OST GroovieGoolies

Time may feel like it's at a standstill, but Halloween is just around the corner.  To celebrate, Real Gone Music will release a host of spooky-scary releases on October 2, including the first-ever CD and LP reissue of Groovie Goolies. The 1970 power pop album was the soundtrack to the popular CBS-TV music-themed Saturday morning cartoon show produced by Filmation.  Each episode included two original songs: one from The Monster Trio (Drac, Frankie, and Wolfie - see the album cover!) and one

roadrunner box set

One of the top labels in straight-up rock and heavy metal, Roadrunner Records, will celebrate their more than 30 years in the business with a new box set, XXX: Three Decades of Roadrunner Records, in October. From its inception in 1980, Roadrunner was often toward the forefront of metal, from traditional heavy and thrash metal in the 1980s and early 1990s to the fast-paced tracks and nu metal stylings of the late '90s. Along the way, they've opened up their roster to all kinds of hard rock,

countdown to extinction

Following last year's heavy-duty 25th anniversary box set edition of Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?, EMI is slated to release another expanded anniversary edition from thrash-metal gods Megadeth, celebrating 20 years of their Countdown to Extinction album. Countdown, the politically charged, hard-driving fifth album from the band, was released at one of the commercial zeniths of heavy metal, with Mustaine's former band Metallica's self-titled "Black Album" and Pantera's A Vulgar Display of

queen deepcuts3 cvr qol

Queen have confirmed their last batch of expanded studio albums - The Works, A Kind of Magic, The Miracle, Innuendo and Made in Heaven - to be released in the U.K. on September 5 from Island/UMC. Another Deep Cuts compilation will be released as well, as seen above; neither that set nor the bonus material have gotten confirmed track lists. Note that all 15 remastered studio albums will be out before the second batch of reissues hit American shelves. It usually pains me to agree with Nine Inch

peace sells

Dave Mustaine was determined not to become a footnote in heavy metal history. The guitarist had spent a mostly uneventful two years in the employ of a Los Angeles band named Metallica, who fired him shortly before recording their debut album, Kill 'Em All, in 1983. (Mustaine did pen four tracks on the record, including favorites "The Four Horsemen" and "Jump in the Fire.") Undeterred, Mustaine formed his own band, Megadeth, in 1985. Their debut, Killing is My Business...and Business is Good!,
