1975's Fleetwood Mac introduced a new sound for the band founded by Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Peter Green, and Jeremy Spencer. The addition of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks to the lineup saw a marked shift towards mainstream pop-rock and earned the group its first No. 1 album.

Jack White's Third Man Records has established itself as a formidable addition to the list of fine reissue labels. Though Third Man most often deals with Jack White's back catalog and production work, every so often, the label delivers a lost classic by legendary musicians. Such is the case with a pair of new releases - a live set from The Stooges vintage 1970, and a reissue of a beloved if challenging free jazz/soul album by saxophonist Albert Ayler. New Grass is available now.  The album

Micky Dolenz Live in Japan

Even today, the name Kodak is synonymous with photography.  But in 1980 Japan, Kodak was synonymous with The Monkees.  The venerable company had scored a popular commercial there with the group's recording of "Daydream Believer," leading to a fresh wave of Monkeemania.  Word spread, and soon, Davy Jones and Peter Tork were touring the country as solo acts.  Micky Dolenz was third to arrive, having comfortably reestablished himself as not only a stage star but a theatrical and television
