I Supertramp festeggiano i 40 anni di Crime of the Century



Crime of the Century, il famoso album dei Supertramp pubblicato nel 1974 (il loro terzo, ma il loro primo con quella che sarà la formazione classica e più di successo), uscirà il prossimo 8 dicembre in varie edizioni speciali per celebrarne il 40° anniversario.

Scritto e cantato dai due leader della band, Roger Hodgson e Rick Davies, fu l’album che portò i Supertramp dall’anonimato al successo e che viene ricordato come uno dei classici progressive- pop/rock degli anni 70, che ai tempi veniva sfruttato anche per testare gli impianti hi-fi dato l’alto livello della sua produzione; contiene alcuni dei brani più famosi del loro repertorio, tra cui School, Dreamer, Bloody Well Right e la semi-strumentale title-track, affiancati a brani meno conosciuti al grande pubblico ma adorati dai fan come Hide in Your Shell, particolarmente sentito per il significativo testo che si rivolge col cuore in mano alle persone timide.

Ci saranno vari formati di questa uscita celebrativa, tra cui un Pure-Audio BluRay (che dovrebbe garantire la massima qualità audio possibile in stereo, visto che purtroppo, a meno di smentite, non avrà l’audio in 5.1), un CD “semplice” con l’album originale remasterizzato da Ray Staff, un LP a 180 grammi (che assicura una maggior qualità di riproduzione rispetto al vinile più leggero), e due box.
Un box sarà costituito da due CD e un booklet di 24 pagine con foto e interviste a Roger Hodgson, Dougie Thomson, John Helliwell, Bob Siebenberg (praticamente quattro su cinque componenti della band originale), Ken Scott (produttore dell’album) e Dave Margereson (l’allora manager del gruppo); il secondo CD è la registrazione del concerto tenuto a Londra all’Hammersmith Odeon nel Marzo 1975, mixato dai nastri originali dallo stesso Ken Scott, e contenente oltre all’intero Crime eseguito dal vivo anche brani di quello che sarebbe stato il loro album successivo, “Crisis? What Crisis?”.
L’altro box invece al posto dei CD avrà i vinili: tre LP (sempre da 180g) con lo stesso contenuto audio (album originale e concerto), ma a quanto pare il pezzo con le interviste sarà più lungo rispetto al box precedente, e inoltre ci saranno due stampe 10×8 e un codice per il download digitale.

Sicuramente una lodevole iniziativa per ricordare al grande pubblico che grande album sia Crime of the Century e magari per farlo scoprire a chi ancora non lo conosce; sappiamo però che i fan incalliti della band resteranno delusi in quanto, interviste e rimasterizzazioni a parte, non c’è molto di nuovo, visto che il concerto girava già da anni sotto forma di bootleg (seppure ovviamente in qualità audio inferiore a quella che si suppone avremo nella nuova edizione), e si sperava nell’inclusione di demo, video e altro materiale inedito e raro dell’epoca di cui si conosce l’esistenza ma che evidentemente si è preferito conservare per un futuro box antologico.

Dispiace, infine, che il leader attuale Rick Davies (avendo Hodgson abbandonato il gruppo nel 1983 per proseguire come solista) si sia rifiutato di prendere parte alle interviste, probabilmente in segno di protesta verso i suoi ex-compagni con cui di recente ha avuto grossi screzi (legati anche all’uscita del DVD di Paris), e che forse ha anche deciso di interrompere definitivamente la sua carriera musicale.
Attualmente dunque chi vuole ascoltare metà dei brani dei Supertramp eseguiti dal vivo dal suo autore e interprete originale, deve necessariamente andare a vedere un concerto di Roger Hodgson, che da anni gira il mondo con un’ottima band che non fa rimpiangere quella originale e che nel 2012 ha anche fatto tre date italiane.

Queen Forever: il ritorno della voce di Freddie Mercury in tre brani inediti

 Il 10 Novembre uscirà per la Virgin Records una nuova raccolta dei Queen, intitolata Queen Forever e contenente tre brani inediti con Freddie Mercury alla voce:

-"Let Me In Your Heart Again", registrato dalla band al completo per le sessioni di The Works (quindi 1983/84) e rimasto incompiuto; il brano, scritto da Brian May, è stato qualche anno dopo ceduto ad Anita Dobson (futura moglie di Brian) per un suo album, ma la sua versione resta comunque poco conosciuta ai fan, e in ogni caso la versione cantata da Freddie era rimasta finora totalmente inedita, non circolando nemmeno in modo non ufficiale tra i numerosi demo della band trapelati in rete. Evidentemente il brano rimasto incompiuto era comunque quasi terminato, e a Brian e Roger non è rimasto altro da fare in tempi recenti che qualche overdubs di chitarra e l'aggiunta dei cori; sembra quindi confermato che il basso sia stato suonato ai tempi della registrazione originale proprio da John Deacon, che invece al presente si è ritirato dai Queen, e quindi il risultato finale ci fa sentire comunque i quattro membri originali della band;

