MADONNA’S FIRST FOUR ALBUMS SET FOR RELEASE 
ON CRYSTAL CLEAR VINYL

Madonna, Like A Virgin, True Blue And Who’s That Girl Soundtrack Arrive In Step With Her Upcoming Madame X Tour

Each One Will Be Available On November 8 From Rhino

LOS ANGELES – Rhino today announced the reissue of Madonna’s first four iconic albums – three studio and one soundtrack – on crystal clear vinyl on November 8. Madonna, Like a Virgin, True Blue and Who’s That Girl: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack will be available for $21.98 each. A bundle of all four albums will be available from the Rhino.com store for $69.98.  

Madonna’s seminal, self-titled 1983 album is certified five-times platinum and sold over 10 million copies worldwide, captivating audiences with Top 10 hits including “Holiday”, “Lucky Star” and “Borderline”.

Madonna cemented her status as a cultural icon a year later with her follow-up release, Like a Virgin. Produced by Nile Rodgers, the record was her first to top the U.S. albums chart, its title track becoming her first #1 single. Certified diamond, Like a Virgin sold over 21 million copies worldwide. The record features hits including “Dress You Up”, “Angel” and “Material Girl”. 

In 1986, Madonna co-wrote and co-produced True Blue, which topped global album charts in 28 countries and the U.S. The critically acclaimed release has sold more than 25 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums in history. All five of its singles reached the Billboard Top Five, including three #1’s – “Live To Tell”, “Papa Don’t Preach” and “Open Your Heart.”

Madonna next starred in the film Who’s That Girl and recorded four songs for its soundtrack. Released in 1987, Who’s That Girl: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack has sold more than six million copies internationally thanks in part to its chart-topping title track and “Causing A Commotion”. 

Madonna released her critically acclaimed 14th studio album Madame X this year and is set to embark on a highly anticipated all-theater Madame X Tour. The tour, which visits the U.S. and Europe, begins on September 17 in New York City. For more information, visit Madonna.com.

“I didn’t want to do a double album, but I just kept writing... I always compare songwriting to a girl walking in the door. You don’t know what she’s going to look like, but all of a sudden she’s there.” Prince, November 1982

(Minneapolis, MN – September 10, 2019) – Considered one of the most iconic and influential double albums in rock history, Prince’s 1999 was released at a major turning point in the artist’s career. After years of being relegated to the R&B charts, he experienced his first true crossover moment with the mega-hits “Little Red Corvette,” “1999,” and “Delirious,“ shattering barriers with his revolutionary blend of rock, funk, R&B and new wave pop, and making history by being one of the first black artists to have their videos in heavy rotation on MTV. 

The songs included on 1999 were just a small sampling of the work that was pouring out of Prince in the intensely prolific period of 1981 and 1982. In addition to his own material, he was also working up tracks that he would give to his protégés Vanity 6 and The Time, and recording dozens of songs that would be stored for possible later use, archiving them in his growing vault of unreleased material.

This November 29, The Prince Estate, in partnership with Warner Records, will reissue 1999 via all physical, digital and streaming partners, with the timeless album remastered for the very first time, along with 35 previously unreleased tracks from Prince’s legendary vault that showcase the creative flow Prince had tapped into during this era.

The reissue suite will be comprised of the following formats: 

•    Super Deluxe Edition (5CD+DVD / 10LP+DVD / audio-only download and streaming)
•    Deluxe Edition (2CD / 4LP 180g vinyl / download and streaming)
•    Remastered album (1CD / 2LP 180g Purple Vinyl / download and streaming)

The 1999 Super Deluxe Edition represents the deepest dive to date into Prince’s vault and includes a total of 65 audio tracks across five CDs and ten 180g vinyl records. 

The Super Deluxe Edition brings fans all the audio material that Prince officially released in and around 1982, as well as 23 previously unissued studio tracks recorded between November 1981 and January 1983, and a complete live audio performance of the 1999 tour recorded at the late show (the second of two that day) in Detroit, MI on November 30, 1982.

In addition, both CD and vinyl sets also boast a brand-new DVD containing another complete, previously unreleased concert from the 1999 tour, recorded in multi-cam live at the Houston Summit on December 29, 1982. 
 
The Super Deluxe Edition set also features Prince’s previously unseen handwritten lyrics for several songs from the era, including the hit “Little Red Corvette,” plus images of the analog tape reels from the vault and rare photography from Prince’s early ‘80s photographer, Allen Beaulieu. The Super Deluxe Edition is completed with brand-new liner notes by longtime Rolling Stone critic David Fricke, revered Guns N’ Roses bassist and author Duff McKagan, Minneapolis historian and radio host Andrea Swensson, and Prince scholar Duane Tudahl. 

Fricke notes, “A landmark collection of vision, craft, and urgency – an unprecedented immersion in the frenetic momentum and private working world of Prince in 1981 and 1982, en route to the profound breakthrough of his fifth studio album, 1999.”

The 1999 Super Deluxe Edition shines a forensic light on the creative output of this truly unique musician, songwriter, producer, and performer at a pivotal point in his career and demonstrates why his unsurpassed body of work continues to generate so much love and passion around the world.

THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G.
 READY TO DIE 25th ANNIVERSARY EDITION 

Limited Edition, Individually Numbered Boxed Set Celebrates The Multi-Platinum Album With Colored 7-inch 45 Rpm Vinyl That Features Every Song From Ready to Die, Plus Two Bonus Tracks 

Available On GetOnDown.com In Partnership With Rhino On September 13 

LOS ANGELES – The Notorious B.I.G. helped reinvent and revitalize East Coast hip-hop 25 years ago with his 1994 debut, Ready to Die. Today, the album has been certified platinum six times and is regarded as not only one of the best hip-hop albums ever made, but also one of the best albums of all time. 

Rhino, in partnership with GetOnDown.com, honors this groundbreaking album with a new limited-edition boxed set that features every album track – plus two bonus tracks – on nine 7” colored-vinyl singles (black, white and red vinyl). READY TO DIE: 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION BOXED SET will be available for $79.98 on September 13, the anniversary date of the original release. 

Individually numbered and limited to 3,500 copies, the set is presented in a cigar-style box with metallic and gloss accents, and includes a booklet filled with liner notes by veteran hip hop journalist and author Kathy Iandoli, never-before-seen photos from the era, as well as exclusive stories by Easy Mo Bee and Chucky Thompson, who helped produce the album.

After earning acclaim for his guest appearances on other artists’ songs, Biggie (born Christopher Wallace) began recording his own album in New York City in 1993. Ready to Die was eventually completed in 1994 and released on Bad Boy Records, which was founded by the album’s executive producer, Sean “Puffy” Combs. 

Mainly an autobiographical album, Ready To Die showcases Biggie’s immaculate storytelling on 17 tracks that explore his life and experiences as a drug dealer. It takes listeners on a journey that spans from the character’s birth, to his time on the streets, and ultimately ends with his suicide. 

The album’s first single, “Juicy,” was certified gold and reached #3 on the Hot Rap Singles chart, crossing over to the Billboard Hot 100 chart to peak at #27. The second single, “Big Poppa,” was an even bigger hit, topping the Rap and R&B charts and reaching #6 on the Hot 100. Certified platinum, “Big Poppa” was also nominated for a Grammy® Award for Best Rap Solo Performance. A remix of “One More Chance” once again topped the Rap and R&B charts while peaking at #2 on the Hot 100. 

Sadly, this would be the only studio album released during Biggie’s lifetime. He was killed on March 9, 1997, just 16 days before the release of his second album – Life After Death.

DAVID BOWIE 

CONVERSATION PIECE

Digital And 5-CD Boxed Set To Be Released On November 15

Includes 12 Exclusive Tracks And Brand New Mix Of 

Space Oddity Album By Tony Visconti

Space Oddity (2019 Mix) Album Also Available On CD, 

Standard Digital, 96/24 Digital, And Vinyl, Including Randomized, Extremely Limited, Numbered Silver And Gold Colored Vinyl 

“Conversation Piece (2019 Mix)” Available Now As A Streaming Single

Parlophone Records is proud to announce DAVID BOWIE CONVERSATION PIECE, a five-CD boxed set and digital equivalent tracking Bowie’s early development throughout 1968 and 1969, via his home demos, BBC radio sessions, studio recordings with guitarist  John ‘Hutch’ Hutchinson, and the experimental music and mime group, Feathers to be released on November 15. The collection also celebrates the 50th anniversaries of the releases of the “Space Oddity” single and Bowie’s second album, David Bowie (aka Space Oddity).

DAVID BOWIE CONVERSATION PIECE contains 12 previously unreleased tracks/demos from the period as well as a brand new mix of the Space Oddity (aka David Bowie) album by long-time Bowie producer/collaborator Tony Visconti. 

The new mix of the album now features the title track of the boxed set, “Conversation Piece,” restored to the track listing in its initially intended position before it was originally dropped due to time constraints of the vinyl.

Of the 2019 Space Oddity album mix Visconti says, “It was so much fun to find hidden gems of musicianship with more time to mix the second time around, a guitar twiddle here, a trombone blast there, Marc Bolan’s voice in a group choir and more detail in general that we overlooked all those years ago when the label gave us a week at the most to mix this album. And in the details you will find 22 year old David Bowie, who would soon take the world by storm."

The 120-page hardback book accompanying the box features exclusive memorabilia from the personal collection of Bowie’s former manager, the late Ken Pitt, as well as from the David Bowie Archive® and includes photos by Ray Stevenson, Vernon Dewhurst, David Bebbington, Alec Byrne, and Jojanneke Claasen.

The sleeve notes have been written for the release by Bowie experts Mark Adams, Tris Penna, and Kevin Cann along with contributions from Bowie’s lifelong friend George Underwood, Vernon Dewhurst, and Dana Gillespie.

The 2019 mix of Space Oddity will also be released separately on CD, standard digital, 96/24 digital, and vinyl. The various vinyl configurations will be randomly distributed worldwide with a mixture of hand-numbered labels: numbers 1 to 1969 on silver vinyl numbers and 1970 to 2019 on gold vinyl, with the remainder being black vinyl.
