Cherry Red's El Label Celebrates Burt Bacharach, Leonard Bernstein on New Box Sets
In recent months, Cherry Red's El imprint has turned its attention to a pair of legendary American composers. Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) and Burt Bacharach (1928-2023) were born just a decade apart, though Bacharach lived more than three decades longer than Bernstein. Neither man was born in New York City, but both created much of their remarkable work there. Both were proud Jewish Americans, and both wrote for the musical theatre. An American in New York: Leonard Bernstein - The City
Review: Elvis Presley, "Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite: 50th Anniversary Edition"
When Elvis Presley said Aloha from Hawaii 50 years ago, the whole world was watching - or close to it. The King, fashionably late, stepped onstage at Honolulu's International Center (capacity at the time: roughly 6,000) at 1:00 a.m. on January 14, 1973 for a scheduled 12:30 a.m. concert. Satellites were beaming the program to a reported audience of over one billion. Another fanciful claim by Colonel Parker? Perhaps. But Aloha was a technological achievement. It was the most expensive
Soundtrack Watch: 'The Lost World' and 'Body Snatchers,' Expanded, a Double Dose of Horner and More
The last few weekends have seen moviegoers pouring back into theaters thanks to the head-to-head blockbusters Barbie and Oppenheimer. Their dual openings made for one of the highest-grossing non-holiday weekends ever, and the talents of Greta Gerwig (co-writer/director of the zingy comedy based on the popular doll) and Christopher Nolan (writer/director of the epic biopic about the man who spearheaded America's creation of the atomic bomb) have already netted a cumulative $1 billion at the box
Right Now: Van Halen's Second Phase Gets Remastered for New Box Set

OUT TOMORROW! Real Gone, Second Disc Expose Pool-Pah and Rupert Holmes' Psych-Rock Rarity "The Flasher"
1973: the sexual revolution was on, streaking was taking college campuses by storm, and Deep Throat was edging pornography ever closer to the mainstream. Against this backdrop, a talented New York band with the unlikely moniker of Pool-Pah teamed up with up-and-coming singer-songwriter, musician, and arranger Rupert Holmes to write and record an unforgettably far-out soundtrack blending rock, psychedelia, jazz, prog, pop, and electronica. It had to be heard to be believed...and far too few

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
La-La Land Scares Up 'Munsters' Music, Ryuichi Sakamoto Score
La-La Land's latest batch of archival soundtracks celebrate a prolific television composer of the '60s and an orchestral film score from recently deceased pioneer of electronic music. In the first season of Netflix's cult sketch comedy series I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, an oafish party guest (played with boorish perfection by Tim Heidecker) aggravates some new friends during a game in which people try to guess famous names out of a hat; all of his selections are mostly made-up
