With the story behind Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska set to be explored by the feature film Deliver Me From Nowhere, Nebraska '82: Expanded Edition (four CDs + one Blu-Ray) gathers revelatory unheard material from this prolific period including the fabled Electric Nebraska sessions with the E Street Band and solo home and studio recordings, joined by a 2025 remaster of the original album, plus a new performance film of all ten Nebraska songs played in sequence.<br/><br/>Springsteen's 1982 acoustic masterwork is augmented by 17 contemporary recordings (15 previously unreleased) that were part of the groundswell of inspiration that shaped Nebraska and share its haunting themes. Together, they expand our understanding of how this seminal album came to be and reflect the breadth of Springsteen's creative intentions at a pivotal moment in his artistic development.<br/><br/>The Bluray features the present-day performance film of the "Nebraska" album - played in sequence for the first time ever and captured at New Jersey's Count Basie Theatre by Thom Zimny.

I boxen "Every Bit Of My Life 1967-2017" summeras ett halvt sekel Björn Skifs på skiva på 24 CD. Det är en mäktig musikalisk historieskrivning över en av Sveriges mest framgångsrika artistkarriärer någonsin. Här finns alla hans 16 soloalbum, skivorna med Björns 60-talsgrupp Slam Creepers', de två klassiska albumen med Björn Skifs och Blåblus (Blue Swede) och albumet med gruppen Zkiffz.<br/><br/>Men det slutar inte där. I boxen ingår även fyra fullmatade bonusskivor, "Singlar, duetter, outgivet och annat vol. 1-4". Där finns hits, obskyra B-sidor, höjdpunkter ur musikalsuccén "Spök!", samarbetet med låtskrivaren David Foster, och mycket mer. <br/>En stor del av materialet släpps på CD för första gången. <br/><br/>"Jag har själv aldrig ens kunnat föreställa mig att alla mina skivor skulle komma att samlas i en så här fin liten box. Men här är de - och lite till, säger en stolt Björn Skifs och fortsätter:<br/>"Det är både enastående och smått ofattbart. Något som också gör mig riktigt stolt, är att träffa folk som berättar att jag genom min musik har inspirerat dem att själva bli musiker eller sångare".<br/><br/>Boxen inkluderar en 104-sidig booklet, späckad med av unikt bildmaterial, formgiven av Pär Wickholm. I omfattande intervjuer, exklusivt gjorda för denna box, berättar Skifs och producenterna för musikjournalisten Anders Lundquist om samtliga albuminspelningar.<br/>Redaktören Lars Nylins förord placerar sångaren och uttolkaren Björn Skifs i ett större musikhistoriskt sammanhang.<br/><br/>Björn Skifs firade i våras sin 70-årsdag och kan se tillbaka på ett framgångsrikt år med succéartade arenakonserter tillsammans med Tommy Körberg, ett nytt samlingsalbum och fortsatta framgångar för showen "Lite nu och då" på Göta Lejon.<br/>Hur vill Björn själv att hans lyssnare ska känna när de fördjupar sig i boxen?<br/><br/>"Förhoppningsvis blir reaktionen något i stil med "oj, vad han har hunnit med - och en del var faktiskt inte så dumt!" Kanske blir de också lite överraskade över allt jag har gjort. För ingen kan i alla fall klaga på genrebredden", skrattar Björn. "Boxen rymmer kanske inte v-a-r-j-e bit av mitt musikaliska liv, som titeln antyder - men nästan!"<br/><br/>Med "Every Bit Of My Life" blir skivartisten Björn Skifs extremt mycket tydligare än den som alltför ofta bara sammanfattas med att "Hooked on A Feeling" blev Billboardetta i USA i april 1974.

Tyska Primal Fear som bildades 1997 släpper nu sitt femtonde studioalbum, och som vanligt så rör det sig om melodisk men tung metal. Bandet har ett utpräglat europiskt metallsound som bygger på tunga riff, monsterrefränger och lika mycket melodi och aggression.<br/><br/>Mat Sinner har återigen producerat och har tillsammans med bandets svenske gitarrist Magnus Karlsson skrivit de flesta låtarna. Ralf Scheepers är kvar bakom mikrofonen men det har tillkommit nya medlemmar på både trummor och gitarr.

