THE DOORS SHAKE THE BIG APPLE TO ITS CORE

Live In New York Documents The Doors’ Final Four New York Concerts with Jim Morrison In Their Entirety with Six-Disc Collection

Boxed Set Due November 17 From Rhino and Bright Midnight Archives

180-Gram Vinyl Pressings of All the Band’s Studio Albums Available September 15

LOS ANGELES – Rhino and Bright Midnight Archives unleash four inspired performances from The Doors’ final tour with LIVE IN NEW YORK. The latest addition to the band’s acclaimed series of archival concert releases, this six-disc collection contains all four of The Doors’ performances – in their entirety – recorded in 1970 at the Felt Forum in New York City. The collection will be available November 17 at all retail outlets, including www.thedoors.com and www.rhino.com, for suggested list price of $89.98 for the physical boxed set. A digital version featuring select highlights from all four Felt Forum shows will also be available at all digital retail outlets for $9.99. An exclusive stream of “Break On Through (To The Other Side)” from the second show on January 17, 1970 will premiere at spinner.com beginning this Thursday, August 27.

Recorded January 17 and 18, 1970 – just a few weeks before the release of Morrison Hotel – these concerts find Jim Morrison, John Densmore, Robby Krieger, and Ray Manzarek locked in tight as they deliver smoking takes on soon-to-be-classics from their forthcoming album, including “Roadhouse Blues,” “Peace Frog,” “Ship Of Fools,” and “Maggie M’Gill.” The shows also feature a number of driving blues covers, such as Bo Diddley’s “Who Do You Love,” Howlin’ Wolf’s “Little Red Rooster,” and John Lee Hooker’s “Crawling King Snake.” “Those were the bluesy songs we always used to do,” Krieger says. “We probably hadn’t done them in years, but we resurrected them for these shows.”

The year prior to these shows, The Doors became one of the first rock bands to play New York City’s Madison Square Garden. When they returned in 1970, Densmore says they chose to play the Felt Forum, a smaller venue at the Garden. “It was more intimate, and you could feel the audience more,” he says. “There was more interaction, and the acoustics were much better, because it was designed for music.”

Manzarek hails these shows as a return to the group’s early days, when they used to play a small Los Angeles club called the London Fog. “I mean, talk about going back to basics. We used to do four sets a night at the London Fog, and we only had a small block of songs written up to that time. So we would do other people’s material. And in New York, it was like the same thing. We’ve got four shows to play here, two sets tonight, two sets tomorrow night. Let’s play whatever we want! Let’s just go!”

And go they did. Along with a mix of then-unheard new songs and old covers, the band also tapped into its 1967, self-titled debut, peppering the set lists with signature songs such as “Break On Through (To The Other Side),” “Soul Kitchen,” “The End,” and “Light My Fire,” The Doors’ first #1 hit.

For the final show of the Felt Forum stand, the band was joined onstage by two guests – The Lovin’ Spoonful’s John Sebastian (who played harmonica on the studio version of “Roadhouse Blues”) and drummer Dallas Taylor, who’d played on Crosby, Stills & Nash’s debut. Sebastian sat in for “Rock Me” and was joined by Taylor for “Going To N.Y. Blues” and “Maggie M’Gill.”

Fans will be blown away by the crisp sound found on LIVE IN NEW YORK. All four shows were mixed and mastered by the band’s longtime engineer, Bruce Botnick, who recorded a number of shows from The Doors’ 1970 tour on multi-track tape for the Absolutely Live album. While most of the music contained on LIVE IN NEW YORK is unreleased, a few songs (and portions of songs) surfaced in 1970 on Absolutely Live and in 1997 on The Doors Box Set.

Sadly, these shows represent The Doors’ final New York City performances with Morrison, who passed away July 3, 1971.

Prior to the release of LIVE IN NEW YORK, Rhino will release 180-gram vinyl versions of all six Doors studio albums on September 15. Previously available only in 2007’s The Doors Vinyl Box, original stereo mixes of The Doors, Strange Days, Waiting For The Sun, The Soft Parade, Morrison Hotel, and L.A. Woman will now be available individually at all vinyl retail outlets for a suggested list price of $24.98 each.

