When Phil Collins' Take a Look At Me Now... reissue campaign commenced in 2016, some fans were understandably, justifiably sore at the exclusion of most of his rarest material - non-LP B-sides and remixes - in favor of unreleased demos or, more often, non-contemporaneous live material sitting next to the original albums on bonus discs. This month, Rhino will finally collect that much-coveted material - albeit in digital form - on two new compilations: Other Sides and Remixed Sides, due May

UPDATED: Different Drummer: Edsel Collects Michael Nesmith's RCA and Pacific Arts Years on New Box Set
And the Hits Just Keep On Comin'. Michael Nesmith titled his 1972 RCA album ironically - when it "bubbled under" the Billboard 200 at No. 208, it actually bested its predecessor by three slots - but the LP did feature the once and future Monkee's rendition of one major favorite, "Different Drum." The 1965 tune became an enduring hit for the Stone Poneys featuring Linda Ronstadt in 1967, establishing Nesmith outside of The Monkees. Since 1968, he's released 16 studio albums. Recently, 12 of

Review: David Bowie, "Spying Through a Keyhole (Demos and Unreleased Songs)"
Can you hear me, Major Tom? In the late 1960s, David Bowie was an artist deeply hoping to be heard. A handful of singles and an album on Deram Records had failed to rocket him to the stars. But Bowie continued writing, recording, and shopping his songs around in hopes of the elusive next deal that would take him to the next level. As such, Bowie left a great many demo recordings behind. Due to current EU copyright laws, right holders have been required to release previously unissued

Salt of the Earth: ABKCO Revisits "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus" With Expanded Deluxe Sets
The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus is one of those great time capsules of the rock and roll era. Filmed at the Intertel TV Studio in Wembley on December 11, 1968 and directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, the movie was part rock show and part sideshow. The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus featured the original lineup of The Rolling Stones - Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, and Bill Wyman - who served as the main music draw and the night's hosts.
