Always: Cherry Red, SoulMusic Release Expanded Album Box for Atlantic Starr
By the time Atlantic Starr signed to the Warner Bros. family of labels, the R&B group had already begun its ascent to crossover stardom. At Warner, the band recorded its biggest album to date - 1987's All In the Name of Love - and scored its biggest hit, "Always." Now, All In the Name of Love and the two albums which followed it have been reissued by Cherry Red's SoulMusic Records imprint in a compact new 3-CD box set appropriately entitled Always: The Warner/Reprise Recordings
A Nickel and a Nail and Ace of Spades
Oft-sampled soul-blues singer O.V. Wright's 1972 southern soul classic, featuring The Hi Records Rhythm Section, The Memphis Horns, and production by Willie Mitchell, was packaged much like a bootleg (complete with typos). That didn't stop it from earning cult status and fetching high coin on the secondary market. It's been out-of-print on vinyl since the 1980s; the last CD edition was released in 2010 and also commands top dollar. The LP features the R&B chart hits "Eight Men, Four
The Complete Stax Singles Vol. 2 (1968-1974)
CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada 2LP: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada The Complete Stax Singles Vol. 2 (1968-1974) picks up the story of Booker T.

This second volume features the band's final 20 Stax single sides, all in their original single versions - the first 15 in
Trees of the Ages: Live in Japan

It's now back in a newly remastered edition from Omnivore Recordings. The album comprises 16 tracks recorded at Kintetsu Hall in 1994 as well as five additional tracks recorded at On Air West.

Sure Thing: Light in the Attic Preps "Country Funk Vol. 3" with Dolly Parton, Ronnie Milsap, Jerry Reed, Eddie Rabbitt, More
Over seven years after the last volume, Light in the Attic has announced a third entry in the label's Country Funk series. Country Funk Volume III (1975-1982) continues the story begun on the first two volumes which collectively covered the period of 1967-1975.

The Weekend Stream: July 10, 2021
While The Second Disc prides itself on connecting people to reissues and box sets they can keep on their shelves, it's no secret that listening audiences are also digital - catalogue music lovers, too - and our passion is connecting people to music from the past that they might adore. So we've introduced a new feature: The Weekend Stream, which focuses on hidden gems that recently made it to digital channels that might make your playlists a little brighter!

Straight to the Top: Southside Johnny Reissues Tom Waits Tribute "Grapefruit Moon"
At first glance, Southside Johnny Lyon and Tom Waits might seem at disparate ends of the musical spectrum. New Jersey native Lyon is a progenitor of the Jersey Shore sound with its brassy, party-time fusion of rock & roll and rhythm & blues. California's Waits came into prominence during that state's singer-songwriter boom, touching on folk before settling into a piano-based, jazz-influenced sound that he would ultimately jettison in favor of a more experimental and avant-garde

To Groove You: Cherry Red's Robinsongs Boxes Kleeer's Atlantic Albums
Richard Lee (guitar), Norman Durham (bass), Paul Crutchfield (percussion/keyboards) and Woody Cunningham (lead vocals/drums) united in 1972 as The Choice 4 before evolving into The Jam Band, Pipeline and, under the aegis of Patrick Adams and Greg Carmichael, The Universal Robot Band. After flirting with R&B, funk, disco and even straight-ahead rock, the quartet settled as Kleeer and signed to Atlantic Records. Between 1979 and 1985, Kleeer released seven albums on Atlantic, proving worthy

Short Takes: Amy Grant Expands "Heart in Motion;" Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, More Guest on Charlie Daniels' Posthumous "Duets"
In March 1991, Amy Grant released her ninth studio album, Heart in Motion. By that time, Grant was already a well-established superstar in the realm of CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) who had made significant inroads in mainstream pop. 1985's Unguarded - her first album to be distributed by A&M Records to secular retailers - yielded a top 30 Pop hit with "Find a Way." The very next year, she found herself atop the Hot 100 with the Peter Cetera duet "The Next Time I Fall." Heart in

Sweet Emotion: Donna Summer's "I'm a Rainbow: Remixed and Recoloured" Coming from Driven by the Music
When Donna Summer joined Geffen Records in 1980 after roughly five years on Casablanca, she brought along Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, the producers of her era-defining hits such as "I Feel Love," "Hot Stuff," and "Dim All the Lights." The trio was off to an auspicious start at Geffen with the release of The Wanderer, and planned to follow it up with an album entitled I'm a Rainbow. Yet weeks before a scheduled October 5, 1981 release date, David Geffen opted to shelve the album.
It's a Dead Man's Party: Rubellan Plans CD, Vinyl Reissues for Oingo Boingo
Halloween's coming a little early this year, thanks to Rubellan Remasters. The label is licensing expanded editions of the first four Oingo Boingo albums from Universal Music Group for release this September. The mind-bending ska/New Wave group from Los Angeles, formed from an experimental theater troupe that appeared on The Gong Show, was led by a charismatic frontman named Danny Elfman. Boingo's nervous energy, horn-infused rock and lyrics that thumbed the noses of polite society made for

Released in September 1992, Back to the Light was the guitarist's mission statement after the fate of his longtime band seemed uncertain. On August 6, Back to the Light will be reissued by UMe in CD, LP, and digital formats as the inaugural release in The Brian May Gold Series. Expanded editions will include the bonus collection Out of the Light, a second disc of rare
Live at the Troubadour
Glen Campbell's final recorded concert, from the Sunset Strip's famed Troubadour on August 19, 2008 - three years before he launched his Goodbye Tour during a well-publicized battle with Alzheimer's - was preserved for a PBS Front and Center broadcast. Now, Surfdog is bringing the show to CD, vinyl, and digital formats. The concert features Campbell and his band tearing through such classics as "Wichita Lineman," "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," "Gentle on My Mind," "Galveston," and "Rhinestone
Don't Think Twice: Johnny Cash's 1968 Carousel Ballroom Concert Comes to CD, LP from Bear's Sonic Journals

The series has encompassed releases by The Allman Brothers Band, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Tim Buckley, and others; now, it's turning its attention to an artist from a very different tradition who nonetheless found a place within the counterculture.