-"Love Kills - The Ballad", un brano pubblicato da Freddie solista nel 1984, che rappresentò anche il primo singolo a suo nome, in collaborazione con Giorgio Moroder; questa nuova versione è di base quella registrata dai Queen, sempre al completo e sempre nel 1983, ma con l'aggiunta di nuove parti di chitarra e batteria, anche se all'ascolto sembra piuttosto che la voce di Freddie Mercury sia la stessa della versione poi pubblicata. In ogni caso la rivisitazione in chiave Queen ha trasformato un brano synth-pop moderatamente veloce in una ballata rock d'atmosfera;

-"There Must Be More To Life Than This", in duetto con Michael Jackson: già da qualche anno i Queen superstiti nelle interviste affermano di essere al lavoro sui brani che nel 1983 Freddie Mercury registrò insieme a Michael Jackson, che come i fan accaniti sanno furono almeno tre (oltre a questa, State of Shock e Victory), facendo anche intendere però che gli eredi di Jackson hanno a più riprese concesso e ritirato l'autorizzazione ad usare questi brani. Non ci è dato sapere se gli altri due brani mancanti vedranno mai una release ufficiale, ma per ora dovremo accontentarci di uno solo di questi duetti, probabilmente il meno atteso in quanto il brano è già conosciuto per essere stato poi pubblicato dal solo Freddie nel suo primo album solista Mr.Bad Guy nel 1985. E apparentemente la parte vocale di Freddie sembra molto simile a quella poi effettivamente uscita, mentre la parte di Jackson è ufficialmente una novità (in realtà non ufficialmente era già trapelato il demo del solo Jackson che cantava il brano sulla base di piano suonata da Freddie, il che ci fa venire il dubbio che forse il duetto sia stato creato "artificialmente", e anche la dichiarazione del produttore William Orbit sembra far intendere questo); in compenso però viene confermato che la traccia strumentale è quella originale suonata dai Queen, anche se non è chiaro se sia quella suonata nel 1981 durante le sessioni di Hot Space o nel 1984 per The Works. Viene inoltre specificato che questo è il "William Orbit Mix", quindi chissà se successivamente ne verrà fuori anche una versione diversa a cura di un altro produttore...

La compilation in questione, oltre ai tre inediti menzionati, conterrà inoltre altri brani vecchi della band scelti da May e Taylor con l'obiettivo di mettere insieme una raccolta definitiva dei loro brani romantici:
alcuni di questi sono stati dei successi ma molti altri sono brani poco conosciuti finora apparsi solo sugli album; si parla anche di nuove registrazioni di brani conosciuti, ma non è stato al momento annunciato a quali brani ci si riferisca, e se si tratti sempre di nuove registrazioni fatte da May e Taylor in anni recenti o piuttosto di esecuzioni vocali alternative fatte da Mercury ai tempi.

Queen Forever sarà disponibile in due formati, uno con un CD di 20 brani e uno con doppio CD di 36 brani.


Tracklist versione 1 CD:
Let Me In Your Heart Again
Love Kills – The Ballad
There Must Be More To Life Than This (William Orbit Mix)
It’s A Hard Life
You’re My Best Friend
Love Of My Life
Drowse

Play The Game
Dear Friends
You’re My Best Friend

Da segnalare un po' di delusione da parte dei fan, che seppur entusiasti dei nuovi brani (in particolar modo di Let Me In), si aspettavano sia gli altri due duetti con Michael Jackson sia altri brani inediti con Freddie alla voce (che sappiamo esistere proprio perchè i demo sono trapelati in rete già da tempo), anche in base alle interviste degli ultimi anni di May e Taylor che lasciavano presagire più o meno esplicitamente la riscoperta di altri brani.

The Art of McCartney, a new tribute album to Paul McCartney featuring some of the world's greatest artists




The Art Of McCartney is a long awaited and very special project celebrating one of the most universally acclaimed songwriters of all time, Sir Paul McCartney. With backing provided by McCartney’s long time band, classic tracks from his Beatles and solo career, including Wings, have been recorded by some of the world’s greatest artists.
The calibre of artists showing their respect to Paul’s songwriting genius is truly staggering: Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, The Cure, The Who’s Roger Daltrey, Brian Wilson, Alice Cooper, Def Leppard, Dr John, Yusuf (Cat Stevens), Barry Gibb, Jamie Cullum, KISS, Chrissie Hynde, ELO legend Jeff Lynne, and many more have recorded McCartney songs exclusively for this album.

