To celebrate what would have been the 74th birthday of David Bowie on January 8, two previously unreleased cover versions John Lennon’s “Mother” and Bob Dylan’s “Tryin’ To Get To Heaven” will be released as a very special limited edition 7” single.

TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA REISSUES THE CHRISTMAS TRILOGY 

Rhino Brings The Beloved 3CD/DVD Set Back Into Print Tomorrow, December 4, And Launches A Series Of Visualizers To Showcase The Band’s Acclaimed Holiday Music

TSO Will Host The Group’s First-Ever Livestream Event “Christmas Eve 
And Other Stories Live In Concert” Starting December 18

Tickets On Sale Now

LOS ANGELES – Trans-Siberian Orchestra created a contemporary holiday classic with its multi-platinum trilogy of Christmas concept albums. And for more than 20 years, fans have flocked to TSO’s performances of these celebrated albums. The pandemic may have sidelined the band’s popular holiday tour this year, but that hasn’t stopped TSO from finding new ways to share its epic yuletide music.

The festivities begin with the return of THE CHRISTMAS TRILOGY. This collection, which has been out of print for several years, gathers the entire trilogy – Christmas Eve And Other Stories (1996), The Christmas Attic (1998) and The Lost Christmas Eve (2004). As a bonus, it also includes The Ghosts Of Christmas Eve (1999), a DVD that adds a stunning visual element to TSO’s vivid sound. Updated with new artwork, the 3CD/DVD set will be available tomorrow for $39.98. 

In addition, selections from the trilogy will be featured in a series of video visualizers available on YouTube. Several are online now, including one for “Christmas Jam.” Additional visualizers will be released as Christmas approaches, with the final one – “Christmas Bells, Carousels, & Time” – set to arrive on Christmas Day.  

Thankfully, fans who want to see TSO live this year, won’t be left in the cold. The band will keep its rock holiday tradition alive by bringing a live performance right into fans’ homes with “Christmas Eve and Other Stories Live In Concert,” TSO’s first-ever livestream event. The show promises all-new staging of the group’s beloved album, Christmas Eve and Other Stories. The livestream, available December 18-20, will also include pre-show content, behind-the-scenes footage and classic interview segments. Tickets are on sale now at www.tsolivestream.com.   

TSO’s story began in 1996 when renowned rock producer Paul O’Neill (Aerosmith, Savatage) formed the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Since then, the band has played approximately 2,100 concert dates for more than 17 million fans and has sold in excess of 12 million albums and DVDs.

BLACK SABBATH VOL 4 REVISITED

 

Super Deluxe Edition Of The Band’s 1972 Classic Includes

Newly Remastered Original Album Plus 20

Previously Unreleased Studio And Live Recordings

 

Both 4-CD And 5-LP Versions Will Be Available From Rhino

On February 12

 

 

LOS ANGELES – Black Sabbath unleashed the group’s fourth album in two years in 1972 with Vol 4. Stacked with classic tracks like “Supernaut,” “Changes,” and “Snowblind,” the record harnessed the group’s surging popularity to reach the Top 10 on the Albums Chart in the U.K. and the Top 20 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S., on its path to being certified platinum by the RIAA.

The innovators of heavy metal revisit Vol 4 on a new collection that includes a newly remastered version of the original album along with a trove of 20 unreleased studio and live recordings. VOL 4: SUPER DELUXE EDITION will be available on February 12 as a 4-CD set ($59.98) and a 5-LP set pressed on 180-gram vinyl ($109.98), Both versions come with extensive booklets featuring liner notes with quotes from the era from all four band members, rare photos, and a poster with previously unpublished early artwork of the album using the working title Snowblind. Both the 4-CD and 5-LP versions are available for pre-order now at the Rhino.com store. 

The newly remastered version of the original album will also be available on digital download and streaming services on the same day. Click HERE to listen to the newly remastered version of “Tomorrow’s Dream,” available today digitally.

Bolstered by a fresh remastering, Vol 4’s ambitious arrangements and complex grooves have never sounded more inspired and menacing. Originally released in September 1972, the album marked two major changes for the members of Sabbath: Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward. While their previous albums – Black Sabbath, Paranoid, and Master of Reality – were produced by Rodger Bain and recorded in England, they instead chose to produce Vol 4 themselves and record it at the Record Plant in Los Angeles.

The generous addition of bonus material on VOL 4: SUPER DELUXE EDITION begins with six previously unreleased studio outtakes from the original sessions for the album. Each one has been newly mixed by Steven Wilson using the analog multi-tracks. Highlights include outtakes for “Supernaut” and “Changes,” as well an instrumental version of “Under The Sun.”

The set also features 11 additional studio recordings (also newly mixed by Wilson from the analog multi-tracks) that spotlight alternative takes, false starts and snippets of studio dialogue. These tracks transport listeners into the studio with the band and offer some insight into the making of the album. Along with several alternative takes for “Wheels Of Confusion,” these recordings also include outtakes for “The Straightener” and “Snowblind.”

The collection concludes with a searing collection of live performances that re-create a typical setlist from Black Sabbath’s tour for Vol 4. Recorded in March 1973 at various stops along the band’s U.K. tour. The recordings were originally slated for a live album that was ultimately shelved. Although some of these performances have been previously available in various states, the release marks the first time that a full 1973 live Sabbath show has been recreated. The live audio has been newly mixed by Richard Digby Smith using the original 16-track analog tapes to achieve a level of fidelity not heard on any previous incarnations. Included here are thrilling live versions of Vol 4 tracks (“Tomorrow’s Dream” and “Cornucopia”) and fan favorites (“Paranoid” and “War Pigs.”)
