Official update on Genesis Lamb Lies Down on Broadway reissue

Genesis have today offered an official update on the delays with the Lamb Lies Down On Broadway super deluxe edition box set.

5LP+blu-ray audio and 4CD+blu-ray audio formats were announced last November, originally for March 2025 release. That later was pushed back to 13 June, and now, a day before that revised date, we are told the boxes will come in “Autumn 2025”.

The actual statement is as follows:

We deeply apologise to fans who have been kept in The Waiting Room to receive their orders for THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition box set. Due to unforeseen production issues, the release planned for 13 June has unfortunately been delayed until late Autumn 2025. We understand you’ve been patiently Counting Out Time, and will update with the final delivery date as soon as It is available.

Official statement from Genesis

Presumably we’ll get a specific release date nearer to the time, but it will likely be close to a year after the original announcement.

Brian Wilson dies aged 82

Brian Wilson, co-founder of the Beach Boys, has died at the age of 82.

His family announced the passing of the songwriting legend whose news in the last hour, saying “We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away,” his family said in a statement shared online.”We are at a loss for words right now,” they added.

Wilson’s artistic control, songwriting and cutting edge production techniques resulted in many great albums, most notably 1966’s seminal Pet Sounds, a record he created spurred on by his competitive spirit after hearing The Beatles‘ Rubber Soul. Paul McCartney has long acknowledged the influence of Pet Sounds on him and The Beatles In late 1966 and 1967 as they worked on what would become Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

David Bowie and Mick Jagger / Dancing in the Street reissue

David Bowie and Mick Jagger’s 1985 single Dancing in the Street is being reissued on white vinyl for its 40th anniversary.

The song was recorded two weeks before the video was shown at 7pm on the day of Live Aid, just before David Bowie took to the stage at Wembley. In fact, the audio recording and the video were completed, on the same day (29 June 1985), in just 13 hours, with the two stars going directly from the studio to Spillers Millennium Mills in the East End of London to shoot the promo with director David Mallet. The video has been restored from the original film negative, for this celebratory release (scroll down, to check it out).

We had such a laugh doing Dancing in the Street with both the song recorded in the studio and the video done in one day. Remarkable how we pulled it off really. The video is hilarious to watch now. We enjoyed camping it up and trying to impersonate each other’s moves, making it up as we went along. It was the only time David and myself collaborated on anything, which is a real shame.

Mick Jagger, June 2025

The new limited edition vinyl 12-inch single brings together all of the song’s commercially released mixes on one disc. The ‘Clearmountain Mix’ and the ‘Instrumental’ were originally A and B-sides of the seven-inch single, while the ‘Steve Thompson Mix’, the ‘Edit’ and the ‘Dub Mix’ were all on the original 12-inch.

The new 12-inch white vinyl single of Dancing in the Street will be released on 29 August 2025. 30 percent of the retail price from the sale of this single will be donated by David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Parlophone Records to The Band Aid Charitable Trust.

Madonna / Veronica Electronica

Madonna has announced the release of Veronica Electronica, a vinyl-only mini-album that features remixes of tracks from her 1998 album Ray of Light.

This was apparently going to be released at the time, but was ultimately sidelined by Ray of Light’s success and the many singles and remixes issued from it on CD single.

Veronica Electronica features newly edited versions of club remixes by Peter Rauhofer, William Orbit, Sasha, BT, and Victor Calderone, along with the original demo of ‘Gone, Gone, Gone’ – a previously unreleased recording produced by Madonna and Rick Nowels.

This announcement is another seemingly random diversion off the reissue highway that is Warner Music’s now infamous “multi-year catalog series” announcement, from nearly five years ago. Not so much a reissue campaign, more a mirage. No Madge studio albums have been reissued in that time and it was only in February that Madonna appeared to suggest that a Bedtime Stories re-release was on the way.

Veronica Electronica will be released on 25 July 2025 on ‘silver nugget’ coloured vinyl. There is no CD version.

Morten Harket reveals Parkinson’s diagnosis

a-ha frontman Morten Harket has revealed that he has Parkinson’s disease.

The 65-year old singer and songwriter said “I’ve got no problem accepting the diagnosis. With time I’ve taken to heart my 94-year-old father’s attitude to the way the organism gradually surrenders: ‘I use whatever works’”.