The Art Of McCartney is the brainchild of Los Angeles producer, Beatles and McCartney fanatic, Ralph Sall, who has driven this project from conception to delivery: Sall met and worked alongside Paul in 2003 when they revived a song from the 1971 Ram sessions for a movie soundtrack ("The In-Laws"); Ralph then asked Paul and his publishing company if they would support his making this album to honour him. They came back with Paul’s own blessing and thumbs aloft for the project to go ahead.

Ralph became a man on a mission, first recruiting McCartney’s gifted backing guitarists, Rusty Anderson and Brian Ray, keyboard player Paul “Wix” Wickens, plus the larger than life drummer, Abe Laboriel, Jr; they know Paul’s extensive back catalogue intimately and this is the first time they have recorded his songs with anyone else since they first started working together with Paul over 12 years ago.
Ralph then set about approaching the world’s greatest performers to invite them to step forward and make their mark. This has been a labour of love, not only for Ralph but also for the artists who gave their time to be part of it. All have spoken of the importance of McCartney and his songwriting in their own careers and wanted to show their appreciation.


Legendary Beach Boy, Brian Wilson, was the first to take up the challenge. Undoubtedly he set the bar very high with his rendition of Wanderlust from the underrated 1982 album Tug Of War.
There are very few artists whose own work rivals The Beatles, so when producer Ralph Sall approached Bob Dylan to take part, he knew it was ambitious. Dylan’s choice was Things We Said Today – a track from The Beatles’ soundtrack A Hard Days Night – and audiences will be captivated as he growls his way through his remarkable version.

All aspects of Paul’s peerless back catalogue have been explored from The Beatles to his experimental early solo work, to Wings and his latter solo output. Lesser-known hidden classics such as Junk and Every Night are given a fresh outing and interpretation.

Released on November 17th in several formats:

Oasis: (What's The Story) Morning Glory? reissue with unreleased bonus tracks

After the re-release of their first album in May, Oasis will reissue their second album (What's The Story) Morning Glory? on 29th Semptember 2014.
The new edition has been remastered from the original tapes by Ian Cooper at London’s Metropolis Studios, supervised by the album’s original producer Owen Morris. A group of contributors including original members of the inner circle who were involved in studio and live recordings came together to hunt down unheard demos and live material. The team also unearthed a wealth of never-seen-before photos and vintage memorabilia which will be included in the new artwork.
Alongside the original album remastered, the Special Edition CD includes two CDs of all the B-sides plus rare and unreleased Oasis tracks from the Morning Glory era.
The limited edition box set comes packaged in a deluxe box with magnetic closure lid, and includes both the three CD set and vinyl edition of the album as well as a 56-pages hard backed coffee table book which includes extensive sleeve notes from music critic Neil McCormick.
Additional content includes a replica 12" promo (Cum On Feel The Noise/Lynch Mob Beats Remix), Exclusive 7" vinyl of Hello (demo) - She's Electric (demo), replica promo cassette plus exclusive merch.
Highlights of the bonus content include:
• Previously unheard demos of She’s Electric and Rockin’ Chair recorded at Mark Coyle’s Manchester studio.
• Demos of Some Might Say, Hey Now, and Bonehead's Bank Holiday recorded by Mark Coyle for the first time at the band’s soundcheck, Club Quattro in Tokyo in September 1994.
• Live recordings from legendary gigs such as Knebworth House, Maine Road Stadium, Earls Court and Bath Pavilion.
• All of the Morning Glory  B-sides.

The LP will also be available separately: it's manufactured on heavyweight vinyl and contains a high quality MP3 (320kbps) download code including all the bonus content featured on the Special Edition CD.

Queen Live at the Rainbow 1974 pubblicato a Settembre in sette formati


Il primo vero album live dei Queen vede la luce dopo 40 anni di attesa!
Il concerto del 31 marzo 1974 è una pietra miliare nella storia del rock, il culmine del loro primo tour inglese da headliners. La pubblicazione era prevista per lo stesso anno, ma la forza creativa dei Queen in studio fece sì che il progetto, anche se completato, slittasse e venisse poi accantonato. A novembre fecero altri due show tutto-esaurito al Rainbow, il 19 e il 20.
Ora il tutto uscirà in CD, doppio vinile LP, DVD e Blu-Ray SD, in versione standard, edizione speciale limitata e digitale.
Queen, Virgin Records e Eagle Rock Entertainment sono infatti fieri di annunciarne la pubblicazione ─ lunedì 8 settembre nel Regno Unito dalla Virgin Records e martedì 9 negli USA dalla Hollywood Records ─ anche in quadruplo vinile boxato e in super deluxe collector’s edition, comprendente un libro di 60 pagine!














