MONOCHROME Recordings Takes Vinyl Exclusivity to New Extremes
Nick of Time Flawlessly Reissued By Capitol Records
Back in 1949 Guy Lombardo and then Doris Day had hits with a song called “Enjoy Yourself (it’s later than you think)”. The chipper tune composed by Carl Sigman with lyrics by Herb Magidson advised down in the dumpers to get busy enjoying themselves:
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as a wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as a wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think

Still Belafonte At Carnegie Hall After All These Years?
First released in "Living Stereo" way back in 1959, Belafonte at Carnegie Hall continues to captivate listeners, both audiophile and non. The question that needs asking is: Were this not such an astonishing recording, would it still hold interest?.
Listening yet again to yet another vinyl reissue of this 55 year old recording and performance I have to conclude "yes", but the "you are (still) there" recording doesn't hurt!

TRON Soundtrack Released on Double 180g Vinyl
Yes, it's a horrendous conflict of interest, I suppose, for me to be reviewing this double LP TRON soundtrack reissue since I originally supervised it, back in 1982, but I was there, so who better qualified to do it?
I watched for the first time the other day "TRON Legacy" the sequel issued in 2010. I watched it at home in 3D and of course the visuals were astonishing. They were, I'm sure, what director Steve Lisberger saw in his head that back then simply could not be brought to the screen.

Polish Progressive Rock Band INDUKTI's Debut Gets Double 180 Vinyl Release
Not being heavily steeped in progressive rock, I can't say in what esteem the Polish group INDUKTI is held but thanks to the persistence of one young man, Robert Guilarte-Mantellini and his Sunspot Record label (not to be confused by the Washington, D.C. Reggae label of the same name that shuttered in 1994), the band's debut album S.U.S.A.R. ((Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions) has gotten a double 180g vinyl release.