Sedan slutet av 70-talet har skånska Wilmer X varit ett band som tagit sin älskade rock och skruvat den, gett den ett extra lager av underfundig finess i såväl text som musik. Bandet har också genom åren visat upp en rejäl bredd för några som anser sig vara så dogmatisk lagda. Från taggtrådsvass punk med gasen i botten till välsnickrade svensktopphits. Från omedelbar pop till bråkig bluesrock. Från den amerikanska södern till svenska folkparker.<br/><br/>De är en urkraft som inte saktat av med åren, utan tvärtom - nu lägger de in femmans växel. Det var sjutton år sedan albumet "13 våningar upp" släpptes - det gick för övrigt rakt in som etta på albumlistan. Med "Mer för dina pengar", som producerats av Chips Kiesbye, visar Nisse <br/>Hellberg och hans mannar var skåpet ska stå.<br/> <br/>Nisse Hellberg, sång och gitarr, Jalle Lorensson, munspel, Thomas Holst, bas, Sticky Bomb, trummor och Janne Lindén, gitarr.

The final installment in the hugely successful ERA boxes, the sixth boxset includes Bowie's final recordings covering the period from 2002 - 2016. It comprises 4 studio albums, 2 EPs, 2 Live albums and the usual Re:call compilation. <br/><br/>128 page hardback book<br/><br/>Heathen (Remastered) (1CD)<br/><br/>Montreux Jazz Festival (2CD) (Previously unreleased)*<br/><br/>Reality (Remastered) (1CD)<br/><br/>A Reality Tour (Remastered & Re-sequenced) (2CD)<br/><br/>The Next Day (Remastered) (1CD)<br/><br/>The Next Day Extra (Remastered) (1CD)<br/><br/>Blackstar (1CD)<br/><br/>No Plan (1CD)<br/><br/>Re:Call 6 (Non-album singles, edits, single versions, b-sides and soundtrack music) (Remastered) (3CD)*

Helloween är power metals stora fanbärare och har sedan 80-talet levererat fantastisk, melodisk metal. Under senare år har de turnerat med ett antal sångare, både deras nuvarande vokalist Andi Deris och tidigare sångare som Kai Hansen och Michael Kiske.<br/><br/>Med över 10 miljoner sålda skivor och ett flertal guld- och platinautmärkelser, firar de tyska legendarerna Helloween sitt 40-årsjubileum! Detta är bandets andra fullängdsalbum med deras<br/>unika tresångarkonstellation. Som vanligt bjuder Helloween på sin patenterade mix av snabba riff, storslagna melodier och den karakteristiska högoktaniga sången. Med fem starka låtskrivare, tre sångare och sju musiker i världsklass är förväntningar på detta album högt ställda, och de gör ingen besviken; albumet får 9 av 10 i SRM.

In the twenty-five years since The Hives exploded around the world, they have sold out stadiums and shared stages with everyone from AC/DC to The Rolling Stones. SPIN calls The Hives "the best live band on the planet" and Howlin' Pelle "the greatest frontman in rock," and the BBC dubbed the band "a force of nature." Rolling Stone named Veni Vidi Vicious one of the Top 100 Albums of the decade and "Hate To Say I Told You So" earned a spot on Pitchfork's Top 500 Songs of the 2000's. They have sold millions of albums world-wide with multiple RIAA Gold-certifications. In the time since Lex Hives, the band has released 2019's double A-side "I'm Alive"/"Good Samaritan" as well as a live album via Third Man Records, and embarked on a series of global tours. The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons marked a true renaissance for the band in 2023 hitting #1 in Sweden, #2 in the UK and worldwide touring. If that was THE COMEBACK, The Hives new record is all set to be THE TAKEOVER!

