• Track Listing

It’s time to celebrate 40 years of "Permanent Waves," Rush fans! "The Spirit of Radio" and "Freewill" are still being cranked on car stereos all over the world; those all-time Rush classics plus "Jacob’s Ladder," "Entre Nous," "Different Strings" and `"Natural Science" made such a stir with critics and fans that the band’s seventh studio album rocketed to platinum status and became their first U.S. Top 5 album. You’ll see unreleased photos all through the booklets that come in the deluxe editions here (28 pages with the CDs, eight pages with the 180-gram vinyl), which add a wealth of live 1980 recordings from the "Permanent Waves" world tour: "Beneath, Between & Behind," "The Spirit of Radio," "Closer to the Heart," "A Passage to Bangkok" (last four in Manchester), "Freewill," "Xanadu," "By-Tor & the Snow Dog" (last three in London) and more. Super deluxe edition brings you the 2-CD and triple-gatefold-vinyl editions (including the Abbey Road Mastering Studios 2015 master that’s included in the 2-CD edition) plus a 40-page hardcover book packed with unreleased photos and an exclusive essay. It’s been rough having to come to terms with the loss of Neil Peart, but it’s wonderful to celebrate the anniversary of this indelible achievement by Neil, Geddy and Alex. Mercury.602508630231 This is as about as "highly anticipated" as we’ll get in rock this year: Pearl Jam’s first new studio album in seven years. The band’s guitarist/co-founder Mike McCready called the road to this new album an "exciting and experimental road map to musical redemption." Indeed, they surprise with the first single here: "Dance of the Clairvoyants," which is more electro-funk than it is grunge. They also get into some trippy territory and range from driving rockers to post-punk angst on this dazzlingly diverse new work. Get your copy on CD or double vinyl: the aforementioned single plus "Who Ever Said," "Superblood Wolfmoon," "Quick Escape," "Seven O’Clock," "Take the Long Way," "Buckle Up" and more! Monkeywrench.602508670213 . The last LP that Jimi authorized during his lifetime was "Band of Gypsys" (1970), which features six songs from the sets Hendrix-Cox-Miles played at the Fillmore East on January 1, 1969. This is an electrifying jolt of R&B, heavy funk, hard rock and sultry soul, and it’s a thing of beauty to own on 180-gram vinyl (that’s a first in the U.S.). An eight-page booklet and a reprint of a classic Capitol Records poster come with "Who Knows," "Machine Gun," "Changes," "Power to Love," "Message to Love" and "We Gotta Live Together." Historic, and still a thrill. Capitol.602527567822 Trent Reznor has been such a household name for so long that it’s hard to fathom his rise out of nowhere, but this was it: the 1989 album that saw him become the new voice of industrial music. He married emotion and songcraft with the relentless drive of the drum machine, and paired raging guitars with walls of synths in a way that proved hugely influential. Overseen by Reznor, this 2010 remaster not only boasts fantastic sound derived from the original masters but also the B-side to the "Sin" single: their Queen cover "Get Down, Make Love" produced by Al Jourgensen! New artwork comes with that and "Sin" plus "Head Like a Hole," "Something I Can Never Have," "Terrible Lie," "Sanctified" and the rest of this watershed album on CD or double vinyl. Universal/Nothing.602547813398 The Allmans’ last Top 10 release, this 1979 studio album kicks off with the big hit "Crazy Love" and continues to rock hard through "Can’t Take It with You," "Pegasus," "Blind Love" and "Try It One More Time," which join the straight-up slow blues "Need Your Love So Bad" and the delicate album closer "Sail Away." Their final Capricorn LP is a gem that’s ripe for rediscovery! Mercury.602577687440 The 1979 documentary and this companion album were both worth the price of admission if only for the Who’s literally explosive version of "My Generation" on The Smother Brothers Comedy Hour (’67), wouldn’t you say? This double heavyweight vinyl reissue brings you that, ’60s TV performances of "Magic Bus" and "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere," their Woodstock renditions of "Pinball Wizard," "See Me, Feel Me" and "Sparks," killer versions of "Baba O’Riley," "Won’t Get Fooled Again" (last two at Shepperton Studios, May 1978), "I Can’t Explain" (Twickenham Film Studios, August 1965), "Long Live Rock" (Olympic Studios, June 1972) and more! MCA.602577687501 Its concept was weighty: the tale of a ’60s mod struggling