• Track Listing

Ready for some rock ’n’ roll manna from heaven? Recently found in the basement of a Michigan farmhouse, the 1/4" stereo two-track tapes of the Stooges’ complete set at the 1970 Goose Lake fest bring a mythic performance to life! Not only is this the final performance by the original lineup (with Dave Alexander on bass), but it’s the only known soundboard recording of that lineup. They play the entire Fun House album just before its release…this is a revelation, on CD or vinyl: "Loose," "Down on the Street," "T.V. Eye," "Dirt," "1970 (I Feel Alright)," "Fun House" and more! Third Man.826853000932 New deluxe reissue of the 1982 solo debut by Cabaret Voltaire’s Stephen Mallinder: CD or double vinyl (which features a 12" x 24" poster insert), both now featuring bonus single sides, Japanese-pressing tracks and compilation cuts! These forward-looking, mesmerizing fusions of dub, funk and post-punk include "Cool Down" (two versions), "The Devil in Me," "Pow-Wow," "Three Piece Swing," "In Smoke," "Length of Time," "Going Out," "Del Soul," "Temperature Drop" and more. Ice Machine.826853019316 With their heavy New England accents and the "discordant charms" of their raw, homespun recordings, these New Hampshire sisters created a 1969 cult classic with "Philosophy of the World." That lost oddity was later championed by Kurt Cobain and NRBQ’s Terry Adams, and it was Adams who compiled this 1982 collection of tracks the Wiggin sisters recorded post-"Philosophy." Adams asserts that these songs and recordings are the best the sisters ever made; this remastered reissue includes the bonus song "Love at First Sight" plus "My Pal Foot Foot," "My Cutie," "Gimme Dat Ding" and the rest of the original comp. Vinyl includes 12 tracks; CD boasts 15 (three additional bonus cuts including their spin on "Wipe Out")! Light in the Attic.840588135523 Not only does one of the great metal showmen rip it up on stage here, but the DVD/Blu-Ray accompanying this live album (CD or double vinyl) also boasts behind-the-scenes footage, interview clips and Dee’s highly entertaining commentary. The performances take us from the U.S. to Europe, Australia and beyond: Twisted Sister hits plus Snider solo songs and covers including "We’re Not Gonna Take It," "Highway to Hell," "The Kids Are Back," "You Can’t Stop Rock ’n’ Roll," "The Beast," "American Made" and more including the new studio bonus track "Prove Me Wrong"! Napalm.848064009375 This early reggae star was also one of the youngest, recording his first side ("My Queen") at age 12 and scoring his first hit (1967’s "You’re Gonna Need Me") three years later. "Darling Ooh," his first LP, came out on multiple labels (and in multiple versions) in ’72 and as a reissue. Here’s its 1972 release on the Trojan imprint Attack: the hit "A Little Way Different" and the aforementioned hit "You’re Gonna Need Me" plus "You Never Know," "Movie Star," "Baby I Love You," the title song and more. This limited-edition (1000 copies) "root beer" vinyl LP not only looks smashing, but its fresh remastering makes this roots-reggae classic sound better than ever! Real Gone Music.848064010432 For his second Buddah LP, Airto brought back most of the crew heard on "Natural Feelings": Flora Purim, Ron Carter, Hermeto Pascoal and more. This exceedingly rare LP evades the "jazz fusion" designation as it traverses bossa-nova, psych-rock, Brazilian folk, Latin jazz, free jazz…and yet, as eclectic as that sounds, it all comes together organically. Airto had a legendary career, and this was one of his crowning achievements: "Andei (I Walked)," "Uri (Wind)," "Juntos (We Love)," "Papa Furado (Jive Talking)" and more. This first U.S. reissue features the original gatefold-jacket artwork, is pressed on ocean-blue vinyl and is limited to 1000 copies! Real Gone Music.848064010456 These Twin Cities legends made the major-label leap with "Grave Dancers Union," then followed that with this 1995 album of emotion-fueled, hook-filled songs (and some genuinely experimental ones, too, like "Caged Rat"). That joins the hits "Misery" and "Promises Broken" plus "Shut Down," "Hopes Up," "Crawl" and more. Being a mid-’90s release, this LP was only available on vinyl for a heartbeat; this reissue with original jacket and inner-sleeve art come on coke-clear-with-blue-swirl vinyl and is limited to 700 copies. Don’t let this oft-overlooked gem pass you by! Real Gone Music.848064010487 We know that Eastwood is an ardent music aficionado ("Play Misty for Me," "Bird"…), and this vintage LP takes us back to the top of his career, when he was a singer as well as an actor. Fresh from his breakthrough on "Rawhide," Clint sings a set of country & western favorites: "Along the Santa Fe Trail," "Mexicali Rose," "The Last Round Up," "Tumbling Tumbleweeds," "Don’t Fence Me In," "San Antonio Rose" and more. In the wake of Clint’s 90th