CHICAGO PARTNERS WITH THE U.S. ARMY FOR NEW 
“25 OR 6 TO 4” GOARMY REMIX OF CLASSIC TRACK 

50 Years After Its Original Release, One Of The Band’s Signature Songs Has Been Reimagined With A Modern Hip-Hop Twist

A Full-Length Version Of The “25 or 6 to 4 (GoArmy Remix)” Is Available Now

LOS ANGELES – Fifty years after its original release, Chicago’s signature songs, “25 or 6 to 4,” has been reimagined as a hip-hop anthem about finding your inner warrior with fiery new vocals by indie rapper realnamejames. An abbreviated version of the remix first appeared in November 2019 as a part of the launch of the U.S. Army’s “What’s Your Warrior?” marketing campaign, which was developed to showcase the breadth and depth of opportunities for today’s youth to achieve their goals in America’s largest military branch. The track sparked conversation and excitement online, and a full-length version of The “25 or 6 to 4 (GoArmy Remix)” is now available for download and on all digital streaming services here. 
 
The original version of the song was written in 1969 by Robert Lamm, a founding member of Chicago. Lamm, along with bandmates Peter Cetera, Terry Kath, Lee Loughnane, James Pankow, Walter Parazaider, and Danny Seraphine, recorded the song for the group’s 1970 breakthrough album, Chicago (II). Certified platinum by the RIAA, the record reached #4 on the U.S. album charts, and “25 or 6 to 4” became the group’s first Top Five single, peaking at #4 and it remains one of their most recognizable songs to this day. 

The lyrics of the original song reflect Lamm’s experience writing a song in the middle of the night. The enigmatic title is a reference to the time he was writing the song, 25 or 26 minutes before 4 a.m. While Lamm focused on overcoming a creative hurtle, the new lyrics written for 25 OR 6 TO 4 (GOARMY REMIX) concentrate on the pursuit of personal achievement.

“I so respect the skills of realnamejames with his tour de force rap that creates a metaphor for bravery and accomplishment, says Lamm. “It’s exciting to have my song morph into a powerful audio/video experience.” 

Anchored by a thunderous beat, 25 OR 6 TO 4 (GOARMY REMIX) skillfully incorporates elements from the original song. The remix includes Kath’s iconic descending guitar riff and Cetera’s impassioned vocals backed by Lamm, while Kath harmonizes the repeated chorus “25 or 6 to 4.” This all comes together with the instantly recognizable horns of Loughnane, Pankow, and Parazaider.

Chicago, known as the “rock band with horns” is one of the longest-running and best-selling groups of all time. It's the first American band to ever chart albums in Billboard's Pop Top 40 in six consecutive decades, the highest charting American band in Billboard's Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists and the #4 band on Billboard's All-Time Top Bands and Duos list. The group's extensive accomplishments include: two Grammy Awards® and a Lifetime Achievement Award from The Recording Academy, multiple American Music Awards, 11 Number One singles, five consecutive Number One albums and record sales in excess of 100,000,000, with 47 albums earning gold and platinum certification. Chicago was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2016, and Chicago's first album, Chicago Transit Authority, was inducted into the GRAMMY® Hall Of Fame in 2014. In 2017, the Songwriters Hall of Fame inducted songwriters Robert Lamm (“25 or 6 to 4”,"Saturday In The Park”) and James Pankow (“Feelin' Stronger Every Day”, “Make Me Smile”).

FLEETWOOD MAC’S EARLY YEARS

SPOTLIGHTED IN TWO NEW BOXED SETS

8-CD Set Fleetwood Mac 1969-1974 Includes Remastered Versions Of

Seven Studio Albums Plus An Unreleased 1974 Concert

4-LP Fleetwood Mac 1973-1974 Collection Features Penguin, Mystery To Me,

And Heroes Are Hard To Find, Plus 1974 Concert And A 7” Single

Limited Edition, Colored-Vinyl Edition Available For Pre-Order Now

Exclusively From Rhino.com

All Three Sets Will Available On September 4

LOS ANGELES – After Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green, John McVie, and Jeremy Spencer started Fleetwood Mac in 1967, they quickly found an audience eager for their British-style blues. Over the next seven years, the band would sign with Reprise Records, release seven studio albums, and release many classic tracks that are still beloved today. Fleetwood Mac’s early rise to fame takes centerstage on two upcoming Rhino releases that spotlight the group’s deep-blues roots.

The first release is an 8-CD boxed set that includes remastered versions of all seven studio albums the band recorded between 1969 and 1974, several bonus tracks, and an unreleased 1974 concert recorded just a few months before Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined the band. On September 4, FLEETWOOD MAC 1969-1974 will be available on CD for $54.98.