Ecco tutti i dettagli dei sette formati disponibili:

  • 1 CD con il concerto di novembre
  • 2 CD digi-pack, show di marzo sul primo e di novembre sul secondo
  • DVD dello show di novembre, con 4 bonus track dallo show di marzo
  • Blu-Ray SD dello show di novembre, con 4 bonus track dallo show di marzo
  • Doppio LP in edizione limitata con copertina apribile: show di marzo sul primo (in versione "1974", cioè con il mix originale fatto in quell'anno in previsione dell'uscita dell'album live, pare contenga anche qualche ritocco fatto in studio; non disponibile in nessun altro formato) e gli highlights di novembre sul secondo
  • Quadruplo LP in box in edizione limitata: due LP con le registrazioni non editate e non remixate di marzo e gli altri due con quelle di novembre, missaggio del 19 (in quota molto minore) e del 20 (stragrande maggioranza)
  • Super Deluxe Box in edizione limitata: box contenente:
    • 2 CD, uno con le registrazioni di marzo e l’altro con quelle di novembre
    • 1 DVD / 1 Blu-Ray SD dello show di novembre con 4 bonus track da quello di marzo
    • Libro di 60 pagine con copertina rigida, con tante foto inedite, riproduzioni di articoli dell’epoca dal The Times, da Disc e da Music Echo, inclusa anche una serie di 4 articoli successivamente pubblicati
    • Riproduzioni dei biglietti del concerto di marzo, quelli effettivamente usati dai genitori di Brian!
    • Riproduzione della cartella con le disposizioni del tour del concerto di marzo del promotore Mel Bush, inclusa una lettera con l'invito al gruppo di non sfasciare le stanze dell’hotel!
    • Una riproduzione della brochure souvenir di 8 pagine
    • Due spille-distintivo, riproduzione di quelle disponibili al concerto
    • Riproduzione del poster color porpora e color oro dei concerti di marzo
    • Riproduzione delle foto del The Telegraph Magazine, con il gruppo insieme a delle modelle
    • Riproduzione dei pass adesivi per il palco del concerto di marzo.

Dagli show di novembre, Great King Rat and Modern Times Rock'n'Roll (from the first album), See What A Fool I've Been e Flick of the Wrist vengono pubblicate per la prima volta in un prodotto live dei Queen.
Parte dei concerti di novembre erano usciti nel Box Of Tricks in VHS, ma quello di marzo non era mai stato pubblicato ufficialmente.
Nella VHS del 1992 (Box Of Tricks), Liar, Keep Yourself Alive, Father To Son e Jailhouse Rock erano presenti solo in parte, mentre ora usciranno complete per la prima volta. Modern Times Rock'n'Roll, Flick Of The Wrist, Seven Seas of Rhye e Big Spender dagli show di novembre non erano nella VHS e quindi escono per la prima volta.
Queste 15 canzoni dei concerti di marzo e novembre 1974 al Rainbow non sono mai state pubblicate in nessun album ufficiale dei Queen: Procession, Father to Son, Ogre Battle, Son and Daughter, White Queen, Great King Rat, The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke, Modern Times Rock'n'Roll, Liar, See What A Fool I've Been, Flick of the Wrist, In the Lap of the Gods (not to be confused with In The Lap Of The Gods... Revisited), The March of the Black Queen, Bring Back that Leroy Brown e Stone Cold Crazy.

New Simply Red deluxe expanded editions: Home, Simplified, Stay, Live in Sicily, Cuba!

Simply Red so far have released all their albums as deluxe editions, except for the last three, which were released under their own label simplyred.com.
At last we finally get news about the missing album being released as deluxe editions under Edsel Records on 30th June, and it seems the news are very good for Simply Red fans!
While Simplified (2005) and Stay (2007) have been expanded to a 2CD+DVD set, Home (2003) is even a 3CD+DVD set! The audio bonuses are basically all the B-sides which have been released along with the singles off the albums, including several remixes and live tracks (for Stay there's also one new song not included in the original album), while each DVD features a Mick Hucknall recent interview commenting on the album, the official promo videos for the album's singles along with some "making of" and album EPKs and, most surprisingly, some TV performances taken from BBC archives!


This Edsel campaign about Simply Red will also feature the re-release of two concert videos, released at the time only as DVDs. Now Home Live In Sicily and Cuba! are re-released as 4-discs set each: one BluRay (in fact the original films are in HD), one DVD and two CDs with the whole concert in audio only. Of course the original bonus documentaries and features are present too.
