score, Hayes' commanding voice was nowhere to be found - some said to the detriment of the film. While the new Shaft underperformed in theatres, it had at least one happy byproduct as Craft Recordings revisited the classic original 1971 film soundtrack with a new
