Back catalogue: All genres

Review: Released to acclaim in 1985, The Falcon and the Snowman recounts the extraordinary true story of Christopher Boyce (Timothy Hutton) and Andrew Daulton Lee (Sean Penn), childhood friends who betrayed their country by selling U.S. satellite secrets to the Soviets in the 70s. The film's score, crafted by jazz virtuoso Pat Metheny alongside pianist Lyle Mays, is a masterful blend of tension and melancholy, enriched by orchestral arrangements from the National Philharmonic Orchestra. The standout track, 'This Is Not America,' features lyrics by David Bowie and became one of his notable hits of the decade, reaching No. 14 in the UK. All in all, an exclusive collector's box set.

Review: The Boston-based band The Post Pop Space Rock Be Bop Gospel Tabernacle Chorus and Orchestra was led by Webster Lewis and this album was recorded live in Oslo, Norway, in 1971. The original album was released in 1972 and this expanded edition includes previously unreleased songs, unseen photos and the full backstory of the historic concert. It is a rather rare recording that showcases spiritual and soul jazz at its finest and blends instrumental and vocal tracks for a unique, eclectic sound that has made it highly sought after. Newly transferred from the master tapes, it offers improved sound quality and is a must-buy for jazz cats.

Review: The chemistry between Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes, caught here live in AL in 1999, produces a dynamic performance that brings fresh life to classic rock anthems. Tracks like 'Celebration Day' and 'What Is & What Should Never Be' are delivered with incredible precision, each riff from Page cutting through the mix, while the Crowes' rhythm section provides a perfect backdrop. Chris Robinson's vocals are raw and commanding, particularly on 'Heartbreaker,' where he channels the energy of the original while adding his own emotive twist. The blues covers, like 'Sloppy Drunk' and 'Mellow Down Easy,' show off the band's versatility, giving a loose, electric vibe that contrasts beautifully with the more structured Zeppelin classics. A live performance that captures both the spirit of the originals and the fire of the setting.

Review: The fifth and final studio album by The Police, Synchronicity, released in June 1983, was the band's most successful effort, catapulting them to global stardom. The album featured four classic hit singles: 'Every Breath You Take,' 'King of Pain,' 'Wrapped Around Your Finger,' and 'Synchronicity II.' With over 8 million copies sold in the USA (8x platinum) and 300,000 in the UK (1x platinum), the total worldwide sales by the end of 1983 surpassed 20 million. The album, inspired by Arthur Koestler's "The Roots of Coincidence," garnered five Grammy Award nominations, including Album of the Year, in 1984. This first comprehensive archival album project for The Police has been compiled with full band cooperation. The expanded multi-format reissue features unreleased bonus material, new liner notes, interviews, rare archive memorabilia, and unseen photographs. The 4-LP set on standard black vinyl includes a 60-page lavish color book with unseen material, printed inner sleeves, and four art print photographs, all housed in a hardback slipcase. The track listing includes the original remastered ten-track LP, a 12-track collection of contemporaneous B-sides and singles bonus tracks, and two discs of previously unreleased alternate takes, out-takes, and instrumentals, making it the most complete and in-depth version of the album ever released.

Review: The long-awaited 6CD super deluxe edition of The Police's iconic 1983 album Synchronicity is finally here, offering fans a bountiful deeper exploration of works around the making of the album as well as previously unheard material. The band's final studio album, featuring hits like 'Every Breath You Take,' 'Wrapped Around Your Finger,' 'King of Pain,' and 'Synchronicity II,' sold 15 million copies globally, solidifying its place in rock history. This meticulously crafted reissue, created with the band's involvement, includes a remastered version of the original album, bonus tracks, and unreleased alternates, outtakes, and demos. Highlights include early versions of Andy Summers' 'Someone To Talk To' and Stewart Copeland's 'Brothers on Wheels,' as well as covers of Eddie Cochran's 'Three Steps To Heaven' and Chuck Berry's 'Rock and Roll Music.' The live recordings from their September 1983 concert at Oakland-Alameda Coliseum are a standout, capturing the band's electrifying stage presence. Accompanied by a 60-page hardcover book with new sleeve notes by Jason Draper and four art prints, this box set is a comprehensive celebration of Synchronicity.
