Friday New Releases – June 28, 2024

Welcome back to Friday New Releases. We are already to the final week of June and although Summer is heating up, for me, the releases this week aren’t that hot. Nothing I have to have and actually, the Stryper ‘To Hell With the Amp’ is a reissue of what they released earlier this year exclusively on their site and it sold it fast (yes, I have a copy). And speaking of Michael Sweet, he also has Sunbomb which I’m not thrilled with, but will get eventually as I do with Michael’s stuff. A lot people might be in to Imagine Dragons and Camila Cabello as they have a new ones, not for me though. I might give The Fabulous Thunderbirds a listen as I didn’t realize they were still together. Let me know what you want to hear this week or what we may have missed. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.

Friday New Releases – April 15, 2022

April 15th in the U.S. use to be Tax Day. The day our taxes needed to be filed and paid (unless you file an extension). This year it is actually been pushed to Monday, April 18th like that will make any difference to the procrastinators. Mine are done!! But, being that Friday New Releases this year is on April 15, maybe they decided not to have many so these people that have to pay more in taxes don’t have to worry about missing out on too much. Or it could be the Super Deluxe Edition of Rush’s Moving Pictures is so expensive no one can afford anything else. Either way, we only have around 35 this week which is way down from previous weeks. I only have one and it is up first and highlighted in Blue. But I am sure there is something for you in there so take a look and let me know what you want to hear this week or what we missed. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great weekend!!

  • 71vsyGEt+AL._SX522_  Rush – Moving Pictures (40th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition) – (Mercury Records / UMG): Probably my favorite Rush album and my entry point in to the band, ‘Moving Pictures’ is getting the Super Deluxe Edition for its 40th Anniversary…WOW!! 40 Years. I am getting old. This box set includes a 3 CD set featuring the 2015 album remaster and the complete, unreleased Toronto concert from March 25, 1981. All audio is also showcased on 5 LPs cut at half-speed DMM on 180-gram vinyl. Blu-ray Audio disc presents a first-ever Dolby Atmos and new 5.1 surround album mix including the brand-new video for “YYZ” + 3 music videos. Extras include a book, model car, drumsticks, posters, and more! At only $299, it is a little steep. You could just get the deluxe edition CDs or vinyl for way, way less.

And then all the rest…
