Rhino Handmade Running Poll Now To Put One Sold-Out Handmade Title
Back In Print Later This Year For Limited Run
LOS ANGELES – Rhino Handmade kicks off plans for a steady stream of new titles in 2010 beginning with the six-CD Wilson Pickett collection, FUNKY MIDNIGHT MOVER – THE ATLANTIC STUDIO RECORDINGS (1962-1978). This collection – the first comprehensive compilation of Pickett’s Atlantic material – includes all his originally issued recordings for the label, as well as early pre-Atlantic sides, his 1978 album for the Atlantic-distributed Big Tree imprint, and a full CD of rare or previously unreleased recordings. The set is presented in an elaborate 92-page, linen-wrapped book with many rare and unseen photos. This Rhino Handmade exclusive release is available for pre-order now at www.rhinohandmade.com for a $99.98 and will ship in late January.
The comprehensive set’s 154 tracks encompass all 35 of the singer’s R&B smashes – including five #1 hits – from “In The Midnight Hour,” his first hit for Atlantic Records, to 1973’s “International Playboy,” his last chart entry for the label. The earliest unreleased track on this set, an undubbed alternate of “Hello Sunshine,” dates from the 1967 American sessions for the album I’m In Love and prominently features Bobby Womack’s lead guitar. The collection concludes with “Superstar,” a full-blown disco track from 1978 unearthed in the vaults during research for this set. The set also features comprehensive liner notes, including intros by Jerry Wexler and Steve Cropper, an essay by Chris Morris, and an extensive track-by-track by Bill Dahl.
Rhino Handmade has received thousands of requests through the years to bring back out-of-print titles from the catalog and we are giving the fans what they have asked for in 2010. A month-long poll is being conducted now at www.rhinohandmade.com where fans can vote to bring back one of 9 sold-out Handmade titles. The out-of-print release that receives the most votes will be reissued later this year as a limited edition.
The candidates are:
Beau Brummels – Magic Hollow
Butterfield Blues Band – Live
Aretha Franklin & King Curtis – Live At The Fillmore West
Buddy Guy & Junior Wells – Play The Blues
The Monkees – Headquarters Sessions
The Stooges – Complete Funhouse Sessions
Television – Live At The Old Waldorf
Allen Toussaint – Complete Warner Bros. Recordings
