2020 has been a bit of a rollercoaster and Record Store Day 2020 is no exception: once scheduled in April, it moved forward a few months, and is now spread out across three Saturdays in the summer and fall. The Record Store Day Drop in August proved a success and round two, set for tomorrow, September 26, is sure to please fans of all genres and eras. It's a diverse list full of exciting releases that you can only find through your local brick-and-mortar record store (or through their online
They'll Take You There: Craft Recordings Releases Staple Singers' "Come Go with Me: The Stax Collection" on CD
Earlier this year, Craft Recordings released The Staple Singers' Come Go with Me: The Stax Collection in vinyl and digital editions. The set compiled all of The Staple Singers' 1968-1974 albums for the Stax label plus a volume of rarities, non-LP single sides, and live recordings. On November 13, that box will come to CD as remastered from the original analog tapes by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl. Come Go with Me: The Stax Collection features the following original studio albums: Soul
Almost Hear You Sigh: Record Store Day U.K. Announces New Releases, Spotlight on The Yardbirds' "Roger the Engineer"
Tomorrow marks Record Store Day Drop 2. Recently, RSD U.K. announced 23 additions to their drop lists for September and October. While we know for sure that The Rolling Stones' upcoming Steel Wheels Live 10" picture disc will be a worldwide release, it's unclear at the time of writing whether all of the other releases will be distributed across the pond. Still, with so many retailers taking their business online given the COVID-19 pandemic, it's altogether possible that customers in the
Release Round-Up: Week of September 25
Welcome to this week's Release Round-Up! Diana Ross & The Supremes, Sing and Perform Funny Girl (Second Disc/Real Gone Music) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada / Real Gone Music) Real Gone Music and Second Disc Records debut Diana Ross & The Supremes Sing and Perform "Funny Girl": The Ultimate Edition, a deluxe 2-CD celebration of the classic 1968 Motown-meets-Broadway gem.

OUT TOMORROW! Diana Ross and The Supremes' "Funny Girl: The Ultimate Edition" Arrives from Second Disc, Real Gone
Tomorrow's the day! Second Disc Records and Real Gone Music are proud to present the worldwide CD premiere of Diana Ross and The Supremes' Sing and Perform "Funny Girl": The Ultimate Edition. Let us take you back in time to 1968, when nobody - no, nobody was gonna rain on their parade. With new member Cindy Birdsong joining Miss Ross and Mary Wilson, the group released no fewer than five albums that year, all of which showcased their extraordinary versatility. One of those LPs was to be
A Merry "Hee Haw" Christmas
Ready for Christmas, Bakersfield-style? Omnivore Recordings has dusted off and freshened up Buck Owens and His Buckaroos' 1970 double-album of Christmas favorites. Whereas that set dropped four tracks from Buck's two Capitol Christmas platters, Omnivore's new CD reinstates them - plus two rare Toys for Tots PSAs - for a complete survey of Buck's Capitol Christmas recordings. Everything has been remastered from the original analog master tapes by Michael Graves. Available on CD and digitally.
Review: The Rolling Stones' "Goats Head Soup 2020" Box Set Is Sure To Satisfy Your Hunger
Goats Head Soup: as far as Rolling Stones albums go, it's an outlier. It's not a "landmark album" in the same way as Sticky Fingers, it didn't defy expectations in the same way as Exile. It didn't herald a new sound like Beggars Banquet or Let It Bleed. Now, that's not to say it's not a great album, but it just feels...different. After the one-two-three-four punches of Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and the magnum opus Exile on Main Street, it makes sense that fans had long
Short Takes, Christmas Edition: Collections Coming from Peggy Lee and Buck Owens
This Friday, Capitol Records and UMe will release Peggy Lee's Ultimate Christmas on CD and vinyl as part of the Peggy Lee 100 celebration. This yuletide follow-up to Ultimate Peggy Lee brings together 22 holiday favorites from the late artist including selections from her Capitol albums Christmas Carousel (1960) and Happy Holiday (1965) - the latter an anthology of old and new material - as well as Decca and Capitol single releases and more. Ultimate Christmas includes a number of songs
Soundtrack Watch: September Slates for Varese, La-La Land, Intrada
September was an unusually bountiful month for archival soundtracks, and we're here to break it all down. Varese Goes West, Revisits Buddy Holly The latest title in Varese Sarabande's CD Club was an expansion of Elmer Bernstein's heroic score to the 1999 blockbuster Wild Wild West. Though the film somewhat infamously broke co-star Will Smith's ironclad grip on the July 4 weekend box office after star turns in Independence Day (1996) and Men In Black (1997), the weird cult charm of this
Here Comes My Baby: Cherry Red Collects The Tremeloes' "Complete CBS Recordings"
When they signed to CBS Records in 1966, The Tremeloes were seeking a second act. Founded as a beat group in 1958, the Dagenham band fronted by Brian Poole scored numerous hits on the U.K. Singles Chart including covers of "Twist and Shout," "Candy Man," "I Want Candy," and "Do You Love Me," the latter of which reached No. 1. But when Poole left the group that bore his name in 1966, his bandmates found themselves at a crossroads. Yet they pressed onward, and a move from Decca to CBS yielded
Here We Go In The Years: Neil Young Unveils Track Listing for "Archives, Volume 2: 1972-1976"
It's been a long time since Neil Young released his last Archives box set. In the intervening 11 years since Neil released Archives, Volume 1: 1963-1972, fans have endlessly speculated what might be on Volume 2 - or if it might happen at all. Well, it's happening. And although Neil has yet to unveil all the details, he has now announced the complete track listing for Archives, Volume 2: 1972-1976. The 10-CD set will be released on November 20 exclusively through his Neil Young Archives
Review: Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets "Live At The Roundhouse" Takes Audiences Back In Time
It's been said that music is the closest thing we have to time travel. Case in point: the new live album and concert film from Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets. Released today, September 18, Live At The Roundhouse captures the former Pink Floyd drummer and his supergroup of talented friends - guitarists Lee Harris and Gary Kemp, keyboardist Dom Beken, and longtime Floyd associate Guy Pratt on bass - as they tackle some of Pink Floyd's earliest deep cuts in the famed London venue. The 22-song

