2023

För första gången sedan 2005 bjuds vi på nyskrivet Stones-material! Det känns som om man inte nog kan prisa Stones betydelse inom rocken, de låtar de skrivit och deras fortfarande så energiska konserter. <br/><br/>Mick Jagger är och förblir den ultimate frontmannen; det finns ingen som äger en scen som Sir Mick. Ronnie Wood med sitt sneda leende och perfekta kompande. Och så den största av dom alla... Keefan! Det finns liksom ingen coolare än Keith Richards, alla kategorier. Den avlidne <br/>Charlie Watts finns också med på ett hörn, han spelar på två av spåren på detta album.

Metallica: 72 seasons (Midnight violet/Ltd) [Gatefold / 2 Vinyl LP]

Despite the majority of fans still believing that David Bowie's performance at the Hammersmith Odeon on July 3rd 1973 was the last time his Ziggy Stardust persona was witnessed, in truth one further show took place in London, at the famous Marquee Club in Wardour Street, in which Bowie once more played as the androgynous space alien.<br/><br/>This 2LP set features the entire broadcast on vinyl for the first time with, alongside Bowie and the Spiders, The Troggs, Marianne Faithful, and the little-known Carmen, a Brit/American 'flamenco/rock' ensemble, rarely heard of since.

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.")

Memento Mori is Depeche Mode's 15th studio album and the first in the lineup of Dave Gahan and Martin Gore, following the tragic death of co-founder Andrew "Fletch" Fletcher in 2022. Memento Mori was produced by James Ford, with additional production by Marta Salogni . The album was created during the early stages of the Covid pandemic, resulting in themes directly inspired by that period. The album's 12 tracks chart a wide variety of moods and textures from the ominous opening to the closing denouement, running the gamut from paranoia and obsession to catharsis and joy, and countless points in between.

Taylor Swift fortsätter att ge ut album ur sin katalog i omgjorda och uppdaterade versioner. Här har hon tagit sig an sitt fjärde album "1989" från 2014. Denna version innehåller hela 21 spår, nyinspelade versioner av de 16 spår som låg på originalutgåvans deluxeversion och fem tidigare ej släppta låtar.<br/><br/>När "1989" släpptes lyckades Swift att styra in sin karriär i popfåran istället för den country-popfåra hon hamnat i innan. Hon fick tre amerikanska listettor med singlarna "Shake It Off", "Blank Space" och "Bad Blood". Swift vann också två amerikanska Grammys för "1989", i kategorierna "Album of the Year" och "Best Pop Vocal Album"