"The Beatles Anthology" Documentary Series.<br/>Now a Nine-Part Series Featuring a Brand-new Episode Nine.<br/><br/>The Beatles' landmark "Anthology" documentary series has been restored and remastered. <br/>The series' original eight episodes trace the legendary journey that began in Liverpool and Hamburg and soon captivated the world. They bring to life the timeless stories - of Beatlemania, the band's groundbreaking arrival in the USA, their role at the forefront of the 1960s counterculture, their spiritual exploration in India, and their eventual breakup. And through it all, the constant thread: the music, always the music.<br/>There is now a completely new Episode Nine, including unseen behind-the-scenes footage of Paul, George and Ringo coming together between 1994 and 1995 to work on "The Anthology" and reflecting on their shared life as The Beatles. <br/>The restoration has been overseen by Apple Corps' production team, working with Peter Jackson's Wingnut Films & Park Road Post teams along with Giles Martin, who has created new audio mixes for the majority of the featured music.<br/><br/>The musical side of The Anthology Collection, originally curated by George Martin, now remastered by Giles Martin, in the form of three double albums of rare material, a shadow story to the one told in the documentaries. They are an enthralling insight into the early development of songs that became the recorded masterpieces that resonate just as loudly today as they did when they were first recorded. <br/>It also has an important new element. Anthology 4, newly curated by Giles, includes 13 previously unreleased demos and session recordings and other rare recordings. It also includes new mixes of The Beatles' Anthology-associated hit singles: the GRAMMY-winning "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love," given new life by their original producer, Jeff Lynne, using de-mixed John Lennon vocals. <br/>The original "Free As A Bird" music video has also been beautifully restored.<br/>Both new mixes are placed alongside the band's most recent UK No. 1 hit single, 2023's GRAMMY-winning "Now And Then," the last Beatles song. All three singles were created from rudimentary home demos John recorded in the 1970s, later completed with vocal and instrumental parts recorded by Paul, George and Ringo.<br/>Across all the Anthology albums, there are 191 tracks which will be released on November 21 by Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMG for digital purchase and streaming, and in deluxe 12LP 180-gram vinyl and 8CD box sets. Both box sets include the original sleeve notes for Anthology 1, 2 and 3; the new Anthology 4 includes track notes written by Kevin Howlett and an introduction compiled from 1996 interviews recorded with The Beatles' close friend and adviser Derek Taylor.

In Genesis' incredible body of work, 'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway' is a landmark record. Originally released on 22 November 1974, at the pinnacle of their early success, it came at a pivotal point in Genesis' history. It is rated as one of the greatest albums of its era and one of the most influential progressive rock albums of all time.<br/> <br/>'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition' is the album's definitive compendium, following the arc of the album's creation and tour. With input from all of the band members involved in the record - Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett and Mike Rutherford - it comes in 5LP+Blu Ray Audio and 4CD+Blu Ray Audio formats, both providing a deep dive into the music and visual elements around this album and includes;<br/><br/>- The original album mix, remastered at Abbey Road Studios by Miles Showell from the 1974 analogue tapes.<br/><br/>- A Blu-ray audio disc includes the remastered 96kHz/24-bit high resolution audio and Dolby ATMOS mixes of the studio album done by Bob Mackenzie at Real World Studios under the supervision of Peter Gabriel and Tony Banks.<br/><br/>- The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway Live At The Shrine Auditorium from January 24, 1975.

A 1975 tour programme reproduction, replica ticket and poster.<br/><br/>This 50th anniversary Super Deluxe Edition is a true celebration of a remarkable album that embraces the groundbreaking music, gives the whole band's insight alongside evocative imagery and unseen photos. Ultimately it celebrates the huge magnitude of what this record is, which Alexis Petridis sums up perfectly in the opening paragraph of the liner notes...

Through this album, Sabaton have immortalised historical legends whose actions continue to shape the world today, such as Joan of Arc, Napoleon, Julius Caesar and the Japanese sword master, Miyamoto Musashi.

We took the idea from the community and tweaked it ourselves!" - Pär Sundström
