Tom Pettyand the Heartbreakers‘ 1996 soundtrack album Songs and Music from the Motion Picture ‘She’s the One’ has been remixed, remastered and ‘re-imagined’ and will be reissued in July.
Family singer Roger Chapman releases his first studio album in over a decade. The album reunites him with faces from his past – including Family’s Poli Palmer as co-writer/producer and Procol Harum’s Geoff Whitehorn who contributes guitar. There appears to be no vinyl edition.
Part of Edel’s ‘ear+eye’ series, this deluxe CD+DVD edition of Live At Montreux 1991 captures the only Montreux appearance of The Moody Blues. The line up includes John Lodge, Justin Hayward, Ray Thomas and Graeme Edge and the DVD offers 5.1 and DTS surround sound.
Now 40 years since its original release, Queen‘s Greatest Hits is the biggest selling album in the UK, having chalked up 6.3m sales. Unfortunately, unless you were lucky enough to grab one of the 1000 signed bundles on their official store (guilty as charged), the reissues to mark this occasion are as dull as ditchwater. A ‘collector’s edition’ CD with a slipcase, anyone? A cassette? Frankly, it’s an embarrassing, minimum-effort approach.
Ben Liebrand‘s long-running remix compilation series continues with a new 4CD set featuring remixed classics from the Seventies and Eighties. A decent collection if you can forgive the design.
