I'll start the ball rolling...
Bonnie Prince Billy: Singer's Grave A Sea Of Tongues
Actually released earlier this week, as is his recent style without any advance notice or promotion. He has made some of his most intriguing music on his recent albums for me. This latest is largely re-workings from 'Wolfroy' apparently. Review on Pitchfork
'Bruce Springsteen: The Album Collection Vol. 1 1973-1984,' is a boxed set comprised of remastered editions of the first seven albums recorded and released by Bruce Springsteen for Columbia Records between 1973 and 1984. All of the albums are newly remastered (five for the first time ever on CD) and all seven are also making their remastered debut on vinyl.
The seven albums are recreations of their original packaging and the set is accompanied by a 60 page book featuring rarely-seen photos, memorabilia and original press clippings from Springsteen's first decade as a recording artist.
Acclaimed engineer Bob Ludwig, working with Springsteen and longtime engineer Toby Scott, has remastered these albums, all newly transferred from the original analogue masters using the Plangent Process playback system.
The Album Collection Vol. 1 1973-1984 includes:
Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. (1973)
The Wild, The Innocent and The E Street Shuffle (1973)
Born To Run (1975)
Darkness On The Edge Of Town (1978)
The River (1980)
Nebraska (1982)
Born In The U.S.A. (1984)
U2 Songs of Innocence though I would think most people have heard it by now.
Super Deluxe set whatever that means.
This has just been released.
Bowie 3cd set called Nothing Has Changed.
