LOS ANGELES - During the Grateful Dead's legendary 30-year run, the band often visited its northern neighbors in Portland, Seattle, and less-than-often Vancouver. Even so, official live recordings from those cities are something of a rarity but that's all set to change soon when Dead.net releases PACIFIC NORTHWEST '73-'74: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS, a new 19-disc boxed set that features six previously unreleased shows that spotlight two of the band's tours through the region. This also marks the first Grateful Dead live archival boxed set to feature material across multiple years, aside from the 80-disc, career-spanning 30 Trips Around The Sun box.

The concerts in the set include: P.N.E. Coliseum, Vancouver, B.C. (6/22/73); Portland Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR (6/24/73); Seattle Center Arena, Seattle, WA (6/26/73); P.N.E. Coliseum, Vancouver, Canada (5/17/74); Portland Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR (5/19/74); and Hec Edmundson Pavilion, University of Washington, Seattle, WA (5/21/74). Each show was mastered in HDCD from the original master tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. The transfers from the masters were transferred and restored by Plangent Processes, further ensuring that this is the best, most authentic that these shows have ever sounded.

"This is a boxed set that's a long time coming. A couple of the shows have come very, very close to being released on their own through the Grateful Dead's archival release programs of the past 20 years, but we always held off in the hopes and expectations that they'd make a better boxed set," says David Lemieux, Grateful Dead archivist and the set's producer.  "The music at each and every one of these six shows is unique, special, inspired, and at times transcendent. The shows contain some of the most famous moments in Grateful Dead live history, including the 'Bird Song' from Vancouver '73, the Portland '74 'Truckin'' jam, and the 47-minute 'Playing In The Band' from Seattle '74. Each of these six shows has a distinct musical personality, and we're excited that you can get to know all of them in their entirety, sounding better than we've ever heard them."

The set is available now for pre-order and will be shipped to arrive on September 7. Production of the set is limited to 15,000 individually numbered copies and available exclusively from dead.net for $189.98. The set will also be available in its entirety as a digital download in Apple Lossless ($119.99) and FLAC 192/24 ($149.99) exclusively at dead.net beginning on September 7.

On the same day, Rhino will release a compilation that highlights some of the best performances from the boxed set. PACIFIC NORTHWEST '73-'74: BELIEVE IT IF YOU NEED IT will be available as a three-CD set ($24.98) and on digital download and streaming services.  The complete Portland Memorial Coliseum show from 5/19/74 will also be released on 180-gram vinyl as a limited edition (7,500 copies) six-LP set ($129.98).

PACIFIC NORTHWEST '73-'74: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS comes in an ornate box created by Canada's preeminent First Nations artist Roy Henry Vickers. To complement the music, the set also includes a 64-page book with an in-depth essay by Grateful Dead scholar Nicholas G. Meriwether and photos by Richie Pechner.

During the period when the shows were recorded, the Grateful Dead included: Jerry Garcia, Donna Jean Godchaux, Keith Godchaux, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh and Bob Weir. The recordings of the 1973 shows were made just a few months before the band released its sixth studio album, Wake of the Flood, which was its first without founding member Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, who died in March 1973, and the first on their new Grateful Dead Records label. Along with live staples like "Jack Straw," "Sugaree" and "Brown-Eyed Women," the band also previewed most of its forthcoming album, including "Eyes Of The World," "Row Jimmy," "Here Comes Sunshine," "Stella Blue," and "Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo."

The 1974 shows were recorded just a few weeks before the band released its seventh studio album, From The Mars Hotel. The band once again took the opportunity to preview songs from its upcoming album, with performances of "U.S. Blues," "China Doll" "Loose Lucy," "Money Money," and "Ship of Fools." Another song from the album - "Scarlet Begonias" - was played on its own, three years before it would be linked with "Fire On The Mountain" in 1977.

