She and her outstanding new band play songs from "Be Myself" (2017) and from all her years as one of the most esteemed singer-songwriters in rock. Interspersed with recent interview segments (Sheryl at her farm in Nashville) are "Every Day Is a Winding Road," "A Change Would Do You Good," "All I Wanna Do," "My Favorite Mistake," "Soak Up the Sun," "If It Makes You Happy," "Leaving Las Vegas," "The First Cut Is the Deepest," "Be Myself," "Atom Bomb," "Half Way There" and more on DVD or Blu-Ray (with the audio on 2 CDs, too)! Cleopatra.020286226956 It all started here—a decade of smash singles and albums on RCA. Hall & Oates’ 1975 RCA debut (a.k.a. "the silver album") shot to #17 thanks to their first big hit, "Sara Smile," plus "Camellia," "It Doesn’t Matter Anymore," "Alone Too Long," "Nothing at All," "Gino (the Manager)" and the rest of this blue-eyed-pop-soul perfection. New vinyl reissue! Megaforce.029667008716 This comp (subtitled "The American Dream in Crisis 1967–1973") collects cuts from a time of existential crisis in America, when members of multiple generations pondered (and argued about) marriage, war, racism, religion and more. You’ll find parallels in today’s world as you hear "Clean Up Your Own Back Yard" Elvis Presley, "The Train" Frank Sinatra, "Questions" Bobby Darin, "Revolution" Brothers Four, "This Crazy World" Paul Anka, "4th of July" Beach Boys, "What Do We Do with the World" Bing Crosby, "Lord of the Manor" Everly Brothers, "Abraham, Martin and John" Dion, "Brand New Day" Della Reese and more. CD or double 180-gram blue vinyl! Ace.050087400279 Did a band ever have more fun making an album (and being rock gods) than Queen did in ’78? They piled vocal flourishes and guitar greatness all over these rock, funk and cabaret songs, soaring to #6 with the hits "Bicycle Race," "Fat Bottomed Girls" and "Don’t Stop Me Now" plus "Jealousy," "Dead on Time," "Mustapha," "If You Can’t Beat Them" and more. Back on vinyl, just in time for its 40th anniversary! Hollywood.050087400286 Queen vaulted yet higher with "The Game" (1980), reaching #1 with the LP and its two huge hits: "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "Another One Bites the Dust." Their biggest success ever now returns to vinyl; also includes "Play the Game," "Need Your Loving Tonight," "Don’t Try Suicide," "Coming Soon," "Save Me"…an absolutely triumphant marriage of pop and rock ’n’ roll! Hollywood.0711297521115 These pioneers of ambient house have collaborated with everyone from Lee "Scratch" Perry to David Gilmour during their decades of making groundbreaking electronic music. This new album marks the Orb’s 30th anniversary and features Youth, Roger Eno, Jah Wobble, Hollie Cook, Guy Pratt and more. Let these entrancing sounds wash over you via CD or double vinyl: "The End of the End," "Isle of Horns," "Wolfbane," "Drift," "Soul Planet" and more! Cooking Vinyl.081227932459 For a comprehensive account of the Eagles’ flight to superstardom and beyond, these two new massive sets soar far beyond the competition. Not only do these big boxes bring you every Eagles studio album from 1972–2007, but all the live ones, too—and if you opt for the CD set, you also get two exclusive discs: a DVD with the 1994 concert film "Hell Freezes Over" and a Blu-Ray with the 2005 concert film "Farewell Tour: Live from Melbourne." The 15-LP set is a luxurious affair, too, with multiple albums newly remastered and debuting on vinyl. No matter which set you get, you’ll find a 54-page hardcover book full of artwork, memorabilia and previously unpublished photos. Another thing both boxes share: a disc full of single sides ("Funky New Year," "Hole in the World," "Please Come Home for Christmas" and "Get You in the Mood") and single versions ("Take It Easy," "Outlaw Man," "Best of My Love," "One of These Nights," "Lyin’ Eyes" and "Take It to the Limit"). And the albums, in full: "Eagles," "Desperado," "On the Border," "One of These Nights," "Hotel California," "The Long Run," "Eagles Live," "Hell Freezes Over," "Millennium