Back catalogue: All genres

Review: Prepare to be wowed by this reissue of a classic Roberta Flack album. It is one that is now 50+ years old so comes on special clear vinyl. It topped the charts in 1972, some three years after it was actually released in 1969. Of course, it is best known for the tune 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' which was in Clint Eastwood's movie 'Play Misty for Me'. It went on to stay at number one for six weeks and then won the Grammyr Award for Record of the Year in 1973. Allegedly the record only took 10 hours to complete in its entirety, and what a record it is.

Review: In the late 1960s, Fleetwood Mac was formed by Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green, John McVie and Jeremy Spencer and they went on to become one of the most legendary acts in rock. The Best of Fleetwood Mac (1969-1974) compiles highlights from their early years with Reprise Records and features tracks from seven albums-Then Play On (1969), Kiln House (1970), Future Games (1971), Bare Trees (1972), Penguin (1973), Mystery to Me (1973), and Heroes Are Hard to Find (1974. This collection includes hits like 'Oh Well - Pt. 1' and 'The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)' and so reflects the band's evolving lineup and showcases contributions from nearly every member of the era with extra info from James McNair's liner notes.

Review: Rhino Records delivers a vibrant reissue of Fleetwood Mac's daring double-album, Tusk (1979), now available exclusively on 180g Transparent Light Green 2LP vinyl. This genre-defying masterpiece exemplifies the band's willingness to explore new territories. Lindsey Buckingham's intricate arrangements and diverse influences infuse the album with elements of pop, rock, new wave, and disco. Stevie Nicks shines with powerful vocals on standout tracks like the emotive ballad 'Sara' and the anthemic title track. While initially compared to the monumental success of Rumours, Tusk has since garnered a dedicated following for its boldness and artistic depth. Achieving Platinum certification and topping the UK charts, this reissue celebrates the album's enduring legacy and cements its status as a cult classic.

Review: This special double LP, released for RSD Black Friday, offers a curated selection of Fleetwood Mac tracks pulled from their Super Deluxe releases. Featuring 14 songs, the album spans live performances from the Tusk, Rumours, and Mirage tours, presenting a distilled and impactful listening experience. This version still has a great balance of lesser known tracks with classics like 'The Chain,' and the haunting 'Gold Dust Woman.' The second disk breaks even more classics with 'Hold Me, and 'Songbird'. While there has been the reunion tour releases in the 2000s, there hasn't been a release that promotes their tours of the day like this release has.

Review: Foreigner's upcoming compilation, Turning Back the Time, is a nostalgic journey through the band's illustrious career, featuring 18 tracks that span their greatest hits and an exciting new addition. The compilation, timed to coincide with the band's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, includes classics like 'Feels Like the First Time', 'Cold As Ice' and 'Juke Box Hero,' showing the band's signature blend of rock and melodic strength. The jam packed collection also features a special surprise with the previously unreleased track 'Turning Back the Time'. This fresh cut, co-written by Mick Jones and Marti Frederiksen, is a reflective ode that looks back on the journey of growing up and the impact of music. With a vibrant melody and heartfelt lyrics, it resonates deeply, especially in light of Jones' recent health challenges. Also featured are timeless hits like 'Hot Blooded' and 'I Want to Know What Love Is', alongside lesser-known gems like 'Girl on the Moon'. Overall, a worthy collection that can be otherwise called a greatest hits album.
