'Meteora', Linkin Park's ground-breaking second album, was released in March 2003 and included the global hit singles 'Somewhere I Belong', 'Faint', 'Numb', 'Breaking the Habit' and 'From the Inside'. It has sold over 16 million copies globally and has been certified multi-platinum, platinum, or gold in 15 countries. To mark the 20th anniversary of this landmark release, it is being re-issued in multiple formats: This 3CD set features the original album plus unreleased bonus song 'Lost' - a fully realized track from the 2002 album recording sessions featuring stunning vocals from Chester Bennington. There are two bonus discs which include rare tracks, demos and live performances.

'To Be Held' (Silent Wish Records) is the first single from the 'utterly brilliant' ('Time Out') singer and songwriter, the multi-award winning Ian Shaw. This song, co-written and produced by Jamie Safir (Kylie, Birdy, Will Young) is from the brand-new collection 'Greek Street Friday' released later this year on all formats. With an ace band, which includes drummer Ian Thomas (George Michael, Van Morrison, Celine Dion) and guitarist David Preston (Melody Gardot, Curtis Stigers), this collection will also feature, on a beautiful new take of Rickie Lee Jones' 'Blinded By The Hunt', the world-renowned saxophonist Iain Ballamy (Everything But The Girl, Hermeto Pascoal, Loose Tubes).
