WILCO’S SUMMERTEETH GETS DELUXE TREATMENT 

4-CD Set Features A Remastered Version Of The Original Album Expanded 
With Unreleased Studio Recordings, And An Unreleased 1999 Concert

Limited Edition, 180-gram, 5-LP Version Exclusively Features An Unmitigated Disaster, Wilco’s 1999 Live Performance At Tower Records Available From Rhino On November 6 

Previously Unreleased Version Of “Summer Teeth” (Slow Rhodes Version) Out Today

LOS ANGELES – Wilco’s third album, Summerteeth, arrived in March 1999 to glowing reviews for its daring arrangements, lush harmonies and revealing lyrics. More than 20 years later, the Chicago-based band is expanding one of its best with multiple collections packed with hours of unreleased studio and live recordings. 

The first is SUMMERTEETH: DELUXE EDITION, a four-CD set that includes a Bob Ludwig 2020 remastered version of the original album (making its CD debut), along with an entire disc of unreleased studio outtakes, alternate versions and demos that chart the making of the album from songwriting demos to alternate studio arrangements to finished masters. 

Summerteeth introduced many fan-favorite classic tracks that the band continues to play live today, including “I’m Always In Love,” “A Shot In The Arm” and “Via Chicago.” The 24 previously unreleased recordings that debut on the DELUXE EDITION explore the making of the critically acclaimed album with demos “No Hurry” and “I’ll Sing It,” outtakes “I’m Always In Love” (Early Run Through) and “Viking Dan,” and alternate versions “Summer Teeth” (Slow Rhodes Version) and “Pieholden Suite” (Alternate). 

The two remaining discs in the CD version of SUMMERTEETH: DELUXE EDITION feature a previously unissued live show. The concert took place late in the Summerteeth tour, on November 1, 1999 in Colorado at The Boulder Theatre, when the new songs had been road-tested and the band was in top form. Sourced from an uncirculated soundboard recording, it features band members Jeff Tweedy, John Stirratt, Ken Coomer and Jay Bennett. Most of the songs on Summerteeth were performed during the show, along with several tracks from the band’s two previous records, Being There (1996) and A.M. (1995), as well as Mermaid Avenue (1999). The latter was the first in a series of albums that Wilco recorded with Billy Bragg where the group wrote music for and sang previously unheard lyrics penned by folk icon Woody Guthrie. 

The CD set will be released on November 6 for $49.98 and will also be available from digital and streaming services.

A limited-edition vinyl version of SUMMERTEETH: DELUXE EDITION will also be released on November 6 for $99.98. Limited to 6,500 copies, the five-LP set features the remastered studio album as well as the unreleased demos, alternates and outtake recordings pressed on 180-gram vinyl. However, instead of the Colorado concert included in the CD package, the LP version contains a special, exclusive performance from early 1999 titled, An Unmitigated Disaster, a previously unreleased live in-store performance at Tower Records on March 11, 1999, just two days after the album was released. The 10-song set, which was broadcast on Chicago radio station WXRT-FM, highlights several tracks from Summerteeth (“We’re Just Friends,” “How To Fight Loneliness” and “Can’t Stand It”). This show will only be available in the LP collection. 

All versions of SUMMERTEETH: DELUXE EDITION are designed by original Summerteeth art director and Grammy ® award winner, Lawrence Azerrad. The iconic cover art is revisited and re-imagined with deluxe treatments, including metallic foil packaging. Additionally, a special 180-gram colored-vinyl version will also be released the same day. Limited to 2,000 copies, the five-LP set will be available exclusively from WilcoStore.com for $99.98. All versions of the release are available for pre-order today. 

Finally, Jeff Tweedy recently announced his second book, How To Write One Song, available on October 13 via Dutton. With How To Write One Song, Tweedy creates a candid and fascinating primer on the art form he knows best, revealing both the behind-the-scenes process, and the joy he gets from making something new. More information on the book can be found here.

THE DOORS MORRISON HOTEL 
50th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION 

2-CD/1-LP Set Expands The Doors’ Fifth Studio Album 
With Over An Hour Of Unreleased Session Outtakes 
That Show How The Songs Evolved In The Studio 

Unreleased Take Of “Peace Frog/Blue Sunday” Available Today Digitally

LISTEN NOW 

Available From Rhino On October 9

LOS ANGELES – The Doors returned to their roots and were reborn a rock ’n’ roll band on Morrison Hotel, the group’s fifth studio album and fifth consecutive gold-certified record. Completed in only a few weeks and released in February 1970, the hard-charging album took its name from the Skid Row hotel in downtown Los Angeles that’s featured in the iconic cover photo taken by Henry Diltz. 

To commemorate the album’s 50-year anniversary, Rhino checks in again at the Morrison Hotel with a 2-CD/1-LP set that will be available on October 9 for $54.98. MORRISON HOTEL: 50TH ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION includes the original album newly remastered by The Doors’ longtime engineer and mixer Bruce Botnick, plus a bonus disc of unreleased studio outtakes, and the original album on 180-gram virgin vinyl. The music will also be available from digital and streaming services the same day. An unreleased take of “Peace Frog/Blue Sunday” is available today digitally. Click HERE to listen now. 

