...Wendy Records is readying their next LED ZEPPELIN title for early December.  "Moral Reader" 2CD capitalizes on the really clean, low generation tape of the October 4th, 1972 concert in Osaka, Japan that was shared over the internet this Fall and is actually said to be combining sources which doesn't seem necessary but either way, a fantastic recording and super solid performance by the band...The Godfather Records is staying regular and has yet another new batch of titles coming to market December 2nd...NEIL YOUNG "The Neverending Dream" 2CD gives us his Opening Night show in Boise, Idaho at The Velma Morrison Center on October 18th in excellent audience quality and presented in the patented GFR trifold cardboard sleeve...PRINCE "London Planet Earth" 2CD capitalizes on another excellent audience tape, this show was performed September 13th at the 02 Arena in London with bonus tracks recorded at his September 9th aftershow performance at Indigo2 in London...also in this next round is MARK KNOPFLER & EMMYLOU HARRIS "Making History" 1CD which leverages a stereo soundboard tape from their June 3rd, 2006 concert in Verona, Italy and gets the GFR deluxe sleeve presentation as well...and as I mentioned above, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND "It's Boss Time!" 2CD covers the excellent audience recording from The Palace At Auburn Hills, Michigan on November 5th with bonus tracks from that November 4th show in Cleveland and October 14th show in Ottawa with ARCADE FIRE...On a related note, there are two new DVD's from Apocalypse Sound also slated for December 2nd release, MICHAEL JACKSON "This is History" which compiles a nice collection of TV Broadcast appearances from 1984-1996 and TOTO "All Us Boys - The Early Live Years" pairs up a couple of proshot performances/TV Broadcasts from The Agora Ballroom in Cleveland on February 2nd, 1979 and during the Hydra Tour at Shinjinku, Tokyo, Japan at Koseinenkin Kaikan on March 12, 1980...

And, we can't forget the latest in BEATLES & THE STONES release news for the week...Masters Of Beatles Essentials (MBE) will issue a pair of sets shortly, "At Abbey Road Show Vol. 1" is a DVD of the 1983 BBC Abbey Road Show production plus a 2CD set of "working monitor mixes" from Abbey Road Studios while "At Abbey Road Show Vol. 2" is a 3CD set of "monitor mix playbacks" compilation...The SODD Label continues their string of ROLLING STONES re-issues with a couple of interesting choices - I can never figure out what the rationale is for decisions made on this stuff - look for "Live At Empire Pool, Wembley, London '73. 9.8 First Show" 1CD with limited bonus disc of the September 9th, 1973 show with the first 200 copies...the same schema and format goes for "Live At Coliseum, Charlotte, North Carolina '72.7.6" with bonus disc of the Long Beach Arena concert in good audience quality from June 10, 1972...On a final note I received encouraging information from the Aurora Borealis Label earlier today confirming that production has resumed on the balance of the much anticipated CSNY Box Set but no firm release date is playing into the info just yet, at the very least it'll be 1st Quarter 2008 from the indicators I'm getting thus far but, stay tuned on that one...

Thanks for stopping in to catch up and have yourself a wonderful week!
