RHINO HANDMADE KICKS OF BUSY 2010
WITH SIX-DISC WILSON PICKETT BOXED SET

Funky Midnight Mover – The Atlantic Studio Recordings (1962-1978)
Is Available Now For Pre-Order Exclusively At RhinoHandmade.com

Rhino Handmade Running Poll Now To Put One Sold-Out Handmade Title
Back In Print Later This Year For Limited Run

LOS ANGELES – Rhino Handmade kicks off plans for a steady stream of new titles in 2010 beginning with the six-CD Wilson Pickett collection, FUNKY MIDNIGHT MOVER – THE ATLANTIC STUDIO RECORDINGS (1962-1978). This collection – the first comprehensive compilation of Pickett’s Atlantic material – includes all his originally issued recordings for the label, as well as early pre-Atlantic sides, his 1978 album for the Atlantic-distributed Big Tree imprint, and a full CD of rare or previously unreleased recordings. The set is presented in an elaborate 92-page, linen-wrapped book with many rare and unseen photos. This Rhino Handmade exclusive release is available for pre-order now at www.rhinohandmade.com for a $99.98 and will ship in late January.

The comprehensive set’s 154 tracks encompass all 35 of the singer’s R&B smashes – including five #1 hits – from “In The Midnight Hour,” his first hit for Atlantic Records, to 1973’s “International Playboy,” his last chart entry for the label. The earliest unreleased track on this set, an undubbed alternate of “Hello Sunshine,” dates from the 1967 American sessions for the album I’m In Love and prominently features Bobby Womack’s lead guitar. The collection concludes with “Superstar,” a full-blown disco track from 1978 unearthed in the vaults during research for this set. The set also features comprehensive liner notes, including intros by Jerry Wexler and Steve Cropper, an essay by Chris Morris, and an extensive track-by-track by Bill Dahl.

Rhino Handmade has received thousands of requests through the years to bring back out-of-print titles from the catalog and we are giving the fans what they have asked for in 2010. A month-long poll is being conducted now at www.rhinohandmade.com where fans can vote to bring back one of 9 sold-out Handmade titles. The out-of-print release that receives the most votes will be reissued later this year as a limited edition.

The candidates are:
Beau Brummels – Magic Hollow
Butterfield Blues Band – Live
Aretha Franklin & King Curtis – Live At The Fillmore West
Buddy Guy & Junior Wells – Play The Blues
The Monkees – Headquarters Sessions
The Stooges – Complete Funhouse Sessions
Television – Live At The Old Waldorf

CATCH THE GERMS LIVE AT THE STARWOOD

Rhino Handmade Presents The Influential Band’s Legendary Final Concert With
Founding Member Darby Crash In Its Entirety For The First Time Ever

Pre-Order Exclusively At Rhino.com Starting May 24, Arrives June 22

LOS ANGELES – After The Germs’ snarling debut “Forming” helped usher in the West Coast punk scene in 1977, singer Darby Crash, guitarist Pat Smear, bassist Lorna Doom, and drummer Don Bolles returned two years later with (GI), an unrelenting onslaught of primal pounding and verbal venom that influenced a generation. But it was the group’s unhinged concerts—often teetering on the brink of riotous bedlam—that elevated The Germs to exalted status among punk rockers.

Until now, only a few examples of the group’s live shows have surfaced, adding to The Germs’ mystique. Rhino Handmade presents a live album that features, for the first time ever, The Germs’ legendary final concert with Crash. Set for release on June 22, LIVE AT THE STARWOOD: DECEMBER 3, 1980 will be available for pre-order starting on May 24 exclusively at www.rhino.com for a suggested price of $19.98. The unique packaging has a genuine DIY feel including black and white liner notes folded and stapled to resemble a punk fanzine, a reproduction of the handwritten set list, and an 8 1/2" x 11" replica of the original poster for the show.

The disc contains the entire unreleased concert, considered by many fans to be The Germs’ finest hour. Performing together for the first time in a year, the quartet played possessed, blasting rapid-fire through nearly every song in its arsenal. After opening with “Circle One” from the 1978 EP Lexicon Devil, the band bashed its way through all but two songs from (GI)—the band’s sole studio album—including “What We Do Is Secret,” “Our Way,” and “Shut Down (Annihilation Man).” “Caught In My Eye,” an outtake from the (GI) recording sessions (produced by Joan Jett), found its way onto the set list as well.

The disc also features: “Lion’s Share,” a track the band recorded in 1979 with producer Jack Nitzsche for Cruising, a film starring Al Pacino; “No God” from the Lexicon Devil EP; a cover of Public Image Ltd’s; “Public Image”; and “Forming” the first song the quartet recorded together.

LIVE AT THE STARWOOD represents the band’s final performance with founding member Darby Crash, who committed suicide by overdosing on heroin on December 7, 1980—less than a week after this show.

The collection’s liner notes provide a vivid eyewitness account of the show penned by Jonathan Gold. Describing the band’s place in history, he writes: “The Germs are to the Los Angeles punk scene what Brian Jones was to the Stones or Syd Barrett to Pink Floyd—the primal creative force that was both too flatulent to live with and too vital to have come into being without.”

