The unreleased material has many entries, an example, such as a demo, take and rehearsal recorded 1960-1969. Some records were not published in the official album and bootlegs.
During the post-production of Dennis Hopper’s surreal and unjustly-forgotten South American anti-imperialist western, The Last Movie (which would prove disastrous for his career upon release, yet go on to become a cult classic and one of Hopper’s own proudest achievements), the actor and director was the subject of a sort of loose, biographical documentary, filmed around his Taos, New Mexico home as he wandered the desert, got wasted, and philosophized about life (see tag line: “I’d rather die fighting than die getting fat”). American Dreamer would share in the fate of The Last Movie and quickly disappear into obscurity, but among the film’s remains lays a beautiful acoustic soundtrack, featuring original compositions courtesy of Hopper’s personal acquaintances, such as John Buck Wilkin and Chris Sikelianos, as well as better-known performers such as Gene Clark and gonzo-mime-band The Hello People.
Like Mr. Universe, Glory Road put to shame many of the albums Deep Purple recorded after Ian Gillan's departure. Play this album next to Purple's post-Gillan 1975 release Come Taste the Band, and it becomes clear just how superior some of Gillan's solo albums were…
Let It Be… Naked is a version of the 1970 Let It Be album by The Beatles that was remixed and remastered under the direction of Paul McCartney. It was first released in November 2003.
From the notes:The first time Fritz Busch had conquered the concert stage in London had been on 4 November 1929, when he directed Brahms' Violin Concerto at the Queen's Hall, featuring the London Symphony Orchestra and young prodigy Yehudi Menuhin. It is, however, strange to see that Fritz Busch recordings from London (apart from any recording sessions made in connection with the Glyndebourne Festival) date from only the short phase of 1934/36.

A double CD set tracing the best of the one and only Pretty Things. This compilation takes us through the period in the late sixties and early seventies when the band were at the cutting edge of the Psychedelic movement. Includes 'SF Sorrow is Born', 'Parachute' and 'L.S.D'. Highly recommended for anyone who loves the Beatles' Revolver, Pink Floyd's Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and the Dukes of Stratosphear.
Paul McCartney’s Egypt Station Traveller’s Edition, a strictly limited edition, one-time-only pressing of his acclaimed, chart-topping 2018 album, will be released by Capitol Records on 10 May. Alongside the original album, the set will be a veritable treasure trove for McCartney admirers, limited to 3000 numbered editions and containing a wealth of extras.
Itzhak Perlman: The Complete Warner Recordings embraces every aspect of Perlman's art. It contains concertos (the ‘essential' concertos, of course, but also more rarely-heard works, including Perlman's own commissions from living composers); other pieces for violin and orchestra; chamber music; recital and crossover repertoire (including jazz, ragtime and klezmer), and even a disc that focuses on Perlman as narrator and (briefly) opera singer. The recordings document his collaborations with the world's greatest orchestras and an array of superlative fellow-soloists and conductors, including Martha Argerich, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Daniel Barenboim, Plácido Domingo, Carlo Maria Giulini, Bernard Haitink, Lynn Harrell, Yo Yo Ma, Zubin Mehta, Seiji Ozawa, André Previn and Pinchas Zukerman.