birthday, this early-career delight arrives now as a gift to his fans, on red vinyl (limited to 500 copies). A little-known side of a Hollywood icon! Real Gone Music.848064010753 With the psychedelic pomp of "And in the Beginning…," the banned-in-the-UK "Erotica" (an orgasmic fuzz-guitar freak-out) and the surprisingly catchy "Don’t Just Stand There (Come Out of the Rain)," these Welsh rockers made waves with their 1969 debut LP. With a twin-guitar attack and copious organ, "Revelation" is a psych-prog adventure best heard through headphones. Featuring the original Pye "flipback" jacket (flaps outside on back cover), this purple vinyl reissue (first U.S. vinyl reissue) is limited to 1000 copies. Take this trip…trust us! Real Gone Music.8719262014978 David Bowie’s Tin Machine charted for the second and final time when they released this 1991 studio album, which pairs Bowie’s vocals (and sax) with the utterly distinctive rock guitar stylings of Reeves Gabrels. There’s a level of pop production here that was missing from Tin Machine’s more dissonant debut; this album has grown and grown in reputation over the years, and returns now on 180-gram silver vinyl (limited to 5000 copies): "Baby Universal," "You Belong in Rock ’n’ Roll," "One Shot," "If There Is Something," "A Big Hurt" and more. First time on vinyl since ’91! Music on Vinyl.880882405410 Alabama Shakes guitarist Heath Fogg was a key part of that band’s soulful sound, and now he has recorded his first solo album as Sun on Shade. He brings you optimism with a tear, and blue moods with a beat, joined by guests Sam Doores (of the Deslondes), Shonna Tucker (of Drive-By Truckers) and his Albama Shakes mate Lloyd Buchanan. Check this out, on CD or vinyl (with download): "Light Behind the Eyes," "Mainline Getaway," "Tiger Lillies," "I Can’t Entertain You" and more! ATO.884860332217 Talk about a "big sound"! These German metal legends teamed with the Concert Band of the German Armed Forces for this dramatic new recording. Iconic metal vocalist Udo Dirkschneider (the original voice of Accept) leads the charge, though he has plenty of cavalry to back him up across 15 new songs. This stands apart from any "rock band meets orchestra" project you’ve ever heard, as these heavy rockers and 60-piece orchestra present songs about climate change, the plight of the refugee and more: "Pandemonium," "We Are One," "Blackout," "Mother Earth" and more on CD, double clear red vinyl or double silver vinyl! Craft.887828046416 The critical raves this Detroit post-punk band were getting helped elevate them from the Hardly Art label to Domino in 2017. Joe Casey’s elliptical yet dark and devastating poetry is set against one riveting track after another (guitar rockers as well as the cellos, saxes, clarinets and flutes played by the guests here): "Processed by the Boys" (you must see that song’s video), "Day Without End," "I Am You Now," "The Aphorist," "Michigan Hammers" and more. CD or vinyl (which includes poster and download)! Domino.888072155213 The heavy guitars and melodic vocal hooks of Collective Soul brought them another platinum-selling triumph when they released their self-titled ophomore album in ’95. On vinyl for the first time, it includes their hits "Gel," "December" and "The World I Know" plus "Smashing Young Man," "Where the River Flows" and more. The expanded CD edition adds six bonus tracks: the song "That’s All Right" plus five electric and acoustic live performances! Craft.888072168398 These Georgia alt-rockers rocketed from local renown to national fame with their 1994 debut, which soared to #15 and sent their instant ’90s classic "Shine" to #11. This remastered reissue on vinyl features "Shine," "Love Lifted Me," "Breathe," "Wasting Time," "Reach," "Scream" and the rest of Collective Soul’s fabulously successful first album! Craft.888072171121 Many felt that Gary Busey should have won an Oscar for his portrayal of Buddy Holly in this 1978 biopic. This soundtrack album has gotten similar raves over the years, with Gary himself singing "Rave On," "It’s So Easy," "Everyday," the hits medley "That’ll Be the Day/Oh Boy!/Peggy Sue/Maybe Baby/Not Fade Away" and more. This deluxe reissue on CD or vinyl boasts rare Buddy Holly photos donated by Holly’s estate and includes previously omitted performances by Busey ("Tennessee Waltz"), Gailard Sartain as the Big Bopper ("Chantilly Lace"), Paul Mooney as Sam Cooke ("You Send Me") and more! Varese Sarabande.888072178250 Assembled in the wake of the success of "Time of the Season" (but not released until the 21st century), "R.I.P." pairs the Zombies’ final recordings with previous tracks that had never been released. It’s the great "lost" Zombies album…lots of rare prime cuts here…and is a prize to own on vinyl: "She Loves the Way They Love Her," "Imagine the Swan," "If It Don’t Work Out," "Walking in the Sun," "I’ll