A CHRISTMAS STORY SOUNDTRACK DEBUTS

Rhino Presents A Collection Of Previously Unreleased Music
Composed And Arranged For The Classic Holiday Comedy

Available November 10 From Rhino

LOS ANGELES – Released in 1983 by MGM, A Christmas Story became a true holiday classic thanks to its impeccable comedic performances, triple-dog dares, and countless cable marathons. One aspect often overlooked is the music composed for the film by Carl Zittrer and Paul Zaza. Their musical contributions, unreleased until now, capture the film’s nostalgic charm and transport viewers to an age of innocence. A CHRISTMAS STORY: MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE will be available November 10 from Rhino at all retail outlets, including www.rhino.com, for a suggested list price of $18.98 (physical) and $11.99 (digital).

Zittrer and Zaza first began working with director Bob Clark in 1979, earning a Genie Award for their score to Clark’s Murder By Decree. A few years later, they joined up with Clark again for A Christmas Story. During the sessions, Zittrer says the music fell into place quickly. “Oftentimes scoring a film means trying out lots of music to see if it fits. By an incredible coincidence, the test pieces we selected were natural fits. For instance, we used themes from Peter And The Wolf in several scenes featuring the bully. It instantly conveys the bully’s villainy, but it also works on a deeper level because the young boys in the film most certainly would have known this music and understood its menacing connotation.”

Also featured prominently in the film is Zittrer and Zaza’s arrangement of “Grand Canyon Suite,” which can be heard playing during a fantasy sequence where young Ralphie Parker repels an attack on his backyard by Black Bart and his cronies. “It is the quintessential Western music,” Zittrer says. “All you need to hear are those first two notes and you’re on a dusty trail somewhere.”

A Christmas Story is based on several short stories written by Jean Shepherd, who is also the film’s narrator. Set during the ’40s, it is the story of nine-year-old Ralphie Parker’s (Peter Billingsley) Christmas quest for an official Red Ryder BB gun. While not an instant hit during its 1983 theatrical run, the film has become one of the most beloved holiday films of all time and a pop culture icon. With an annual 24-hour marathon on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day on TBS (and previously TNT), a museum at the house where the movie was filmed in Cleveland, and a yearly fan convention, the legend of A Christmas Story continues to grow.

CHRIS BELL’S COSMOS EXPANDS

Rhino Handmade’s Two-Disc Deluxe Edition Combines Remastered Version Of
Bell’s Acclaimed Solo Album With Rare And Unreleased Recordings

Available Exclusively From Rhino Handmade September 28

First 1,000 Orders Receive Special 7” Single

LOS ANGELES – Chris Bell was an immensely gifted songwriter, musician, vocalist and producer who struggled throughout his short life to have his songs heard. Sadly, the Memphis-born artist did not live long enough to see the enormous impact his music–both with Big Star and as a solo artist– would have on future generations. Bell’s influential legacy grows thanks to a pair of releases: Rhino Handmade’s September 28 release of C, and Rhino Records’ September 15 release of Keep An Eye On The Sky, the definitive Big Star anthology. Available exclusively at www.rhinohandmade.com for a suggested list price of $39.98, the two-disc deluxe edition of I AM THE COSMOS contains more than a dozen unreleased recordings. As a special bonus, the first 1,000 orders will receive a free 7” single of “I Am The Cosmos” b/w “You And Your Sister.”

I AM THE COSMOS–DELUXE EDITION contains a remastered version of the original 1992 Ryko compilation on one disc, plus a second disc of rare and unreleased music recorded between 1970 and 1976. On the second disc, all but two of the 15 tracks are previously unreleased. Among the wealth of unissued recordings are eight alternate versions and mixes of album tracks, including “You And Your Sister” with Mellotron in place of the original’s string arrangement, and a later version of “Get Away” featuring Big Star’s Alex Chilton on guitar, Ken Woodley on bass, and Richard Rosebrough on drums.

Revisiting the original 1992 release of I Am The Cosmos, Rhino Handmade’s deluxe edition includes the previously released acoustic version of “You And Your Sister.” The original also featured a “Slow Version” of the title track, which is heard in its entirety for the first time on this double-disc set.

