Tina Turner's Foreign Affair is about to get a lot bigger. The stature certainly befits the artist who was recently voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo performer; her Broadway musical Tina is scheduled to resume performances on October 8 and the HBO documentary of the same name is currently streaming. On July 16, Rhino and Parlophone will revisit Turner's 1989 album in a variety of formats including a 4CD/DVD Super Deluxe Edition and 2CD and 2LP Deluxe Editions. Tina's

Dance Tunes for The Underdog: Omnivore Remembers Mumps, "American Family" Icon Lance Loud with New Anthology
Before The Real Housewives, The Osbournes, and The Real World, there was An American Family. The twelve-part 1973 PBS documentary series chronicled the day-to-day life of the Loud family of Santa Barbara, California. It's now considered a prototype for modern-day reality television: its 300-plus hours of filming yielded footage of Pat Loud breaking up with her husband Bill after 21 years of marriage and of their son Lance's coming out as gay. Lance was the breakout star of the program, and
The CBS Tapes
Yep Roc Records has unearthed a piece of history from Berkeley, California's power-pop heroes The Rubinoos. On November 3, 1976, co-founders Jon Rubin (vocals) and Tommy Dunbar (guitar) entered CBS Studios in San Francisco with drummer Donn Spindt and bassist Royse Ader to get a feel for the studio prior to the recording of their first album. Now, that session is being released as The CBS Tapes with 11 tracks encompassing both covers and originals in energetic Rubinoos style.

2CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada 2LP: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada Off the Soundboard: Tokyo 2001, available in 2-CD or 3-LP formats, presents KISS' performance at the Tokyo Dome on March 13, 2001 with the line-up of Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, and Eric Singer. The 21 songs on the release don't hint at the backstage drama that was then consuming the band on their farewell tour. Long story short: it wasn't farewell after all, but did prove to be a
Old Friend: The Deluxe Collection 1976-1998

Paul McCartney, John Lennon, The Beach Boys, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, and More Feature on "1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything" Soundtrack
David Hepworth's 2017 book Never a Dull Moment: The Year That Rock Exploded set forth the author's belief that the year crystallized the "rock era," producing more enduring recordings than any other year in the genre's history. It's difficult to argue with any year that yielded John Lennon's Imagine, The Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers, Carole King's Tapestry, Joni Mitchell's Blue, Elton John's Madman Across the Water, Carly Simon's Anticipation, Sly and the Family Stone's There's a Riot Goin'

Invitation to Jamaica: Landmark Anthology "The Trojan Story" Sees 50th Anniversary Reissue
Since 1968, Trojan Records has been synonymous with the reggae, rocksteady, dub, and ska genres. The U.K. label founded by Lee Gopthal and Island Records' Chris Blackwell was instrumental in spreading those Jamaican sounds throughout the world and popularizing such key artists as Jimmy Cliff, Desmond Dekker, Lee "Scratch" Perry, and The Maytals. By 1971, Trojan - with its focus on 45 RPM singles - had amassed enough hit records to release a label anthology. On June 18, that seminal release,

Lookin' Back: Capitol, UMe Reissue, Remaster Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band's "Live Bullet"
Bob Seger catapulted to national stardom in October 1976 with the multi-platinum LP Night Moves, after a string of regional hits in the Detroit area and throughout the Midwest. Just before that commercial breakthrough, Seger and his Silver Bullet Band were captured in their live prime at Detroit's Cobo Hall for the 2-LP set Live Bullet.

Rhythm of the New-Born Day: Cherry Red Revisits, Expands Al Stewart's "Year of the Cat"
Surely one of the most unlikely hits of 1976-77 was Al Stewart's "Year of the Cat." An atmospheric tale of romance in a faraway place with Casablanca name-checks of Humphrey Bogart and Peter Lorre, the song propelled the British singer-songwriter to the top of the pops: No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 (and even higher, No. 4, in Cash Box) and No. 8 AC as well as No. 31 in the U.K., his only chart appearance there. Following its expanded reissue late last year of Stewart's 24 Carrots, Cherry

Thirty years later, President Barack Obama, the first African-American to hold the nation's highest office, commemorated the designation. He noted that the rich legacy of black music had encouraged citizens "to dance, to express our faith through song, to march against injustice, and to defend our country's enduring promise of freedom and opportunity for all."
