Edsel will release a collection of Simply Red deluxe editions at the end of June.

The reissue campaign takes in all three albums released since 2000 (originally issued on Mick Hucknall’s own simplyred.com label) alongside two repackaged DVD releases, both of which see their debut on the Blu-ray format, taking full advantage of the original HD footage.

Home, released in 2003, features the big hit single Sunrise and is expanded to four discs – 3CDs and a DVD – while Simplified (2005) and Stay (2007) boast 2CD+DVD packages. Each release features bonus content that includes radio edits, remixes and live tracks. The DVDs in the album sets all come with new interviews with Mick Hucknall, promo videos, TV appearances and more.

Home Live in Sicily and Cuba! are separate four-disc sets, each featuring the concert films on Blu-ray and DVD alongside two further CDs for your audio-only playback convenience.

All of these sets come as familiar deluxe casebound books, including the blu-ray sets which are packaged in blu-ray/dvd dimensions.

FANNY: Charity Ball (Expanded Edition) CD - Available June 2, 2014

With the release of their debut self-titled album (also available from Real Gone Music), Fanny made history as the first all-female rock band ever signed to a major label, but it was on their second album when the girls really settled into a groove; in the words of drummer Alice DeBuhr, who supplies the notes for our Expanded Edition release, “We’d found our feet and were settling into the sound that would be Fanny.” Indeed, buoyed by such tracks as “Cat Fever,” “Thinking of You” and “Place in the Country” (which appears here in its original album version for the first time on CD), Charity Ball was a quantum leap forward for the group, and displays a much more surehanded lyrical and musical approach than its predecessor. Still, this Real Gone reissue marks the first time Charity Ball has been available (outside of a limited edition box set release) since its original 1971 release, and we’ve gotten it all dressed up for the ball, with the original album art featuring the cover photo by Candice Bergen, extra photos supplied by the band and three bonus tracks including single and live versions of the title track and a smoking hot live version of “Place in the Country.” Remastered by Mike Milchner at SonicVision—alternately tough and tender, and ALWAYS tuneful!

.

TRACKS

1. Charity Ball

2. What Kind of Love

3. Cat Fever

4. A Person Like You

5. Special Care

6. What’s Wrong with Me

7. Soul Child

8. You’re the One

9. Thinking of You

10. Place in the Country

11. A Little While Later

Bonus Tracks:

12. Charity Ball (Single Version)

13. Charity Ball (Live Version)

14. Place in the Country (Live Version)

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

LINDA MARTELL: Color Me Country CD (June 2, 2014)

She was the first African-American woman to hit the country charts (in 1969, with “Color Him Father”), and the first to appear at the Grand Ole Opry (in August 1969). But, for such a groundbreaking musical pioneer, Linda Martell remains something of a forgotten figure in American music. That’s because, despite a trio of hits, TV appearances on Hee Haw and The Bill Anderson Show, and a full dozen appearances at the Opry, she cut her career short in 1974 and returned home to South Carolina to care for her young children. Through the years, though, word of her of talent and achievements in the country music field has spread, not just on these shores but even overseas, as she was the subject of a recent Christmas movie on the Lifetime channel and of a 2014 documentary made for Swedish TV. The time is ripe, then, to reissue for the first time ever her 1969 album cut for Plantation Records (one wonders if the irony of entitling an album by a black country singer Color Me Country on a label called Plantation was intentional or not), featuring the hits “Color Him Father,” “Before the Next Teardrop Falls” and “Bad Case of the Blues.” Our Real Gone reissue of this landmark album includes notes by Bill Dahl and remastering by Mike Milchner of SonicVision. Rediscover one of country music’s most fascinating figures!

.

Tracks:

1. Bad Case of the Blues

2. San Francisco Is a Lonely Town

3. The Wedding Cake

4. Tender Leaves of Love

5. I Almost Called Your Name

6. Color Him Father

7. There Never Was a Time

8. You’re Crying Boy, Crying

9. Old Letter Song

10. Then I’ll Be Over You

11. Before the Next Teardrop Falls

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Meet the Beatles! Just one month after they exploded onto the U.S. scene with their Ed Sullivan Show appearance, John, Paul, George, and Ringo began working on a project that would bring their revolutionary talent to the big screen. A Hard Day’s Night, in which the bandmates play slapstick versions of themselves, captured the astonishing moment when they officially became the singular, irreverent idols of their generation and changed music forever. Directed with raucous, anything-goes verve by Richard Lester and featuring a slew of iconic pop anthems, including the title track, “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “I Should Have Known Better,” and “If I Fell,” A Hard Day’s Night, which reconceived the movie musical and exerted an incalculable influence on the music video, is one of the most deliriously entertaining movies of all time.