The collection also gathers up a number of unreleased songs Bell recorded that did not appear on I Am The Cosmos, including two songs by Icewater (a precursor to Big Star); collaborations with Memphis songwriter Keith Sykes (“Stay With Me”) and singer Nancy Bryan (“In My Darkest Hour”); and “Clacton Rag,” an instrumental recorded in 1976 that features Bell solo on guitar.

The beginnings of I AM THE COSMOS can be traced back to 1972, when Bell left Big Star, the seminal power-pop band he cofounded. After helping Big Star write and record a few songs for Radio City, the band’s follow-up, Bell left for France in 1974. While there, he recorded several demos at Hérouville Studios for a planned solo album. Following the sessions, Bell and his brother David took the tracks to the London studio owned by The Beatles’ producer George Martin, where they mixed the songs with Geoff Emerick, who engineered several of The Beatles’ albums.

The songs were shelved and Bell returned home to Memphis, where he recorded more songs with a revolving cast of Memphis musicians. In 1978, Car Records released a single featuring Bell’s “I Am The Cosmos” b/w “You And Your Sister.” Encouraged by the positive reaction to single, Bell was planning a return to music when he was killed in a car accident in 1978, two days after Christmas. His music remained unreleased until 1992, when several of his demos were released posthumously as I Am The Cosmos.

BODEANS “ULTIMATELY FINE” DEBUT

Rhino Presents The Collector’s Edition of Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams that Includes a Remastered Version of the Original on CD Expanded with Unreleased Demos, A DVD Featuring an Unreleased 1985 Concert, Plus The Newly Recorded Track, “Janey”

Available from Rhino March 10

LOS ANGELES – As teens, Kurt Neumann and Sammy Llanas formed the BoDeans in 1983 in Waukesha, Wisconsin. They crafted heartfelt rock that intertwined personal lyrics with seamless harmonies and ringing guitars. The fresh and exciting sound of the band’s 1986 debut earned critical accolades along with a devoted following that voted BoDeans the Best New American Band in the 1987 Rolling Stone readers’ poll.

Rhino presents the Collector’s Edition of the BoDeans first album, which includes a remastered and expanded version of the original Slash/Warner Bros. release on CD and an unreleased 1985 performance filmed in Minneapolis on DVD. COLLECTOR’S EDITION: LOVE & HOPE & SEX & DREAMS will be available March 10 from Rhino Records at all retail outlets, including www.rhino.com, for a suggested list price of $24.98.

The unforgettable opening notes of the BoDeans’ “She’s A Runaway”—the album’s lead track— heralded a singular sound that was true to its own style and the unique sound of the group. Rock journalist Dave Marsh writes in the liner notes: “Such music speaks to those who seek it and waylays those who stumble across it. Whether its audience is measured in millions or thousands, it’s the only kind of rock ‘n’ roll (or most anything else in the cultural arena) that counts.”

Producer T-Bone Burnett, who recently produced the critically acclaimed Alison Krauss and Robert Plant album Raising Sand as well as the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack released in 2000, recorded the album in Los Angeles, capturing the beauty of Neumann and Llanas’ contrasting voices as they sang a batch of songs sophisticated enough to know when to tell a story or when to just speak to the moment.

The original, 11-song album contains essential tracks such as “Still The Night,” “Angels” and “Fadeaway.” Among the six bonus tracks included on the Collector’s Edition are “Try And Try” (“Fadeaway” b-side) and “Janey,” a song recorded in 2008 available here for the first time. For the set, Rhino also unearths four unreleased demos—including “Amen” and “Small Town Ways”—that Neumann and Llanas recorded in college, where they reportedly enrolled solely to gain access to the school’s four-track recorder.

The DVD captures the BoDeans’ July 15, 1985, performance at the legendary Minneapolis nightclub First Avenue. During the hour-long show, the band played 17 songs, previewing several tracks that would appear on the group’s debut almost a year later, including “She’s A Runaway,” “Rickshaw Riding,” “Misery,” and “The Strangest Kind.” The concert also featured an early-version of “Janey,” a song that Neumann and Llanas recorded recently for the first time especially for this Collector’s Edition.

