Witchwood Records To Release Strawbs ‘Grave New World Live’ On Limited Edition Coloured Vinyl October 23, 2026

• One time only limited pressing
• The only live performance of 'Grave New World' in its entirety
• A live realisation of Cousins' vision for how his proudest work was to be experienced
• Produced and mixed by Larry Fast (Peter Gabriel, Bonnie Tyler, Kate Bush, Foreigner)
• Mastered at Abbey Road Studios by Geoff Pesche (Gorillaz, Coldplay, New Order, Dire Straits)
• 180g translucent red vinyl, gatefold outer sleeve, printed inner sleeve with deluxe trifold booklet

In marking the death of David Cousins on 13 July 2025, Witchwood Records is absolutely delighted to announce the release of the first recording from Strawbs 50th Anniversary – ‘Grave New World Live’.  This will be released as a limited pressing, just 1,000 for the world, gatefold LP with booklet – presented libretto-style, as was the original studio album. This is the first of a series of recordings to be released from Strawbs 50th. This release captures the only ever concert rendition of this landmark record.

Grave New World, released on 4 February 1972, reached number 11 in the UK Albums chart, selling almost 100,000 copies in the UK alone. It was one of the albums of which David Cousins was most proud. He continued to perform songs such as New World and Benedictus throughout his career.

In developing Strawbs 50th Anniversary, to be held in Lakewood, New Jersey, USA from 26 April through 28 April 2019, David decided that the programme should include the only live performance of the album. As such, he invited Wesley Stace to collaborate with him in writing a narration for this ‘theatrical performance’.

John Ford and Blue Weaver, both of whom had performed on the original album, were invited to take part. They were joined by Wesley Stace, Eric Bazilian (of the Hooters), Tony Fernandez, Brian Willoughby and Cathryn Craig. With only an afternoon’s rehearsal, the performance took place on the early evening of 27 April. As would be the case for a theatrical performance or classical concert, the audience was asked not to applaud until the end.

In addition to the numbers that David sang, and Wesley’s narration, John Ford sang Heavy Disguise and Wesley performed The Flower and the Young Man.

David’s ill health, together with COVID-19, meant that it wasn’t possible for Grave New World Live to be completed as soon as he would have wished. Work had already been started by Larry Fast, a pioneer in electronic music production, and record producer Blue Weaver, before David’s death in July 2025. In accordance with his wishes, this recording, on vinyl like the original, is now presented as the first major work from the 50th Anniversary. Unlike many “live” albums, however, the songs are heard as they were performed.

Track listing:
1. Benedictus
2. Hey Little Man Thursday
3. Queen Of Dreams
4. Heavy Disguise
5. New World
6. Hey Little Man Wednesday
7. The Flower And The Young Man
8. Tomorrow
9. On Growing Older
10. Ah Me Ah My
11. Is It Today Lord
12. Journey’s End
13. Benedictus 2

Dedicated to the life and work of David Cousins.

Pete Roth Trio feat. Bill Bruford Release Titular Single “Group Chat” From Upcoming CD/DVD

Single releases today, Thursday July 3, 2026

Listen to “Group Chat”: https://cherryred.co/PRTGroupChat

Group Chat is the third single and title track from the upcoming Pete Roth Trio album of the same name, released September 18, 2026. Led by guitarist Pete Roth, alongside bassist Mike Pratt and incomparable drummer Bill Bruford, Group Chat is a release of particular significance, marking Bruford's eagerly awaited return to headline performance after a 13-year hiatus, as well as his first appearance on new material in 19 years.

Produced by Pete Roth and Bill Bruford for Winterfold Records, Group Chat presents a trio that thrives on intimacy, risk and connection. Rooted in jazz but never constrained by it, the single moves fluidly through funk and spontaneous improvisation, with nothing treated as untouchable. As the title implies, it is a vivid document of three distinctive musical voices in open conversation - intimate, exploratory, witty and deeply alive.

The music press reactions to both single and album have been emphatic. "The Pete Roth Trio is a band of equals, clearly loving the opportunity to improvise and have musical conversations," wrote Biff Bam Pop!, while Innerviews praised the music as "rich with nuance, invention, and telepathic rapport." Dr. Jazz Talks described the album as "a feast of rhythm and melody," and Make Weird Music summed up its appeal succinctly: "I wish more jazz was this much fun." Another review captured the trio's balancing act perfectly, calling it "loose enough that it could fall apart and tight enough that it grooves."