to find himself, intermingled with a study of split personality (itself a metaphor for The Who’s internal battles). But the music on "Quadrophenia" instantly struck all who heard it, helping the 1973 album rocket to #2. This deluxe replica double-vinyl reissue includes their classic hits "Love, Reign O’er Me," "5:15" and "The Real Me" plus "The Punk and the Godfather," "I’m One," "Bell Boy" and more. You also get songs not on the original release—"Get Out and Stay Out," "Four Faces" and "Joker James"—plus the original mod-era hits "Green Onions" Booker T. & the M.G.’s, "Da Doo Ron Ron" Crystals, "Be My Baby" Chiffons, "Louie Louie" Kingsmen and more! Geffen.602577981104 Recorded just as Richard and Linda were about to enter into religious seclusion, this 1975 LP overflows with beauty, contemplation and a compelling air of mystery. It’s a more spartan production than its predecessors and every bit as riveting: "Beat the Retreat," "Dimming of the Day/Dargai," "For Shame of Doing Wrong," "Streets of Paradise," "Night Comes In" and more. 180-gram vinyl pressing! Island.602577981111 There are somber moments on this 1975 LP, but all in all Richard and Linda produced a more upbeat album with this release than they did with their 1974 debut. This is another UK folk-rock essential full of crucial Thomposon songs, and another new 180-gram vinyl pressing: "I’ll Regret It All in the Morning," "Smiffy’s Glass Eye," "A Heart Needs a Home," "The Egypt Room," "Old Man Inside a Young Man" and more! Island.607396536917 Lilly’s fourth album is her most reflective work yet, a balancing act between rough rock ’n’ roll and tender country that exudes an almost bold vulnerability. Her guests include Amanda Shires, Aaron Lee Tasjan and, for the first time on record, her famous singer-songwriter father John Hiatt. Listen on CD or 150-gram vinyl: "Rae," "P-Town," "Little Believer," "Move," "Scream," the title song and more! New West.607396537013 After moving from St. Louis to L.A. in 2018, Pokey found himself descending into emotional darkness and mental unraveling—until he started to regain his spiritual footing as he started working on this new album. Pokey calls this "Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan hanging out with chanson singers and French jazz bands," but you’ll recognize his own distinct musical voice across "End of My Rope," "Fallen Angel," "Carry On," "Just the Same," "Lucky Sometimes," the title track and more. Hope battles despair in intriguing fashion on CD or vinyl! New West.634457266216 People have likened Mapache’s sound—acoustic folk jams laced with cosmic country—to the Grateful Dead, but there’s more than that going on on this new album. These sounds will take you from Bakersfield to Mexico to Hawaii as the L.A. duo delight with easygoing charm and airtight harmonies on "Life on Fire," "Read Between the Lines," "Cactus Flower," "See Through," "Cowboy," "Coyote" and more. CD or limited-edition yellow vinyl! Yep Roc.634457268432 Kim celebrates the 20th anniversary of her album "Glimmer" with this set of new recordings of those lovely songs. She revisits all 14 "Glimmer" songs, but instead of the pop sheen of the original album she opts for a stripped-down, raw sound here, reducing each tune to its essence: "Come Around," "Long Way Back," "Good at Secrets," "Keep Me," "Lay It Down," "So It Goes" and more! (Vinyl LP only includes 10 tracks, but its download code Yep Roc.715187952317 The acclaimed country singer-songwriter follows her 2017 debut "Get Drunk and Cry" with this album dominated by songs of romantic travail but buoyed by promises of hope and happiness. The singles "Dang Dallas" and "Cold Comfort" join her moving ode to Graham Parsons, "Joshua Tree," plus "Cheater," "Change," "Untold" and more new gems by this talented songstress (and host of A&E’s "Home.Made"). CD or vinyl! Curb.729920164196 If Stevens’ new album makes you think "new age," then it’s mission accomplished. He teamed with his step-father (and record label co-owner) Lowell Brams to painstakingly re-create the vintage sonics of the original new age composers, who rounded and softened the synthesizer sound to create dreamy, hypnotic soundscapes like these. "The Unlimited," "Ousia," "Agathon," "Misology," "Palinodes," "Ataraxia" and the rest of these mesmerizing pieces come your way on CD, vinyl or limited-edition yellow vinyl. Includes contributions by Sun O))), Yuuki Matthews (of the Shins), Thomas Bartlett (a.k.a. Doveman) and more! Asthmatic Kitty.772532141017 This Canadian songstress