In addition to mixing newer and older songs at all six shows, the band also slipped in a few rarities along way, like Donna Jean's cover of Loretta Lynn's "You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)," the George Jones' classic "The Race Is On," and the blues standard "Nobody's Fault But Mine." The collection also features two performances of the entire "Weather Report Suite." Soon after these shows, the song's "Prelude" and "Part I" were dropped for good, leaving behind only the final third of the composition, "Let It Grow," which would continue to be part of the band's live shows until 1995.

For the first time in over 20 years, Nick Mason's solo albums, Nick Mason's Fictitious Sports, Profiles, and White Of The Eye will be available in both CD and vinyl boxed sets. Released on August 31 through Warner Music, these limited edition boxed sets will be available shortly before Mason tours Europe with his acclaimed new band Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets.

Nick Mason is one of the biggest selling artists of all time. A co-founding member of Pink Floyd, he is the only constant member of the group, performing on all of their albums as well as all of their live shows. In May of this year, Nick debuted his new band Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets with four intimate shows in London (Camden Dingwalls on May 20 and The Half Moon in Putney on May 21, 23 and 24) to an incredible reception.

UNATTENDED LUGGAGE is a further celebration of Nick Mason and his undeniably significant contribution to music. The set contains:

Nick Mason's Fictitious Sports - Mason's debut solo album which was originally released in 1981 and saw him collaborate with a variety of different musicians including Robert Wyatt and Carla Bley.

Profiles - A collaboration with 10cc guitarist Rick Fenn, it was Mason's second album outside of Pink Floyd and was released in 1985 as "Mason + Fenn." This is a mainly instrumental album except for tracks "Lie For A Lie," which features vocals from Maggie Reilly and former bandmate David Gilmour and "Israel," sung by UFO keyboardist Danny Peyronel.

White Of The Eye - A soundtrack for a British thriller movie of the same name, Mason once again collaborated with Fenn. Originally released in 1987, in conjunction with the film's release, this is the first time the record has been made available for over 20 years, and the first time it will appear on CD.

Mason says, "These recordings hold a very special place for me in my musical life. 'Fictitious Sports' developed initially from working with Mike Mantler, Carla Bley, and Robert Wyatt on a couple of their projects, and benefited enormously from a whole crew of great musicians that I was introduced to by them at Grog Kill Studios in Woodstock."

"'Profiles' and 'White Of The Eye' were an extension of working with Rick Fenn on some advertising and short documentary film soundtracks, which then developed into something more."

"Listening back after 30 odd years, I'm delighted they are getting the reissue treatment. I'm rather hoping that sales will be sufficient to damage the market in the original rare vinyl versions!"

UNATTENDED LUGGAGE will be available in both 3-CD and 3-LP boxed sets. Pre-orders are available from https://lnk.to/NickMasonULMP.

The individual albums Nick Mason's Fictitious Sports, Profiles, and White Of The Eye will all be available as a download and through streaming platforms.

Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets will be touring through Europe in September. Tickets are on sale now from www.thesaucerfulofsecrets.com.

Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets reviews from May 20, 2018:

"...this was the most extraordinary and joyous show, a reminder of what a peculiar and brilliant band Pink Floyd were... If you have the slightest interest in Pink Floyd, do not miss this group when they return to larger venues later this year. You won't even need acid to blow your mind."
5 Stars - Michael Hann, Financial Times 

"The sound was immense, electrifying, galvanising, mesmerising and still deeply strange, bending the formats of primal rock into all kind of weird and wonderful shapes. From the warped garage rock opening of Interstellar Overdrive, Astronomy Dominie and Lucifer Sam to the closing proto-shoegaze blitz of One of These Days and bent musical hall wackiness of Point Me at the Sky, it was a set of such startling intensity it seemed to mock the very notion of nostalgia. It was enough to make you wonder whether rock has progressed very far at all since the Sixties."
4 Stars - Neil McCormick, The Daily Telegraph

LPs Will Be Released In Two Waves Beginning On July 27


LOS ANGELES - The Flaming Lips are on a roll in 2018. Oklahoma's famous freaks, celebrated Record Store Day with their sold out, beer-filled (& colored vinyl) 7" single, "The Story of YUM YUM AND DRAGON", and were recently nominated for a Tony Award for the band's contribution to SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical . The announcement came after Rhino and Warner Bros. Records launched an ambitious reissue program, starting with material the band recorded for Restless Records between 1986-1990 before signing with Warner Bros. in 1991, and including a multi-disc best of from the WBR era.

