Bill Haley – The Warner Brothers Years And More (1999) [6CDs, Box Set]

Bill Haley - The Warner Brothers Years And More (1999) [6CDs, Box Set]

The rating of this six-CD set is no joke — yes, Bill Haley was supposed to be an irrelevant artist during the 1960s, but he did, in fact, generate well over 100 good and far-better-than-decent sides that are contained in this set. No, there’s nothing remotely as earth-shattering or important as his best work for Decca from 1954-1955, and even most hardcore fans of that material may find the cost of this set difficult to justify; but take it from someone who shelled out for this box, it’s worth a LOT more than you’d ever guess without hearing it — Haley and his band still knew how to work a song, as demonstrated several dozen times on this set.

Showaddywaddy – Complete Singles Collection 1974-1987 (2015) [33CDs, Box Set]

Showaddywaddy - Complete Singles Collection 1974-1987 (2015) [33CDs, Box Set]

Showaddywaddy had more UK hits in the 1970s than any other act…including Abba! From their winning appearance on an edition of ‘New Faces’, the ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ of the day, to become runners-up in the series’ ‘All Winners Final’, it took just a matter of months until the band released and secured their debut hit, ‘Hey Rock And Roll’, which reached #2 in the UK Singles Chart.

Johnny Burnette – The Train Kept a Rollin’ Memphis to Hollywood: The Complete Recordings 1955-1964 (2003) [9CDs, Box Set]

Johnny Burnette - The Train Kept a Rollin' Memphis to Hollywood: The Complete Recordings 1955-1964 (2003) [9CDs, Box Set]

If ever there were an act that deserved more than it got, it was Johnny Burnette and the Rock ‘n’ Roll Trio. These three young men — Johnny and his brother Dorsey and guitarist extraordinaire Paul Burlison — were the authentic rockabilly article, hailing, like Elvis Presley, from Memphis proper. They were rawer than Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis put together and at their best more exciting to listen to. And while Burnette went on to write hits for Ricky Nelson and score a few of his own, it’s the Rock ‘n’ Roll Trio sides — none of which ever charted — for which he is most remembered.

Neil Young – Young Shakespeare (2021)

Neil Young - Young Shakespeare (2021)

Just two months after the release of his seminal album After The Gold Rush, Neil Young played a solo show at The Shakespeare Theater, Stratford, CT on January 22 1971. The show was filmed and recorded, and the concert shown on German TV later in 1971. In 2020, while Neil and his team were reviewing his Archive for future projects, Neil re-visited the 16mm film and audio recording of this show that had been preserved in the Archive for almost 50 years. Piecing together the tapes and footage, Neil realized that he had the full concert – the film of which is the earliest live footage of Neil performing that is known to exist.

Iron Maiden - Senjutsu (2021) [Limited Edition, 2CD]

Senjutsu is the band’s first studio album in nearly six years, following The Book of Souls (2015), marking the longest gap between two studio Iron Maiden albums.

Don Henley took some time before completing his highly anticipated third album, The End of the Innocence. Although he manages to duplicate much of the magic of his previous album, Henley has backed off of the synthesizers and expanded his musical palette. He uses background vocals to great effect, whether it’s the tragic ballad “New York Minute” (with vocal group Take 6) or the angry rocker “I Will Not Go Quietly” (with Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses).

The Offspring – Let The Bad Times Roll (2021) [Japanese Edition]

The Offspring - Let The Bad Times Roll (2021) [Japanese Edition]

It’s no understatement that Let the Bad Times Roll, the Offspring’s tenth album, had a bit of a difficult birth. The group started to record material for a sequel to Days Go By not long after its 2012 release, entering the studio with producer Bob Rock in 2013. Not long afterward, they parted ways with their longtime label of Columbia, a process that didn’t go smoothly. Continue reading “The Offspring – Let The Bad Times Roll (2021) [Japanese Edition]”

Popa Chubby - Tinfoil Hat (2021)

Be assured that even dawning on sixty and with a career spanning more than 30 years, Popa Chubby continues to fight against the injustices of this world! And the least we can say about 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic is that it offered him the ‘magnificent’ inspiration that fed into the creation of his new album ‘Tinfoil Hat’. As he writes himself, this record’s creation was self-evident from the beginning of the first lockdown in March. Continue reading “Popa Chubby – Tinfoil Hat (2021)”