Call You Mine," "Girl Help Me," "I Know She Will" and more! Craft.888072178267 First widely available re-release since the ’60s! This 1964 comp collected tracks from the Zombies’ debut UK LP and also their self-titled EP: their breakthrough hits "She’s Not There," "Tell Her No," their Zombie-fied spins on "You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me/Bring It On Home to Me," "I Got My Mojo Working," the Argent-penned gems "Woman," "Sometimes" and more early Zombies, back on vinyl. Craft.888072178274 This particular "best-of" was only originally issued in Japan and the Netherlands. Now, it’s yours to own on vinyl: their breakthrough smash "She’s Not There" plus "The Way I Feel Inside," "How We Were Before," "Is This the Dream," "Whenever You’re Ready," "You Make Me Feel Good," "Indication," "Don’t Go Away" and more oft-overlooked gems from Zombies LPs and 45s! Craft.4029759132028 The late flamenco guitar wizard and the pioneering fusion guitarist teamed up for a truly dazzling Montreux performance in ’87, playing pieces from their solo LPs and from releases by the Guitar Trio as well as some inspired covers. "Paco and John" now, finally, debuts on vinyl: double black vinyl or limited-edition double yellow/orange vinyl including "One Melody," "My Foolish Heart," "Spain," "Chiquito," "Florianapolis," "Guardian Angel," "Non-Music," "El Panuelo" and more! earMUSIC.4029759147510 It might come as a surprise that Heart never played the Royal Albert Hall before this 2016 concert, but it’s true—and, wow, did they make up for lost time with this epic set. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra join the band for a rock show laced with symphonic grandeur. The Wilson sisters, of course, have the voices and songs to still dominate the evening as you hear "Magic Man," "Dreamboat Annie," "Crazy on You," "Barracuda," "Kick It Out," "Silver Wheels," "These Dreams," "What About Love," "Alone" and more. Double vinyl (black) or limited-edition double pink vinyl! earMUSIC.4029759147923 With their new LP "A Question of Balance" perched atop the UK charts, the magnificent Moodies were a main attraction at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival (along with Hendrix, the Doors and the Who). They played this stunning set to an audience of about half a million people: "Nights in White Satin," "Gypsy," "The Sunset," "Tuesday Afternoon," "Minstrel’s Song," "Question," "Ride My See Saw," "Legend of a Mind," "Have You Heard Pts. 1 & 2" and more. Now you can own this magic Moody Blues moment on double 180-gram vinyl: black or limited-edition violet! earMUSIC.602508617690 Wanting to create an album of simpler charms and more spare arrangements than some of his more ornate productions, Paul recorded this largely acoustic affair with co-producers Jeff Lynne and George Martin and guests Ringo Starr, Steve Miller, his wife Linda and his son James. The easygoing energy and stellar songs on "Flaming Pie" (1997) made it one of Paul’s best-loved post-Beatles albums, and it returns now in remastered fashion on 180-gram double vinyl or 2 CDs. The CDs and the triple-vinyl edition add bonus tracks: demos/home recordings of "Flaming Pie," "Souvenir," "Somedays," "Calico Sky," "The World Tonight," "Little Willow," "If You Wanna," "Great Day" and more (the CDs contain 10 more bonus tracks than the 3 LPs including rough mixes, acoustic versions and other studio tracks).

The box also comes with a download card for 24bit/96kHz audio, so you can hear this great album in the absolute most opulent fidelity. Also adding to the opulence of the box: a 128-page book with unpublished images by Linda McCartney, archival expanded album artwork, an extended essay about the album, new interviews with Paul, Ringo, Steve Miller, Jeff Lynne, a copy of Club Sandwich magazine, a "Flaming Pie" guitar pick, a facsimile of John Hammel’s studio notebook, handwritten lyrics for eight songs…it’s as "deluxe" as deluxe sets come, all in celebration of one of Sir Paul’s finest! Capitol.607396540310 Inspired by the West Virginia coal-mine explosion that killed 29 men in 2010, Earle’s new album explores life and daily work in rural communities, and feelings of unity, pride and patriotism that bring some people together but sow division across the country, too. These deftly drawn portraits include "The Mine," "Black Lung," "It’s About Blood," "Heaven Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere," "Union, God and Country" and more. Ultimately, this moving album cries out for communication and understanding as it honors those lost at Upper Big Branch. CD, 150-gram vinyl or 150-gram, limited-edition "West Virginia" blue-and-yellow marbled vinyl! New West.634457900516 "House of Joy" is what they called the large wooden speakers that filled the dance halls with such glorious sounds during the heyday of Jamaican reggae and ska.
