Next month, Pulp's 1995 album 'Different Class' to get deluxe reissue

Pulp will reissue their 1995 Mercury Prize winning and chart-topping album, Different Class, on October 24 via Island Records/UMe. The album will be available as both a quadruple LP set and on double CD format and is expanded to include their 1995 Glastonbury Festival set in full. It will be the first time that the Glastonbury performance has been released.

Following the release of Pulp’s recent number one album More and an acclaimed UK and Ireland arena tour, European headline shows and a weekend-defining set at this year's Glastonbury Festival - the reissue of Different Class builds on what has already been a very special year for the group.

Jarvis Cocker explains how this new edition presents the album in an improved format, “This 45rpm double album version of Different Class will make it sound a whole lot better. We were obsessed with the fact that this was our 'Pop' album (we had finally achieved some 'popularity' when 'Common People' was a hit) and, as everyone knows, all pop albums have 12 songs on them: 6 tracks per side. Only problem: this took the running time of the record to 53 minutes. We were told this would compromise the audio quality of the vinyl record - but we were more bothered about not compromising the quality of our Pop Dream"...

"The Glastonbury performance in June 1995 will always be the most significant concert of Pulp’s career. Three weeks after “Common People” hit No. 2 in the national charts the band filled in for The Stone Roses at the last minute. We played 'Sorted For E’s & Wizz,' 'Mis-Shapes' & 'Disco 2000' - all receiving their live debut. This is first time the whole concert (including the long, drone-based intro) has been made available. Your chance to relive an historical moment."

The deluxe 4LP set includes a 28-page booklet with a newly commission essay based on new interviews with the band members, plus unseen images from photographers Rankin and Donald Milne (who took the photos for the original release) and the band’s own archives. The original "aperture" sleeve design, which encouraged purchasers to "Choose your own front cover," came with six double-sided inserts/art cards of alternative cover images depicting cardboard cutouts of the band members captured in a variety of situations. This has been fully recreated for the LP set, which will also include a 12" by 12" poster featuring miniatures of the cutouts themselves, which fans can excise if they wish and place in the settings of their choice. The 2CD set comes housed in a digi-sleeve with 28-page booklet.

The remastering/mastering (and lacquer cutting) by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road, who co-mastered alongside Kevin Metcalfe, Different Class for its initial release three decades ago, has been overseen by Jarvis Cocker and Mark Webber.

Out now: 'Clams Casino' by Brian Dunne

NYC-based indie rock singer/songwriter Brian Dunne released new album Clams Casino last week on Missing Piece Records.

He describes the song "Max's Kansas City" as "stream-of-consciousness lyrical madness about all the things that drive me nuts”...“I truly wrote it for myself. I was completely alone on a hellish tour of Europe, and it rained like 17 days I was there. I was like, 'What does it all mean?!' I wrote this song to be like, 'It means nothing.' Loosen up! Have a beer. Talk to some strangers. So your fate has been predetermined, and you aren’t the bourgeoisie? That’s alright."

Stream "Max's Kansas City"

Order here: Brian Dunne - Clams Casino

Over the summer, John Mayer drew attention to Dunne by playing the album's title track on his SiriusXM show. 

Clams Casino, the album, was self-produced at Dunne's home in Red Hook, Brooklyn. His fourth solo album follows his 2023 release Loser on the Ropes and two releases from Fantastic Cat. Accompanying himself on nearly all instruments, Dunne sought inspiration from an era of classic rock that tentatively embraced the new wave sound of the late-’70s, incorporating keyboards and synths without delving fully into the digital gloss of the CD era.

Brian Dunne has shared bills with Cat Power to Caroline Rose, performed on songs with Lizzie No ("Lagunita") and Caitlin Rose ("The Kids Are All Grown"), and in 2021 landed an unexpected hit in the Netherlands with his standalone single “New Tattoo,” which led to him performing to an audience of 17,000 at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome.

Juliana Hatfield's 'Lightning Might Strike' arrives in December

Juliana Hatfield's new single “Scratchers” is out with a new video. It is from her 21st solo album Lightning Might Strike, available December 12 via American Laundromat Records. Pre-orders are currently available for CD, cassette, and LP in 4 vinyl color options. Signed copies, limited-edition bundles, and test pressings are also available. Learn more at American Laundromat Records.

