Kreator: Krushers of the World (Box) [2 Vinyl LP + 2 CD]

Neil Young continues his Official Release Series (ORS) with the next installment of four classic titles from the 1990s. ORS Vol 6: Discs 26, 27, 28 & 29 collects HARVEST MOON, UNPLUGGED, SLEEPS WITH ANGELS and MIRROR BALL in the ongoing reissue series. <br/><br/>Each disc in the limited edition, numbered box sets will contain 4 albums with the original, historically accurate artwork and will be reissued on double vinyl LPs, while the CD box contains single CD sets per title. MIRROR BALL is an analog recording and the album has been remastered from the original analog masters by John Hanlon and Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. Additionally, four of the tracks have been remixed by John Hanlon and Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. ("I'm The Ocean", "Big Green Country", "Truth Be Known", "Throw Your Hatred Down"<br/> <br/>HARVEST MOON (ORS Disc 26), originally released in 1992, helped open a new decade of Young's music with what would become instant new classics like the title track "Harvest Moon," "From Hank to Hendrix," and "One of These Days." It included originals written in the 1980s as well as brand new songs, which quickly became fan favorites and one of the most beloved albums in Young's recorded output. <br/> <br/>UNPLUGGED (ORS Disc 27), originally released in 1993, was first recorded for an MTV Unplugged concert, along with additional live recordings. Young thoughtfully assembled a group of musicians he had recorded with over the years for this special aggregation that quickly became a collector's item as tapes were first shared from the show among his fans. The official live album is considered an acoustic one-of-a-kind release from Young's 90's cannon. <br/> <br/>SLEEPS WITH ANGELS (ORS Disc 28), originally released in 1994, is an album that wrote its own legend when released. Including the 14-minute song "Change Your Mind" and "Unknown Legend," it had a distinctiveness with Crazy Horse that Young achieved by keeping the sessions as spontaneous and immediate as possible allowing the tracks to breathe and come to life in real time. SLEEPS WITH ANGELS was the last album to be produced by Neil's long-time collaborator David Briggs, who passed away in 1995 at age 51, which also brings a special meaning to these recordings. <br/> <br/>MIRROR BALL (ORS Disc 29), is a double-album originally released in 1995 and recorded with Pearl Jam. Considering the Seattle band was one of the prime movers of rock bands in the 1990s, it was an event immediately upon its release, and found a rabid, younger audience and inspired long-time fans alike with its inherent high energy. Songs like "I Am The Ocean," "Throw Your Hatred Down" helped impact so much of the second half of the 1990s. <br/> <br/>The OFFICIAL RELEASE SERIES VOLUME 6 - DISCS 26, 27, 28 & 29 (ORS Vol 6) captures a large visceral part of the era, when Young was continuing his exploration of music with an unrelenting edge, in ways that he hadn't really done before. These four releases took him towards a new century, and anticipated some of the musical places he would soon explore. The songs also capture some of the massive changes that the 2000s would bring, and ways that music would take on challenges that are still very much being met.

The iconic Stiff Little Fingers debut album is presented as a 5-disc set (4CD+DVD). Along with a new remaster of the core album, it includes the band's earliest demos (never previously released), an unreleased 1979 concert from Troon and a swathe of BBC John Peel sessions. <br/><br/>The set's DVD includes the legendary Rough Trade 1979 SLF promotional film (unreleased and uncirculating) along with concert footage from Friars in Aylesbury originally broadcast on BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test in 1980 and a rare clip of 'Alternative Ulster' from the 1979 film Shellshock Rock. <br/><br/>The booklet features rare memorabilia and images from the time with 9,000-word liner notes from former NME journalist Stuart Bailie (author of Trouble Songs: Music and conflict in Northern Ireland) including fresh interviews with original band members and manager/lyricist Gordon Ogilvie

Prince: Around the world in a day (Deluxe/Ltd) [3 Vinyl LP]

This deluxe archival edition features a new remaster of the album from the original two-track analog stereo tapes, alongside previously unreleased and rare studio outtakes and intimate Paul Westerberg home demos. Delve into the band's infectious live energy with a complete, previously unreleased concert recorded in March 1984 at Cubby Bear in Chicago, IL.<br/>As music journalist Elizabeth Nelson writes in the liner notes, Let It Be "is a record for girls, for the working poor, for the terminally shy, for anyone who ever felt like a freak in their own skin. And it still is... It is, in short, the blueprint for what so many of us wanted and needed rock and roll to be: a refuge, a provocation, a mother, a middle finger, and, in the end, a way out."

Teddy Swims concludes his career defining breakout era with I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Complete Edition) - a 3LP vinyl pressed on milky clear and orange splatter vinyl. The final chapter of his debut album follows the massive success of Parts 1 and 2, which included global hits like "Lose Control," "The Door," and "Bad Dreams." Featuring 32 songs in total, with select tracks appearing on vinyl for the first time, this special collection captures the full scope of Swims' debut chapter. The Atlanta-born powerhouse has earned a GRAMMY nomination, broken records on the Billboard Hot 100, sold out a world tour, and collaborated with artists like GIV?ON, Muni Long, Coco Jones, GloRilla, and Thomas Rhett. With a voice that fuses soul, pop, R&B, and country - and performances on stages from The GRAMMYs to The BRITs - Swims has transformed into one of the most dynamic voices of his generation.