portrayed Janis Joplin in "Love, Janis," became a judge on "Canadian Idol" and notched some big pop hits in Canada. Sass has always had a blues edge to her singing, but this new album is her first expressly devoted to the blues. It’s a raw, earthy gem, and her first release in nearly a decade: "One Way Out," "Am I Wrong," "My Babe," "Leaving Trunk," "Too Much Alcohol" and more on CD or vinyl! Stony Plain.821229000080 Duane and Gregg made these 1968 demos with the Tallahassee-based band the 31st of February, a group that featured a young drummer named Butch Trucks. A brief but significant chapter in the Allmans story, this collection (which first came out in ’72) features an early version of "Melissa" plus "Morning Dew," "God Rest His Soul," "Come Down and Get Me," "I’ll Change for You" and more! Allman Brothers Band.821229000127 Actually, Duane and Gregg were still billed as Allman Joys when they made these 1966 studio recordings. These first came out in ’73, debut now on CD and come to vinyl for the first time in over 45 years! Derived from the original master tapes are "Gotta Get Away," "Oh John," "Street Singer," "Spoonful," "Stalling for Time," "You’ll Learn Someday," "Bell Bottom Britches" and more. Allman Brothers Band.821229000141 First time on CD and first time on vinyl in over half a century! Duane and Gregg’s pre-Allman Brothers Band group recorded these tracks in ’67, and they’ve been newly mastered from the original tapes: "Out of the Night," "So Much Love," "Nothing but Tears," "I’ve Been Trying," "Bells," "Cast Off All My Fears" and more. Allman Brothers Band.821229000165 The second LP (’68) by Hour Glass finds Duane playing guitar and electric sitar and Gregg covering organ, piano, guitar and vocals. A year later, the Allman Brothers Band were (spectacularly) born; these pre-ABB tracks return now to vinyl for the first time in over 50 years and debut on CD: "Changing of the Guard," "To Things Before," "Down in Texas," the title song, their take on "Norwegian Wood" and more! Allman Brothers Band.8435395501993 In ’67, Scott Walker began the solo career that would see him become one of the most enigmatic singers on the outskirts of pop. But in ’66 he was riding high on the charts with the Walker Brothers. This LP from that year includes the title smash and UK hit "(Baby) You Don’t Have to Tell Me" plus "I Need You," "Don’t Fight It," their take on "People Get Ready" and more. CD or vinyl! Elemental.8435395502600 Bacharach’s second A&M LP (’69) is a quite unusual one, featuring his voice on just one song, an array of session singers on the others and several instrumentals. The unequivocal star of the show: the masterful songs of Bacharach/David including the title track, "Do You Know the Way to San Jose," "I’ll Never Fall in Love Again," "Promises, Promises," "This Guy’s in Love with You," "Any Day Now" and more. CD or vinyl! Elemental.848064009788 After making early recordings for the Takoma label, Robbie Basho moved to Vanguard, where he recorded the LPs "Voice of the Eagle" and "Zarthus." Well, it turns out those LPs were recorded during one marathon early-’70s session—as was a third album that went undiscovered ’til 2009. Some of those tracks briefly appeared digitally, but now the whole thing makes its first appearance in any physical format. Some of these songs morphed into later Basho tracks, and you’ll recognize some of the Native American themes here, but this remains quite a discovery for fans of this acoustic guitar virtuoso: "Night Way," "Thunder Sun," "Thunder Love," "Death Song" and more on CD or double clear vinyl (limited to 1000 copies)! Real Gone Music.858275059816 This female quartet from Madrid have already earned worldwide acclaim and fans with their first two garage-rockin’ album.

They sing in English and Spanish here, and get their point across regardless as you hear "Good Bad Times," "Riding Solo," "Boy," "Burn," "Take Me Back" and more on CD or vinyl! Mom + Pop.8719262011410 Nowadays, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi and their magnificent band are one of the most surefire SOLD OUT! acts on the planet.

They fuse blues, gospel and rock in thrilling fashion, with Derek’s otherworldly slide guitar simply amazing all through the proceedings.

This is a sweet reissue: three transparent blue vinyl LPs in a gatefold sleeve, limited to 1000 copies! Music on Vinyl.888072106789 The songs have a classic feel to them, but Logan’s dark-toned sound and moody noir lyricism combine to put a highly distinctive spin on country music.