Concert" and "Long Road Out of Eden." If you have a favorite written by Frey, Henley, Meisner, Leadon, Walsh or their fellow Eagles (not to mention all those J.D. Souther-penned gems), you’ll find it in these colossal sets that track the Eagles from country-rock trailblazers to arena-packing pop stars! Elektra/Rhino.081227935191 Aretha was at the peak of her Atlantic stardom when this 1967 LP came out. This prime-period classic now comes to 180-gram vinyl: her sublime smash "Baby I Love You," her singular renditions of "You Are My Sunshine," "(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction," "96 Tears," Going Down Slow," "That’s Life," "Night Life," "Ain’t Nobody (Gonna Turn Me Around)" and more! ACG.090771803818 This new release should bring serious joy to fans of the Louvins, one of country’s all-time most revered vocal duos. These 29 songwriting demos from the ’50s got filed away and never released—’til now. A warm spoken audio letter from brother Ira joins "It’s All Off," "I’ll Never Go Back," "Two-Faced Heart," "Television Set," "Born Again," "Love and Wealth," "Coo, Coo, Coo," "Red Hen Boogie," "You’ll Forget" and more. Copious notes join the 2 CDs and the double gatefold vinyl, and these beautiful performances rival the best of Charlie and Ira’s official discography! Modern Harmonic.093624904830 Leaping from style to style and mood to mood, Disturbed have created their most daring, adventurous record yet with this new album. The heaviness is hypnotic and the grooves thunderous as metal and melody come together across "Are You Ready," "No More," "A Reason to Fight," "In Another Time," "Watch You Burn," "Already Gone" and more. Deluxe CD and double vinyl add "The Sound of Silence" (live, featuring Myles Kennedy), "Are You Ready" (Sam De Jong remix), "This Venom" and "Uninvited Guest." Another triumphant pairing of Disturbed and producer Kevin Churko! Reprise.095081019911 This founding member of the Nerves started his solo career in ’79, becoming one of the most enduring cult rockers of his time. Paul returns to his lean, pure rock ’n’ roll sound on this new album on which he sings, drums and plays most of the guitars. Rickenbacker, copious reverb, reel-to-reel recorder, tight harmonies…this is a throwback sound delivered with freshness and verve: "In and Out of My Head," "Go," "Midnight Special," "Kind of Girl," "Emily" and more on CD or vinyl! Alive.098787127010 In between the sonic fury of his records with Dinosaur Jr., J has been putting out acclaimed solo albums since ’96. There are some guest vocals and keyboards on this new album, but, as usual, Jay laid down most of this himself at his studio: "See You at the Movies," "Picking Out the Seeds," "Drop Me," "Sometimes," the title song and more. There’s typically great guitar work here, but melody rules across this new set of J Mascis gems. CD or vinyl! Sub Pop.190295578831 Some 18 years into their recording career, Muse continued to evolve from ’90s alt-rock to a fusion of electro-pop and prog-rock with their 2015 album "Drones," which hit #1 in a staggering 23 countries including the U.S. and UK. Timbaland, Mike Elizondo, Shellback and Rich Costey joined the band in producing this new album full of sprawling synth-powered epics, melodic ballads and dystopian images. Every one of these tracks will feature its own music video: "The Dark Side," "Something Human," "Dig Down," "Thought Contagion" and more. CD or vinyl; deluxe CD adds five bonus alternate versions (including acoustic renditions and "alternate reality" versions)! Warner Bros.190758589718 The recording of Dylan’s deeply emotional, uncommonly confessional 1975 LP "Blood on the Tracks" was, notoriously, a saga. Dylan switched out many of the musicians during the NYC recording with producer Phil Ramone, then decamped to Minneapolis for a series of re-records (with a whole new band). Outtakes, alternates and early versions have appeared on other sets over the years, but the deluxe edition of this latest "Bootleg Series" release is a dream come true for