Swedish high energy rockers THE HELLACOPTERS have been celebrating their 30th anniversary recently and after releasing something new - the much-lauded "Overdriver" album on January 31, 2025, which reached No. 1 in the Swedish charts for the second time in the group's career - it is time to offer their dedicated fanbase something truly nostalgic. "Cream Of The Crap! Collected Non-Album Works o Volume 3" is the long-overdue follow-up in a series of rarities collections started in 2002 combining material from a myriad of singles, EPs, and compilations. The 24 tracks featured in this set have originally been released between 1995 and 2004, and include originals like 'Disappointment Blues', 'Freeway To Hell', 'Doggone Your Bad-Luck Soul' and 'Long Gone Losers' as well as many cover versions of songs by Motörhead, Wilson Pickett, MC5, Smokey Robsinson, Alice Cooper, the Ramones, the Nomads, and Adam West - whose singer Jake Starr penned liner notes for this release - and many, many more. Meticulously compiled by Robert Eriksson, transferred from master tapes and vinyl by Henke Jonsson, and remastered for maximum audio fidelity by Magnus Lindberg, THE HELLACOPTERS proudly present a stunning collection of incredible, high-octane rock'n'roll on this over 75 minutes long double vinyl.

After a nearly five-decade (and counting) career as one of his generation's defining rock bassists, Flea releases his first full-length solo album, Honora, on Nonesuch Records. <br/>Time and space have finally allowed him to return to his first musical loves: jazz and playing the trumpet.<br/> <br/>For Honora, which takes its name from a beloved family member, Flea composed and arranged the music, and also plays trumpet and bass throughout, joined by an elite crew of modern jazz visionaries: album producer and saxophonist Josh Johnson, guitarist Jeff Parker, bassist Anna Butterss, and drummer Deantoni Parks. The record features vocals from Flea, as well as friends Thom Yorke and Nick Cave. Mauro Refosco (David Byrne, Atoms for Peace) and Nate Walcott (Bright Eyes), among others, also join the band. <br/>The album comprises six original songs-including one co-written by Flea, Johnson, and Yorke-as well as interpretations of tunes by George Clinton and Eddie Hazel, Jimmy Webb, Frank Ocean and Shea Taylor, and Ann Ronell.

Celebrating its 40th anniversary, 5150 is the first of four albums Van Halen recorded with lead singer Sammy Hagar. To mark this moment, Rhino is releasing a 2LP expanded edition of this classic with a remastered version of the original album and a disc of rare singles edits and B-sides. Includes the evergreen tracks "Why Can't This Be Love", "Dreams", Love Walks In" and "Best of Both Worlds".

The fourth installment in Neil Young's Official Release Series (ORS): a box set that includes his classic '80s records Hawks & Doves, Reoacotor, and This Note's for You, as well as his Eldorado EP, previously released only in Japan and Australia. <br/><br/>The ORS Vol 4 collects an eclectic set of decade-spanning sounds. Hawks & Doves (1980) revisits his folk roots and explores some of his most country-leaning offerings; the blistering Reoacotor (1981) showcases a stomping set of heavy, overdriven rock with Crazy Horse; and This Note's for You (1988) casts Young as a big band leader, belting out intricately arranged blues. The Eldorado EP (1989) is full of feral distortion and earthy crunch featuring Young backed by The Restless (Chad Cromwell and Rick Rosas). It includes two thundering tracks - "Cocaine Eyes" and "Heavy Love"- not available on any other album.