Group Chat reflects a continuing commitment to the innovative, the unusual and the unlikely. Together, the three musicians create an experience that reshapes expectations of the guitar trio format, making space for melody, texture, groove and surprise in equal measure.

Pete Roth Trio feat. Bill Bruford Release New Single “Improvisation on the Largo from Dvořák's Symphony #9” From Upcoming CD/DVD “Group Chat”

Single out Friday August 14, 2026

Listen to “Improvisation on the Largo from Dvořák's Symphony #9”: https://cherryred.co/PeteRothLargo

The Pete Roth Trio have released their new single “Improvisation on the Largo from Dvořák's Symphony #9” on August 14, 2026! This is the second single from their upcoming live CD/DVD album Group Chat.

The Pete Roth Trio return with Group Chat, a striking new CD/DVD release that captures the spontaneity, interplay and fearless musical conversation at the heart of this exceptional band. Led by guitarist Pete Roth, alongside bassist Mike Pratt and legendary drummer Bill Bruford, Group Chat is Roth's third major album and a release of particular significance, marking Bruford's eagerly awaited return to headline performance after a 13-year hiatus, as well as his first appearance on new material in 19 years.

Produced by Pete Roth and Bill Bruford for Winterfold Records, Group Chat presents a trio that thrives on intimacy, risk and connection. Rooted in jazz but never constrained by it, the music moves fluidly through funk, contemporary classical influences and spontaneous improvisation, with nothing treated as untouchable. Original compositions such as Full Circle, Dancing With Grace and Original Sin sit alongside collaborative pieces including Part Of The Charm and Looking Forward To Looking Back, while the trio's inspired Improvisation on the Largo from Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 underlines the breadth of their musical imagination. The result is a record that feels adventurous, immediate and alive - music made in the moment by three musicians listening as deeply as they play.

The release is presented as a two-disc digipak CD/DVD edition, complete with a booklet containing extensive notes and group photographs. Alongside the nine-track audio album, the package includes a bonus 35-minute DVD offering further insight into the trio's world, with performances, an introduction, and a special spoken segment from Pete Roth.

The music press reaction’s have been emphatic. "The Pete Roth Trio is a band of equals, clearly loving the opportunity to improvise and have musical conversations," wrote Biff Bam Pop!, while Innerviews praised the music as "rich with nuance, invention, and telepathic rapport." Dr. Jazz Talks described the album as "a feast of rhythm and melody," and Make Weird Music summed up its appeal succinctly: "I wish more jazz was this much fun." Another review captured the trio's balancing act perfectly, calling it "loose enough that it could fall apart and tight enough that it grooves."

Pete Roth brings to Group Chat a background that spans blues, rock and jazz, shaped first in Germany and then refined through his studies and career in the UK. Mike Pratt, a highly regarded bassist, composer and producer with deep roots in jazz fusion and groove-based music, brings both harmonic imagination and rhythmic authority to the trio. For Bruford, whose career has encompassed groundbreaking work with Yes, King Crimson, Earthworks and a host of major jazz collaborators, Group Chat reflects a continuing commitment to the innovative, the unusual and the unlikely. Together, the three musicians create an experience that reshapes expectations of the guitar trio format, making space for melody, texture, groove and surprise in equal measure.

Tu-Ner Featuring King Crimson Members To Release Live Album “Rendezvous Rodeo” and Announce US Tour Dates

Tu-Ner — This trio of multi-Grammy nominated, multi-gold and platinum recording artists bring you their third and latest release, Rendezvous Rodeo, out July 24 on 7d Media with summer tour dates.

Tu-Ner is a made up of three veterans of the electronic-rock avant-garde: Markus Reuter, a German-born touch style guitarist and composer with a prolific solo career and known for his work with Stick Men; Pat Mastelotto, the hybrid acoustic-electric drummer who has been a cornerstone of King Crimson since 1994; and Trey Gunn, the Warr Guitar innovator who spent a decade as a key member of King Crimson and has since built a bold path as a solo artist and co-owner of 7d Media Records.

Rendezvous Rodeo was recorded live at The Stone Church in Brattleboro, Vermont on August 15, 2025. Longtime Crimson faithful will find deep rewards here, as several tracks reimagine classic King Crimson pieces through Tu-Ner's distinctive lens. Other tracks include compositions from each of their individual careers and a new take on one piece that Gunn and Mastelotto performed live at the Royal Albert Hall with David Sylvian and Robert Fripp.

