The Year in Reissues: The 2012 Gold Bonus Disc Awards

December 28, 2012 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

Wow! Was it just over a year ago when a rather dubious report began circulating (that, shockingly, was picked up by many otherwise-reputable publications) that proclaimed the death of the CD was secretly scheduled by the major labels for 2012? Well, 2012 has come and (almost) gone, and it might have been the most super-sized year in recent memory for reissues, deluxe and otherwise, from labels new and old. Here at the Second Disc, we consider our annual Gold Bonus Disc Awards a companion piece to Mike’s own round-up over at Popdose,…

Review: Mark Lindsay, “The Complete Columbia Singles”

March 5, 2012 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

There’ll be joy and there’ll be laughter/Something big is what I’m after now… As frontman, songwriter and saxophonist of Paul Revere and the Raiders, Mark Lindsay had experienced his fair share of joy and laughter, but as 1969 rolled around, the band behind such garage-pop anthems as “Kicks,” “Just like Me” and “Hungry” was beginning to fracture. Jack Gold, head of A&R at Columbia Records, however, saw something big in Mark Lindsay’s future. According to the singer, Gold had stumbled on him in the studio goofing around with Johnny Mathis’ “Chances Are”…