The album captures a period of major change. “It was a difficult time for me when I started working on this album. I had just uprooted myself from the city apartment building where I’d been living for twenty years to a house in a more rural town two hours away where I knew no one when one of my best friends died (‘Ashes’), and then my dog died (‘Constant Companion’), then my mother was diagnosed with esophagus cancer (‘Scratchers’). I was pretty depressed for a solid year (‘Long Slow Nervous Breakdown’) and was lost and very lonely (‘Harmonizing With Myself’). I was thinking about fate and circumstance and about how I’d ended up where I was (‘Where Are You Now’).”

Track Listing:

1. Fall Apart (3:38)
2. Long Slow Nervous Breakdown (2:30)
3. Popsicle (3:20)
4. My House Is Not My Dream House (3:36)
5. Harmonizing With Myself (3:31)

'Wings,' a new retrospective on Paul McCartney & Wings, slated for November

WINGS is a new anthology of the popular band that was a major part of 1970s music. Overseen by Paul McCartney, WINGS will be available on Nov. 7 and includes hits like “Band on the Run, “Live and Let Die,” “Jet” and “Let 'Em In” that still feature in Paul McCartney’s live shows to this day.

All physical formats come with a booklet including an introduction from Paul. Configurations include the 3LP Limited Edition Color Vinyl collection, 1CD and 1LP. Both 3LP and 2CD editions include an expanded 32-page booklet featuring photographs, artwork, paintings, trivia, and information about the band. 

Artwork for WINGS was overseen alongside Paul by Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell of Hipgnosis -- the iconic design studio that worked with Paul for seven Wings albums, including Band on the Run, Venus and Mars, Wings Over America, and Wings Greatest. The expanded booklet includes extensive album-by-album notes on the artwork written by Po, with additional editorial by Pete Paphides, and features original artwork by Humphrey Ocean – who first worked with Wings on some of the artwork for Wings at the Speed of Sound before being invited by Paul and Linda on tour in 1976 as their artist in residence — rendering behind-the-scenes sketches of the band.

The Blu-ray version of WINGS is the first time Wings songs are available on a physical format in Dolby Atmos. See a complete list of formats and/or preorder: WINGS Collection

Gorillaz, led by Damon Albarn, announce 2026 return with 'The Mountain'

Gorillaz will release a new studio album, The Mountain, on March 20 via Kong. First track "The Happy Dictator (feat. Sparks)" is out now, listen HERE. Watch visualizer HERE.

The Mountain is Gorillaz’ ninth studio album. It features Johnny Marr, Sparks, Paul Simonon of The Clash, Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals, IDLES, and more, plus the voices of friends and collaborators who have gone before us, including Dennis Hopper, Bobby Womack, Mark E Smith of The Fall, and Tony Allen. 

Artists perform in five languages on the album: Arabic, English, Hindi, Spanish and Yoruba.

The artwork for The Mountain sees visual artist Jamie Hewlett again handle the hand-drawn images which capture Murdoc, Noodle, Russel and 2D’s time in India working on the new album, available both as a book and as a collection of 12x12 prints.

A tour will visit arenas across the UK and Ireland in Spring 2026, and follows the sold-out 5-star House of Kong exhibition and four performances at the UK's Copper Box Arena. A one-off headline show at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 20 has support from Sparks. Dates and ticket information below and at Gorillaz.com.

Circumstances now find Murdoc Niccals, Russel Hobbs, 2D and Noodle in India, having made their way to Mumbai with the help of four fake passports courtesy of a New York business acquaintance of Murdoc. The band has turned its back on international pop stardom, with our heroes now immersed in the rhythms of mystical music-making, as they navigate the mountainous terrain of this thing called life.

Gorillaz drummer Russel Hobbs said - “As space dust we are here forever and that’s a mighty long time. This is a musical meditation infused with light. A journey of the soul, with beats…“

Fans around the world celebrated the return of Kong Studios - the home of Gorillaz. The band’s HQ since early 2000 (before falling into disrepair and eventually being burnt to the ground by Murdoc in 2008), the original Kong Studios was a ground-breaking virtual gathering place for fans, allowing them to connect and explore the band’s living quarters and recording studio, listen to music, play games, fight zombies, and much more. Now faithfully restored to its former glory, Kong Studios is back with a fresh lick of paint as a gamified, online fan experience. Visit Kong Studios HERE.