Track list:
1. Hogtied and Slightly Slack (Gunn, Reuter, Mastelotto) 4:20
2. The ConstruKCtion of Light (Fripp, Belew, Gunn, Mastelotto) 5:50
3. Firepower Coda (Fripp, Gunn, Sylvian) 4:35
4. Cusp (Reuter, Levin, Mastelotto) 4:53
5. The Mechanical Bride Wore Static (Gunn, Reuter, Mastelotto) 4:54
6. Kuma (Gunn, Muller) 5:21
7. Absinthe and A Cracker (Gunn, Mastelotto) 8:27
8. Paper Halo Rodeo (Gunn, Reuter, Mastelotto) 7:26
9. Unconditional (Reuter) 12:10
10. Larks’ Tongues in Aspic, Part 4 (Fripp, Belew, Gunn, Mastelotto) 12:09
11. Level 5 (Fripp, Belew, Gunn, Mastelotto) 7:19

Pat Mastelotto – Very rarely does a drummer go on to forge a successful career after the demise of their former hit band. Phil Collins and Dave Grohl have managed it, and so too has Pat Mastelotto – post his work with Mr. Mister. Growing up in Northern California before relocating to Los Angeles as a top-call player, Mastelotto has always pushed the envelope of electro-acoustic drumming. He has spent a lifetime jumping genres from pop to prog to electronica to world music with Mr. Mister, XTC, David Sylvian, The Rembrandts, Kimmo Pohjonen and for the last 25 years with King Crimson and Stick Men.

Markus Reuter – Composer, guitarist, and producer. He began his musical journey as a composer before delving into Robert Fripp’s Guitar Craft, exploring the Chapman Stick, and eventually transitioning to is own designed U8 Touch Guitar. Reuter has released numerous solo albums and has collaborated extensively with Anchor and Burden, Europa String Choir, Gary Husband, Robert Rich, J. Peter Schwalm, Ian Boddy, Mark Wingfield, and was featured in Devin Townsend’s touring band. He also performs in power trios including Stick Men with Pat Mastelotto and Tony Levin, TRUCE with Asaf Sirkis and Fabio Trentini, and Markus Reuter/Tim Motzer/Kenny Grohowski.

Trey Gunn – The extraordinary musician and Warr guitarist has left an indelible mark on the world of progressive music. Renowned for his unusual tapped playing style, he has graced the stages and recording studios with legendary acts such as King Crimson, Brian Eno, David Sylvian, Robert Fripp, Happy Rhodes, Puscifer, John Paul Jones and Living Color’s Vernon Reid. As the founder of the esteemed 7D Media record label and creative coach at Original Voice Coaching, Gunn continues to be a guiding force in curating exceptional musical experiences.

Reviews of their previous releases ‘Contact Information’ and ‘Tu-ner For Lovers’:

“The trio scrape, scratch and scrawl from the get-go, with Mastelotto laying down off-kilter tribal beats, Gunn rattling listeners’ innards with sludgy bass lines and Reuter slapping down arresting leads and color clusters on touch guitar.” – ProgArchy

“A laughter-smeared orchestral fantasy” – DMME

“Heavy monster grooves, extensive flights into space, abrasive sonic textures like the screams of angry robots—their adventurous chemistry keeps taking them into fresh territory…" – Geno Thackara, All About Jazz

“Nightmarish instrumental music of the highest order” – Bill Kopp

“On ‘Tu-Ner For Lovers’, our journey into madness begins with ‘The Last Barbie Tango’ and is only outmatched by the zaniness found within.” –  Sea Of Tranquility

“Tu-Ner delve into these deep, dark, and crazy territories with unbelievable results.”

–  Ech((0))es and Dust

“This is raw, adventurous, exciting and innovative music that will delight and frighten in equal measure anyone who listens.” – The Progressive Aspect

“Gunn and Reuter’s guitars weave twangy motifs and razor-sharp riffs around Mastelotto’s electronica-grazed grooves” – DMME

Tour dates:
July 28 – Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center – Old Saybrook, CT
July 29 – The Colony – Woodstock, NY
July 30 – The Iron Horse – Northampton, MA
July 31 – ShapeShifter Lab – Brooklyn, NY

Martin Carthy ALONG THE ROAD FOREVER: LIVE AT THE BBC Landmark 20CD Box Set Celebrating Nearly Six Decades of BBC Performances

A major new archival release celebrates the extraordinary career of Martin Carthy with Along The Road Forever: Live At The BBC. To be released via Madfish on 17th July 2026.

An expansive 20CD collection documenting live and session performances recorded for the BBC across an astonishing 57-year period from 1965 - 2022.

Widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in English folk music, Martin Carthy MBE’s body of work has shaped generations of musicians through his distinctive guitar style, powerful interpretations of traditional song, and groundbreaking collaborations. Spanning solo recordings, duets with Dave Swarbrick, work alongside daughter Eliza Carthy and performances with seminal groups including Steeleye Span,  The Albion Country Band, Brass Monkeys, The Watersons and Waterson / Carthy, theset presents an unparalleled alternative history of one of Britain’s defining musical voices.

Across 22½ hours of music and 328 tracks - including 237 unique repertoire performances, with two-thirds sourced from master recordings - Along The Road Forever captures Martin’s enduring relationship with the BBC through appearances on Radios 1,2,3 and 4, BBC Television, and even rare surviving performances from 1960s regional broadcaster ABC TV.

The collection also includes an 80-page hardback book featuring a major new essay by acclaimed biographer Clinton Heylin examining Martin Carthy’s complete life in music, alongside unseen photographs - many drawn from Martin’s personal archive- detailed session notes by noted Carthy chronicler Kevin Boyd, and an exclusive photograph personally signed by Martin Carthy.

Reflecting on Martin Carthy’s profound influence on contemporary songwriting and folk revival culture, Bob Dylan addressed Carthy thus:

“If you didn’t know, your songs and your melodies have been with me since we first met. We’ll meet each other down the line somewhere”

- Bob Dylan, 2025

Along The Road Forever: Live At The BBC stands as a definitive portrait of a singular artist whose influence continues to resonate across generations of folk, acoustic and contemporary music.

20 CD BOX SET Includes:
• 328 live and session recordings spanning 1965-2022
• 80-page hardback book with new essay by Clinton Heylin
• Rare and previously unseen photographs
• Detailed session annotations by Kevin Boyd
• Exclusive signed Martin Carthy photograph

King Crimson ‘2014 NYC’ 2LP & 2CD To Be Released July 10, 2026

• New King Crimson LIVE compilation series from the band’s 2014 to 2021 line-up, starting with ‘2014 NYC’
• Taken from live multi-track recordings from the band’s electric four-night run in September 2014 (18th – 21st Sept)
• Double LP - cut by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering and pressed on 200-gram audiophile vinyl
• New sleevenotes from King Crimson biographer Sid Smith

Featuring:
Robert Fripp: Guitar, Keyboards
Jakko Jakszyk: Guitar, Vocals
Mel Collins: Sax, Flute
Tony Levin: Bass, Chapman Stick, Backing Vocals
Drummers: Gavin Harrison, Bill Rieflin, and Pat Mastelotto

For King Crimson, New York was never just a tour-stop – it was a recurring stage in the band’s mythology. Starting with the 1969 Fillmore East breakthrough and running through those early-’70s returns, climaxing in the Larks’-era farewell to that chapter at Central Park in 1974.

And when Crimson kept mutating, the city kept calling them back. Robert Fripp later pointed to the six nights at the Savoy in 1981 (after rehearsals tucked away in the garment district) as a high-water mark, and later line-ups - the Double Trio, Double Duo, and a 2008 quintet with newly recruited Gavin Harrison at the Nokia Theatre  continued the Manhattan connection, right up to a major reset at the same venue (by then the Best Buy Theatre) in 2014.

That 2014 band looked like nothing else on the circuit: three drummers lined up across the front - an idea Fripp described as a sudden “point of seeing - turning rhythm into a moving, interlocked engine”.

Crucially, they didn’t treat the back catalogue like museum pieces; they played it as living material, rebuilt with microscopic attention rather than copied note-for-note. The “drumsons” delivered a choreographed surge and uncanny unity (Harrison joked it felt like “one drummer with six legs and six arms”), and a calmer group chemistry let the seven-piece hit with brute force and fine detail at once - refreshing older classics and giving newer pieces extra muscle.

In New York, moments like “Starless,” framed with a deliberate red-light nod to 1974, landed as proof that Crimson could honour its past without slipping into nostalgia: a band that kept reinventing its own language, still pushing forward with no obvious limit.

From 2014 to 2021 King Crimson played music that was, in keeping with Robert Fripp's approach, "new whenever it is performed", freshly minted each night for a new audience to hear. The band would frequently stay in one city for more than one night so that demand for tickets could be met while still appearing in venues where all of the audience could both see and hear fully.

‘2014 NYC’ is the start of a new series (to be released on 2LP and 2CD), compiled from those runs of concerts at a single venue/city and commences from the first year of touring with a set taken from the band's four-night run in NYC in September 2014.

