Varese Vintage brings the 1980 Planet Records debut of power-pop band The Cretones to CD. Though The Cretones were overshadowed at the time by Linda Ronstadt's having covered three of their songs on her new wave-influenced Mad Love album, this reissue gives the four-person group headed by Mark Goldenberg and Peter Bernstein a chance to shine. This remastered edition boasts three previously unreleased bonus tracks: "Mood Vertigo," "Quit It," and "Taking the World with Kisses."
Peace Trail
Peace Trail introduces ten new, primarily acoustic songs from the always-prolific Neil Young. The album, available on CD, DD and LP, was recorded at Rick Rubin's Shangri-la Studios and features Young on vocals and guitar, Jim Keltner on drums, and Paul Bushnell on bass. It was produced by Young and John Hanlon.
That Same Old Feeling: RPM Collects Pickettywitch, Polly Brown On New Anthology
If Pickettywitch is remembered today, it's for "That Same Old Feeling" - the 1970 single penned by the hitmaking team of Tony Macaulay and John MacLeod that reached No. 5 on the U.K. Pop chart. Yet that tune was far from the only slice of upbeat, light and cheerful pop recorded by the Polly Brown-fronted group. Cherry Red's RPM imprint has recently collected the recordings of Pickettywitch along with a solo LP from Polly, plus Polly and Tony Jackson's album as Sweet Dreams, on a new set. That
Never Say Goodbye: Bon Jovi Vinyl Box Planned
More than 30 years after their debut, New Jersey's Bon Jovi are still going strong, and to commemorate that strength, they're releasing a heavy-hitting vinyl box set next year. The Albums includes all 14 of the group's studio efforts, from 1984's blistering-glam self-titled debut to the just-released This House is Not for Sale, the first original album without longtime guitarist Richie Sambora. Eleven of these albums have hit the Billboard Top 10 since 1986's chart-topping breakthrough
Good Time Music: Cherry Red Reissues Two From Ronnie James Dio's Elf
"We played it hot, hard and heavy at the Carolina County ball/And we sang 'Ooooo'/On a boogie-woogie Friday night..." Ronnie James Dio's early band Elf played it hot, hard and (pretty) heavy throughout its relatively short lifespan. Elf released three studio albums between 1972 and 1975 before going to superstardom with Rainbow (the core of which was actually built from Elf), Black Sabbath, and Dio. Last year, Cherry Red released a reissue of 1972's debut Elf; now, the label has turned its
Double-O-Love: SoulMusic, Cherry Red Reissue Dan Hartman's "Instant Replay"
It's Instant Replay for Cherry Red's SoulMusic Records imprint with the recent reissue of Dan Hartman's 1978 disco classic of the same name. The album featuring the Disco chart-topper has been expanded with four bonus singles for this new edition. It's difficult to pigeonhole Dan Hartman. The late musician-songwriter-producer-artist had begun his musical career as a member of psychedelic rock outfit The Legends before backing Johnny Winter and then, crucially, Johnny's brother Edgar. As a

As Difford, Tilbrook, bassist John Bentley (with the group from 1980 to 1982) and

Sundazed Music has announced a trio of limited edition releases for Black Friday's Record Store Day event, and they're sure to be a crate-digger's delight.

In Memoriam: Leon Russell (1942-2016)
News came earlier today of the passing of Leon Russell, 74. A true renaissance man and an extraordinary talent as composer, musician, arranger, producer, and artist, The Master of Space and Time led many lives. With each one, his music touched a new audience: as a Wrecking Crew multi-instrumentalist who contributed to innumerable classic recordings; as a pop arranger for Gary Lewis and the Playboys and others; as leader of Joe Cocker's raucous band; as composer of songs that will last forever,

In Memoriam: Leonard Cohen (1934-2016)
Leonard Cohen, one of the most distinctive troubadours to arrive on the musical scene in the 1960s, passed away today at the age of 82. An uncompromising talent who mordantly titled his most recent album (released just weeks ago) You Want It Darker, Cohen continued to create, inspire, and provoke until his final days. His gifts of song and art, always infused with boldness, a deep spirituality and a keen observer's eye, will always resonate with truth, honesty, power and passion. In tribute
