Goosebumps cover my body every time I hear his voice. He is the only singer who has ever made me cry when I hear him sing. Arguably one of the greatest singers the world has ever known, very few fondly remember him today outside of certain music circles. I'm talking about Mario Lanza , one of the most talented tenors to ever live. Arturo Toscanini, one of the most acclaimed conductors of all time and best known as the music director of the NBC Symphony Orchestra, dubbed Mario Lanza the "Voice of the Century" and that's no understatement.

Los 40 años que han pasado desde que Roxy Music lanzó su disco debut homónimo no serán desapercibidos. Al parecer, entre los planes de la banda está el lanzar un box set conteniendo los ocho álbumes de la banda: Roxy Music , For Your Pleasure , Stranded , Country Life , Siren , Manifesto , Flesh And Blood y Avalon. Virgin informó que el nombre de la recopilación es Roxy Music: The Complete Studio Recordings 1972-1982, y que será todo un objeto de colección para los fanáticos de la [...]

Los Angeles Times (MCT) -- LOS ANGELES - Jonathan Ward's music room in his second-floor walk-up is a tight, comfortable space with three walls full of records and itsy speakers hung high on the walls in acoustically precise intervals. The 39-year-old writer, archivist, collector and, perhaps most important, listener has just received his copy of a project that has consumed him for the last 14 months. "Opika Pende: Africa at 78 RPM" is a four-disc, 100-song collection and companion book...

Not only is James Bond a prick , but he's also the focus of my favorite film franchise. There's nothing I don't love about Bond - including George Lazenby. As such, I'm practically having a heart-attack right now because The Bond 50 box set includes all 22 James Bond films in Blu-ray. I feel like Blu-ray is pretty pointless, and it would have been nice of MGM and 20th Century Fox to release this as less-expensive download (could care less about package, just want the movies). Anyway, the set can be yours for $200. [...]

This holiday season there are some very cool presents for the heavy rock fan in your life (i.e. yourself, your dad, older brother, the dude you buy weeed from behind the gas station). Deep Purple has a killer looking 2LP/2CD collection of all their BBC sessions and there's a box set of all the good Whitesnake albums (meaning the ones up to 1982). But number one on everyone's wish list should be this monster 6CD/1DVD Thin Lizzy box set of all their BBC recordings. Jeezus, these guys were busy! Thin Lizzy was pumping out albums on [...]

On 12/6, Hip-O will release The Return Of The Spectacular Spinning Songbook , a new live box set from Elvis Costello and his backing band the Imposters. But though Costello might be proud of the final product, he's made it pretty clear that he doesn't want us, the public, to buy it. On Costello's website, a post titled "Steal This Record" makes the reason plain: It costs too damn much. At Amazon , the box retails for $202.64, and the post on Costello's site says that this amount "appears to be either a [...]

El mes pasado nos enteramos que Elvis Costello estaba preparando el lanzamiento de un boxset titulado Elvis Costello & the Imposters: The Return of the Spectacular Spinning Songbook!!! el cual incluirá, entre otras cosas, un CD con canciones interpretadas en vivo en Los Angeles, un DVD y un exclusivo EP, todo por la módica suma de 268,09 dólares en Amazon . Pero Costello aconseja que gasten su plata en otra cosa. En un reciente post [...]

In 1966, in the wake of the critical acclaim from the masterpiece Pet Sounds , and coasting on the fame and fortune he'd earned for single-handedly competing with the entire nation of England for two whole years, Brian Wilson boasted to the press that the next Beach Boys album would be better still, grandiose beyond reckoning, as evolved from Pet Sounds as Pet Sounds had been from its predecessor, the goofy Beach Boys Party! album. Finally on November 1, 2011, we'll be getting the official, Capitol Records, Mike-and-Al-sanctioned confirmation that he [...]

A budget-priced collection of informative, well-produced jazz documentaries.

Sweden's Subliminal Sounds will be reissuing the landmark 2004 album "Ta Det Lugnt" by Dungen as a limited edition box set. Fully remastered from analog sources, the set will contain three 123 records and a full size poster, and be limited to just 1000 copies. From the label: "The original, and previously only available 2004 vinyl LP pressing, was incorrectly manufactured from digital master instead of analogue, had several defects and didn't sound at all as intended. We have now gone back to the original vinyl master and made a correct and [...]

What defines an artist's career? In the case of Leonard Cohen, it's this 17-disc retrospective.

With Earache Records re-releasing two of Akercocke's best albums, Chronozon and Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone, as a 2CD boxset today, we thought we'd revisit this often under-appreciated band and stick up the only promo video the band released for either of these records. Be warned - it's a little bit NSFW. Then again, [...]

Queen's middle period is celebrated with their second 40th Anniversary box set.

This weekend, the Dave Matthews Band will return to New York City with their traveling multi-day festival - Caravan - after Hurricane Irene forced the postponement of its final two days several weeks back. Moving just a bit north up the East River from Governor's Island to Randall's Island, the fest will retain its three-day format, where the DMB will be joined by the likes of Dispatch, who will play on Friday and Saturday nights, Warren Haynes, who will perform a special solo set, and vintage jam act From Good Homes. Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds [...]