Later this year (Autumn 2026), there will be a 2 x Blu-ray release of King Crimson’s entire 19-date U.S. tour from 2014 which will also include this compilation.

Eight Classic Music Films to Be Re-Released in 2026 in High Definition

Studio City, CA – Lightyear Entertainment announces that it has embarked on a major project to remaster and future-proof its classic music films.  Shot and edited on videotape in the 80’s, there was no way to go back to 35mm film materials.  But using modern technology, the company has successfully remastered eight of them in High Definition for the first time.

Lightyear CEO Arnie Holland said: “These films are some of the best music films ever, starring some of the biggest artists ever.  Some are concerts, some are documentaries, and one is a unique feature film. All were in Standard Definition.  It was sad for me to watch them become so fuzzy and outdated, when these beloved artists’ music is still vibrant and relevant.  Technology had pushed these classic films aside, but now technology has made them great again.  Yes, we used AI programs to accomplish this. While I am as worried about the future of AI as most other people, right now it’s a great tool.  And ignoring the possibilities of what it can do doesn’t make sense.  We owed it to these major artists to use every tool we could find in order to preserve and future-proof these films.”

All of the eight films were produced in the 80’s before Lightyear’s 1987 management buyout of RCA Video Productions, Inc.

The first film to be newly released was Elvis ’56 Remastered, on February 20.  For that one a BluRay was released for the first time along with a release to Digital platforms in TVOD, SVOD, AVOD and YVOD.

On June 5, the following films will be released to Digital platforms in TVOD, SVOD, AVOD and YVOD:

Eurythmics: Sweet Dreams (the Video Album) Remastered
Jefferson Starship: The Definitive Concert Remastered
Stevie Nicks: Live at Red Rocks Remastered

On August 21, the following films will be released to Digital platforms in TVOD, SVOD, AVOD and YVOD:

A Night with Lou Reed Remastered
Rick Springfield: The Beat of the Live Drum Remastered
Waylon Jennings: America Remastered
Return to Waterloo (a film by Ray Davies of the Kinks) Remastered

Waylon Jennings America was released on DVD in 1986.  It has never been offered to Digital platforms before.  The film includes scenes with Robert Duvall, Hank Williams, Jr. and Johnny Cash.

Return to Waterloo is a 60-minute feature film (released theatrically by New Line Cinema), and, instead of dialog by the actors, the story is told almost exclusively by the lyrics of original songs penned by storyteller extraordinaire Ray Davies.

Elvis ’56 was originally seen on Cinemax after debuting at Sundance; Stevie Nicks Live at Red Rocks on HBO, Rick Springfield’s The Beat of the Live Drum (directed by David Fincher) on HBO, Eurythmics Sweet Dreams on MTV, A Night With Lou Reed on MTV.

All of the film remastering was produced in-house by David Lawrence, Lightyear’s Director of Film Acquisition. Sound mastering adjustments were done by Sky Spooner, Lightyear’s Executive Vice President.

FIRST TIME VINYL RELEASE OF LAURA NYRO’S STUNNING "LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO, 28TH APRIL 1994"

LIMITED EDITION CLEAR VINYL 2LP SET FOR RELEASE ON 27^TH MARCH

A rare and intimate live document from one of America’s most singular songwriting voices, Live In San Francisco, 28th April 1994 captures Laura Nyro in spellbinding form during a late-career performance at the New Orleans Room, Fairmont Hotel. Recorded just three years before her passing, this show finds Nyro revisiting her extraordinary catalogue with warmth and conviction, exuding her indelible soulful nature.

Pressed for the first time ever on vinyl, this limited edition clear 2LP presents a beautifully curated set spanning early classics, fan favourites, and deeply personal later works. Stripped back and heartfelt, Nyro’s piano-led performances are enhanced by subtle backing vocals, the power of her songwriting and voice shining through.

“She wrote songs that had no kind of fixed compass point. They remain as unique and absolutely spellbinding to this day as when I first heard them in the ‘60s.”

Elton John, 2024

PRE-ORDER LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO, 28^TH APRIL 1994 LIMITED EDITION CLEAR VINYL: https://lauranyro.lnk.to/Live_In_SF_94_2LP

Highlights include moving renditions of “Dedicated To The One I Love,” “Save The Country,” “And When I Die,” “Emmie,” and “It’s Gonna Take A Miracle,” alongside lesser-heard gems.

