Phil Collins No Jacket Required Fully Tailored 3D Packshot

Phil Collins is taking his Jacket to the cleaners and coming back with a whole new cut.

Carly Simon, “Share the End” (2025 Remaster) (Elektra/Rhino) (iTunes / Amazon) Though merely billed as a remaster in the metadata, this upbeat, heartbreaking side-two opener to Simon’s sophomore album Anticipation has been newly remixed. It’s a dramatic revisit of a song that resonates still, and hopefully a portent of…

Can’t Turn Back the Decks: Phil Collins’ ‘Both Sides’ Gets Deluxe Vinyl Set

July 11, 2024 by Mike Duquette | 1 Comment

When Phil Collins started his deluxe reissue campaign in 2016, he started from both an obvious place and a less obvious one, first expanding 1981 debut Face Value as well as 1993’s Both Sides, his fifth album. Now, that latter release – clearly, one of Collins’ own favorites in his catalog – is being celebrated this fall with two vinyl products. Rhino will release Both Sides (All the Sides), a 5LP box set featuring the original album, demos, B-sides and live cuts, on September 20. They’ll follow it up with a 10″ vinyl edition of Live from…

Wonderful Tonight(s): Eric Clapton Announces ’24 Nights’ Box Set

April 13, 2023 by Mike Duquette | 15 Comments

Like Cheap Trick and Budokan or The Allman Brothers Band and the Beacon Theatre, Eric Clapton has a kind of bond with London’s Royal Albert Hall. He’s played there more than 200 times in the last 60 years – more than any other artist – and condensed two runs of shows at the venue into the live album 24 Nights in 1991, the start of a critical and commercial renaissance for the guitar legend. On June 23, Rhino rolls out a series of products telling an even deeper story of the period…

Walking on the Chinese Wall: SoulMusic Records Collects Philip Bailey’s First Three Solo Pop Albums

January 30, 2023 by The Second Disc | 4 Comments

Band break-ups can be traumatizing, no matter how they happen. Philip Bailey, whose high falsetto vocals were a key part of Earth, Wind & Fire during their most commercial years in the ’70s and ’80s, has frequently described the band’s (temporary) dissolution, brought up during a 1983 band meeting by founder Maurice White, as one of the lower points of his career. Bailey’s next moves could shape his trajectory as an artist for better or worse. Of course, what happened over the rest of the decade helped solidify Bailey’s reputation as an…

Deep in the Motherlode: Genesis Detail ‘BBC Broadcasts’ Box

January 12, 2023 by Mike Duquette | 3 Comments

Though the exhaustive archival work that accompanied Genesis’ 2007 touring did not extend to the group’s latest (and likely last) outing in 2021 and 2022, this year brings a new box set for fans of the prog-turned-pop/rock icons: a collection of their live material as recorded by the BBC. BBC Broadcasts, curated by founding keyboardist Tony Banks and longtime engineer Nick Davis, offers a trove of concert audio from all the major eras of Genesis from 1970 to 1998. The earliest material, taken from a 1970 appearance on BBC Radio 2 program…

In Memoriam: Lamont Dozier (1941-2022)

August 9, 2022 by Mike Duquette | 5 Comments

We at The Second Disc are not musicians. Well – I don’t want to speak for Joe, but outside of an enthusiastic karaoke night every now and again, I am not a musician. But I obviously think of what it takes to mix brain power and artistic expression so brilliantly in the creation of a song, as well as the struggles that every artist faces when trying to “make it.” Earning a living is one thing, sure, but so is the magic of connecting with a friend or a stranger through a…

Sail On Solar Winds: Cherry Red, Esoteric Reissue Lancaster and Lumley’s “Marscape” Featuring Phil Collins

March 10, 2022 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

Late last year, Cherry Red’s Esoteric Recordings arm reissued the rock-meets-classical interpretation of Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf conceived by Jack Lancaster (Blodwyn Pig) and Robin Lumley (Brand X). Now, on March 25, Esoteric will turn its attention to the next album from the pair of Lancaster and Lumley. The 1976 concept album Marscape was inspired by the landing on Mars of NASA’s Viking Explorer 2 in September of that year Though the success of Peter and the Wolf directly led to Marscape, it was far from the first collaboration of…

Classical Goes Rock: Prog “Peter and the Wolf” Featuring Manfred Mann, Brian Eno, Phil Collins, Stephane Grappelli Returns to CD from Cherry Red, Esoteric

December 2, 2021 by Joe Marchese | 5 Comments

Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev wrote Peter and the Wolf in 1936 as “a symphonic fairy tale for children.” As conceived, the narrator tells a story for children in which every character is musically “played” by a different instrument, i.e., the bird is a flute, the duck is an oboe, the cat is a clarinet, the grandfather is a bassoon, the Wolf is French horns, the hunters are woodwinds and trumpets, and Peter is string instruments. Prokofiev’s composition earned the attention of Walt Disney who famously turned it into a 15-minute animated short…

This is Heavy: Mondo Reissues ‘Back To The Future’ Album With Unused Art

July 1, 2020 by The Second Disc | No Comments

On July 3, 1985, mass audiences got to take a trip Back To The Future thanks to the year’s top-grossing film. For its 35th anniversary, the film and music fans at Mondo are bringing the film’s classic soundtrack back to vinyl with a cool twist: an unused piece of front cover artwork courtesy of the series’ beloved poster artist. Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale’s time-travel fantasy found Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), an average California teen in 1985, accidentally transported 30 years into the past thanks to a souped-up DeLorean time machine…
