Savaloy Dip
Alan Price's 1974 Warner Bros. album Savaloy Dip came and went in the blink of an eye (on a recalled eight-track!) before disappearing for what might have been forever...but Omnivore Recordings has come to the rescue with the first-ever reissue of this 11-song lost record from the Animals founder/keyboardist!

Cherry Red's él imprint has a trio of recent releases continuing its commitment to truly eclectic sounds of the pre-1964 era. Two of these are musical odes to the big city life of London and New York, from arrangers Wally Stott and Bobby Scott, respectively; the third reissues and expands a compilation from the late Rod McKuen.

Reads His Poetry
Charles Bukowski: Reads His Poetry captures the notorious author and libertine at a 1972 reading at which the topics included perversion, poverty, drunkenness, gambling and bodily functions.

Doug Sahm was of course a part of the Sir Douglas Quintet in the 1960s and Jerry Wexler brought him to Atlantic in 1973.

This crackling concert features a transcendent "Dark Star" as well as a spirited "Sugar Magnolia," a rare, early-'70s performance of "St. Stephen" (the final live version until 1976) and a great "Not Fade Away"/"Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad" closer to round out the 59-minute program.
VI
Real Gone has one from hardcore punk band The Circle Jerks: their 1987 albumVI, which was actually the Jerks' fifth effort. This album includes a song that was featured in the film Sid and Nancy. The Circle Jerks, founded in 1979, had a rather tumultuous history and disbanded in 1990. They got back together in 1994 and released one more album in 1995, which is their final release to date. Liner notes, lyrics and memorabilia images round out RGM's newly-remastered reissue.
You and I

Santa Claus is Comin' To Town: Bruce Springsteen Gifts Free Unreleased Concert Tracks from 1980 Tempe, Arizona Show to Fans as Addition to Box Set
Bruce Springsteen is giving a Christmas gift to his fans. Earlier this month, Springsteen released The Ties That Bind: The River Collection box set which contained The River, an alternate version of the album and disc of outtakes. Also included in the box set was a filmed concert from Tempe, Arizona, recorded on November 5, 1980. However, not all of the concert was filmed, so the complete show was not in the box set. Fortunately, the entire audio from the concert was preserved. Now,

Three Cheers and Dammit, C'est La Vie: Elaine Paige Celebrates 50 Years on "I'm Still Here"
Each evening from the first preview on August 7, 2011 to the closing performance on January 22, 2012, audiences at Broadway's Marquis Theatre were treated to the sight of one of the First Ladies of the London stage making a rare appearance across the Atlantic belting one of Stephen Sondheim's most famous songs. The show was Follies, the star was Elaine Paige, and the song was "I'm Still Here." Now, that anthem of showbiz survival provides the title for the superstar actress-singer's new live

Lose That Long Face: "Judy Garland Sings Harold Arlen" Premieres New-to-CD Tracks, Unearths Lost Recording
Whether imploring those around her to "Get Happy" or dreaming of a place "Over the Rainbow," Judy Garland gave some of the most immortal performances of her career (and indeed, of the whole of popular music as well as film) with the songs of Harold Arlen. In Arlen's sophisticated yet blues-based melodies, Garland found the perfect expressions in which to bare her soul, alternately with vulnerability, tenderness, desperation and joy. Now, JSP Records, the label which has recently released such
Review: Fleetwood Mac, "Tusk: Deluxe Edition"
Can an album that sold four million copies be fairly called a cult classic? If the answer is yes, that album would certainly be Fleetwood Mac's Tusk. One of the most willfully unconventional albums ever made, the follow-up to Rumours nonetheless went multi-platinum.