Dylan fans who’ve always known about the turmoil that lay behind this album (Dylan’s broken marriage) and the Odyssean affair that was its creation. For now, we can lay our ears on EVERY available "Blood on the Tracks" studio recording in chronological order (unfortunately, many of the Minneapolis tracks were lost forever). But that still means you hear every song in multiple versions, and the deluxe-edition hardcover book not only walks you through the sessions but also reproduces pages from the original notebooks Dylan used at the time. If you opt for the single-CD or double-vinyl "highlights" collection, you get a previously unreleased version of "Up to Me" plus the most moving takes of the 10 album songs: "Tangled Up in Blue," "Simple Twist of Fate," "Shelter from the Storm," "You’re a Big Girl Now," "Buckets of Rain," "If You See Her, Say Hello," "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts," "Meet Me in the Morning," "Idiot Wind" and "You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go." And the comprehensive chronicle that is the 6-CD box adds to that all extant takes, rehearsal recordings, alternate versions (with varied instrumentation and overdubs)…a tremendously revealing look inside the making of a masterpiece! Sony Legacy.190758590417 With 2018 being the 50th anniversary of 1968, we’re seeing 50th-anniversary deluxe reissues of many psychedelic milestones. Towering over most of those landmarks is this double album, which casts a long shadow over countless rock records and electric-guitar performances. Just say the words "Electric Ladyland" and, to borrow a 1967 song title, "there’s a kind of hush," for Jimi’s final studio album is still a wonder to behold. For its 50th anniversary, "Electric Ladyland" has been newly remastered by Bernie Grundman from the original analog tapes. The 3 CDs and six vinyl LPs here bring you the complete album plus a whopping 20 previously unheard demos and studio outtakes from the period: "Voodoo Chile," "Gypsy Eyes," "Little Miss Strange," "Rainy Day, Dream Away," "Long Hot Summer Night," "Angel," "Hear My Train A Comin’" and more. Next: a previously unreleased Hollywood Bowl show from September 4, 1968 that captures the excitement leading up to the release of "Electric Ladyland": "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," "Are You Experienced," "Red House," "Foxey Lady," "Fire," "Hey Joe," "I Won’t Live Today," "Little Wing," "Purple Haze" and more. And on the DVD: the acclaimed documentary "At Last…The Beginning: The Making of Electric Ladyland" plus the album in original stereo (uncompressed 24-bit/96kHz hi-resolution audio) and in a new 5.1 surround mix. The immortal Hendrix release that introduced "Crosstown Traffic," "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" and Jimi’s transfixing spin on Dylan’s "All Along the Watchtower" returns now in ultra-deluxe form, boasting a multitude of never-before-heard recordings! Sony Legacy.190758635316 That title isn’t just a play on "Cheap Thrills," the major label debut of Big Brother & the Holding Company that introduced the world to Janis Joplin. That, in fact, was the band’s intended title for the album—a title that was flatly rejected by the label back then but which makes a dandy title for this 50th-anniversary reissue! Grace Slick and Holding Company drummer David Getz penned the liner notes that join these 30 rare recordings from the original album sessions. Actually, "rare" doesn’t begin to describe it, as 25 of the 30 tracks on the 2 CDs here are previously unreleased! Double vinyl edition includes "Summertime" (take 2), "Ball and Chain" (live at the Winterland Ballroom, April 12, 1968), "Piece of My Heart" (take 6), "Turtle Blues" (take 9), "How Many Times Blues Jam," "Oh, Sweet Mary," "Catch Me Daddy" (take 1), "Harry" (take 10), "Flower in the Sun" (take 3), "Roadblock" (take 1) and more. You get 12 precious documents of Janis and the band on the LPs or 30 on the CDs…sex and dope not included, though. Sony Legacy.19075893381 The animated "Post-Apocalypto" episodes (each hand-drawn by Jack Black) all lead to this: the new album by Tenacious D, produced by John Spiker and once again featuring the titanic drums of Dave Grohl. You might have heard some of these songs in the episodes themselves; they’re all collected here on CD or 180-gram translucent green vinyl (with download): "Post-Apocalypto Theme," "Take Us into Space," "Daddy Ding Dong," "I’ve Got to Go," "Woman Time," "Reunion/Not So Fast" and more from the glorious return of Tenacious D! Columbia.190758954912 OK, Streisand fans—ready to positively swoon? Here comes the first Streisand album dominated by new original songs since 2005! Bewitching melodies meet intriguing lyrics, and deep concerns about the future meet abiding hope across these songs and soul-stirring Streisand performances. Along with her takes on "What the World Needs Now," "Imagine/What a Wonderful World" and the Bernstein/Lerner song "Take Care of This House," you’ll hear the title track and the passionate plea "Don’t Lie to Me" plus "What’s on My Mind," "Lady Liberty," "Better Angels," "The Rain Will Fall" and more. It’s evident that these songs are dear to Barbra’s heart, and they’ll have the same profound effect on you as you hear her new album on CD or vinyl! Sony Legacy.191404093610 We know that Radiohead’s Thom Yorke knows how to make some compellingly atmospheric and, yes, creepy tracks. Now, he’s taken those dark gifts and brought them to this new remake of Dario Argento’s horror classic "Suspiria," which is hitting theaters just about the same time this soundtrack is arriving on CD or double pink vinyl. Turn out the lights (or, maybe turn them all on) as you listen to "A Storm That Took Everything," "The Hooks," "Suspirium," "Sabbath Incantation," "The Inevitable Pull," "A Soft Hand Across Your Face," "Voiceless Terror" and more! XL.192562649329 This country hit-maker made a big splash with the throwback honky-tonk sounds of this 2007 Christmas album. Now, "Frozen in Time" returns with two added tracks.; you get 12 favorites and original songs in all: "White Christmas," "Frosty the Snowman," "Cold Beer," "Winter Wonderland," "The Christmas Song," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," the title tune and more! Lawrence.3700477828233 The last Jackson 5 LP on Motown, this 1975 release went Top 40 pop and sent "Forever Came Today" and "All I Do Is Think of You" to the R&B charts. Disco, Philly soul and Motown merge across those hits plus "Honey Love," "Breezy," "Call of the Wild," the title song and more. The singing on this one is sublime, and this is a highly desirable reissue, on newly pressed yellow vinyl! Culture Factory.4050538368314 The first career-crossing collection from this UK folk-rock icon was assembled by the Bert Jansch Estate and Bernard Butler (the great Suede guitarist), who also penned the insightful liner notes. Bert’s uncommon gifts as a guitarist, songwriter and interpreter of traditional tunes are on grand display across "Strolling down the Highway," "Angie," "Needle of Death," "It Don’t Bother Me," "Blackwaterside," "Soho," "The Time Has Come," "Poison," "Rosesmary Lane," "Reynardine," "Sweet Rose," "Let Me Sing" (live), "Carnival," "Crimson Moon" and more. 27 tracks on double vinyl or 40 on 2 CDs! Sanctuary.4050538410617 Mick and Keith bonded over the blues before they formed a band—and now, the Rolling Stones, in collaboration with BMG and Universal, have curated a new collection of the blues singers and songs who first lit a fire under them. There are several editions here (all of which include extended essays as well as cover art by Ronnie Wood): volumes one and two via two double-vinyl sets, or both volumes together on 2 CDs or 5 10" LPs (mimicking the original 78 RPM releases). That 5-LP set also includes a book pack with removable art card prints by noted blues illustrator Christoph Mueller.

King, "Stop Breakin’ Down Blues" Robert Johnson, "Blue and Lonesome" Little Walter, "Damn Right I’ve Got the Blues" Buddy Guy, "Mona" Bo Diddley and more!
