Review: Stealers Wheel on Vinyl: "Stealers Wheel" and "Ferguslie Park"
Intervention Records launched in 2015 with a simple mission statement: "To provide archive-quality LPs of music we love," with the goal that "each record we do must be the single definitive, final version of that album, the one real music lovers will seek out." Happily, the label's early releases have all more than lived up to those lofty goals! The first two albums from Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan's Stealers Wheel might not have been the most expected titles for vinyl reissue in 2016, but

On April 8, this slice of summery surf rock with a gleefully ghoulish slant will return to vinyl from Concord Records in a special translucent, slime-green pressing! It's Monster Surfing Time has

Slip Away: Ace Reissues, Expands Two Albums From Soul Legend Clarence Carter
As 2000 ushered in a new millennium, it also reintroduced the soulful voice of Clarence Carter on Cameron Crowe's Grammy-winning soundtrack to Almost Famous. Being the sole (pun intended) R&B gem on this compilation, Crowe embedded Carter's hit song, "Slip Away" into what is otherwise his definitive 1970s classic rock retrospective. This is not to say that Carter is the only R&B artist found in the film proper. On the contrary, Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour" was masterfully used