The campaign lifted off in April with Scratching The Door: The First Recordings Of The Flaming Lips, a single-disc compilation of music recorded by the band's original lineup. This is followed by Seeing The Unseeable: The Complete Studio Recordings Of The Flaming Lips 1986-1990, a six-CD boxed set that includes their four Restless studio albums, plus two discs of rarities, that is out June 29.

The reissues continue with releases of those Restless-era studio albums on vinyl, as well as a double-LP of rarities. All of the music on vinyl has been remastered from original sources by the band's longtime musical foil and producer, David Fridmann, with help from the Lips' Wayne Coyne and Michael Ivins, with lacquers cut at Sterling Sound. Additionally, the studio albums - which have been out of print for years - have been restored to their original cover art.

The music will arrive on vinyl in two waves, beginning on July 27 with HEAR IT IS, OH MY GAWD!!!...THE FLAMING LIPS, and TELEPATHIC SURGERY for $21.98 each. They'll be followed on September 14 by IN A PRIEST DRIVEN AMBULANCE (WITH SILVER SUNSHINE STARES) ($21.98), and the double-LP rarities collection, DEATH TRIPPIN' AT SUNRISE ($31.98).

The Flaming Lips released four studio albums between 1984 and 1990: Hear It Is (1986), Oh My Gawd!!!...The Flaming Lips (1987), Telepathic Surgery (1989) and In A Priest Driven Ambulance (With Silver Sunshine Stares) (1990). Highlights from those albums include: "Godzilla Flick," "Unconsciously Screaming," "One Million Billionth Of A Millisecond On A Sunday Morning" and their cover of the classic "(What A) Wonderful World."

The rarities collection Death Trippin' At Sunrise: Rarities, B-Sides & Flexi-discs is packed with music originally released on singles, flexis, and various compilations, and includes their Sub Pop single "Drug Machine In Heaven" b/w "Strychnine/Peace, Love And Understanding" and a cover of "After The Gold Rush" from a 1989 Neil Young tribute album. A number of tracks on the rarities compilation are making their first appearance on vinyl.

On June 1, Warner Brothers Records released Greatest Hits Vol. 1 , the three-time Grammy® Award-winning band's first official "hits" collection, with eleven WBR-era singles and album cuts on a single LP pressing, along with expansive deluxe digital and 3-CD editions, numbering 52 tracks and gathering some of The Flaming Lips' best-loved material from all their Warner albums, along with a bonus disc with b-sides, studio outtakes and unreleased songs.

(Minneapolis, MN - June 7, 2018) Today the Prince Estate, in partnership with Warner Bros. Records, announced the release of the Piano & A Microphone 1983 album on what would have been Prince's 60th birthday. The nine track, 35-minute album features a previously unreleased home studio cassette recording of Prince at his piano captured in 1983. The album is available now to pre-order on CD, LP, Deluxe CD+LP, digital release and pre-save for streaming.

"This raw, intimate recording, which took place at the start of Prince's career right before he achieved international stardom, is similar in format to the Piano & A Microphone Tour that he ended his career with in 2016," said Prince Estate entertainment adviser Troy Carter. "The Estate is excited to be able to give fans a glimpse of his evolution and show how his career ultimately came full circle with just him and his piano."  

