Kreator: Dying Alive [3 CD + DVD + Blu-ray]

Jethro Tull 'Under Wraps: The Unwrapped Edition' brings together two of Ian Anderson's most ambitious and fearless albums - 1984's 'Under Wraps', a Jethro Tull album, and his debut solo album 'Walk Into The Light' released in 1983.<br/><br/>These two albums hold significant importance in Ian Anderson's vast body of work, marking a notable shift from Jethro Tull's established sound. Already recognised as one of his generation's most innovative songwriters, Anderson embraced cutting edge technology, integrating synthesizers and drum machines. This was a considerable move away from the band's traditional folk roots and illustrated their ability to adapt to the evolving musical landscape.<br/><br/>This comprehensive 5CD & Blu-Ray set has been overseen by Ian Anderson and includes both original albums extensively remixed twice by Bruce Soord - '2026 Drums' and 'Original Drums' remixes. These discs also include associated recordings from that period. The fifth CD is a live recording from a BBC Radio 1 concert at The Hammersmith Odeon in 1984 and the Blu-Ray contains stereo and DOLBY ATMOS mixes, along with promo videos from the era. The set comes complete with a 100-page book offering an extensive article on the making of the records.

Nightwish: The greatest 30 years on earth [Earbook / 3 CD + Blu-ray]

Before his death in January, legendary guitarist Jeff Beck revisited concert recordings made by Beck, Bogert & Appice, the power trio he formed in 1972 with drummer/singer Carmine Appice and bassist/singer Tim Bogert. The live music captures the band at the beginning and end of its short-but-influential partnership, with two shows in Japan in 1973 and one of the group's final performances in London a year later.<br/><br/>All three band members were involved in creating LIVE IN JAPAN 1973, LIVE IN LONDON 1974, and the collection is dedicated to Beck and Bogert, who died in 2023 and 2021, respectively. The set includes an expansive booklet with extended liner notes detailing the group's history by music journalist/manager Bruce Pilato, along with memorabilia, archival photos, and a replica poster.<br/><br/>Beck and Appice mixed all the concerts in this set from the original multi-tracks that had been in Beck's archive for almost 50 years, thus knocking the many bootleg quality releases, that Beck hated, out of the park! The two performances at Koseinenkin Hall in Osaka, Japan (recorded May 18 and 19, 1973) were released exclusively in Japan a few months after the shows, but never in the U.S. The complete concert at the Rainbow Theatre in London, England (recorded January 26, 1974) has never been released anywhere. <br/><br/>In the booklet, Pilato explores the short existence and lasting legacy of Beck, Bogert & Appice, a supergroup that critics once hailed as "the first successor to Cream" (Melody Maker) and an "ensemble of virtually unparalleled magnificence" (NME). <br/><br/>LIVE IN JAPAN 1973 was recorded only a few weeks after Beck, Bogert & Appice's self-titled debut came out. The music ripples with raw energy as the group delivers exhilarating live versions of nearly every song on the album, including "Superstition," "Lady," and "Livin' Alone." The trio also played songs by the Yardbirds ("Jeff's Boogie") and the Jeff Beck Group ("Morning Dew" and "Going Down.")

Little Feat is the quintessential "cult" rock band. Started by Lowell George in earnest in 1969, by 1975 they had already released five projects. Their 5th studio album, The Last Record Album, gives a subtle nod & wink to the critically acclaimed 1971 box office hit The Last Picture Show in its title and cover artwork -another wonderfully trippy collaboration with the artist Neon Park. <br/>By far the band's shortest release, with only eight total tracks, The Last Record Album still boasts several essential Feat compositions like "One Love Stand" (covered by Carly Simon) and "Long Distance Love" (covered by Elvis Costello for the Lowell George tribute album Long Distance Love: A Sweet Relief Tribute to Lowell George).<br/><br/>Getting the Rhino Deluxe treatment with this release are a 4CD featuring the original albums remastered and recut from the original tapes, alongside previously unreleased studio outtakes, demos and rarities - with the CD sporting an unreleased live show from the corresponding tour (in this case their 1975 stop at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston). <br/><br/>It's a feast for the auditory senses, with a treasure trove of material for Little Feat's feverish fan base, in the tradition of the deluxe reissues that have come before it from across their 1970's Warner catalog.

Neil Young's fourth solo album remains one of the most beloved in his catalog and is dense with songs that have long-permeated radio waves. The 50th Anniversary Edition Box Sets boasting the original album, three studio outtakes, an unreleased live 1971 BBC solo performance. <br/><br/>The film Harvest Time is a previously unseen 2-hour documentary filmed in 1971, documenting the Harvest sessions. Also included in the package is a hardbound book and fold-out poster. <br/><br/>Fans of the record will receive a new glimpse into Harvest through the two DVDs included in the box set. The first is Harvest Time, an unreleased two-hour film shot during the making of Harvest, with footage from Young's 'Harvest Barn' sessions in Northern California, recording sessions in Nashville and London. The second is a film of the unreleased solo BBC Concert recorded on February 23, 1971. Also included are three outtakes tracks from the original Harvest sessions: "Bad Fog of Loneliness," "Journey Through The Past," and "Dance Dance Dance." Additionally, the hardbound book will include never-before-seen photos along with extensive liner notes by photographer Joel Bernstein.

On Parole Sessions - A 4 disc set remixed by Steven Wilson. <br/>On Parole Motörhead's first ever studio recordings from 1975 featuring Larry Wallis on guitar, Phil Taylor and Lucas Fox on drums and Lemmy on bass and vocals. <br/>This is a unique opportunity to hear this legendary, fledgling band writing and capturing their earliest recordings.
