THE MODERN LOVERS is a reissue of the 1975 Beserkley album with two additional tracks.

U.K. edition features eight bonus tracks and original cover art.

One of the great 'lost' albums in rock history, Modern Lovers offered listeners a bridge between the Velvet Underground and the birth of punk. It also introduced them to Jonathan Richman, a most underrated songwriter. The Modern Lovers' only proper album is actually a collection of demos recorded with John Cale in the early 70s. They were never released until 1976, by which time the band had long passed. The classic tracks available here include 'Pablo Picasso', 'She Cracked' and 'Roadrunner', the subliminal influence at work behind Cornershop's 'Brimful Of Asha'. Richman's aching vocals, often seemingly on the point of collapse, provide the sort of direct emotional connection that great rock 'n' roll has always been about.

2003 reissue of 1976 classic, that's unavailable domestically, features 17 tracks including 8 bonus tracks, 'Dignified & Old', 'I'm Straight', 'Government Center', 'I Wanna Sleep In Your Arms', 'Dance With Me', 'Someone I Care About' (Alternative Version), 'Modern World' (Alternative Version), & 'Roadrunner' (Alternative Version). Includes slipcase & foldout sleeve with extensive liner notes, photos & other memorabilia. Castle.

Digitally remastered by Bill Inglot & Ken Perry.

The Modern Lovers: Jonathan Richman (vocals, guitar); Jerry Harrison (keyboards); Ernie Brooks (bass); David Robinson (drums).

Producers: John Cale, Kim Fowley.

Engineers: Robert Appere, Alan Mason.Spin (p.104) - "New wave's first baby steps."
Q (3/93, p.98) - 5 Stars - Indispensable - "...their delightfully offhand garage rock recalled [singer/songwriter] Richman's mentors, The Velvet Underground, and the cornbread naivete of 1962. He tapped into rock & roll's innocent roots to create a personal landscape..."
Q (11/03, p.136) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Pretty damn essential..."
Uncut (2/04, p.90) - "[T]here's a sincerity in his timbre and pithiness to his lyrics that make Richman's lovelorn protestations seem like those of a genuine poet..."
No Depression (p.91) - "Drummer David Robinson and bassist Ernie Brooks are a stellar rhythm section throughout."

The last Stones studio album of the '60s finds the band, for perhaps the first time, accurately reflecting the spirit of its age. The erstwhile bad boy outsiders of rock now found themselves firmly in the center of the social and political post-'68 whirlwind, and faced up to the challenge magnificently. The band's confident climb to its artistic peak was begun by BEGGAR'S BANQUET, but LET IT BLEED is a quantum leap even from that musical milestone. The album's opener, "Gimme Shelter," with its insinuating guitar introduction, leads us decisively out of Flower Power and into a world where rape and murder are "just a shot away," and the Devil of BANQUET is very much alive and taking names. There's a nod to seminal influence Robert Johnson, whose "Love in Vain" is a mandolin-accompanied highlight. The climax arrives in the form of "You Can't Always Get What You Want," bearing references to the fallout of the Swinging London era. ...

Recorded between 1968 & 1971. Includes liner notes by Pete Townshend, John Atkins, and Chris Charlesworth. Though Pete Townshend was originally unhappy with WHO'S NEXT, it was quickly welcomed by critics and fans, becoming one of the most celebrated titles in their enduring catalog. His frustrations boiled down to the album being a compromised version of a larger work he'd envisioned, LIFEHOUSE, which proved too unwieldy to be realized. Expanded to a two-disc set with essays by both Townshend and John Atkins, the original nine-song album is expanded with six additional studio tracks. These include earlier versions of the album's songs and a cover of Holland-Dozier-Holland's "Baby Don't You Do It." Recorded in New York during the spring of 1971 in the midst of a fraying relationship with producer Kit Lambert, the early cuts clearly don't have the sonic breadth and wallop of what the Who achieved back in England later in the year, but are fascinating nonetheless. The second disc was recorded live before an invited audience, and was originally part of the album's grand plan. Mixing new material with covers ("Road Runner;" Mose Allison's "Young Man Blues") and original tunes from their past (the anthem "My Generation"), the band plays with a palpable urgency and fire. This was the Who at the peak of its powers, a status the group would retain as ...

This live album was originally released as a double LP in 1982, when the Talking Heads were still extremely active. Twenty-two years later, the bonus-laden, two-CD reissue serves as a fascinating in-concert document of the phases the band went through during its first five years. The late-'70s tracks on the first disc show the early version of the band in all its geeky glory, mixing spastic New Wave quirkiness, funk rhythms, and art-school lyrics. It's intriguing to hear the difference between some of the songs' inception and their eventual recorded versions, such as a relatively straightforward "Electricity (Drugs)," which would turn ominous and atmospheric on FEAR OF MUSIC. The second disc captures the expanded, early-'80s version of the band, with extra musicians and backing vocalists in tow, tackling the fugue-like art-funk masterpieces of the aforementioned album and REMAIN IN LIGHT. It's all the more impressive to hear the interlocking of the guitars, keyboards, and percussion achieved without the benefit of studio overdubbing, and David Byrne's near-manic intensity is even more focused and affecting in the live setting. Even vinyl freaks/Heads maniacs who hung on to the original LP for two decades will need to get this, if only for the wealth of indispensable bonus tracks. Up until 2004, Stop Making ...

With 2006's RUDEBOX Robbie Williams moved from adult-alternative pop-rock to unabashed dance-pop. It was a welcome change of pace, given the lackluster nature of the album's predecessors. Part bouncy club set and part new wave rave-up, RUDEBOX finds Williams sounding freer and more fun than he has in a long time. The synthy, hip-hop robo-groove of the title track that opens the album wastes no time getting the party started. One of the album's pleasant surprises, however, is its sense of variety. For starters, Williams chooses an intriguing array of covers, ranging as far afield as Manu Chao, the Human League, and My Robot Friend. "Kiss Me" is 1980s-flavored dance music with a dash of disco, whereas "The 90s" is a dreamy downtempo tune that has ...
