VA - Children Of Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From The Second Psychedelic Era 1976-1996 [4 CD, 2005/FLAC]
These
four discs, though chaotically sequenced, scour all sides of the ponds
to capture the vitality and innovation of mostly 1980-'85, introducing
(or reintroducing) to-be-influential bands like San Francisco's
Flamin' Groovies, New York's Raybeats, England's Soft Boys, Australia's
the Church and Sweden's Nomads. Where else can you find XTC spin-off
Dukes of Stratosphear, the La's "There She Goes" and the Bangles a
half-decade prior to their manic Monday, along with the Cramps, the
Plimsouls, the db's and the Bevis Frond in a single shebang—and with
Rhino's ample, informative, transcendent liner notes, to boot?

Bill Monroe & The Bluegrass Boys - Castle Studio 1950-1951: Complete Sessions (5 CD, 2017/FLAC)
For devotees of Bill Monroe's music, the CD box sets issued by BEAR FAMILY beginning in 1989 were the answer to a listener's dream: having the bluegrass originator's complete recordings tastefully collected in boxes, with informative books included. What we now have is something even more dreamlike: all the familiar Monroe recordings for DECCA in 1950-51, featuring lead singers Jimmy Martin, Carter Stanley, and Edd Mayfield, presented next to - unbelievably - all the outtakes (none previously issued) of all the tracks. Among other things, this means multiple takes of "Raw Hide". For musicians and careful listeners who have studied that spectacular recording for years, it's as though a new set of Stone Tablets has been found. It also means the "tape blip" we've always tolerated in The First Whippoorwill is now corrected, as the previously issued take was from a faulty tape dub whereas the "new" 1951 version is from the original master.
