As the record industry continues its extended holiday for new releases, attention turns to greatest hits collections and re-releases of classic albums. Here are a few notable releases for this week.
Daryl Hall & John Oates, Rock ‘N Soul Part 1 (RCA/Legacy)
You can love ‘em or you can hate ‘em, but Hall and Oates have produced some of the most memorable – and commercially successful – records of the past 35 years.
Bill Haley, The Real Birth of Rock ‘N Roll 1946-54 (Bear Family)
Five cds and an accompanying book make a compeling case that Bill Haley is the founder of rock and roll.
Living Colour, Everything Is Possible: The Very Best of Living Colour (Epic/Legacy)
After bursting onto the scene in 1988 with the ferocious “Cult of Personality”, Living Colour released a string of hard rock with a twinge of rhythm and blues.