The set covers a five-year time frame that encompasses several different band lineups, from founding members Fleetwood, Green, McVie and Spencer; to later additions like Danny Kirwan, Christine McVie, Dave Walker, Bob Welch, and Bob Weston.

The collection includes seven studio albums: Then Play On (1969), Kiln House (1970), Future Games (1971), Bare Trees (1972), Penguin (1973), Mystery To Me (1973), and Heroes Are Hard To Find (1974). Those records fueled Fleetwood Mac’s early popularity in the U.K. and propelled them into the Top Ten with singles like “Man Of The World,” “Oh Well – Pt. 1,” “The Green Manalishi (With The Two Prong Crown),” and the #1 hit “Albatross.” 

The CD set concludes with an unreleased recording of the band’s December 15, 1974 concert at The Record Plant in Sausalito, California. The performance captures the band – Fleetwood, Welch and the McVies – on tour supporting their latest album, Heroes Are Hard To Find. Originally, the show was simulcast on the legendary rock radio station KSAN-FM in San Francisco. 

For the second release, Rhino continues to bring Fleetwood Mac’s early albums back into print on vinyl with a 4-LP/7” boxed set that will be available on September 4 for $119.98. FLEETWOOD MAC 1973-1974 includes the unreleased 1974 live album along with Penguin (1973), Mystery To Me (1973) and Heroes Are Hard To Find (1974). 

To ensure superb sound quality, Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering cut the lacquers for all the albums from the original analog masters, which are pressed on 140-gram vinyl and presented in replica sleeves made to look like the original pressings. As a final touch, the set also includes a 7” single with “For Your Love” (Mono Promo Edit) on one side, and the previously unreleased “Good Things (Come To Those Who Wait)” on the flipside. 

On the same day, a limited edition, colored-vinyl edition of FLEETWOOD MAC 1973-1974 will be available exclusively from www.rhino.com. The studio albums, live recording, and 7” single will each be pressed on a different colored vinyl: Penguin (yellow), Mystery To Me (orange), Heroes Are Hard To Find (gold), Live from the Record Plan 12-15-74 (white), and 7” (blue). The limited edition is available for pre-order now.

Demos, Rough Mixes, Outtakes, And Bob Stinson’s Final Recordings With The Band

LISTEN NOW
 

LOS ANGELES – The making of Pleased To Meet Me was a transformative journey for The Replacements, one that began with the combustible Minneapolis combo on the brink of collapse and culminated in one of the definitive albums of the band’s career. That transformation is chronicled in-depth on the group’s latest boxed set, PLEASED TO MEET ME (DELUXE EDITION). 
 
More than half of the music (29 of the 55 tracks) on this Deluxe Edition set has never been released, including demos, rough mixes, and outtakes as well as Bob Stinson’s last recordings with The Replacements from 1986.

PLEASED TO MEET ME (DELUXE EDITION) will be available from Rhino on October 9 as a 3-CD/1-LP set ($64.98) and digitally. Six previously unreleased “rough mixes,” including “Alex Chilton,” are available today on digital download and streaming services. Click HERE to listen now. 
 
Several exclusive bundles can be pre-ordered now at Rhino.com which include a variety of limited edition items including a t-shirt, tote bag, iron-on patch, bumper sticker, placemat, and a cassette featuring a previously unreleased interview with Paul Westerberg recorded just before the release of the album. Brief excerpts from the interview were originally included in a radio promo LP that was released in 1987 but this marks the first time that the complete interview has been made available.  

The music is presented in a 12 x 12 hardcover book loaded with dozens of rarely seen photos along with a detailed history of the Pleased To Meet Me era written by Bob Mehr, who authored The New York Times bestseller, Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements. Mehr, together with Rhino’s Jason Jones, produced this new collection. 

Pleased To Meet Me was recorded over three months at Ardent Studios in Memphis with legendary producer Jim Dickinson before it debuted in April 1987. The collection opens with a newly remastered version of the original 11-track album along with a selection of B-sides and a version of “Can’t Hardly Wait” that was remixed by Jimmy Iovine. All of the music included in this boxed set has been remastered by Justin Perkins, who remastered the band’s widely acclaimed 2019 boxed set, Dead Man’s Pop. 

The second disc explores the creative process behind Pleased To Meet Me with 15 demos, 11 of which are unreleased, that were recorded at Blackberry Way Studios in Minneapolis during the summer of 1986. The first seven of these demos represent the last recordings made by all four original members of The Replacements. After those demo sessions stalled out, singer/guitarist Westerberg, bassist Tommy Stinson, and drummer Chris Mars made the painful decision to part ways with lead guitarist Bob Stinson after recording five albums together. 

