jazzy_daveSome massive ones here -
Frank Zappa - Willie The Pimp (Unedited Master Take)
This six-disc box set unpicked the overdubs on Zappa’s 1969 second solo album Hot Rats, which made full use of the then-new 16-track recording technology. Derek Walmsley said: “As with the album .. the real magic is in the origami-like marvels of “Peaches En Regalia”, “Son Of Mr Green Genes” and “It Must Be A Camel”.”
Joni Mitchell - Tell Old Bill
This five-CD box set dug deep into the years preceding Mitchell’s 1968 solo debut Song To A Seagull. Kicking off with a long lost 1963 audition tape for Saskatoon radio station CFQC 600 and taking in live sets and home recordings from Mitchell’s own archive, the collection charted her evolution from folk interpreter to distinctive songwriter, with 29 previously unheard compositions.
The Meters - Cissy Strut
The New Orleans R&B heroes’ hip-shaking funk strut ruled supreme in this box set, but across eight albums and bonus tracks, there was also room for psychedelic soul, ballads, reggae and diversions into disco. Phil Freeman said: “The choppy syncopation, the unexpected yet perfectly placed accents, the hints of melody and that sharp, ringing snare – it’s a sound so precise and so individual, it’s what sets The Meters’ early music apart from everything else on Earth.” a 6CD set on Rhino Records!
Prince - Hot Thing (Extended Remix) (2020 Remaster)
Prince’s 1987 masterpiece received the most lavish yet of his posthumous reissues, expanded to eight CDs – or 13 LPs – and one DVD. Alongside singles and a 1987 live set, the doors opened on the Paisley Park vaults to reveal 45 previously unreleased tracks including material created with Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman for the abandoned Dream Factory project. Richard Stacey said: “This set actually offers a tantalising step towards… a glimpse of the artist behind the myth.”
ENJOY
