Upcoming releases of interest

I see the new Brandon Flowers album has David Rawlings on guitar, an interesting combination.

I'm absolutely no fan of The Killers, but I'd be intrigued to hear that.

ditto . Out of interest have you seen the Elvis Costello archive? It appears legal.

There must be at least one  Soft Machine fan  around here.  So, if they don't know yet, a 17 disc box is coming, covering the  CBS years. People are quite excited about this, though not a lot of the material  is  unreleased.

Initially very excited when I read the news although the finer detail diminishes that excitement rather than develops it.  It's a maybe from me.

On the heels of last year's deluxe edition of Foreigner 4, they're releasing a deluxe edition of Head Games. Like the other, it includes demos, early takes, and a live concert recorded on the associated tour.

I know Foreigner is corporate rock, blah blah blah, but I think Lou Gramm is one of the finest rock singers in history, and I particularly love new live releases from the classic era.

Yes  ,  the alternative 5  stuff will tempt some people.   And the BBC material  is expanded and I'm told it's from a better source.  I have the original   Windsong discs which sound fine to me.

Coming October 30, The Who By Numbers Super Deluxe!

This is the great lost Who album, and the last in my opinion that completely lacks filler. The Super Deluxe edition will include the Who's 1976 show at Swansea and the first official DVD release of a live U.S. show from Pontiac, Michigan in 1975, plus demos and studio outtakes.

Oh, I'd missed that this included The Vetch show.  I'm moderately tempted....

ps you'd need to wear this whilst listening to it...

There’s Phil Lynott box set due shortly and buried in the middle of CD 5 there’s a track called ‘A Tribute to Sandy Denny’. Has anyone come across this on a deep dive before? Apparently it was a one off single with an Irish band called Clann Eadair.

Doesn't quite work for me, but nice idea.

There's a remastered "Rubber Soul" with loads of extras coming.

If you can afford it.

Incidentally, saw a Martin Carthy vinyl box set for £220 at the weekend.

Even if I had a record player, I'm just not in that market.

Which Carthy box would that be Andy?  Something new ?

I believe it was Along The Road Forever: Live At The BBC.

Apparently also available as a 20 CD Box Set.

I backed away rapidly because of the cost, I have to say. It's probably great value.

That is the CD box set - it's not been released on vinyl, Andy.

I vinyl box if this would be interesting,  but gosh they'd have to  edit it.  I have the Bert Jansch  sessions on vinyl but  it doesn't have everything from the CD version .

Ah, I was backing away rapidly, so incorrectly identified it as vinyl.
