Review: Emitt Rhodes, "Rainbow Ends"
A new Emitt Rhodes album. That's right, say it again - a new Emitt Rhodes album. With the release of Rainbow Ends, Omnivore Recordings has delivered on what has long been thought an impossibility. The cult tunesmith and multi-instrumentalist earned his stripes as a member of The Palace Guard and then the harmony-soaked LA band The Merry-Go-Round ("You're a Very Lovely Woman," "Live") before recording four beautiful solo albums for A&M and ABC/Dunhill. His last full-length LP, Farewell

Intrada Declares War on Records with "Titans," "Rocky" LPs
It seems like no one's safe from the vinyl bug--not even soundtrack giant Intrada, who this week announced vinyl versions of two of their best action scores: Laurence Rosenthal'sClash of the Titans and Vince DiCola's Rocky IV. Desmond Davis' Greek myth epic Clash of the Titans was part Hollywood throwback, part modern action film for 1981. Harry Hamlin, as Perseus (the son of the god Zeus, as portrayed by Laurence Olivier), fights a brilliant array of monsters created by stop-motion animation
From Memphis To New Orleans: Ace Collects Stax, DeLuxe Rarities
Bring on the B-sides! Despite its title, the massive, indispensable box set The Complete Stax/Volt Singles 1964-1968 concentrated on A-sides, presenting only a fraction of the labels' valuable flips. The box left many worthy B-sides overlooked in the CD era, but Ace Records' Kent imprint has redressed that situation with the release of The Other Side of the Trax: Stax-Volt 45 RPM Rarities 1964-1968. All but one of the 24 tracks on this new compilation are all making their official CD

Moments in Time preserves nine performances from Getz's core sets, while its companion is even more special. Getz/Gilberto '76 is a new entry to the small but

Special Shout-Out to This Year's Reissue Grammy Winners; Legacy Leads Catalogue Pack
The 58th Annual Grammy awards were held a little over a week ago and there were numerous winners. The Grammys have so many categories that the majority are not given out on the actual television broadcast. Even though we're a little late, we'd like to give acknowledgment to the winners from reissue and catalogue labels who picked up an award, some for categories that aren't always exclusively associated with reissues. The biggest winner of the night for reissue labels was Sony's Legacy

Love Is: Robinsongs Reissues A Quiet Storm Pair from Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly
Frankie Beverly began his recording career in his native Philadelphia, but it wasn't until he took his band Raw Soul to San Francisco that the group began to pick up steam. With the support of Marvin Gaye, Raw Soul became Maze, one of the biggest proponents of the "quiet storm" sound. Late last year, Cherry Red's Robinsongs label reissued the final two albums by Maze featuring Frankie Beverly - Silky Soul and Back to Basics - as one 2-CD set with bonus tracks. Gaye reportedly came up with
