So we've introduced a new feature: The Weekend Stream, which focuses on hidden gems that recently made it to digital channels that might make your playlists a little brighter!

On the Town Broadway Melody

Stage Door Records is pairing two rare London studio cast recordings on one CD with the February 22 release of On the Town/Broadway Melody.  This stereo release celebrates the classic sound of the Hollywood musical.  The Music for Pleasure label's 1959 recording of On the Town wasn't based on the original Leonard Bernstein/Betty Comden/Adolph Green stage musical but rather its MGM movie adaptation in which selections from the original score were supplemented by new (and less complex) tunes from

Engelbert Decca Box

Last week saw the release of multiple versions of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band which included the double A-side single "Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever" among its bonus material, as the songs were recorded during the same time period as the album.  When the single was released in late February 1967, what song kept it from hitting the top of the U.K. Singles Chart, making it the first Beatles single in nearly five years not to do so?  That would be the Decca single of
