Capitol レコード& CD

Review: The Beatles: The Red Album: 1962-1966 encapsulates the iconic band's early years with a dynamic selection of tracks that have now all been remastered at half speed so they sound extra good. This compilation showcases the evolution of their sound from the exuberant energy of 'Love Me Do' to the groundbreaking creativity of 'A Hard Day's Night' and beyond. There are also timeless hits like 'Twist and Shout' and 'Yesterday,' which means this collection serves as a definitive journey through the first part of the The Beatles' legendary catalogue. Each song is a direct portal back to the 60s and to the vibrant era of Beatlemania at the peak of its powers.

Review: After debuting atop the charts in numerous countries with his third studio album, The Show, Niall Horan returns with The Show: The Encore - a deluxe edition featuring nine bonus tracks. Packed with the very same pedal-noting ballads coming in the crispest, pop-sheeny quality, such as 'The Show', the complementary Encore Version hears Horan team up with John Legend for a refrain reimagining. Niall also collaborates with Lizzy McAlpine on a new version of 'You Could Start A Cult'. The collection also includes new live recordings from the Electric Picnic festival and Spotify Studios, plus alternate versions of 'Meltdown' and 'On A Night Like Tonight' from Niall's Vevo Extended Play session.

Review: Fifty years to the week of its original release, MPL and UMe announce the expanded 50th anniversary edition of Paul McCartney & Wings' iconic Band on the Run, due 2 February 2024.

Featuring the immortal title track, worldwide hit 'Jet,' the wistful 'Bluebird,' long-time live staple 'Let Me Roll It,' the multi-faceted 'Picasso's Last Words (Drink to Me)' and climactic closer 'Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five,' Band on the Run is undoubtedly Wings' most successful and celebrated release ever.