THE DOORS ELECTRIFY ON SCREEN AND STAGE WITH
WHEN YOU’RE STRANGE SOUNDTRACK

Soundtrack Features Johnny Depp Reading The Poetry Of Jim Morrison, Plus Classic Studio Recordings, And Rare Live Performances From The Legendary Band,
Available April 6

Vinyl Double-LP Collections Absolutely Live And Live In New York Arrive March 16

LOS ANGELES – Rhino celebrates The Doors’ legacy as one of America’s most influential rock bands with a trio of audio releases to coincide with the theatrical release of When You’re Strange: A Film About The Doors. The first two releases are remastered double-LP live collections that highlight the explosive stage presence of Jim Morrison, John Densmore, Robby Krieger, and Ray Manzarek. The final release is the soundtrack to the film When You’re Strange, the first feature documentary about The Doors, opening in select markets on April 9.

When You’re Strange delivers an intimate look at The Doors using previously unseen footage filmed between 1965 and 1971. Produced by Wolf Films/Strange Pictures, in association with Rhino Entertainment, and released by Abramorama, the 90-minute documentary is written and directed by Tom DiCillo and narrated by Johnny Depp.

Rhino complements this telling of The Doors’ saga with a soundtrack that combines studio recordings and live performances with newly recorded readings of Morrison’s poetry by Depp. WHEN YOU’RE STRANGE: SONGS FROM THE MOTION PICTURE will be available April 6 at retail outlets, including www.whenyourestrangemovie.com, www.rhino.com, and www.thedoors.com, for a suggested price of $18.98 (CD) and $11.99 (digital).

The soundtrack contains several selections of Jim Morrison’s poetry as read by Depp, 14 songs that survey The Doors’ six landmark albums with original studio versions of classic tracks (“Touch Me,” “The End,” and “L.A. Woman”) along with rare live performances from The Ed Sullivan Show (“Light My Fire”), Danish TV (“When The Music’s Over”), and the Isle Of Wight Festival (“Break On Through [To The Other Side]”). The set also features interview clips with all four band members.

Shortly before the soundtrack’s debut, Rhino will release ABSOLUTELY LIVE and LIVE IN NEW YORK as double-LP sets on 180-gram virgin vinyl. These incendiary live albums will be available March 16 at retail outlets for a suggested price of $34.98 each. Bruce Botnick, The Doors’ original coproducer, engineer, and mixer used analog vacuum-tube equipment to remaster these albums. Beyond the attention to sonic detail, great care was also taken to accurately reproduce the original packaging.

Recorded at concerts in 1969 and 1970, ABSOLUTELY LIVE is a classic in The Doors’ original catalog. This album, first released in 1970 during Jim Morrison’s time with The Doors, presents incendiary performances of well-known Doors tracks, plus two originals only available live: “Universal Mind” and “Build Me A Woman.”

LIVE IN NEW YORK contains the first show from The Doors’ legendary run at The Felt Forum in New York City, one of the shows included in Rhino’s acclaimed boxed set, The Doors: Live In New York. Bruce Botnick mastered this concert—available here for the first time on vinyl—direct-to-disk, bypassing one whole stage of mixing, noise, and distortion, for the best-possible audiophile sound quality. Recorded on January 17, 1970—just a few weeks before the release of Morrison Hotel—the concert included soon-to-be-classics from the band’s forthcoming album, including “Roadhouse Blues,” “Peace Frog,” and “Ship Of Fools.”

DELANEY AND BONNIE EXTEND TOUR

Rhino Handmade Reissues Live Classic On Tour With Eric Clapton As A
Four-Disc Set With More Than Three Hours Of Unreleased Performances

Pre-Order From Rhino.com Now, Out On July 27

LOS ANGELES – Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett assembled an all-star group of “friends” in 1969 for a weeklong tour of England, a legendary excursion that would produce On Tour With Eric Clapton, one of rock’s most powerful and enduring live albums. Clocking in at a mere 40 minutes, the original left fans wanting more for decades. Rhino Handmade delivers with a four-disc deluxe reissue expanded with more than three hours of unreleased roof-raising, hickory-smoked rock ’n’ soul.

The set, which comes packaged in a mock road case, contains Delaney & Bonnie & Friends’ complete performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall, plus a composite of the next night’s performances at Colston Hall in Bristol, and both the early and late shows from the tour’s final stop at Fairfield Halls in Croydon. Set for release on July 27, ON TOUR WITH ERIC CLAPTON – DELUXE EDITION is now available for pre-order exclusively at www.rhino.com for a suggested list price of $79.98.

Along with the Bramletts, the touring band showcased on these discs includes guitarists Eric Clapton and Dave Mason, bassist Carl Radle, drummer Jim Gordon, organist Bobby Whitlock, Jim Price and Bobby Keys on horns, percussionist Tex Johnson, and singer Rita Coolidge. The Croydon shows also feature Mysterioso (aka George Harrison), who was hanging back in the shadows and going largely unnoticed until the announcer outed him between the closing tandem of “Coming Home” and the “Little Richard Medley.”

