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 It was sad for me to watch them become so fuzzy and outdated, when these beloved artists’ music is still vibrant and relevant.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.

Music Legends Strawbs To Release 'Magic From the Moon' On Blu-ray June 9, 2025

British music legends Strawbs will be releasing “Magic From the Moon” on Blu-ray on June 9, 2025. A spectacular acoustic and symphonic concert from the Strawbs 40th Anniversary Show, this release showcases the acoustic talents of the Strawbs. The set list covers many milestones over their long career with the Strawbs performing songs from their 1969 self-titled debut album to the Dancing to the Devil's Beat album from 2009.

Special guest Sonja Kristina joins the Strawbs for four of the songs, singing Sandy Denny’s parts. This unique concert also features the closing extravaganza with the legendary Robert Kirby, along with members of the Royal Artillery Orchestra.

EXPERIENCE THE ENDURING LEGACY OF HORSLIPS WITH MADFISH’S NEW 5 DISC SET 'HORSLIPS – AT THE BBC'

4CD + DVD SET COMPRISING LIVE PERFORMANCES, BBC TV FOOTAGE AND RARE ARCHIVAL MATERIAL

Few bands have left as distinct a mark on the musical landscape as Horslips. Emerging in the early 1970s, they more or less created ‘Celtic Rock’, drawing from Irish traditional music and British/American rock, crafting a sound that was both timeless and radical.

The BBC captured the band in the 1970s and again during their unexpected Indian summer return in the 2010s. At The BBC gathers these vital recordings – spanning nearly 50 years – into one definitive collection.

WATCH THE HORSLIPS AT THE BBC TRAILER

PRE-ORDER HORSLIPS - AT THE BBC (30th May 2025)

Disc 1 (1973–74) – Live BBC performances from Radio 1 In Concert, Old Grey Whistle Test, and John Peel Show, capturing Horslips' early energy and innovation.

Disc 2 (1979–2019) – A 1979 Radio 1 In Concert set, a 2010 unplugged session, and their final 2019 recording, Sideways to the Sun.

Disc 3 (2011) – The BBC Radio Ulster mix of their orchestral concert with the Ulster Orchestra, featuring The Táin, The Book of Invasions, and I’ll Be Waiting.

Disc 4 (1979 Bonus Disc) – Unreleased Short Stories, Tall Tales studio mixes from Windmill Lane.

Disc 5 (DVD) – Old Grey Whistle Test clips, 1974 documentary footage & 2011 fan-shot concert videos.

Disc 1 begins the journey in 1973–74, landmark years in which Horslips took their fusion of mythology and musicianship to the airwaves and concert halls of Britain. Included are performances from Radio 1’s In Concert, The Old Grey Whistle Test, Radio 1’s Sounds of the 70s, 2nd House (BBC 2) and Radio 1’s John Peel Show, showcasing the group in full flight, brimming with invention and zeal.

By 1979, fresh from the inevitable hard slog of trying to conquer America, Horslips returned to Radio 1’s In Concert with a set that captured their ability to fit in with the times and the power of their live performances. Disc 2 continues with an unplugged ‘comeback’ session from 2010 and a BBC NI performance in 2019 of ‘Sideways to the Sun’ – written about magical Irish beings disappearing from mortal sight – which would, perhaps fittingly, prove to be their last official recording.

Disc 3 presents Horslips’ unique 2011 performance with the Ulster Orchestra at Belfast’s Waterfront Hall, in its previously unreleased BBC Radio Ulster broadcast mix. Including epic suites from classic albums The Táin and The Book of Invasions and fan favourites like the eight-minute ‘I’ll Be Waiting’, a showcase for late guitarist Johnny Fean (d. 2023), many – including band members – view this concert as Horslips’ finest hour (and a quarter).

Disc 4 is a bonus disc, comprising recently discovered 1979 ‘working mixes’ of the album Short Stories, Tall Tales, recorded at Dublin’s Windmill Lane. They offer an intimate glimpse into a band in transition, shifting from the US FM rock that had influenced recent albums towards the spikier, sharper British New Wave sound.

At The BBC is completed by a DVD bringing together clips from The Old Grey Whistle Test, 1974 documentary material and magical fan footage of two songs from the 2011 Waterfront Hall concert, synced to sparkling BBC audio.

Presented in a deluxe hardback book package with rare photographs and extensive liner notes by band biographer Mark Cunningham, legendary BBC producer Jeff Griffin and curator Colin Harper, At The BBC is a celebration of a band whose influence still echoes through the decades. The mastering is shared by Eroc in Germany and band associate Cormac O’Kane who mastered the acclaimed 2023 Horslips box set More Than You Can Chew.

Horslips – At The BBC will be released on Madfish on 30^th May 2025. Pre-order here.

Vanilla Fudge “Where Is My Mind - The Atco Recordings 1967-1969” 9CD Box Set Now Available

Released October 11, 2024

9CD BOXED SET FEATURING OF THE COMPLETE ATCO RECORDINGS BY VANILLA FUDGE MADE BETWEEN 1967 AND 1969. NEWLY REMASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES.

INCLUDES THE ALBUMS ‘VANILLA FUDGE’ (mono & stereo versions), 'THE BEAT GOES ON’ (mono & stereo versions), ‘RENAISSANCE’, ‘NEAR THE BEGINNING’ AND ‘ROCK & ROLL’, ALONG WITH A 2CD LIVE RECORDING AT THE FILLMORE WEST IN 1969, SESSION OUT-TAKES AND RARE SINGLES.

WITH AN ILLUSTRATED BOOKLET WITH A NEW ESSAY FEATURING EXCLUSIVE BAND INTERVIEWS.

Featuring Mark Stein (vocals, organ), Vincent Martell (guitar, vocals), Tim Bogert (bass, vocals) and Carmine Appice (drums, vocals), the band were originally known as The Pigeons and gained notoriety thanks to their radical, slowed down and heavy interpretations of current hits. They signed to Atco Records, a division of Atlantic in April 1967 and changed their name at the insistence of Atlantic founder Ahmet Ertegun to Vanilla Fudge. Their radical cover version of The Supremes’ hit “You Keep Me Hanging On” was issued as a single in June 1967. Dominated by the hard-hitting approach of their rhythm section and the powerful Hammond organ playing of Mark Stein it became a US top 10 hit.

The band’s self-titled debut album was released in August 1967 and was a psychedelic rock tour-de-force, featuring a seven-minute version of ‘You Keep Me Hanging On’, it also featured imaginative cover versions of compositions by The Beatles, The Zombies and Curtis Mayfield among others. Over the next two years, VANILLA FUDGE would record a series of albums that would evolve from psychedelic rock to heavy rock and influence many emerging bands, among them Deep Purple, before disbanding in 1970.

This nine CD boxed set has been remastered from the original Atco tapes and features the albums ‘VANILLA FUDGE’ and ‘THE BEAT GOES ON’ (in both mono and stereo versions) and ‘RENAISSANCE’, ‘NEAR THE BEGINNING’ and ‘ROCK & ROLL’. It also features a complete concert recorded at the Fillmore West on New Year’s Eve 1968 / 1969 over two CDS and a host of session out-takes and singles.

The set also features an illustrated booklet with a new essay featuring exclusive interviews with Mark Stein and Carmine Appice.
