Stream 2024

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. This Saturday brings remixes from James Brown, live rarities from Daryl Hall and - yes - a jump on some Christmas catalogue. James Brown, We Got to Change / Soul Power: The Remixes (Republic/UMe) (iTunes / Amazon) "We Got to Change" was an exciting find earlier this year: an unreleased 1970 track featuring an early version of The J.B.'s,

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