Duke Jupiter 1

DJ1 FrtCvr sq RGB

The fourth album from Rochester, New York rockers Duke Jupiter premieres on CD from Iconoclassic Records. The 1982 album's title was possibly a reference to a hard reset the group had done after spending the late '70s as a larger, occasionally horn-suffused combo on Mercury Records. Duke Jupiter 1 found the group paring down to original members Marshall Styler (vocals/keyboards) and Greg Walker (vocals/guitar) and new additions Rick Ellis on bass (original bassist George Barajas played on parts

Andrew Gold Greetings from Planet Love

Greetings from Planet Love!  So was titled the one and only album from The Fraternal Order of "The All."  Who was The All?  It turns out The All was rock-and-roll's favorite one-man band, the late Andrew Gold (1951-2011).  In 1997, the singer-songwriter behind "Lonely Boy" and "Thank You for Being a Friend" - also a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and arranger who supported such friends as Linda Ronstadt and Art Garfunkel over the years - released this pseudonymous celebration of the

On August 23, 1967, Reprise Records would issue The Jimi Hendrix Experience's debut album, Are You Experienced, in North America.  U.K. audiences had been hipped to the incendiary group consisting of Hendrix, drummer Mitch Mitchell, and bassist Noel Redding a couple of months earlier, when the album (with a unique track listing) arrived on the Track Records label.  Five days before that auspicious U.S. record debut, on August 18, the trio took the stage of the Hollywood Bowl in front of a

Bruce Hornsby has made a career out of defying expectations. This fall, one of his most eclectic albums of a less commercial period - the late '90s - will be expanded and revisited for its 25th anniversary: 1998's Spirit Trail. The lengthy double album will feature four outtakes from a "lost" full-band follow-up to Spirit Trail that was abandoned in favor of 2002's Big Swing Face, a more electronic effort backed by his then-new band The Noisemakers.

But if you're an anglophile in search of an education, Cherry Red's got you covered with a generous new 5CD collection.
