Summer Magic 1985 is a 20CD collection featuring seven previously unreleased concerts from the legendary band’s 20 Years So Far tour.The Dead’s magic in the summer of ’85 was plentiful, and the large box will include all three of the band’s 20th anniversary concerts at Berkeley, California’s Greek Theater (6/14-6/16/85) which kicked off the tour, as well as dates from Saratoga Performing Arts Center (6/27/85); Hersheypark Stadium (6/28/85); and Merriweather Post Pavilion (6/30/85).
All of the gigs were recorded by the Dead’s longtime sound engineer Dan Healy and mastered for this release by David Glasser at Airshow Mastering. Typical for the Dead sets of this magnitude, it’s a lavish affair with original artwork by Marcos Alvarado…

Before his death in 2012, American singer/songwriter Terry Callier experienced a career resurgence in the U.K. where he was championed by artists ranging from Paul Weller and Beth Orton to Massive Attack and Michael Kiwanuka. BBE’s 
This short but very sweet eight-track vinyl release represents one of the milestones in the career of the least typical of British punk bands. Though they’re generally classed as post-punk, the Fall were technically more “parallel punk,” having formed in 1976, and not under the influence of the Sex Pistols or Ramones, but the Stooges and Can. For many bands of the era, the spartan recording conditions and strict timetable of the BBC studios where sessions were recorded for John Peel’s radio show were a challenge, but for the Fall this was actually a step up or, more typically, a step sideways. 1978 turned out to be the band’s year or at least a fairly strong start – they had made their only studio recordings to date, the Bingo-Masters Break-Out!
The CD features the full concert remixed and remastered from the original multi-track master tapes and restored to its original running order and released for the very first time.

Just two years into their subtle takeover of radio, MTV, and concert stages across the globe, The Cranberries played a surprisingly intimate show in 1994 at London’s Astoria II. A recording of the set was recently discovered and is being released for the first time. The show finds a band that had just released their (soon-to-be massive) debut with a follow-up on the way (1993’s 
With the release of his first-ever live album, Daniel Donato is experiencing a genuine full-circle moment. What began as a fledgling music career busking around his hometown of Nashville, TN, Donato quickly found his footing as a regular performer among the litany of legendary Music City venues. Most notably, Donato became a fixture at Robert’s Western World, an intimate space that abuts Nashville’s iconic Ryman Auditorium, where the prodigious guitarist honed his generational musical talent over the course of nearly 500 performances and spent countless hours after those shows dreamily staring up at the Mother Church of Country Music.

In the summer of 1976, Bob Marley & The Wailers hit the UK shortly before the heatwave, in mid-June. They’d been touring Rastaman Vibration since April – breakthrough shows in the US and Europe – and in Britain, just a few months after the success of Live! and No Woman, No Cry, filled four nights and two matinees at
the Hammersmith Odeon, announcing that reggae was no niche novelty but a potent force. In the audience was future DJ Don Letts who in the linernotes here makes an impassioned case for that residency’s significance. “It made British kids who’d never stepped in a Caribbean household feel the hum of something deeper than rock or pop. Marley showed the world the spirituality, rebellion and beauty inside our culture.” Letts also asserts that reviewers of…

As impressive as blues rocking guitarist Joanna Connor’s studio albums are, it’s onstage where she burns the brightest. Perhaps that’s why she has released a handful of live recordings after 1989’s debut, the first being Living on the Road (1993). But it has been sixteen years since 2019’s Live 24, and even though Connor’s most recent releases shepherded by longtime fans Joe Bonamassa (2021’s fiery 4801 South Indiana Avenue) and Mike Zito (the terrific 
On August 20, 1976, KISS performed in front of over 42,000 fans at Anaheim Stadium in California. It was the then-rising band’s largest audience to date; only three years earlier, the band had been performing to audiences of ten people. The band are now commemorating the 50th anniversary of a seminal concert with a new collection titled
