Choosing to extinguish the band name under which Gira & Jarboe had worked together for so long must not have been an easy step, but when they decided to end Swans with one last studio release as a prelude to a farewell tour, they did so with what turned out to be their biggest & best album ever. Interestingly, the double-disc, two-&-a-half-hour long Soundtracks makes no pretensions at being a uniform creation like The White Album or Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness; Gira's own notes ...

Available for the first time in many years, Friday Music is proud to announce the definitive remaster version of Blood, Sweat & Tears 4. Featuring the unmistakable voice of David Clayton Thomas, BST4 yielded the band a platinum+ LP with hits “ Lisa Listen to Me” & “ Go Down Gamblin’.” This was the last album from the original line up of charter members including D.C. Thomas, Steve Katz, Bobby Colomby, Lew Solof, etc. Even founder Al Kooper lends a hand on the project with his stunning arrangemen ...

This CD is a bit difficult to evaluate because it is so strange (&, at times, cheesy) in its design. The 72-minute disc is devoted to David Clayton-Thomas' tenure with the group, containing 17 songs covering the best-known tracks from their second album, Blood, Sweat & Tears, right up through their 1976 rendition of " Got to Get You into My Life" & beyond, up as far as " Katie Bell" & " Sweet Sadie the Savior" several membership changes later. A two-disc edition of this set is also available ...

The soul music of the 1960s has been reissued, repackaged, & reevaluated so many times that it seems impossible to believe yet another overview might offer any new insight. But what separates Bear Family's ten-volume Sweet Soul Music is the sheer breadth of the endeavor: each entry spans across all of the major U.S. R&B labels, negotiating the licensing snafus that undermine these types of anthologies to offer a true panoramic overview of soul's epic scope & scale. Listening to Sweet Soul Mu ...

The year 1961 ushered in more than just a new decade -- it heralded a new era in black popular music as the gritty, street-smart sound of postwar R&B gave way to the smooth, sophisticated approach spearheaded by Motown Records. The first entry in Bear Family's ten-volume Sweet Soul Music lays the foundation for the transformation to follow, cherry picking formative classics from then-fledgling Motown (the Miracles' " Shop Around") & Stax (Carla Thomas' " Shop Around"), the Memphis label that wou ...

Just a little over a year ago, street punk pioneers the Swingin' Utters played a show at the Troubadour in Hollywood. A little foresight & a few phone calls were just enough to get a mobile recording truck to show up the same day. At the end of the evening we had the raw materials for a monumental Live In A Dive. The set list highlights the Swingin' Utters best songs from each of their releases throughout their career. As with all Live In A Dive CDs, the booklet is a comic featuring the band ...

Like the similarly extensive four-CD sets released by EMI in 2008 for Gerry & the Pacemakers & Hermans Hermits, Good Golly, Miss Molly! The EMI Years 1963-1969 -- its four discs including a whopping 118 tracks -- is an acquisition that separates the mere British Invasion fanatic from the dangerous obsessive. Its very existence is astonishing considering that the Swinging Blue Jeans had far less commercial success than either Gerry & the Pacemakers or Hermans Hermits, with jus ...