Morten has known about this for a while, saying “Part of me wanted to reveal it. Like I said, acknowledging the diagnosis wasn’t a problem for me; it’s my need for peace and quiet to work that has been stopping me. I’m trying the best I can to prevent my entire system from going into decline. It’s a difficult balancing act between taking the medication and managing its side effects. There’s so much to weigh up when you’re emulating the masterful way the body handles every complex movement, or social matters and invitations, or day-to-day life in general.”

Parkinson’s disease is caused by the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain, and it affects areas of the midbrain that control movement and manage communication between neurons in the brain and muscles. Harket has been receiving treatment at the Mayo Clinic in the United States which has “led to a dramatic improvement in his symptoms” according to a statement posted on the a-ha’s website.

A side effect of this treatment is that it impacts Morten’s voice. He doesn’t know if he’ll be able to sing again or even whether he wants to sing again.

When asked about his concerned fans, Morten says: “Don’t worry about me. Find out who you want to be – a process that can be new each and every day. Be good servants of nature, the very basis of our existence, and care for the environment while it is still possible to do so. Spend your energy and effort addressing real problems, and know that I am being taken care of.”

a-ha have released 11 studio albums since 1985 and Morten has put out six solo albums, the last being 2014’s Brother. SDE wishes him the best in his ongoing treatment.

A more detailed account of Morten Harket’s condition and his treatment can be found on the a-ha website.

Paul McCartney / Batch 4: Japanese mini-LP SHM CDs

Paul McCartney is releasing a fourth batch of albums as limited edition Japanese mini-LP SHM-CDs (compatible with all CD players).

This batch are made up of three studio albums and two live albums, one of which (Amoeba Gig) started life as an EP before being remixed and expanded for 2019 release).

  • Paul is Live (1993) – 2019 remaster
  • Flaming Pie (1997) – 2020 remaster
  • Chaos and Creation in the Backyard (2005) – original mastering
  • New (2013) – original mastering
  • Amoeba Gig (2019) – 2019 remix

Paul is Live was issued after Paul’s New World Tour and featured material from the then recent Off The Ground albums alongside Beatles and Wings hits. Flaming Pie was McCartney’s well received 1997 studio album, which is the last album to be reissued as part of Archive Collection, way back in 2020.

Chaos and Creation in the Backyard hasn’t been reissued and is arguably Paul’s last truly great – and consistent – album, even if subsequent releases had their moments. New from 2013 does have such moments, one of which is the sublime ‘Alligators’, produced by Mark Ronson. The best track on the album wasn’t selected to be any of the five singles.

Finally, Amoeba Gig has a long history. It was originally a four-track 12-inch release from Paul’s June 2007 appearance at Amoeba Music in California to promote the Memory Almost Full album. Since that time it was expanded to 12-tracks and given away free with the Daily Mail in the UK and eventually in 2019 was remixed and expanded again to 21 tracks. It’s that version that is reissued here.

These are sometimes called ‘paper sleeve’ editions and and each is presented as vinyl replica CDs with the usual exacting standards from Japan including OBI-strip, extra booklet with Japanese lyrics, ‘rice paper’ sleeve for disc protection and re-sealable outer clear clear sleeve. Original inner sleeves are recreated as is the original packaging. All of these are gatefolds, except Amoeba Gig.

As usual, these are very limited, but as before the SDE shop has secured a guaranteed allocation and is offering them as a 5CD bundle, which you can order via this link or the buttons below. Strictly one bundle per customer please (multiple orders will be cancelled).

All five are released on 25 July 2025, via Capitol.

More, Pulp - new Pulp album

Pulp / More CD, Vinyl

Pulp will release More, their first studio album in almost 24 years.


Yazoo / Upstairs at Eric’s

Yazoo’s 1982 debut album is reissued on limited edition ‘crystal clear’ vinyl. It features the international hits ‘Don’t Go’ and ‘Only You’.

Take That / Nobody Else

Take That’s last studio album of the original era is reissued for its 30th anniversary. It features the classic ‘Back For Good’, along with ‘Sure’ and ‘Never Forget’. Eight bonus tracks (on both 2CD and 2LP) includes ‘All That Matters to Me’, live recordings from the 1995 Nobody Else Tour, and a brand-new remix of ‘Hanging Onto Your Love’ by Howard Donald.

The Beatles in Mono vinyl box set available, again

The Beatles In Mono vinyl box set has been made available again for the first time since the original release in 2014.