The private rehearsal provides a rare, intimate glimpse into Prince's creative process as he worked through songs which include "17 Days" and "Purple Rain" (neither of which would be released until 1984), a cover of Joni Mitchell's "A Case Of You", "Strange Relationship" (not released until 1987 on his critically acclaimed Sign O' The Times album), and "International Lover". The album also includes a rare recording of the 19th Century spiritual "Mary Don't You Weep" which will be featured during the end credits of Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman in theaters August 2018. For fans of Prince's spontaneous live medleys, tracks 1-7 of the album are presented in that same format as they were originally recorded.

Track listing and credits:
1.    17 Days
2.    Purple Rain
3.    A Case Of You
4.    Mary Don't You Weep
5.    Strange Relationship
6.    International Lover

Allen's work with Prince includes the cover shots for the Dirty Mind and Controversy albums and iconic promotional photos for the 1999 album.

The Deluxe CD+LP format will include a 12" booklet featuring brand new liner notes written by Prince's then engineer Don Batts, as well as candid shots of Prince including never before seen images.

BRIDES OF LUCIFER

Brides of Lucifer's Stunning Self-Titled Debut Album Reworks And Pays Tribute To Classic Metal And Hard Rock 

Available June 29 From Rhino

LOS ANGELES - Brides Of Lucifer deliver a stunningly original tribute to classic head-banging and deliver a uniquely original heavy metal experience with cover songs by Pantera, Dio, Sepultura and more.

The idea for the album was born two years ago when pianist/composer Steven Kolacny - of the 'dark choir' Scala & Kolacny Brothers - shared his dream of having female singers explore the worlds of hard rock and heavy metal with his longtime friends, guitarist Koen Buyse of the award winning rock act Zornik and keyboardist Ives Mergaerts. Soon after, the trio began working on how to make their shared metal dream come true.

The group's self-titled debut, BRIDES OF LUCIFER will be available on June 29 digitally and via streaming services.

Their objective was as simple as it was ingenious: create a unique and original form of metal by combining parts of a female choir with the brutal force of guitar riffs and drums. "There is no bigger contrast than divine girl voices and hard-rock guitars," Kolacny says.

The Brides of Lucifer made its live debut last year at Graspop, Belgium's biggest metal and hard rock festival. Featured as one of the headliners, the group's 13 female singers - dressed in custom-made costumes - took the stage along with a talented band of musicians for an astonishing performance that earned glowing reviews.

It wasn't long before fans were clamoring for a studio album. That wish is about to come true with the arrival of BRIDES OF LUCIFER. The album's 13 tracks include unforgettable covers of classics like Pantera's "Walk," Dio's "Holy Diver," Twisted Sister's "Burn In Hell" and Slayer's "South Of Heaven." In addition to the covers, the album also features two original compositions - "Futility" and "White Moon" - that were written by Scala & Kolacny Brothers.

Before launching Brides of Lucifer, Steven Kolacny together with his brother Stijn earned acclaim as Scala & Kolacny Brothers, a group hailed by NPR as "rock's heavenly choir." The group's music has been featured in trailers for Zero Dark Thirty and The Possession and on a diverse array of television shows including Downton Abbey, The Simpsons, Homeland, and Nikita. The group also contributed a cover of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to the acclaimed documentary Kurt Cobain: Montage Of Heck.


BRIDES OF LUCIFER
Track Listing:

1.      "Burn in Hell" (Twisted Sister)
2.      "Walk" (Pantera)
3.      "Warriors of the World" (Manowar)
4.      "Chop Suey!" (System of a Down)
5.      "Painkiller" (Judas Priest)
6.      "Fear of the Dark" - featuring Scala & Kolacny Brothers (Iron Maiden)
7.      "Roots Bloody Roots" (Sepultura)
8.      "O Father O Satan O Sun!" (Behemoth)
9.      "Holy Diver" (Dio)
10.    "South of Heaven" (Slayer)
11.    "Futility" (Scala & Kolacny Brothers)
12.    "Halo" (Machinehead)
13.    "White Moon" (Scala & Kolacny Brothers)