During the singer/songwriter movement in the late '60s and early '70s, Laura Nyro was one of the most celebrated tunesmiths of her day. Nyro was just 18 years old when she signed her first recording contract and wrote the songs for which she is likely to be best remembered. By the time she was 22, she had become one of the most successful composers in American popular music. She wrote wonderfully expressive and poetic songs that took the folky introspection of her peers and infused it with elements of soul, R&B, jazz, and gospel, giving them an emotional heat that set her apart.

This 2LP edition of Live In San Francisco, 28th April 1994 is available on vinyl for the first time and is pressed on limited edition clear vinyl.

Aisles Releases Live Video At Abbey Road Studio 3 Through Instagram Live With Jo Kendall This Wednesday

Jo Kendall (Prog / Classic Rock) interviews Aisles on Instagram live ahead of the YouTube premiere of Blue Skies (live at Abbey Road) this Wednesday at 6pm UK

A powerful live performance filmed inside Studio 3 at Abbey Road Studios — a milestone moment ahead of the band’s next studio album.

Filmed during the band’s recent UK tour — which included a highly successful appearance at HRH Prog — the session documents a defining moment in Aisles’ international trajectory. On 17 November 2025, four songs were recorded fully live at Abbey Road, to be released individually throughout the year on YouTube, culminating in a full live EP available on CD and digital platforms later this year.

Jo Kendall, music journalist from Prog Magazine and Classic Rock, was there to witness the session, and she will join Aisles again on Instagram Live this Wednesday 4th of March at 6 pm UK, to discuss the video and performance.

The performance features the band’s current lineup consisting of Boris Seeder (lead vocals), Germán Vergara (guitars, vocals), Juan Pablo Gaete (keyboards), Daniel Alejandro Concha Baird-Kerr (bass) and Alvaro Poblete (drums). The band were accompanied by their long-time sound engineer and recording engineer, Fernando Cubillos, who engineered, mixed and mastered the session, ensuring the performance retained both its raw energy and sonic depth.

The first release, Blue Skies, is particularly significant. Originally the first single from the band’s upcoming studio album, the song now re-emerges in a raw and emotionally charged live setting. The performance not only showcases the band’s precision, chemistry and sonic power, but also captures them performing inside the very room where artists such as The Beatles and Pink Floyd shaped modern music history and both very influential to Aisles’ emotional and at the same time expansive sound.

Studio 3 provides an intimate yet historic backdrop. The video offers more than a live rendition; it delivers a visual and sonic statement about where Aisles stand today: confident, cohesive, and operating at a new level of intensity ahead of the unveiling of their upcoming long-awaited sixth studio album.

Recorded entirely live, without overdubs, Blue Skies (Live at Abbey Road) highlights the band’s tight musicianship and dynamic interplay. The session stands as both a symbolic and artistic milestone — reflecting Aisles’ expanding international presence and serving as a powerful preview of what lies ahead with their next studio album.

With this release, Aisles invite listeners to witness the band at a pivotal moment: refined, ambitious, and fully alive inside one of the world’s most iconic recording spaces.

ON MARCH 4TH 6 PM UK TIME THE BAND WILL BE INTERVIEWED ON INSTAGRAM LIVE BY MUSIC JOURNALIST AND CRITIC JO KENDALL AHEAD OF THE OFFICIAL VIDEO PREMIERE AT 6:20 UK ON THEIR OFFICIAL YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

AISLES ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3m_ezhicmtfbhcejWDSy5A

THERE WILL BE Q&A WITH THE BAND DURING THE BROADCAST.

THE SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND – GOOD EVENING BOYS & GIRLS

THE SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND – GOOD EVENING BOYS & GIRLS

A COMPREHENSIVE 21 CD BOXSET OF CONCERT PERFORMANCES FROM THE SCOTTISH LEGENDS, INCLUDES 144-PAGE HARDBACK BOOK, RARE MEMORABILIA, SIGNED BAND PHOTO, REPLICA PROGRAMME + MORE

Released on 10 April

PRE-ORDER NOW FROM HERE

There was never another band like The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. They didn’t just play shows - they made every venue feel like their territory, told stories, cracked jokes, and then tore the roof off the place. Scotland has produced its share of musical legends, but SAHB remain something rarer still: a band whose myth came from the stage, night after night, sweat and swagger and steel-toe precision.

Good Evening Boys & Girls is the most comprehensive attempt yet to bottle that lightning. Gathering 16 previously unreleased live performances, this 21-CD set traces the group from the Marquee in ’73 through the band’s final run with the original lineup. It’s a tour through ballrooms, city halls, theatres and festivals - London, Newcastle, Glasgow, New York, Berlin, Reading - and the famous Glasgow Apollo Christmas Show of 1975, long spoken of in fan circles, now finally unearthed.

