Rolling Stones Box Set

One has a tendency to think of acts like the Pretty Things in terms of their albums, primarily because most of their singles simply never charted, even in England (and many were never even heard of in the United States), and the albums have been easier to find over the decades since. Actually, it was singles that best defined what most bands were about at the point that the Pretty Things first got together, and they never stopped neglecting that category of release – hence, this three-CD set containing the product of 33 singles (66 sides) over a period of 35 years, from 1964 through 1999.

The Who Hits 50! is a compilation of singles by the English rock band The Who, released in 2014 by Polydor Records. The two-disc set contains every single released by the band in the United Kingdom, with the exceptions of: "A Legal Matter" and "La-La-La-Lies" from 1966; and "Long Live Rock" and the remake of "I'm One" from 1979. At the same time it also contains every single by the band released in the United States throughout their career, with the exceptions of: "The Real Me" from 1974; the reissue of "Substitute" from 1976; and "Long Live Rock" from 1979.

Cat Stevens’ 1971 album Teaser and the Firecat will be reissued in November across five physical formats, including TWO super deluxe editions. The classic album includes songs such as ‘Moonshadow’, ‘Peace Train’, ‘Morning Has Broken’ and ‘The Wind’. It has been remastered at Abbey Road Studios, overseen by original album producer, Paul Samwell-Smith and as with previous reissues, an extensive super deluxe edition is the premium offering.

This 4 'purple' CD+DVD deluxe edition will be accompanied with fully illustrated 64 page hardback booklet, housed in a luxury box. Contents include a 2012 remaster of the original album, featuring non-album b-side, "When A Blind Man Cries"; a 1997 remix by bassist Roger Glover, remixed from the original multi-tracks; the Quad QS as stereo mix, in its undecoded form and including alternate guitar solos on 'Maybe I'm A Leo' and 'Lazy'; and a 2012 mix of In Concert '72. The audio only DVD that accompanies the set includes the original album remastered, "When a Blind Man Cries" remastered, the QUAD mix of the album and bonus 5.1 mixes of "When a Blind Man Cries", "Maybe I'm a Leo" and "Lazy".

Film director Alfonso Cuarón's dystopian science fiction thriller Children of Men is about a near future in which human fertility has nearly ceased, and to represent a setting that is familiar yet disturbing, the compilers of this various-artists soundtrack (there is also an album of the score) have chosen some rock and pop songs by well-known artists dating back to the '60s, some of them, however, presented in versions not so well known. Everybody knows the heavy metal band Deep Purple, but the band's initial American hit, a cover of Joe South's "Hush," doesn't sound much like its more successful "Smoke on the Water" phase. The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" and the Rolling Stones' "Ruby Tuesday" are iconic '60s songs, but they are here performed by Junior Parker and heavily accented Italian singer Franco Battiato, respectively.