The Mountain will be available in the following formats: Digital Download; Standard CD; Deluxe 2CD (incl. selection of Mystery Show live tracks); Standard Vinyl; Hardback Book Vinyl Edition; Limited Edition Collectors Box (incl. Art Prints). Pre-order HERE.

Expanded reissue of Dream Syndicate's second album 'Medicine Show' to arrive in October, with U.S. tour to follow

After a long-protracted debate with Universal Music Group – Dream Syndicate revealed that it has earned the right to reissue their sophomore album Medicine Show from 1984 as a new, 42 song 4CD box expanded collection featuring 29 unreleased recordings from the band's 1983-84 era via their own Down There label, distributed by Fire Records.

This expanded deluxe edition CD collection features previously unreleased 1983-84 live recordings, radio sessions, rehearsals, demos and other unreleased from the band’s archive. A stand alone classic original album will also be available on vinyl.

A North American tour runs from 11/1-12/14. Click here to purchase tickets

“Let’s see—it took 6 months to make and over 30 years to get Medicine Show back in print,” said Steve Wynn of The Dream Syndicate. “I’d like to think that in both cases it was worth the wait. I can’t wait to get out there and revisit, inhabit and play the whole album on stage every night.”

The box set offers for the first time ever, the complete WXRT radio broadcast from the master tape (the original A&M Live LP was truncated) – plus rehearsal and live tapes of original bassist Kendra Smith – just before she exited the band.

The unreleased tracks are part of the untold story of Medicine Show – early primitive versions of original songs, cover songs that the band mangled into new forms, finding themselves along the way. No longer, can anyone say “you should have heard the original 1982 lineup on stage” – no, if you skipped the band performing 1983-84, you missed out. Shows from CBGB’s, Zaders, Soap Creek – reveal incendiary magic. In addition to the live shows, the remastered studio album (from the original analog tapes), now sounds as Steve recently declared, “as I remember hearing it while we mixed it”

Like many other psychologically complex albums upon their release, Lou’s Berlin, Neil’s On the Beach, Big Star Third, John Lennon’s solo debut Plastic Ono Band, The Who’s Quadrophenia, Dylan’s Blood On The Tracks - it takes a while, sometimes a long while to let it marinate into the psyche of the listener. The Medicine Show has arrived – long overdue.

For those who have read Steve Wynn’s recent memoir I Wouldn’t Say It If It Wasn’t True (Jawbone Press, 2024) – you know about the ‘breakdown’ he suffered while recording this album. 

Reissue producer/band historian Pat Thomas listened to dozens of rare tapes, choosing what needed to be mastered.

Boz Scaggs to make long-awaited album return in October

Singer/guitarist Boz Scaggs will release 'Detour,' which focuses on the Great American Songbook, on October 17 via Concord Records. It is his first new studio album in seven years. The first single is “I’ll Be Long Gone,” a newly arranged take on the fan-favorite track, also on Scaggs' 1969 self-titled debut.

“I had no intention of making a record when I started singing these songs,” Scaggs confesses. “It was all very casual at first, just an opportunity to explore a style of music I’ve always liked, to get together with a friend and play for the sheer joy of it.”

That friend is pianist Seth Asarnow, and their informal sessions together became the heart of Detour. The album started as a series of personal demos for Scaggs to expand his vocal stylings. The result is a mix of the familiar and the obscure that tips its hat to Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Irma Thomas and others. 

“If I look at myself as a musician over the years, I’d have to consider my primary instrument to be my voice,” he says. The veteran musician tackles Allen Toussaint’s “It’s Raining,” “The Very Thought Of You” and he revisited “I’ll Be Long Gone” at the suggestion of pianist Seth Asarnow. “I get a lot of requests for it,” Scaggs explains, “he put together this beautiful arrangement... it ended up falling in perfectly with everything else we did for this album.”

Track listing:

1. It's Raining
2. Angel Eyes
3. Once I Loved
4. The Very Thought of You
5. I'll Be Long Gone
6. Detour Ahead
7. I Could Have Told You
