BRIAN WILSON TO RELEASE PLAYBACK,
HIS FIRST EVER SOLO CAREER-SPANNING ANTHOLOGY

18-Song Collection Spans Nearly 30 Years, Touches On Nine of
Wilson's Solo Albums And Includes Two Previously Unreleased Tracks

CD, Vinyl, And Digital Versions Will Be Available From Rhino On September 22

Pet Sounds 50th Anniversary World Tour Continues Throughout 2017

LOS ANGELES - Brian Wilson's eponymous solo debut for Sire in 1988 launched an extended period of renewal for the iconic Beach Boys songwriter. Rhino revisits Wilson's solo career with a new 18-song collection that mixes studio and live recordings with two previously unreleased tracks: "Run James Run," a new song Wilson wrote and recorded for this collection, and "Some Sweet Day," an unreleased gem he wrote with Andy Paley in the early 1990s for an unfinished recording project.

PLAYBACK: THE BRIAN WILSON ANTHOLOGY covers more than 30 years of music with selections from nine of Wilson's solo albums and will be released September 22 on CD ($13.98), double-LP ($31.98), on digital download and streaming services. Tickets are also available now to see Wilson perform live as he continues the Pet Sounds 50th Anniversary Final Performances World Tour, which was recently extended due to overwhelming demand.

The collection opens with "Love And Mercy," one of the four songs on PLAYBACK taken from Wilson's self-titled debut. The song has become one of Wilson's most beloved classics, a regular closer to his live concerts, and was adopted as the title of the acclaimed 2015 biopic that saw the Beach Boy memorably played by both Paul Dano and John Cusack.

Several tracks on PLAYBACK come from the two albums Wilson released in 2004:  Gettin' In Over My Head and the Grammy®-winning Brian Wilson Presents Smile. The most poignant of these is "Soul Searchin'," a song Wilson built around a vocal track left behind by his brother Carl, who passed away in 1998. The celebrated orchestral masterpiece, Smile is represented by "Heroes And Villains", and the timeless classic, "Surf's Up."

Those back-to-back releases ushered in a sustained burst of creativity for Wilson that includes four acclaimed albums. They're represented on the collection by "Midnight's Another Day" (That Lucky Old Sun, 2008); "The Like In I Love You" (Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin, 2010); "Colors Of The Wind" ( In The Key Of Disney, 2011); and "One Kind Of Love" (No Pier Pressure, 2015.)

Tucked in with these studio classics are two live performances from Wilson's 2000 concert recording, Live At The Roxy Theatre. Included here are "The First Time" and "This Isn't Love," a charming collaboration with Wilson's Pet Sounds lyricist Tony Asher.

PLAYBACK: THE BRIAN WILSON ANTHOLOGY includes a selection of classic photos from throughout Wilson's solo career, in addition to a candid shot taken in the studio in 2017 during the recording of "Run James Run." The album also includes liner notes by David Wild, and features a previously unseen picture of Wilson on the front cover, taken by legendary rock photographer Robert Matheu.

JET RELEASES DELUXE EDITIONS OF
THEIR FIRST TWO ALBUMS

Reissues Of Get Born And Shine On Including Unreleased Tracks
And Rarities Now Available From Rhino

LOS ANGELES - Following their reformation and tour dates earlier this year, one of Australia's most successful rock bands of all time, Jet, have reissued their first two albums Get Born and Shine On. Get Born: Deluxe Edition is available as a 2-CD set and on digital download and streaming services today. Shine On: Deluxe Edition is also available today on digital download and streaming services. Both deluxe editions feature rare and previously unreleased digitally re-mastered recordings from each period. 
 
Of the bonus content, Chris Cester, founding member, drummer and songwriter says: "Once the ball started rolling, things were happening quickly and we needed more songs to round out the set. We only had 13 songs. Get Born basically! It was a wild time, and a really creative period. We had pretty much been high for three years straight! These recordings were lost for years but then re-appeared down the line somehow."
 
Jet quickly conquered the world after forming in 2001, selling more than 6.5 million albums globally and securing 10-x Platinum certification in Australia and Platinum in the US and UK for their 2003 debut album Get Born. The album produced a string of classic singles in "Are You Gonna Be My Girl," "Rollover DJ," and "Look What You've Done" and netted the band six 2004 ARIA awards. Both "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" and "Cold Hard Bitch" peaked at number 1 on the US Billboard Modern Rock singles charts and propelled the band to the top of festival bills and charts around the world.
 
In 2006, Jet were named APRA's Songwriters of The Year and for three years running "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" was the most performed Australian song overseas.
 
Jet's follow up album Shine On followed in 2006 with another collection of melodic rockers including "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is," "Bring It On Back," and "Rip It Up." The album achieved platinum status in Australia on the back of stand-out headline shows around the world and an unforgettable Big Day Out run in 2007.
