Until today I hadn’t read up on the Blue Note release schedule. My heart skipped a beat for this Classic release due in oktober.
Have been hoping for a re release for so long, very happy with this.
The one forthcoming BNC release which is of interest is Lonnie Smith ‘Drives’. Always eluded me in the past.
Can Live in Aston 1977, the latest in an ongoing series of Can album releases focusing on the band’s live performances, is set for release on vinyl, CD and digitally on 31 May 2024 via Mute and Future Days.
Live in Aston 1977 is a whole new lens through which we can view a unique band with seemingly inexhaustible energy for live performance. It comes at a difficult period for Can; their recently released eighth studio album, Saw Delight, had been badly received and although posterity has been kinder, the reviews on release were savage. It might be expected that the live performances from this time would reflect some of the criticisms of the album, that they were slowing down, perhaps even feeling a little jaded, but it cements the notion that Can live, at any period, was mercurial.
Within the Can Live series, this is the first to feature bassist Rosko Gee (Traffic) who had recently joined Irmin Schmidt, Jaki Liebezeit, Michael Karoli, and Holger Czukay (who, relieved of bass duties is credited with “waveform radio and spec. sounds” on the album), and would perform with them until the band’s split in 1979.
Joni Mitchell- The Asylum Albums (1972-1975). A 4 Blu-ray set featuring Remastered hi-res stereo, Dolby Atmos mixes and Quadio mixes. Can only find this on rhino records u.s. site at the moment, hopefully it will become available more generally.
26th July.
As long as it is better than his last album, which was a stinker.
Transmissions is an album written by Amos and the single Hold On Tight sounds more like the Amos we all know. The last two tribute albums were awful but I think there is hope with the new album

Thanks for the info John, that sounds encouraging.
If the single’s anything to go by, the new Dave Gilmour album out on 6th September (Roger Waters’ birthday, conspiracy theory fans!) is definitely a release I’m NOT looking forward to.
Joni Mitchell - The Asylum Albums 1976-1980
Interesting to see what the Hi Res is priced at?
I suppose it was inevitable that the sleeve would be changed on Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter.
Out on 21st June
Shame they changed the cover.
