Sing Out! features a stellar line-up of acoustic performances by Bay Area folk heroes, including Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, Country Joe McDonald, Kate Wolf, Rosalie Sorrels, and a percussion set by the Dead’s drummers – billed as the Rhythm Devils. The event was described by Wavy Gravy as a “mini-Woodstock,” and it is the last major show to be mixed and recorded by famed Grateful Dead soundman Owsley Stanley, aka “Bear.” It is also the final live recording he made of any members of the Grateful Dead.

Following on from the success of 2020's deluxe reissue of 'Vienna', Chrysalis Records are proud to release a 40th Anniversary of the bands second album with Midge Ure, 'Rage In Eden'. Originally released in October 1981 and like the bands previous two albums, it was produced by Conny Plank (Kraftwerk, Can, Neu!), this time recorded at Conny's studio in Cologne during the summer of '81.

Intrada announces the premiere release of James Horner's 1981 score to Universal Pictures film Deadly Blessing. In the early '80s, Horner's career was just starting to take off and he'd scored a series of horror films, including Humanoids from the Deep, The Hand, and Wolfen. Even though early in his career, Horner had an undeniable gift for human emotion and the mechanics of film drama and it is on full display here. Deadly Blessing presented an evocative, eccentric canvas and partnered him with the hot new master of suspense, Wes Craven.
