Amy Ried

UMC and Island are reissuing Amy Winehouse At The BBC, originally released as a box set in 2012, and now available as a 3LP and 3CD. As the original product was predominantly a DVD release, this will be the first time that the two discs 'A Tribute To Amy Winehouse by Jools Holland' and 'BBC One Sessions Live at Porchester Hall' are available as audio-only and so a high proportion of the tracks will be new to DSPs, plus it is the first time the tracks are available on vinyl. The set features tracks from Later with Jools across the years, notably Amy's first performance on the show in 2003 with 'Stronger Than Me', as well as two performances from the Mercury Prize - Take The Box in 2004 and Love Is A Losing Game in 2007.

A 5CD collection featuring the albums Frank, Back To Black and Lioness: Hidden Treasures. In addition to these three albums, the set contains Live In London, a concert recorded at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, London in 2007 and a collection of remixes from Frank and Back To Black, such as a Hot Chip remix of Rehab, and a Kardinal Beats remix of Love Is A Losing Game. These two discs appear on CD for the first time as part of this set.

Amy is an original motion picture soundtrack to the 2015 film of the same name. It was released by Island Records on 30 October 2015. The soundtrack features music by composer Antonio Pinto that was used in the documentary as well as tracks by singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse, the subject of the film. The soundtrack peaked at number 19 on the UK Album Chart on the week of 2 November.
The twenty-three track album features alternative versions of Winehouse's well-known tracks "Tears Dry On Their Own", "Back To Black" and "Love Is A Losing Game"; recordings of "Stronger Than Me", "What Is It About Men", "We're Still Friends" and "Rehab" from rare live sessions; demos tracks "Some Unholy War" and "Like Smoke"…

A 5CD collection featuring the albums Frank, Back To Black, and Lioness: Hidden Treasures. Frank was Amy’s debut album, originally released on 20th October 2003 and features hit single "Stronger Than Me" for which Amy won an Ivor Novello Award in 2004. Back To Black was originally released on October 27th, 2006 and has sold over 16 million copies worldwide to date. It features the singles "Rehab," "You Know I’m No Good," "Back To Black," "Tears Dry On Their Own’ and "Love Is A Losing Game." Lioness: Hidden Treasures is a posthumous compilation album, first released on 2nd December 2011 and notably features the Grammy Award-winning duet "Body and Soul" with Tony Bennett. In addition to these three albums, the set contains Live In London, a concert recorded at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London in 2007, and a collection of remixes from Frank and Back To Black, such as a Hot Chip remix of "Rehab," and a Kardinal Beats remix of "Love Is A Losing Game." These two discs appear on CD for the first time as part of this set.

For a talent like Amy Winehouse, it's safe to say that a regular old "best-of" compilation doesn't feel like a proper encapsulation of a brilliant career that was cut tragically short in 2011. With a voice that contained so much passion, pain, and soul, the best way to experience her work is to just sit back and take it all in. Featuring her 2003 debut, Frank, as well as her R&B-charged 2006 follow-up Back to Black and the 2011 B-sides compilation Lioness: Hidden Treasures, The Album Collection provides the opportunity to do just that, packaging the singer's studio work into a neat little box set that gives you everything you need to take a journey through her discography.

Sony has packaged this album like a 1980s disc of music to snog by, but the saxophonist Amy Dickson’s new release is an intriguing and entirely serious collection of recent works by Australian composers, works she did much to create. The title work, premiered by Dickson in 2012, is a late score by Peter Sculthorpe. The first movement is sun drenched and full of yearning, the saxophone soaring over a teeming orchestra; the second is a more unsettled expression of homesickness. Ross Edwards’s concerto entitled the Full Moon Dances – recorded, unlike the rest, live in concert – is elegantly scored and evocative, especially in the opening Mantra, in which the saxophone interweaves with the orchestral soloists, and in the pulsing, almost Stravinsky-esque First Ritual Dance. But it is Brett Dean’s 2007 flute concerto The Siduri Dances, here arranged for saxophone, which offers the most wide-ranging demonstration of Dickson’s mastery with its note-bending, buzzing effects and hectic rhythms.
