Reissues

Brian Wilson himself called 'Love You' the Beach Boys’ best album, and though many other people would probably put 'Pet Sounds' at the top of the list, this record is pretty darn great.

How on earth (or elsewhere!) did Talking Heads' sound originate, and how did it evolve? 'Tentative Decisions' doesn't quite answer the question, but it's fun to hear these early live tracks.

The Dream Syndicate, Long Ryders, the Rain Parade, and, of course, the Bangles are here, along with groups you've probably never heard.

This follow-up to the "Remember the Future" album reached No. 32 on U.S. charts and produced the group’s only U.S. chart single, “Astral Man.”

"He didn’t sugarcoat things. He put a lot of things out there that were the way they really were. And he knew a lot.”

If you’re not familiar with the music of the late 1950s and early 1960s, you’ll probably have a hard time guessing which of these tunes rocketed up the charts and which never dented the Hot 100.

A new 94-track anthology is as likable as it is varied. It features many of the best and best-known acts associated with early garage rock.

To say that psych-pop group Orange Bicycle never established a trademark style would be an understatement.

Not everything on these Fabulous Thunderbirds albums is fabulous, but Vaughan and Kim Wilson can be formidable singers and players, and, particularly on the early LPs, they and their bandmates delivered more than a few high-octane winners.

Among the many winners on this roller-coaster ride are soulful renditions of “Let It Be” by Aretha Franklin and “Hey, Jude” by Wilson Pickett, the latter with guitar by Duane Allman, and George Benson’s jazzified “You Never Give Me Your Money.”