The disc’s remaining eight demos feature the band as a trio and include “Shooting Dirty Pool,” two versions of “Kick It In,” and “Even If It’s Cheap,” whose opening line (“Pleased to meet me/the pleasure’s all yours”) would ultimately inspire the title of the album.

The collection’s final disc features 13 previously unreleased rough mixes by studio engineer John Hampton that include the majority of the album along with non-album tracks like “Election Day” and “Birthday Gal.” These rough mixes are also featured on the 180-gram vinyl record included in the set. 

Rounding out the collection are several unreleased tracks (Westerberg’s “Run For The Country” and “Learn How To Fail,” Tommy Stinson’s “Trouble On The Way”) along with a selection of outtakes (“Beer For Breakfast” and “I Don’t Know”) that debuted on the 1997 compilation, All For Nothing/Nothing For All.

“THE GOOD OL’ GRATEFUL DEADCAST” 
THE OFFICIAL GRATEFUL DEAD PODCAST
LAUNCHES TODAY

First Eight Episodes Will Explore Workingman’s Dead, 
Tied To The Album’s 50th Anniversary 

The Series’ Debut Episode “Workingman’s Dead 50: Uncle John’s Band” Available Now 

Weekly Episodes Premiere Every Thursday
Hosted by Rich Mahan And Jesse Jarnow, 
Along With Special Guests From The Grateful Dead Universe
 

LOS ANGELES – “The Good Ol’ Grateful Deadcast,” the official Grateful Dead podcast, has launched today. The weekly series is devoted to exploring the music and mythology behind one of the most enduring, progressive, and influential bands in the history of recorded music.

Produced and hosted by singer songwriter and producer Rich Mahan and author and WFMU DJ Jesse Jarnow, the Deadcast’s weekly episodes will present an aural and oral history of the Grateful Dead’s long strange trip. The podcast’s tagline is “For The Committed And The Curious,” as episodes will invite new fans to explore the band’s enormous mythology in digestible chunks and enlighten life-long Dead Heads about corners of the band’s history they never knew existed. No topic will be off limits on “The Good Ol’ Grateful Deadcast” as Mahan and Jarnow explore the band’s outrageous history, innovations, and impact from 1965 to today. Many of the unsolved mysteries of the Dead world will also be explained including: which obscure Macedonian folk song Jerry Garcia borrowed the “Uncle John's Band” melody from; dating the exact writing of “Dire Wolf”; and locating the secret trail between Garcia and Janis Joplin's houses.

For each episode, the hosts will be joined by special guests from the Grateful Dead universe including Trixie Garcia (Garcia’s daughter), David Lemieux (Grateful Dead legacy manager and archivist), Dennis McNally (author and the band’s former publicist), and Bill “Grateful Red” Walton (NBA Champion and famous Dead Head). Future episodes will also include rare interviews with many who were closely involved in the early years of the band including Stephen Barncard, Steve Brown, Brian Godchaux, and Ron and Susan Wickersham, amongst many others. 

“The Good Ol’ Grateful Deadcast” debuts in step with the 50th anniversary of the band’s classic album, Workingman’s Dead, which was originally released on June 14, 1970. To celebrate this milestone, the first eight episodes will take deep dives into each song on the album individually. The first episode, available now, takes a look at “Uncle John’s Band” with specials guests including Grateful Dead tour manager Sam Cutler, songwriter Jim Lauderdale, Workingman’s Dead producer Bob Matthews, and collaborator David Nelson. 
 
These special Workingman’s Dead episodes also feature some of the newly unearthed studio outtakes from the album’s recording sessions that were unveiled last week in the new digital collection Workingman’s Dead: The Angel’s Share which is available to stream now. 

Compiled from dozens of 16-track reels that were recently discovered in unlabeled boxes, the collection includes outtakes for every song on the album, which have been unheard since they left the studio over 50 years ago. The conversations about the album on “The Good Ol’ Grateful Deadcast” will provide a great companion to these newly uncovered recordings.

Fans have always been a vital part in the Grateful Dead story and “The Good Ol’ Grateful Deadcast” will continue that tradition by collecting and sharing many of these fascinating stories. Fans can visit dead.net/deadcast to submit their own personal accounts and experiences related to the band and the Grateful Dead community to be used on future episodes. 

All episodes of “The Good Ol’ Grateful Deadcast” will be available via iTunes, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Play, Pocket Casts, Overcast and the Grateful Dead channels on YouTube and SoundCloud.
