Highway: 30 Years of America
: :Long before MTV unplugged, America wed innocuous West Coast folk à la CSNY to post-British invasion pop (Beatles producer George Martin twiddled the knobs on many of their most enduring hits) with just a hint of psychedelic madness, managing to create something uniquely, well, American. Though many detractors may question whether a three-disc, 30-year retrospective is necessary or even palatable, it can be argued that Jane's Addiction, Cowboy Junkies, Counting Crows, Edie Brickell, and Joe Pernice's vaguely psychedelic acoustic rock wouldn't have found a toehold had their audiences not cut their teeth ...

Hits of the 30's & 40's, Vol. 1 & 2
:Album Details:The Era of Big Band Swing Represented the First Real Instance of Jazz Music, Or Very Close Derivatives of Jazz, Becoming Part of the Mainstream of Popular Music. The Tunes Became Standards of the Time that People Whistled on their Way to Work, the Musicians Became Superstars Mobbed by Fans, and Top Names Like Artie Shaw, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Glenn Miller and Harry James Sold Records by the Millions. Swing, was the Pop of Its Day!

Play Me: The Complete Uni Studio Recordings...Plus!
: :The seven studio albums Neil Diamond recorded for Uni Records between 1968 and 1972 are all collected on the three-disc collection Play Me: The Complete Uni Studio Recordings. And it's quite a revelation to listen to them front to back in succession like this, as these records highlight the most dramatic artistic evolution in Diamond's career. Diamond was no neophyte when he signed with Uni in '68; he'd already penned million-sellers like 'I'm a Believer' and 'Cherry Cherry.' But he was still coming into his own as a solo artist, and ...

: :Joanie Sommers was one of the first artists we reissued on our Collectors Choice Music label, but in our first run through her album catalog from Warner Bros., we concentrated on the more teen-oriented titles (like Johnny Get Angry) that she cut after gaining some fame from appearing on the '77 Sunset Strip' series. With this twofer, we revisit her more adult-oriented fare, which many of her fans regard more highly. The jazz-inflected 'Positively the Most' was her debut release for Warner in 1961. 'Softly the Brazilian Sound', was her ...
