Out This Week / 27 January 2014

The Small Faces / Here Come The Nice Immediate Years box

Exemplary quality and presentation for this Small Faces box. The four CDs and four vinyl records within are a treasure-trove of unreleased material and outtakes as well as classic ‘A’ and ‘B’ sides. The book is superb. Highly recommended. 

Transatlantic  / Kaleidoscope 2CD+DVD set

Reunited in 2009, the progressive rock band Transatlantic features current and ex-members of Dream Theater, Marillion, The Winery Dogs, The Flower Kings, and Spock’s Beard. Kaleidoscope is their fourth album and is available in this special three-disc deluxe set as well as a smart 3LP+2CD vinyl package.

• • UK Order: Kaleidoscope
• • USA Pre-order: Kaleidoscope

Morrissey  / Satellite Of Love (live)

This Morrissey heavyweight vinyl 4-track twelve-inch would probably be £15.99 if it was Record Store Day. As it is, it’s a relative bargain on Amazon at less than £6. You need to spend a few more quid to get the seven-inch picture disc. Predictably, that has an exclusive B-side.

• • UK Order: Satellite Of Love (Live) [12″  Vinyl Single]
• • USA Order: Satellite Of Love (180 Gram 12″ Vinyl Single)

David Crosby  / Croz

As well as a new release from Moz, we have here Croz, the first studio album from David Crosby in 20 years. Features the talents of Mark Knopfler and Wynton Marsalis amongst others.

• • UK Order: Croz
• • USA Order: Croz

Sheryl Crow / Feels Like Home

Released in the US last year, Sheryl Crow‘s ‘country’ album, Feels Like Home, (recorded in Memphis) is released in the UK and Europe today.

• • UK Order: Feels Like Home
• • US Order: Feels Like Home

David Lynch  / The Big Dream super deluxe edition box

David Lynch’s second album, last year’s The Big Dream, is issued this week as a Super Deluxe Edition box set. More generous with extras that 2012’s Crazy Clown Time SDE, this 3CD+7″vinyl set includes an instrumental version of the album so you can listen to the record in what we like to call ‘soundtrack’ mode. Only 500 copies of this worldwide.

Uncle Tupelo  / No Depression 2CD Legacy Edition

Expanded to two discs, the original 1990 Uncle Tupelo album now benefits from 22 bonus tracks, including the CD debut of the Not Forever, Just For Now demo tape. 

Strange Cruise  / Strange Cruise

First time on CD for this short-lived Steve Strange outfit. The Mike Hedges produced album was originally issued in 1986 and this Cherry Red Records re-release adds a few bonus tracks.
