Digital Roundup: 14 Funky Additions to Rhino’s Digital Catalog in 2014 (Article)
Wednesday, December 24, 2014
As 2014 comes to a close, we’re slowing down with our digital releases – don’t worry, we’ll pick back up again in 2015 – but since we’ve kept you coming back Wednesday after Wednesday for our weekly Digital Roundup, we thought we’d round up a list of our some of our favorite and funkiest albums to be added to our digital catalog this year, just in case they slipped by you when they were originally introduced. Faze-O, Breakin’ the Funk: If you’ve never before entered into the land of Faze-O, they spent the late ‘70s bringing their brand of funk straight out of Dayton, Ohio, and to keep their

Doing a 180 (and then some): Daft Punk, Alive 1997 / Alive 2007 (Article)
Tuesday, December 23, 2014
Get the Alive Box Set Get Alive 2007 Get Alive 1997 Nowadays most music fans know Daft Punk for last year’s absurdly – but not inappropriately – popular single, “Get Lucky.” Before that, they were predominantly known for their previous #1 hit, 2001’s “One More Time.” Between those two efforts, however, the helmet-wearing robot rockers released an album that earned them their first two Grammy Awards: one for Best Electronic / Dance Album, one for Best Dance Recording for the album’s lone single, “Harder Better Faster Stronger (Alive 2007).” Yes, the title of the single’s a bit of a tip-off: the

Doing a 180: The First Wave of Genesis Reissues Hit Vinyl (Article)
Tuesday, December 23, 2014
Get Nursery Cryme Get Foxtrot Get Selling England By The Pound Hey, remember back in late November when we released the first wave of our Genesis CD reissues – you know, the ones we’re now putting out individually that were originally part of the Genesis 1970-1975, Genesis 1976-1982, and Genesis 1983-1998 collections – and we said that the vinyl versions were going to be following them in a week? Uh, yeah, that didn’t happen. Of course, if you went looking for them that week, then you probably already knew that, so we hope you’ll allow us to say that we’re sorry for the slight delay, but as

Once Upon a Time in the Top Spot: Linkin Park, “In the End” (Article)
Monday, December 22, 2014
13 years ago today, the hard rockers who were recently named 2014’s Biggest Rock Band in the World Right Now by Kerrang! took their first real step toward world domination when they earned their very first #1 on Billboard’s Alternative Rock chart. Linkin Park found commercial success with their very first album, 2000’s Hybrid Theory, but the success was a gradual one, with the band slowly but surely winning over listeners over the course of the album’s first three singles, “One Step Closer” (released September 28, 2000), “Crawling” (March 1) and “Papercut” (September 2001). Only a few weeks

Bob Lefsetz: Welcome To My World - "WABC All American Survey for Week 15 December 1964" (Article)
Friday, December 19, 2014
1. "Come See About Me" The Supremes My favorite Supremes cut! A Holland-Dozier-Holland composition, it's all about the groove. I distinctly remember dancing to this at the following year's bar mitzvah parties. That's right, some tracks are so rhythmic they incite us to get up from our chairs and ask Nancy or Betty or Jennifer to dance. And it's not about them so much as us. We hold our heads high in the air as we sing along. At least I did! 2. "I Feel Fine" The Beatles The flip side was "She's A Woman," number 7 on this list, and the funny thing is I never dug it back then but it resonates

Digital Roundup: 12/17/2014 (Article)
Wednesday, December 17, 2014
New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes: J Mascis, Martin + Me: By the time J Mascis finally got around to releasing his first album under his own name in 1996, many critics – most of them old-school Dinosaur Jr. fans – were muttering, “You might as well,” since the band’s most recent album, 1994’s Without a Sound, found Mascis as the sole founding member remaining in the ranks. (As it happens, it was also their most commercially successful album up to that point.) Whether it’s because he was toying with the idea of doing away with band name altogether or just because he felt like it, Martin

Happy Anniversary: Debbie Gibson, “Only in My Dreams” (Article)
Tuesday, December 16, 2014
28 years ago today, Debbie Gibson released her first single, a self-composed track which ultimately climbed all the way to the #4 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Not too bad for a 16-year-old, eh? “Only in My Dreams” was written by Gibson in 1984, two years before she actually recorded it for her debut album, Out of the Blue, but when she spoke to Rhino earlier this year, she was quick to credit her producer for taking her composition and making it such a success. “Fred Zarr, who produced and co-produced all those hits with me, he took what I was doing in my garage on the four-track and

Wednesday, December 10, 2014
New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes: Thompson Twins, “Bombers in the Sky,” “Come Inside,” “Come Inside/The Saint,” “Groove On,” “Play with Me (Jane),” “Play with Me (Jane)/The Saint,” “Sugar Daddy,” and “The Saint”: You may recall how, a few months back, we chatted with Tom Bailey about how Thompson Twins’ final two studio albums, Big Trash and Queer, had been added to our digital catalog at long last, but now we’ve got eight – count ‘em – eight new additions that’ll make fans of the Twins kick up their heels and get ready to hit the dancefloor. Whether you need them all will depend on

Doing a 180: Otis Redding, The Dock of the Bay (Article)
Tuesday, December 9, 2014
Wow, we’re getting the strangest sense of déjà vu all of a sudden… Yes, that’s right: yesterday our Mono Mondays release was Otis Redding’s The Dock of the Day, and today we’re issuing the very same album on 180-gram vinyl. As such, what can we tell you – besides, of course, that it’s going to sound staggeringly good when you give it a spin – that we didn’t cover in our previous piece on this classic effort? Well, first of all, although we tackled the fact that Redding co-wrote the title track with Steve Cropper, we didn’t really get into the fact that Redding helped composed several other