.

DIRECTOR-APPROVED EDITION:

  • New 4K digital restoration, approved by director Richard Lester, with three audio options—a monaural soundtrack as well as newly created stereo and 5.1 surround mixes supervised by sound producer Giles Martin at Abbey Road Studios—presented in uncompressed monaural, uncompressed stereo, and DTS-HD Master Audio on the Blu-ray
  • Audio commentary featuring cast and crew (dual-format only)
  • In Their Own Voices, a new piece combining 1964 interviews with the Beatles with behind-the-scenes footage and photos
  • “You Can’t Do That”: The Making of “A Hard Day’s Night,” a 1994 documentary by producer Walter Shenson including an outtake performance by the Beatles
  • Things They Said Today, a 2002 documentary about the film featuring Lester, music producer George Martin, screenwriter Alun Owen, and cinematographer Gilbert Taylor (dual-format only)
  • Picturewise, a new piece about Lester’s early work, featuring a new audio interview with the director (dual-format only)
  • The Running Jumping & Standing Still Film (1960), Lester’s Oscar-nominated short (dual-format only)

PEGGY LIPTON: The Complete Ode Recordings

Model-turned-actress Peggy Lipton was (and is) one of the great beauties of her generation, and in her role as flower child Julie Barnes on The Mod Squad, became the “It Girl” during the show’s late-‘60s/early-‘70s run. The same year (1968) that she premiered on the show, Peggy also unveiled her formidable singing talent on a self-titled album produced by Lou Adler and released on his Ode record label. The album yielded a charting single in “Stoney End” and led to some other “Bubbling Under” non-album single releases for Ode including evocative covers of Laura Nyro’s “Lu” and Donovan’s “Wear Your Love Like Heaven” plus a collaboration with writer-producer Jimmy Webb on his song “Red Clay County Line” – all of which we’ve collected on Peggy Lipton: The Complete Ode Recordings, which features everything she released on the label plus an unreleased track, a version of Brian Wilson’s “I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times.” Our Real Gone reissue of this lost gem (which has only come out on CD in Japan as a straight album reissue without the bonus tracks) replicates the original album’s gatefold art with wallet packaging that includes a booklet displaying rare photos and single picture sleeves, with notes by Joe Marchese. An earful and an eye-ful from the multitalented Ms. Lipton!

.

SONGS:

1. Let Me Pass By

2. A Natural Woman

3. Memories of a Golden Weekend (or How I Got the Acapulco Blues)

4. San Francisco Glide

5. Stoney End

6. Who Needs It

7. Hands Off the Man

8. It Might as Well Rain until September

9. Wasn’t It You

10. Lady of the Lake

11. Honey Won’t Let Me

Bonus Tracks

12. Red Clay County Line

13. Just a Little Lovin’

14. Lu

15. Wear Your Love Like Heaven

16. I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times (Unreleased)

Donna Summer's 80s albums to be remastered

There is a report on Facebook that the Demon Music Group has signed a deal to remaster and reissue the post-Casablanca albums. Now it's way too early for release dates or even details about the releases, but all I can say is that it will be nice to see the Geffen albums get a little love for a change. (Not to mention Another Place And Time, and Mistaken Identity!)

^ Great news! woot!

The album I would look for is: Donna Summer (the 1982 album) produced by Quincy Jones.... that' s a fantastic album.

Let's hope the re-release will include:

i couldn't find this SO CALLED group of facebook but this is what i found on a message board

According to a Facebook post on a Donna Summer Tribute Page, Demon Music Group has acquired the rights to re-releasing all of Donna Summer's studio catalog, post-Casablanca years. That means from her Geffen debut of "The Wanderer" through to "Mistaken Identity" (not sure about "Christmas Spirit" or "Crayons" at this time), all her albums are getting the extended, remastered / repackaged / reissue treatment!