BIG STAR SHINES

Rhino Salutes The Revered Group With A Four-Disc Boxed Set That Compiles Key Album Tracks With Unreleased Demos, Alternate Takes And Live Performances

Available From Rhino September 15

LOS ANGELES – Big Star inspired a fevered allegiance among fans of power pop, giving rise to a cult of believers who spent decades spreading the gospel. Their enthusiasm turned this obscure Memphis pop band–one that got little airplay, sold few records, and only played a handful of times– into a remarkable rock and roll resurrection story. Big Star’s trek from obscure Memphis band to standard bearers for an entire genre of music has never been fully mapped–until now. Rhino presents the definitive look at the definitive power-pop band with a four-disc boxed set divided between key cuts from Big Star’s three studio albums and unreleased music. KEEP AN EYE ON THE SKY will be available September 15 from Rhino Records at all retail outlets, including www.rhino.com, for a suggested list price of $69.98 (physical), it will also be available as a digital release the same day. A Deluxe Edition release of Chris Bell’s solo album I Am The Cosmos is due September 14 from Rhino Handmade. A free stream of the unreleased song "Lovely Day" is available now at www.rhino.com/bigstar.

KEEP AN EYE ON THE SKY spans 1968 to 1975 and shows the progression of Big Star through selections from such studio precursors as Rock City and Icewater; music from Big Star’s acclaimed recordings (#1 Record, Radio City, and Third/Sister Lovers); and relevant solo work by group principals Alex Chilton and Chris Bell, who formed Big Star in 1971 with bassist Andy Hummel and drummer Jody Stephens. The collection also uncovers a trove of unreleased demos, unused mixes, alternate versions of songs, and a 1973 concert recorded in Memphis.

In these 98 tracks you can hear what turned artists as diverse as Cheap Trick, R.E.M., and The Replacements into Big Star fans. Spotlighting the band’s roots, the boxed set opens with several songs recorded before Big Star formed, including “Try Again,” one of the first songs Bell and Chilton wrote together. Those early cuts are followed by Big Star’s 1972 debut #1 Record, reimagined here using a mix of album tracks and unreleased alternate mixes of favorites like “Thirteen,” “When My Baby’s Beside Me,” and more. Among the disc’s rarities are “Gone With The Light” (issued as a flexi-disc single by a Big Star fanzine), the demo for “I Got Kinda Lost,” and an unreleased acoustic demo of Chilton singing Loudon Wainwright’s “Motel Blues.”

Ardent Records, the band’s label, experienced problems with distribution that hindered any chances at success for #1 Record. Its failure was a major blow to Bell, who quit the band to go solo. In 1974, the Alex Chilton-led Big Star regrouped and released Radio City, an album more attuned to the band’s live energy that featured the power-pop confections “September Gurls” and “Back Of A Car.” The second disc of KEEP AN EYE ON THE SKY opens with a trio of unreleased demos: “There Was A Light,” “Life Is White,” and “What’s Going Ahn.” The original song sequence for Radio City follows, combining album versions with unreleased alternate mixes (“Mod Lang” and “Back Of A Car.”) The disc features unissued versions of “She A Mover” and “O My Soul,” several unreleased demos for Big Star’s third album, plus Bell’s acclaimed 1978 single “I Am The Cosmos” and its B-side “You And Your Sister.” Sadly, Bell died in a car accident a few months after the single’s release.

When Big Star reconvened in 1975 to record Third/Sister Lovers, only Chilton and Stephens remained (Hummel left shortly before Radio City’s release). Famed Memphis maverick Jim Dickinson was enlisted to supervise the recording, which languished on the shelf for years before its release in 1978. Despite its bleak timbre, wild dynamics, and fragility, the music possesses a startling grace. KEEP AN EYE ON THE SKY’s third disc opens with seven demos (most previously unreleased) for songs that appear on Third/Sister Lovers, including “Jesus Christ,” “Manana,” and “Holocaust.” Among the album’s 19 songs collected here is “For You,” “Kizza Me,” and “Kanga Roo.” Also featured is “Lovely Day,” an early, unreleased version of “Stroke It Noel” with different lyrics; Chilton vamping with photographer Bill Eggleston at the piano for Nat King Cole’s “Nature Boy”; and a raucous cover of The Kinks’ “Till The End Of The Day.”