This set contains the first nine mono-released U.K. albums by The Beatles (Please Please Me to ‘The White Album’) along with the American-compiled Magical Mystery Tour LP, and the Mono Masters collection of non-album tracks.

These are pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl LPs with faithfully replicated artwork. Most importantly these are ‘AAA’, all analogue pressings. They were mastered in 2014 for vinyl from quarter-inch master tapes at Abbey Road Studios by GRAMMY®-winning engineer Sean Magee and GRAMMY®-winning mastering supervisor Steve Berkowitz without using any digital technology. Instead, they employed the same procedures used in the 1960s, guided by the original albums and by detailed transfer notes made by the original cutting engineers. These are manufactured for the world at Optimal Media in Germany 

The Beatles In Mono 14LP box set (click image to enlarge)

The box set includes an exclusive large format hardcover book and features essays and a detailed history of the mastering process by Kevin Howlett. The book includes many rare studio photos of The Beatles, fascinating archive documents, and articles and advertisements sourced from 1960s publications.

It’s fair to say that, along with its 2009 CD counterpart, The Beatles in Mono is the high watermark of Fab Four reissues and it’s as close to owning mint 60s originals as you’re going to get. The 14LP set is not cheap at £430 but the median price on Discogs for the original pressing is £1000.

The Beatles In Mono repress is only available via The Beatles official store. Check the one in your local territory, but here’s the UK shop. Ships from 18 July 2025.

Dr. Feelgood album reissues on CD and vinyl

The first four albums by Dr. Feelgood have been remastered and will be reissued on CD and vinyl in July.

This is the Wilko Johnson era of the Canvey Island quartet and the albums in question are 1975’s Down By The Jetty and Malpractice, 1976 live album (and UK number one) Stupidity, and Sneakin’ Suspicion from 1977.

These look to be relatively frill-free remasters on CD and vinyl, but the good news is that they are competitively priced, with some retailers offering CDs at under a tenner and vinyl at sub-£20.

All four albums are reissued on both formats on 25 July 2025, via Parlophone.

John Fogerty / Legacy: The Creedence Clearwater Revival Years

John Fogerty is to release Legacy: The Creedence Clearwater Revival Years, a new album featuring newly recorded versions of some of Fogerty’s most beloved songs.

This has come about because Fogerty now owns the rights to his Creedence Clearwater Revival catalog and the 20-track collection includes new versions of songs such as ‘Proud Mary’ and ‘Bad Moon Rising’ to ‘Fortunate Son’ and ‘Have You Ever Seen the Rain’. Fogerty announced the album from the stage during his sold-out 80th birthday bash last night at NYC’s Beacon Theatre.

For most of my life I did not own the songs I had written. Getting them back changes everything. Legacy is my way of celebrating that—of playing these songs on my terms, with the people I love.

John Fogerty

The album has been produced by Fogerty and his son Shane. Both Shane and his brother Tyler perform throughout the album. Other musicians include Matt Chamberlain, Bob Malone, Bob Glob and Rob Stone. It was mixed by Bob Clearmountain.

Legacy: The Creedence Clearwater Revival Years will be issued on CD and as a 2LP vinyl set on 22 August 2025, via Concord Music.

Bioscope / Gentō

“A Perfect Match Between Progressive Rock and Ambient”, Bioscope is a collaboration between Marillion’s Steve Rothery and Tangerine Dream musical director Thorsten Quaeschning

Bioscope is a new collaborative project from guitarist Steve Rothery, founding member of Marillion and from electronic visionary Thorsten Quaeschning, musical director of Tangerine Dream (and soundtrack guru). Their debut album Gentō will be issued in August.

The album is named after the Japanese term for “magic lantern”, a still-image projection system. Each of the five instrumental tracks takes its inspiration from man’s endearing fascination with the moving image, weaving together Rothery’s emotive, melodic guitar work with Quaeschning’s expansive soundscapes.

The resulting music is described as a “mesmerising journey through light and darkness, memory and imagination”. Elbow’s drummer Alex Reeves contributes to all tracks.


Gentō is available on vinyl and as a CD+Blu-ray digi-pak with the latter featuring the full album in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround and hi-res stereo.

Gentō is released on 22 August 2025 via earMUSIC. If you’re interested you can support SDE by pre-ordering the CD+blu-ray from the SDE shop using this link or the button below.