By extended, it means: the extended mixes, bonus tracks, and unreleased 'B-Sides' of some of her 45's (such as 'Sometimes Like Butterflies' - which was never included on 1982's "Donna Summer"). Not sure about "She Works Hard for the Money" either, since that was a Casablanca release in 1983 (and recently reissued).

I shall keep you all posted with new developments and release dates!

Here is the latest of what is being said....

"Another Place and Time" is scheduled to be the first to be released. It should be the original intended album - a double LP produced by SAW, which was presented to David Geffen in 1988, the last album owed Geffen under her contract. Geffen didn't like it, wouldn't release it, and asked her to record something else. Summer reached a deal with him - she would leave the label and take this project with her, and he would not owe her any money for recording it. She released the album as a single LP via Atlantic /WB in early 1989.

SAW had been wanting to release a remastered/ extended CD in it's entirety for some time - but Summer wasn't interested. (It's been said that SAW worked with Summer for a follow-up to 'AP&T' in 1990, but the project didn't work out as well as they all expected. Summer and SAW had major differences, and parted ways. It's been said she had no intention of working with them ever again). Now her estate has signed a deal with Demon Records (a UK company which has a very good reputation on reissues, from what I have read) and they - in turn - are working with SAW. The release will allegedly have disc 1 with all the songs from the double LP, and disc 2 will have the extended remixes and single releases. The packaging will have the original album artwork.



I'm hearing "All Systems Go" (1987) will be second in line to be released. This will have the original four songs left off the released album as 'bonus tracks' as well as the extended plays of the title track, 'Dinner With Gershwin', and 'Thinkin' 'Bout My Baby', as well.

That's really interesting to hear about the Another Place And Time album. I knew that Donna and SAW did some work on a follow-up album but not that the original album was supposed to be a double album. I can't wait to find out what the other tracks were that she recorded for it.

I'm not excited all all about Demon Music acquiring these Donna titles. Remember, Demon Music is the very same company that butchered those Tabu titles last year by using terrible vinyl rips as bonus tracks. I'm not getting rid of my original Donna CDs until I am 100% sure that all of the bonus tracks are digitally remastered from master tapes and not vinyl rips.

"Another Place and Time" is scheduled to be the first to be released. It should be the original intended album - a double LP produced by SAW, which was presented to David Geffen in 1988, the last album owed Geffen under her contract. Geffen didn't like it, wouldn't release it, and asked her to record something else. Summer reached a deal with him - she would leave the label and take this project with her, and he would not owe her any money for recording it. She released the album as a single LP via Atlantic /WB in early 1989.

SAW had been wanting to release a remastered/ extended CD in it's entirety for some time - but Summer wasn't interested. (It's been said that SAW worked with Summer for a follow-up to 'AP&T' in 1990, but the project didn't work out as well as they all expected. Summer and SAW had major differences, and parted ways. It's been said she had no intention of working with them ever again). Now her estate has signed a deal with Demon Records (a UK company which has a very good reputation on reissues, from what I have read) and they - in turn - are working with SAW. The release will allegedly have disc 1 with all the songs from the double LP, and disc 2 will have the extended remixes and single releases. The packaging will have the original album artwork.

That's really interesting to hear about the Another Place And Time album. I knew that Donna and SAW did some work on a follow-up album but not that the original album was supposed to be a double album. I can't wait to find out what the other tracks were that she recorded for it.

I always assumed that this album was recorded after Donna left Geffen Records.She was pretty much done with that label after the All Systems Go album was released in the fall of '87 and David Geffen dropped her from the roster.I never knew that the next album was originally planned as a 2-album set.I did know about a planned second album that she was gonna record with SAW in 1990.For some reason,it didn't work out and one of the songs ("Happenin' All Over Again") was given to a SAW protege,Lonnie Gordon.

Do you think Donna would have had a hit with that tune in 1990?

Am I the only one who thinks this album is underrated?

All Systems Go is a great album that was totally ignored when it was released in 1987."Love Shock" is an excellent pop/dance track that should have been a single.The sultry "Fascination" is quiet storm heaven and should have exposed Donna to a whole new audience (the Sade and Anita Baker crowd would have loved this).Ditto for "Thinkin' Bout My Baby".The delightful first single "Dinner With Gerschwin" was a pleasant surprise.Alot of times,when an artist is leaving a record company,the label doesn't make any real effort to promote the final album of their contract.That was certainly the case with this record.
