Talking Heads: Stop making sense 1984 (Deluxe) [2 CD + Blu-ray Audio]

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.

Seal: Seal 1994 (30th anniversary/Rem) [Digipack / 2 CD + Blu-ray Audio]

Alice Cooper's 1975 platinum-certified solo debut, Welcome to My Nightmare, was the first of eight studio albums and the beginning of a new chapter in a legendary career that has haunted music for half a century. <br/>Rhino covers the early years in a new set featuring Cooper's first four solo albums with a selection of rarities. <br/><br/>After the original Alice Cooper band redefined rock with global anthems like "School's Out" and "I'm Eighteen," Cooper went solo in 1975 with Welcome to My Nightmare. <br/><br/>Produced by Bob Ezrin, the concept album exploring a child's nightmares was certified platinum, peaking at #5 on the Billboard 200. It was followed by a TV special, a groundbreaking theatrical world tour, and a concert film. <br/><br/>Its concept continued a year later on the gold-certified Alice Cooper Goes to Hell, which introduced his biggest-selling single, "I Never Cry." <br/><br/>Cooper shifted gears in 1977 on the platinum-certified Lace and Whiskey, adopting the persona of the bumbling, hard-drinking private investigator Maurice Escargot. <br/><br/>It featured the Top 10 ballad "You And Me." His fourth album in four years, 1978's From the Inside is a concept album co-written with Bernie Taupin that draws directly from Cooper's recent experience in an asylum. <br/><br/>Produced by David Foster, the album includes the hit single, "How You Gonna See Me Now," which peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