To be released on April 10 and is available to pre-order now from here.

Much of what’s here comes straight from the source: soundboard and radio recordings, remastered with care by Pete Reynolds (Mott The Hoople, Fleetwood Mac, Wishbone Ash) to preserve their bite and atmosphere. You hear the band as the crew and punters heard them - gritty, elastic, unpredictable, and completely themselves. This is SAHB without varnish, and that’s exactly how it should be.

The box also digs into the story behind the noise. A 144-page hardback book tells the tale with unseen and rare photographs from Ian Dickson, Barry Plummer, Janet Macoska, Steve Emberton, Dick Barnatt, Michael Putland, Kevin Cummins and more, accompanied by new notes from longtime Harvey historian Martin Kielty. Much of the memorabilia - posters, passes, scraps, treasures - comes from Ted McKenna’s private archive and the remarkable collection of Martin Davies, offering a glimpse into the working life of a band that lived as hard as it played.

A replica Glasgow Apollo programme and a signed photograph from Zal Cleminson and Chris Glen complete the set - fittingly, since the box was made with the full cooperation of Zal Cleminson, Chris Glen and sonic architect Dave Batchelor and the estates of Alex, Ted and Hugh McKenna.

For longtime fans, Good Evening Boys & Girls is a chance to step back inside the halls where SAHB became SAHB. For anyone new, it’s an invitation into a world where theatre met street-corner grit, where humour sat beside heartbreak, and where a band of players followed a singular frontman into the wild every single night.

TANGERINE DREAM – 50 YEARS OF PHAEDRA: AT THE BARBICAN – A COMMEMORATIVE PERFORMANCE AT LONDON’S BARBICAN TO HONOUR 50 YEARS OF THE GROUNDBREAKING ALBUM

3 STUNNING EDITIONS SET FOR RELEASE ON 30^TH JANUARY 2026

In 1974, Phaedra redefined the landscape of electronic music. What began as an experimental session at Richard Branson’s Manor Studios in Oxfordshire became a seismic event in modern sound. Using the Moog sequencer for the first time, Tangerine Dream - then comprised of Edgar Froese, Christopher Franke, and Peter Baumann - crafted Phaedra, an album that shimmered with innovation, mystery and a palpable sense of discovery.

Half a century later, Tangerine Dream returned to London’s Barbican to honour that landmark work - reimagining it for a new era. Across its three vinyl LPs, 50 Years of Phaedra: At the Barbican captures this transcendent live performance, in which the current line-up - Thorsten Quaeschning, Hoshiko Yamane, and Paul Frick - revisit the spirit of Phaedra with the very tools that Froese and his collaborators helped pioneer.

Part of Phaedra’s magic lay in its imperfections: the original sequences were never truly quantised, their timing drifting unpredictably through the Moog’s analogue circuitry. That subtle instability became part of its charm – a human pulse within the machine - yet it long left current bandleader Thorsten Quaeschning intrigued by what a fully realised version might reveal. Now, fifty years later, Tangerine Dream have revisited the work with the precision that technology once denied them. 50 Years of Phaedra: At the Barbican is the first time Phaedra has been performed fully quantised, each motif beautifully aligned with a crystalline precision previously unheard.

Tangerine Dream live at The Barbican, London

For over five decades, Tangerine Dream have stood as pioneers of electronic sound, shaping the evolution of ambient, film, and synthesiser music. Founded in Berlin in 1967 by Edgar Froese, the group became synonymous with the “Berlin School” of electronic composition, influencing generations of artists from Jean-Michel Jarre and Depeche Mode to Radiohead and M83. Their vast catalogue spans over a hundred albums, including acclaimed film scores for Sorcerer, Risky Business, and Firestarter, and countless live performances that redefined what electronic music could be on stage. Universally recognised for their visionary approach to texture, atmosphere and technology, Tangerine Dream remain one of the most innovative and iconic forces in modern music.

