COMING SOON: THE MONKEES’ SELF-TITLED DEBUT GETS A SUPER DELUXE EDITION (Article)
Monday, September 29, 2014
Monkees fans, it’s time to stop singing “This Doesn’t Seem To Be My Day.” We know you’ve been chomping at the bit to find out more specifics about the so-called super deluxe edition of the Monkees’ self-titled debut ever since our pal Andrew Sandoval acknowledged its impending arrival during the band’s official convention earlier this year, but your long wait is at an end: you’re finally getting all the details on the three-disc, 100-track set. If you’ve ever owned a copy of The Monkees in the past, then you’ll obviously recognize the first 24 tracks on Disc 1, a.k.a. the original mono and

Digital Roundup: 9/24/2014 (Article)
Wednesday, September 24, 2014
New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes: Echo & The Bunnymen, Reverberation: Yes, diehard Bunnymen fans, your long wait is over: Reverberation, the lone album recorded by the band during the brief period when Ian McCulloch had decamped and Noel Burke had replaced him at the microphone, has finally been added to our digital catalog. Although the album is easily the most obscure album in the Bunnymen’s back catalog, the lone single from the record, “Enlighten Me,” did actually hit #8 on Billboard’s Modern Rock chart. The problem at hand, though, was that Burke, God love him, was no McCulloch

Aquarium Drunkard Presents: September Jukebox 2 (Article)
Monday, September 22, 2014
As I type this, 2,700 miles from my home in Los Angeles, the talking head on the television is reporting that the Autumnal equinox brings the fall season to the Northern Hemisphere tonight, September 22nd. And while I can assure you that summer heat rages on back in Los Angeles, and will continue for another few weeks (at least), for this week's playlist I'll play along. Kicking off with Henri Texier's "Les Labas" we immediately dive into Rahsaan Roland Kirk's "Black Root" before heading to Zambia with Amanaz's "Khala My Friend." Up next is Wendell Stuart and the Downbeaters incredibly soulful

Mono Mondays: Ornette Coleman, The Shape of Jazz to Come (Article)
Monday, September 22, 2014
It hasn’t been so terribly long ago that we shined the spotlight on this week’s Mono Monday release, but since it’s such a classic jazz album that it’s actually enshrined in the National Recording Registry, you could do a lot worse than reading about Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz to Come a second time. Since we wrote that initial piece, however, there’s been a rather depressing development: on July 11, Coleman’s bassist on the album, the legendary Charlie Haden, passed away at the age of 76. Back in 2006, Haden was interviewed by the television series Democracy Now! about various aspects

Rhino Historic Tours: No Nukes (Article)
Friday, September 19, 2014
Back in early June – on the 6th, to be precise – we took a look back at the anniversary of Peace Sunday, an huge concert at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena where over 85,000 turned up to listen to music and, at least theoretically, to promote nuclear disarmament as well. If you go back and check out the piece, you’ll see that the bill featured a pretty impressive lineup, but while the show was undeniably done in an effort to draw attention to an important matter, it’s fair to say that its success was seriously outshined by the far-higher profile event which kicked off 35 years ago today. Organized

Happy Anniversary: The Waterboys, This Is The Sea (Article)
Tuesday, September 16, 2014
29 years ago today, The Waterboys released the album that their leader, Mike Scott, has called “the record on which I achieved all my youthful musical ambitions,” but we’d sum it up thusly: on the band’s first two albums, you saw the crescent, but with This Is The Sea, you saw the whole of the moon. Mick Fitzsimmons of the BBC once wrote that This Is The Sea “may well be listed in the dictionary under the word epic,” and it’s a fair cop: The Waterboys’ self-titled debut was good, their sophomore effort, A Pagan Place, definitely didn’t see the band suffering any sort of slump, but it’s this

Mono Mondays: Milt Jackson, Plenty, Plenty Soul (Article)
Monday, September 15, 2014
This week’s Mono Mondays release comes from the catalog of a top-notch vibraphonist, back when your average musician knew right off the top of his or her head exactly what a vibraphonist was. Kids, if you’re not in the know, you can see a vibraphone by clicking here…and once you’re done taking a gander, be sure to come back here and continue your education by learning a bit about Milt Jackson and his 1957 album, Plenty, Plenty Soul.

RIP Bob Crewe, the Jersey boy behind The Four Seasons (Article)
Friday, September 12, 2014
Word reached us last night of the death of a man whose work we’ve talked about quite a lot here on Rhino.com, not just this year – although lord knows that’s true, thanks to all of the releases tied to the Jersey Boys movie – but for many, many years now: Bob Crewe, whose tremendous contributions to the Four Seasons’ career as a writer and a producer cannot be understated…and that’s only just one of the artists who benefited from his creativity. Born in Newark, New Jersey on November 12, 1930, Stanley Robert Crewe may have started out with grand designs toward becoming an architect, he’d

Now Available: The Best of The Specials (Article)
Thursday, September 11, 2014
A few weeks back, you LP lovers out there were given the thrill of being able to listen to The Specials’ sophomore effort, More Specials, on 180-gram vinyl, but just in case those of you who prefer CDs have been feeling left out, you’re in luck: this week, just for you, we’ve released The Best of The Specials…and just in case you’re concerned, yes, that does include The Special AKA, too. If you’re a longtime Specials fan, however, you may be wondering how this CD differs in content from the 2008 release of the same name that also included a DVD. The answer is that it’s the exact same album
