VA - The Beatles, Wings, Badfinger, Elephant's Memory ... - Apple Singles Collection (1968-1991) (16 CD, 2021)

 

Apple Records is a record label founded by the Beatles in 1968 as a division of Apple Corps Ltd. It was initially intended as a creative outlet for the Beatles, both as a group and individually, plus a selection of other artists including Mary Hopkin, James Taylor, Badfinger, and Billy Preston. In practice, the roster had become dominated by the mid-1970s with releases of the former Beatles as solo artists. Allen Klein managed the label from 1969 to 1973, then it was managed by Neil Aspinall on behalf of the Beatles and their heirs. Aspinall retired in 2007 and was replaced by Jeff Jones. 

Sting - ...Nothing Like The Sun (Expanded Edition) (2022) [FLAC]

Sting’s second solo album, 1987’s …Nothing Like the Sun, is now available via A&M/UMe in a digital-only 35th-Anniversary expanded edition. The 26-track set features the original 12 songs on the album and 14 bonus tracks, including B-sides, remixes, alternate versions, and instrumentals.

 

 

Frank Zappa - ZAPPA ’75: Zagreb/Ljubljana (2022/Hi-Res FLAC)

Frank Zappa's fall 1975 touring schedule brought him to two cities in Yugoslavia, marking the first and only time he played shows in that country. This 2-CD set combines performances from both shows, recorded live in Zagreb on 11/21/75 and Ljubljana on 11/22/75. Re-mixed from the original 1/2" 8-track tape masters by Craig Parker Adams and mastered by John Polito, this historical release is the only multi-tracked document of Zappa's rare band line-up, The Mothers, in the Vault.

 

Kansas - The Box Set Series (4 CD, 2014/FLAC)

 

Epic/Legacy's four-disc Kansas box set is cut from the same cloth as previous label collections like 2004's Sail On: The 30th Anniversary Collection 1974-2004 and 2008's Ultimate Kansas. Longtime fans will find nothing here that they don't already have in their libraries, but casual listeners will find that the bare-bones package offers up a nice cross section of radio hits and album cuts, without the exorbitant price tag.