The collection’s final disc contains unreleased highlights from three sets Big Star performed at Lafayette’s Music Room in Memphis in January 1973. It is the best live recording ever of the band. The show captures Chilton, Hummel, and Stephens playing many of the songs on #1 Record, which had just recently been released. The set list includes a retooled version of “ST 100/6” lengthened by both guitar and drum solos (with a middle eight heisted from the Rock City song “The Preacher.”) Also in the repertoire are “There Was A Light” and “I Got Kinda Lost.” In addition, the concert includes fully formed versions of several songs recorded later for Radio City: “Back Of A Car,” “Way Out West,” “O My Soul,” and a particularly rocking “She’s A Mover.” Those originals are mixed with a selection of covers: Todd Rundgren’s “Slut,” T. Rex’s “Baby Strange,” The Kinks’ “Come On Now,” and The Flying Burrito Brothers’ “Hot Burrito #2.”

The lavish packaging for KEEP AN EYE ON THE SKY includes extensive liner notes, rare and never-before-seen photos, and insightful essays about the cult of Big Star and the band’s history. In the notes, Stephens reflects on the band’s belated triumph. “Sure, it would’ve been nice to have been huge at the time. But, here we are, 30 years later, and Big Star is still playing, our music is turning up in movie soundtracks, and young people are still excited to discover the records. I mean, if that isn’t success, I don’t know what is.” On July 1, 2009 Big Star will perform at the Serpentine Sessions in London’s Hyde Park.

BAD COMPANY MAKES DIGITAL DEBUT

The Band’s First Six Studio Albums, Plus Hits Collection 10 From 6,
Available Digitally for the First Time

Surviving Members of Original Lineup Launch 10-Date U.S. Tour on June 17

Available Exclusively on iTunes on June 16,
All Other DSPs on June 30

LOS ANGELES — The surviving members of the original Bad Company lineup — singer Paul Rodgers, guitarist Mick Ralphs, and drummer Simon Kirke — will reunite this summer for a 10-date U.S. tour that begins June 17 in Hollywood, FL at Hard Rock Live. A day before the tour kicks off, Rhino will celebrate the band’s return with the digital debut of Bad Company’s six Swan Song albums, and its multiplatinum hits collection 10 From 6.

On June 16, Rhino will digitally release Straight Shooter, Run With The Pack, Burnin’ Sky, Desolation Angels, Rough Diamonds, and 10 From 6 exclusively on iTunes for $9.99 each, with the band’s eponymous debut available for $7.99. The albums will be released to all other digital service providers two weeks later on June 30.

Bad Company’s multiplatinum hits such as “Can’t Get Enough,” “Feel Like Makin’ Love,” “Shooting Star,” “Movin’ On,” “Ready For Love,” and “Rock & Roll Fantasy” propelled them to the forefront of the ’70s arena rock movement. To coincide with the new tour and digital catalog releases, mastertones, ringback tones and sms tones for all six of the aforementioned tracks are available now for the first time from all mobile carriers.

The original quartet – bassist Boz Burrell died in 2006 — debuted in 1974 as the first band signed to Led Zeppelin’s Swan Song label. Their first album topped the charts and was certified platinum five times thanks to the hits “Movin’ On,” “Can't Get Enough,” “Bad Company,” and “Ready For Love” The band returned the following year with Straight Shooter, a triple-platinum album that peaked at #3 and featured the hits “Feel Like Makin’ Love” and “Good Lovin’ Gone Bad.”

Bad Company notched its third consecutive platinum album in 1976 with Run With The Pack, a Top 5 album that featured the hits “Simple Man” and “Young Blood.” The group hit #3 on the charts in 1977 with its follow-up, Burnin’ Sky. The band returned two years later with the double platinum Desolation Angels and in 1982 with its final Swan Song release, Rough Diamonds. In 1985, Bad Company released its double-platinum hits collection 10 From 6, the title a sly reference to the collection’s 10 songs from six albums. The band will release a new live DVD featuring the original lineup, Hard Rock Live, later this year.