Watching The Wheels: Kenneth Womack's New Biography "John Lennon: 1980" Offers A Comprehensive Look At The Artist's Later Days
John Lennon has been in the news a lot lately, and with good reason. 2020 marks what would have been the musician's 80th birthday and, sadly, it's also the fortieth year since his death. But there's more to that final year of John's life than the tragic events of December 8, 1980. In his new biography, John Lennon: 1980 - The Last Days in the Life, Beatles expert Kenneth Womack tracks that period of creativity and reinvention, writing in a way that's simultaneously approachable yet
Varese Boots Up Expanded 'Hackers' Soundtrack
Audiences and critics may not have fully understood Hackers when it was released exactly 25 years ago - but the cyber-cult classic continues to be a touchpoint in the public's early understanding of the nascent Internet. Next week, its original soundtrack is being expanded for its anniversary, complete with some surprising cameos from a classic rock legend. The film followed a group of young, elite, underground programmers who accidentally stumble upon a computer virus-assisted plot to
A Miracle Happened: "A Cellarful of Motown" Returns with Gems from The Temptations, Martha and The Vandellas, Marvin Gaye, Kim Weston, Blinky, and More
The classic Motown vaults are, once again, open. This Friday, the U.K.'s Caroline label will release the long-anticipated fifth volume of A Cellarful of Motown, the rarities series which last saw a volume in 2010. But this 2-CD, 43-song collection promises to have been worth the wait as it features previously unreleased and new-to-CD tracks from such household name artists as Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, Gladys Knight and The Pips, and The (Detroit) Spinners
A Hundred Million Miracles: Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Flower Drum Song" Reissued on Vinyl, Hi-Rez Digital
Flower Drum Song occupies a unique position in the Rodgers and Hammerstein canon. The 1958 musical wasn't one of the duo's timeless hits (Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, The Sound of Music). Nor was it one of their three commercial misses (Allegro, Me and Juliet, Pipe Dream). Instead, when considering the R&H oeuvre, it resides somewhere in between. It played 600 performances, and yielded a successful London production, a couple of bona fide classic songs, a
Review: July, "The Complete Recordings" Traces Over 50 Years of the Beloved Psych-Rock Band
They might not be a household name, but July is a band you ought to know. The U.K. psych-rockers have garnered a cult following since the release of their self-titled 1968 record. Original mono copies sell for more than three grand online, but its not just the scarcity and desirability of the album that raises eyebrows; it's the high quality of the music. Though their singles may not have charted back in the day, the five-piece Ealing-based group is still considered by psych-rock enthusiasts
Mind Blowing Decisions: Crimson Collects Three Discs of Heatwave
Autumn's almost here, but Demon's Crimson imprint is planning a Heatwave with the impending release of a 3CD collection in the label's Gold series that covers the U.K. R&B group in detail. Though they were based in England and signed to the country's GTO label (with Epic handling their works in the U.S.), Heatwave showcased the potential of soul, funk and R&B in the disco era to connect with a global audience. At the core of the band were two Americans (singers Johnnie Wilder, Jr. and

Underneath The Stars: Mariah Carey Delivers 'The Rarities' For New Collection
Mariah Carey's continuing her #MC30 campaign in a big way with a new collection of rare and unreleased studio and live material, as well as vinyl reissues of her whole catalogue. The Rarities presents the flipside of the pop idol's incredible blockbuster career (one that's produced an impressive 19 chart-topping singles in the U.S. - just one less than The Beatles) through B-sides and outtakes as well as the premiere audio release of a full live set from 1996. Lead single "Saves The Day," a