Along with unreleased versions of all the songs from the original, this reissue also contains several songs not featured on the 1970 album, including “I Don’t Know Why” a track the Bramletts penned with Clapton; “My Baby Specializes” and “Everybody Loves A Winner” from the Bramlett’s debut Home; “Get Ourselves Together” from the couple’s 1969 follow-up Accept No Substitute; the traditional “Will The Circle Be Unbroken”; a cover of Spencer Davis Group’s “Gimme Some Lovin’”; and the instrumental “Pigmy.”

Glyn Johns, who recorded the Colston Hall gig, revisits his experience in the collection’s detailed liner notes: “There is no question that they had an immense effect on popular music, mostly by influencing some of the most successful musicians of the day. The outstanding memory for me is the sound they created. Being an engineer, it had a huge influence on me—this, coupled with the complexity of the rhythm section and the ease with which they performed. Us Brits had never heard anything so fluid.”

GRATEFUL DEAD ROCK THE CRADLE OF LIBERTY

Raise The Crimson, White & Indigo With A 3-CD/1-DVD Set Containing
The Dead’s Previously Unreleased July 7, 1989 Philadelphia Concert
At JFK Stadium In Its Entirety

Available April 20 From Grateful Dead/Rhino

LOS ANGELES — The Grateful Dead were enjoying a late-career renaissance in 1989 when the band steamed into Philadelphia on one of the hottest days of the summer to play the last concert ever at John F. Kennedy Stadium. The July 7 show in the City of Brotherly Love highlights the band’s exuberant resurgence, a peak that rivals any that came before it.

Rhino salutes life, liberty, and the pursuit of “hippieness” with a collection that includes every note from this epic show on three CDs and one DVD. The DVD captures the entire concert, shot from an amazing multi-camera perspective by the same crew that shot the legendary Truckin' Up To Buffalo DVD. CRIMSON, WHITE & INDIGO: PHILADELPHIA, JULY 7, 1989, will be available April 20 from Grateful Dead/Rhino at all retail outlets, including Dead.net, for a suggested list price of $39.98. A digital version featuring all of the audio content will also be available.

The 19 tracks on 3 CDs–all but one previously unreleased–were mixed from the 24-track analog master tapes, enhanced using the latest audio engineering technology and presented here in HDCD. The set comes packaged with a booklet of rare photos and an essay by Steve Silberman, who coproduced the Grateful Dead’s boxed set of previously unreleased recordings, So Many Roads (1965-1995).

The Philadelphia concert offers a snapshot of the Dead’s 1989 tour, where the band played to some of its biggest audiences ever, a result of the group’s only Top 40 hit, “Touch Of Grey” from 1987’s In The Dark. During this tour, the band was recording the follow-up to that album, Built To Last, which is an important reason why the jamming heard here is particularly fluid and concise. In fact, the band played a pair of songs from the upcoming album, the aching ballad “Standing On The Moon” and the poignant “Blow Away,” a song cowritten by keyboardist Brent Mydland, who sadly died a year later.

The band helped raze the aging stadium, thundering through “Hell In A Bucket,” “Little Red Rooster,” and Bob Dylan’s “Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again.” Many sitting at the north end of the open-air stadium recall the concrete bleachers trembling during Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann’s drum duet in the second set. The show closed with another Dylan cover, “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door,” the last song ever performed at JFK.

When this show was recorded, the band included guitarist Jerry Garcia, drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann, bassist Phil Lesh, keyboardist Brent Mydland, and guitarist Bob Weir.

The saxophonist unveiled COLTRANE JAZZ (1961) shortly after recording Giant Steps (his first as bandleader) and Kind Of Blue with icon Miles Davis. In fact, a number of tracks from COLTRANE JAZZ feature players from the Kind Of Blue sessions, including pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb. “Village Blues” features pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Steve Davis, and drummer Elvin Jones, players who formed the foundation of the renowned quartet Coltrane recorded with during his tenure with Atlantic Records.

Later the same year, MY FAVORITE THINGS arrived with Coltrane’s free jazz interpretations of standards from the Great American Songbook such as the title track (one of Coltrane’s most popular tracks), Cole Porter’s “Everytime We Say Goodbye,” and two George Gershwin selections “Summertime” and “But Not For Me.”

The album’s fertile sessions—three days in October 1960—went on to produce two more stellar albums, beginning with COLTRANE PLAYS THE BLUES (1962). Among the tracks is “Blues To Bechet,” a song for Sidney Bechet, the pioneering jazz saxophonist who inspired Coltrane to play soprano saxophone, an instrument heard throughout this track.

The final album harvested from those legendary sessions, COLTRANE’S SOUND, did not appear until 1964. Eclipsed to a large extent by the release of A Love Supreme the same year, COLTRANE’S SOUND has gained respect over time thanks to exceptional performances of “The Night Has A Thousand Eyes” and the Coltrane originals “Central Park West,” “Liberia,” and “Equinox.”
