It doesn’t exactly count as breaking news to learn that the Grateful Dead had a tendency to tour, which means it’s far from a shock to find that those tours often took them to the Pacific Northwest, but it might well be a surprise for you to learn that Dead.net is on the cusp of releasing a full set of the band’s performances in that region during 1973 and 1974. PACIFIC NORTHWEST ’73-’74: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS will be released on September 7, and it contains 19 discs worth of live performances – that’s six shows, in case you’re curious – that were recorded at the Grateful Dead’s shows at P.N

Back in October 2017, Rhino released the first of what would turn into a series of Whitesnake reissues with the band’s self-titled 1987 album, a series which continued in November 2017 with the reissue of SLIP OF THE TONGUE. 2018 brought the band’s fans a pair of live albums – THE PURPLE TOUR (LIVE) and UNZIPPED, but it’s a new year now, which means it’s time to venture back into Whitesnake’s studio discography. On March 8, Rhino will be celebrating the 35th anniversary of Whitesnake’s SLIDE IT IN by releasing an Ultimate Special Edition of the album, a 7-disc set – that’s 6 CDs and a DVD –

When discussing artists who hit their creative and commercial stride in the ‘70s, you can’t end the conversation without talking about James Taylor, whose hits during the course of the decade included “Sweet Baby James,” “Fire And Rain,” “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight,” “Walking Man,” “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You),” “Mexico,” “Shower The People” and Carole King’s “You’ve Got A Friend.” Now, Taylor’s early catalog is getting the reissue treatment it so richly deserves. On July 19, Rhino will release THE COMPLETE WARNER BROS. ALBUMS: 1970-1976 as a 6-CD set as well as a 6-LP set. The

One of the coolest things about Prince – and rest assured that the list of cool things about Prince is a long and formidable one – was the way he would offer up some of his songs to other artists. Granted, many of those songs were given to folks who were signed to his own label, Paisley Park Records, but it doesn’t change the fact that they were awesome songs. And what of those artists who weren’t part of his label’s roster? Who can forget the surprise they felt when they first discovered that Prince had written “Manic Monday,” or when they discovered that he’d penned a tune for Kenny Rogers

As you may have noticed, we’ve been teasing the impending reissue of Jackson Browne’s classic 1978 album RUNNING ON EMPTY, and if you think we’re done with the teasing, then you must not realize that the newly-remastered version of the album doesn’t come out until July 12 here in the States, August 16th internationally. With that much time left until it hits the shelves of your friendly neighborhood record store, of course we’re going to tease it some more! Your latest sampling of how great this new remaster of the album sounds is actually a two-fer: “The Load-Out,” which – as ever – remains

They called him “Sweet Baby James,” in no small part because he wrote and recorded a song with that very title, but self-provided nickname or not, James Taylor carved himself a musical legacy filled with numerous singles which proved nearly ubiquitous throughout the ‘70s, including “Fire And Rain,” “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight,” “Walking Man,” “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You),” “Mexico,” “Shower The People” and Carole King’s “You’ve Got A Friend.” Finally, Taylor’s early catalog is getting the reissue treatment it so richly deserves: on July 19, Rhino will release THE COMPLETE WARNER

When The Replacements released their 1988 album DON’T TELL A SOUL, the end result proved to be the most commercially successful album of the band’s career, but that doesn’t mean that they were happy with how it sounded. Indeed, it’s well-documented that the LP was just a little too smoothly-polished for the band’s liking – Paul Westerberg famously said, “I thought the little things I’d cut in my basement were closer to what I wanted” – but what you may not realize is that the album’s producer, Matt Wallace, wasn’t particularly thrilled with it, either, having not been the one in charge of

The legend of Screamin’ Ray Daniels is one that... Well, frankly, it’s not very substantial outside of Doors fandom, but if you recognize the name, then you know it’s a pseudonym that keyboardist Ray Manzarek utilized as his credit on a few songs during the era of THE SOFT PARADE. If you hadn’t heard this factoid before, well, you’re in luck, because you’re about to hear one of the songs in question: Rhino is set to release an expanded version of the album in celebration of its 50th anniversary, and we’ve opted to offer up an early stream of Screamin’ Ray Daniels’ performance of “Roadhouse

Picture it: Warner Brothers in September 1986. Miles Davis, world-renowned trumpeter, had just released his first album for the label after spending the preceding 30 years on Columbia. TUTU, the album in question, was well-received, but – brace yourself, people – it was actually the second album that Davis had recorded for the label, since the first album was started but ended up being shelved. Does this sound familiar? Of course it does: we’ve told this story a couple of times now, but it’s important to tell it again, because we’re on the cusp of this heretofore-lost album being available for