MADFISH PROUDLY PRESENTS CARAVAN – THE SHOWS OF OURS…LIVE (22nd August)

A 10LP ARCHIVAL BOXSET OF FIRST-TIME TO VINYL CARAVAN PERFORMANCES

INCLUDES 4 PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED CONCERT RECORDINGS PLUS 60-PAGE COLLECTOR’S BOOK WITH PHOTOGRAPHS, EPHEMERA, AND FIRST-HAND BAND REFLECTIONS

Madfish are proud to present the new 10LP boxset from progressive rock pioneers Caravan. Titled The Shows Of Ours…Live, the new set includes 10LP’s of iconic Caravan performances from the band’s live peak with 4 previously unreleased concerts – Keele University 1976, Bobino 1980, Diss 1998 and Wavendon 2001. Completing the set is a beautiful 60-page collector’s book with previously unseen photographs and contributions from the band.

WATCH THE TRAILER FOR THE SHOWS OF OURS…LIVE

A rare and fascinating window into Caravan’s onstage journey, The Shows of Ours…Live traces the band’s evolution across four decades of musical exploration, quiet majesty and cult superstardom.

PRE-ORDER CARAVAN THE SHOWS OF OURS…LIVE (22^nd August)

LP BREAKDOWN:
1 - Keele University 1976
2/3 - Bobino, Paris 1980
4/5 - Old Buckenham High School 1990
6/7/8 - Park Hotel, Diss 1998
9/10 - Stables Theatre, Wavendon 2001

Among the many gems is a standout performance from Keele University, now available for fans to enjoy for the very first time. Unearthed from the personal tapes of keyboardist Jan Schelhaas, Keele University 1976 captures the band in elegant transition - fluid, playful, and at ease in their own skin.

There’s also the long-rumoured 1980 concert at Bobino, Paris - finally rescued from the world of unofficial bootlegs and presented here in fully remastered form. With crisp fidelity and room to breathe, it reveals a line-up locked in and stretching out, riding the sweet spot between structure and spontaneity.

The journey continues into later years with a 1990 recording from Old Buckenham High School - a performance once tucked away on a boxset-only CD release, now restored and reintroduced on vinyl for the first time in all its charm.

Caravan by Barry Plumber

From swirling organ solos to playful lyrical turns, every track hums with the unmistakable spirit of a scene that was always more than just music - it was a movement. Whether you're a longtime devotee or a curious newcomer, this is your invitation to step into the velvet-draped, tea-scented haze of a bygone era.

Compiled with the full blessing and input of the band and mastered by Pete Reynolds of Reynolds Mastering, The Shows of Ours… Live is part time capsule, part revelation - a portrait of Caravan as a live band and a tribute to their subtle but lasting mark on progressive music history.

The Shows Of Ours…Live will be released on Madfish on 22^nd August.

Jack Bruce “Harmony Row” 2CD/2Blu-ray Box Set Available June 27, 2025

• DELUXE 2CD / 2 MULTI REGION BLU RAY DISC DELUXE BOX SET EDITION OF THE CLASSIC ALBUM BY JACK BRUCE.

• NEWLY REMASTERED & MIXED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES.

• FEATURING AN ADDITIONAL 34 BONUS TRACKS DRAWN FROM STEPHEN W TAYLER’S NEW 5.1 SURROUND SOUND & STEREO MIXES OF THE ALBUM & A VIDEO BLU RAY FEATURING THE JACK BRUCE BAND’S 1971 CONCERT FOR THE GRANADA TV SHOW OUT FRONT & THE 1972 GERMAN TV DOCUMENTARY FILM SWING IN.

• INCLUDES AN ILLUSTRATED BOOK WITH AN ESSAY BY SID SMITH.

The album was released in July 1971 and followed his successful and influential album ‘Songs for a Tailor’. Once again, Jack’s intention was to make a record distinctly diverse from the music he had recorded with Cream, and ‘Harmony Row’ expanded even further on the musical palate he explored on ‘Songs for a Tailor’ featuring compositions which drew stylistically on jazz, folk, classical, rock and Eastern musical influences.

Joining the recording sessions at London’s Command Studios were guitarist Chris Spedding and drummer John Marshall, with Jack singing and playing piano, organ, bass guitar and cello. ‘Harmony Row’ was highly acclaimed upon its release and is now rightly regarded as a masterpiece and one of Jack’s seminal works.

This box set edition of this special album features the original 1971 album mix (newly remastered from the original master tapes), along with wonderful new stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound mixes of the album by Stephen W Tayler (from the original 16-track master tapes) and previously unreleased session out-takes and demos. The set also includes a marvellous performance in 1971 by Jack and a band featuring Graham Bond (organ, vocals), Chris Spedding & John Marshall for the Granada TV show Out Front and a documentary on Jack made for the German TV series Swing In, first broadcast in 1972. It also features an illustrated book with a new essay by Sid Smith and is the definitive version of this classic album.
