Coming Soon: New Order, Singles (Article)
Thursday, September 8, 2016
Given that they released a new album just about a year ago (MUSIC COMPLETE), it’s a little early to start hassling New Order about when they’re going to put out another new album, but to tide you over ‘til they decide to return to the studio, there’s a compilation arriving tomorrow that’s well worth your time: SINGLES, a 32-track collection of – you guessed it – New Order’s singles. Yes, there have been New Order best-of compilations before, and it’s pointless to pretend that there haven’t been when at least one of them – SUBSTANCE – is arguably as iconic as any studio album in the band’s back

Out Now: The Cure on 180-Gram Vinyl (Article)
Tuesday, September 6, 2016
Back in May, we proudly presented the 180-gram vinyl reissue of The Cure’s Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, along with the re-release of the deluxe CD reissues of the band’s studio albums from Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me all the way back to their debut, Three Imaginary Boys. Now we’re back, and we’ve reissued all of those early Cure albums on 180-gram vinyl, too, so here’s a quick reminder of the six different ways we’re providing you with some of the best (and gloomiest) LPs of the 1980s. Oh, right, and one from 1979, too. THREE IMAGINARY BOYS (1979): featuring “10:15 Saturday Night,” “Fire in Cairo

Doing a 140: From A(retha) to Z(evon) (Article)
Tuesday, September 6, 2016
Okay, okay, we know “Doing a 140” doesn’t have even remotely the same ring as “Doing a 180,” but what can we tell you? These particular reissues are on 140-gram vinyl rather than 180-gram vinyl, so we felt like it was better to be factual. It’s just the right thing to do, you know? (Also, it’s the legal thing to do, so there’s that as well.) Warren Zevon, A QUIET NORMAL LIFE: THE BEST OF WARREN ZEVON: Anyone who’s read I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead: The Dirty Life & Times of Warren Zevon knows that Warren’s ex-wife, Crystal, cleared up any misconceptions about whether or not the title of Zevon’s

Out Now: The Monkees, 50 / MONKEES FOREVER (Article)
Friday, August 26, 2016
For all the press that The Monkees’ GOOD TIMES! album has been getting, the fact that the band has a very successful new LP shouldn’t overshadow the fact that this year marks the 50th anniversary of Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Mike Nesmith, and Peter Tork first joining forces as recording artists and, yes, TV stars, too. To celebrate this fact as well as to help educate the youngsters whose first encounter with The Monkees is the GOOD TIMES! album, we’ve put together two best-of compilations tied to the guys hitting the big 5-0. First up: 50, a 3-disc compilation which features – surprise! – 50

This Day in 1967: Joni Mitchell’s First UK Show (Article)
Tuesday, August 23, 2016
49 years ago today, Joni Mitchell performed her first show in the UK. Having performed in a variety of cities throughout the US and Canada, Mitchell made her way across the pond in August 1967 to make her London live debut at the famed Marquee Club, but it’s a testimony to how early in her career she still was at the time that she wasn’t even headlining. Instead, she opened for a band with the none-more-British name of The Picadilly Line…and, no, that’s not a typo: there’s only one “c.” (We checked.) If you’re not familiar with The Picadilly Line, that’s none too surprising, as the band

Happy Anniversary: Led Zeppelin, In Through the Out Door (Article)
Monday, August 22, 2016
37 years ago this month, Led Zeppelin released what would prove to be their final album of all-new material. Its title inspired by the trials and tribulations of battling back from their tax-exile status and getting into the public eye once more, In Through the Out Door was Led Zeppelin’s first new studio album in three years, but in the interim since the release of Presence in 1976, much had gone on in the lives of the band members. As a result, In Through the Out Door has a slightly different feel than some of the albums which preceded it, not least of which because John Paul Jones and

Out Now: Black Sabbath Reissues (Article)
Friday, August 5, 2016
Black Sabbath is currently in the midst of their farewell tour, and if you’re a fan of the band and were already well aware of this sad fact, then we’re sorry for putting it first and foremost in your mind again, but there’s a reason for us having done so: as a way of paying tribute to these heavy metal legends, we’re reissuing the band’s first eight studio albums. It’s a perfect time to take a dip back into their catalog, so we here at Rhino want to make sure that Black Sabbath’s albums are all out there, ready for you to give them another listen. You could probably recite the titles of these

Doing a 180: Have Yourself a Jazzy Friday (Article)
Friday, August 5, 2016
Rhino has made it a point to reissue classic albums on 180-gram vinyl on a regular basis. These are the latest to get that treatment. You're welcome. Charlie Mingus, Blues & Roots (Mono) – You already know Mingus’s work as a jazz man, but you may not be as aware of his appreciation of the blues. Recorded at the behest of Atlantic legend Nesuhi Ertegün, who suggested the album because critics were complaining that Mingus supposedly “didn’t swing enough,” the end result may indeed swing, but it does a whole lot more than that. Miles Davis, Amandla – This was the final collaboration between Davis

Happy Anniversary: Testament, Practice What You Preach (Article)
Thursday, August 4, 2016
27 years ago today, Testament released their third studio album, an effort which found them getting more serious with their lyrics and, possibly not coincidentally, found them securing their first chart placement in the upper half of Billboard’s Top 200 Albums Chart. Recorded at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California, Practice What You Preach was a real line-in-the-sand album for Testament in terms of the topics they were covering in their lyrics, setting aside the more occult-themed lyrics of their previous LPs in favor of getting political and sociological. “We were starting to write more

Oh, and if you’ve looked at the words “Earth, Wind & Fire” and thought, “Ah, I’ve already got a best-of collection,” then reconsider your position at least long enough to keep reading, because you might be surprised at what you’ll learn.
