Welcome to another edition of The Weekend Stream, The Second Disc's review of notable catalogue titles (and some new ones, too!) making digital debuts.

Dolly Parton, "If You Hadn't Been There" (Butterfly) (iTunes / Amazon) On her first day in Nashville at the age of 18, a rising country musician named Dolly Parton had a chance encounter

Produced by Tony Visconti 4CD

In the course of a career spanning seven decades, Tony Visconti has produced seminal albums in the classic rock genre including high profile collaborations with David Bowie, T. Rex, Gentle Giant, Strawbs, and Badfinger.  But Visconti's C.V. runs much deeper, from folk (Ralph McTell, Tom Paxton) to musical theatre (Elaine Paige) and everything in between (Sparks).  On October 20, Edsel will release the first large-scale tribute to Visconti's enormous musical legacy.  Produced by Tony Visconti has

Joey Molland Be True to Yourself

As the only living member of the original Badfinger quartet, it's fallen to Joey Molland to keep the torch burning brightly for his old band.  But in addition to touring as Joey Molland's Badfinger, the Liverpool-born singer-songwriter-guitarist/rock and roll survivor has recorded a number of solo albums since 1984.  Last year, he appeared in the well-received tour of It Was Fifty Years Ago Today: A Tribute to The Beatles' White Album alongside such talents as Todd Rundgren, Micky Dolenz,

Real Gone Music is taking a bite of the apple, er, Apple, this fall with a special pair of newly remastered and generously expanded reissues from Badfinger.  The band's two underrated Warner Bros. albums are getting the deluxe treatment from the label on November 2. Following five albums for The Beatles' Apple label (including one as The Iveys in 1969), the hitmaking band behind "Come and Get It" and "Day After Day" decamped their fab home for the Warner Bros. label.  The quartet of Pete Ham,
