I Can See For Miles: The Who Announce Rarities-Filled Deluxe Reissue of "The Who Sell Out" Due April 23
If you're troubled and you can't relax, close your eyes and think on this... So begins "Armenia City in the Sky," the first track on The Who Sell Out. Originally released in December 1967, the album reflects not only the hippie counterculture, but also the maturing of rock music as an art form. Here, The Who go between psych-rock, pop, childlike ditties, jazzy ballads, and even a rock opera - not to mention the breakthrough hit "I Can See For Miles". It's tied together (rather loosely)

Welcome to this week's Release Round-Up! Bob Dylan, 1970 (Columbia/Legacy) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada) In recent years, Bob Dylan's annual copyright-extension collections have become highly sought-after collectors' items and fodder for bootleggers everywhere. Happily, Legacy Recordings has opted to give a wide release to Dylan's 1970 set, largely drawn from the Self Portrait sessions and featuring his loose jams with George Harrison. This 3-CD set features 74
What We Talk About: Run Out Groove Delivers Expanded Reissue of Old 97's "Fight Songs" With Remix, Demos
Run Out Groove is going alt-country for its next limited edition, fan-voted vinyl release. The Old 97's, formed in Dallas, Texas in 1993, were at the vanguard of the movement that saw the spirit of traditional country merged with an alternative rock sensibility. The onetime bar band was championed by indie labels Idol and Bloodshot before moving to the majors with 1997's Too Far to Care on Elektra Records. ROG is revisiting Old 97's next and fourth album, 1999's Fight Songs, in a lavishly
Bad Side of the Moon: Cherry Red, Esoteric Reissue Toe Fat's Complete Rare Earth/EMI Recordings
Motown's Rare Earth imprint intended to bring the sound of rock to the home of The Supremes, The Miracles, Martha and The Vandellas, The Temptations, and Four Tops. The imprint was named after a white rock band from Detroit and its artists were both home-grown and licensed from other parties. In the latter category was Toe Fat, a U.K. psych-rock band built around the talents of Cliff Bennett, formerly of the beat group Cliff Bennett and The Rebel Rousers. Both of Toe Fat's albums - issued on

Something in the Air (Live Paris 99) includes all 15 songs performed by Bowie and his band at the Elysée Montmartre on October 14, 1999. Earlier in the day, he was awarded the Commandeurs of the Ordre des Arts et des
Glory of Love: Cherry Pop Collects Peter Cetera's Full Moon-Warner Bros. Discography On New Box Set
UPDATED 1/22: As one of the seven members of Chicago as featured on their 1969 debut album Chicago Transit Authority, bassist-singer Peter Cetera's soaring tenor became an integral component of the band's sound on such hits as "25 or 6 to 4," "Feelin' Stronger Every Day," "Just You 'n' Me," and "(I've Been) Searching So Long." When his own composition "If You Leave Me Now" became Chicago's first-ever No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 - not to mention in international territories such as Canada,
March Is Bustin' Out All Over: Stage Door Collects First Volume of RCA's "Show Time" Series of Classic Musicals
By 1953, RCA Victor already boasted a considerable number of Broadway classics in its catalogue - from original cast recordings of Brigadoon and Paint Your Wagon to studio cast renditions of South Pacific and Finian's Rainbow. But the label was eager to build up its musical theatre repertoire and compete with the likes of Columbia and Decca. To that end, the Show Time series was launched - a collection of 16 EPs, each dedicated to four songs from a beloved musical or operetta. The EPs were
Where Do We Go From Here: ABKCO Reissues, Remasters Bobby Womack's "The Poet" Albums
Singer, songwriter, musician, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Bobby Womack (1944-2014) saw his songs covered by The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, and his longtime friend Wilson Pickett. But his solo output, recorded over 40+ years for labels including Minit, United Artists, Columbia, Arista, MCA, Capitol, XL, and others, was no less impressive. Now, two of his albums for the Beverly Glen label (also onetime home of artists including Anita Baker and Johnnie Taylor) are

Wild Thing: Cherry Red Collects Complete Recordings of '70s Glam-Pop Band Fancy
The story of the band Fancy began with Chip Taylor's "Wild Thing." Captivated with Jimi Hendrix's fiery take on the classic popularized by The Troggs, producer Mike Hurst (The Springfields, Cat Stevens, Shakin' Stevens, Showaddywaddy) began to imagine the song as sung by a woman. He dialed up both the sex and the funk for a slower, breathier, and more salacious version of the pop-rock staple. Guitarist Ray Fenwick, bassist Mo Foster, drummer Henry Spinetti, keyboardist Alan Hawkshaw, and

Review: Elvis Costello and The Attractions, "Armed Forces: Super Deluxe Edition"
"Hey Clockface, keep those fingers on the dial," Elvis Costello implored on the jaunty, jazz-flavored title track of his 2020 album. "You said you'd be a friend to me, but time is just my enemy and it is hurting me so..." Despite his pleas, time has been rather good to Costello's artistry. Though initially branded an "angry young man" - and indeed, he channeled the punk zeitgeist early on with his fast and furious compositions - Costello has been able to travel wherever his muse takes him.
Batteries Not Included: Rhino, Chrysalis Reissue Jethro Tull's "A" in 40th Anniversary Box
1979's Stormwatch could have been the final Jethro Tull record. The culmination of the band's "folk-rock trilogy" that began with Songs from the Wood in 1977, Stormwatch was the final album to feature Tull's classic line-up. Barriemore Barlow, John Evan, and Dee Palmer all departed the group after the April 1980 conclusion of the Stormwatch tour, and John Glascock died during the tour. With the band seemingly dissolved, Ian regrouped with guitarist Martin Barre to record a solo album. But