For this new collection, the original album has been expanded with more than an hour of unreleased recordings taken from the sessions for Morrison Hotel. These 19 outtakes transport listeners into the studio with Jim Morrison, John Densmore, Robby Krieger, and Ray Manzarek for an unprecedented perspective on the making of the album. 

Botnick says: “There are many takes, different arrangements, false starts, and insightful studio conversations between the band – who were in the studio – and producer Paul Rothchild – who was in the control room. It’s like being a fly on the wall.”

Several of these unheard recordings spotlight how “Queen Of The Highway” and “Roadhouse Blues” evolved across multiple sessions. It’s especially interesting to hear how the band played with different bass players on “Roadhouse Blues.” Early versions include Harvey Brooks, who played on the band’s previous album, The Soft Parade. Later takes feature guitar legend Lonnie Mack on bass along with The Lovin’ Spoonful’s John Sebastian on harmonica who, due to contractual restrictions at the time, had to be credited as “G. Puglese.” 

Among the treasure trove of unreleased outtakes are also rough versions of Morrison Hotel tracks “Peace Frog” and “Blue Sunday,” as well as The Doors rarity “I Will Never Be Untrue.” The collection also captures some incredible session outtakes of the band jamming on cover versions of the Motown classic “Money (That’s What I Want)” and B.B. King’s “Rock Me.” 

Veteran rock journalist David Fricke tells the tale behind this classic album in the set’s detailed liner notes. He writes: “As spring turned to summer in the last year of the 1960s, The Doors were a band in suspended animation. Singer Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, and drummer John Densmore were off the road and in serious legal jeopardy after Morrison’s profane meltdown during a show at Miami’s Dinner Key Auditorium…The Doors were also exhausted and uncertain of their recording future after the protracted studio drama and uneven experiment of their fourth album, The Soft Parade…It was a season of chaos and anxiety. But The Doors were on the road to Morrison Hotel.” 

A new line of official Morrison Hotel merchandise has also launched today in celebration of the album’s 50th anniversary. Fans can visit www.thedoors.com for exclusive hoodies, sweats, socks, a t-shirt, a jean jacket, and a key chain from the Morrison Hotel.

THE PRINCE ESTATE, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WARNER RECORDS, RELEASES PREVIOUSLY UNHEARD TRACK

“WITNESS 4 THE PROSECUTION (VERSION 2)”

LISTEN HERE 

TRACK FROM THE EXPANDED REISSUE OF PRINCE’S SEMINAL DOUBLE ALBUM SIGN O’ THE TIMES 
OUT SEPTEMBER 25 

PRE-ORDER ALBUM HERE 

(Minneapolis, MN – August 13, 2020) – Today, The Prince Estate in partnership with Warner Records, releases “Witness 4 The Prosecution (Version 2),” a previously unheard recording from Prince’s legendary vault that will be featured on the expanded reissue of Prince’s iconic Sign O’ The Times out September 25. 
 
Listen Here 
 
“Witness 4 The Prosecution (Version 2)” was recorded at Sunset Sound, Studio 3 on October 6, 1986, by engineer Coke Johnson. 

When Country music artist Deborah Allen asked Prince if he could write a song for her, he decided to rework “Witness 4 The Prosecution” instead. The original song contained contributions from the Revolution, but this re-recorded version is almost exclusively Prince (with the exception of Eric Leeds and Atlanta Bliss on sax and trumpet respectively), and it includes at least five different Fairlight keyboard tracks and seven layers of Prince’s own background vocals. Prince decided to keep the song, and would instead offer her “Telepathy,” which had been recorded and mixed on the same date.
 
The new Sign O’ The Times expanded reissue will be available this fall via all physical, digital and streaming partners, with the classic album remastered for the very first time. The Super Deluxe edition features 63 previously unreleased tracks, as well as a previously unreleased 2+ hour video concert performance from the vault. 
 
Pre-order here. 
 
The first unreleased tracks from Sign O’ The Times Super Deluxe edition reissue were shared through recent weeks. “Witness 4 The Prosecution (Version 1)”, “I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man (1979 Version)”, and “Cosmic Day” are now available on all digital download and streaming platforms. Listen here and here and here respectively.

DAVID BOWIE   
YOUNG AMERICANS 45th ANNIVERSARY GOLD VINYL ALBUM  
BRICK & MORTAR EXCLUSIVE LIMITED EDITION   
TO BE RELEASED ON SEPTEMBER 18  

Originally released in March 1975, Young Americans was David Bowie’s ninth studio album. To celebrate its 45th anniversary, Parlophone is proud to announce a special limited edition "brick and mortar" exclusive gold vinyl edition of the album.

Young Americans was a huge departure for Bowie, creating a sound during sessions in Philadelphia and New York that he described as “Plastic Soul.” The album's two hit singles, the title track and the John Lennon co-write “Fame,” are viewed as amongst Bowie's very best with the latter giving him his first US #1.
