The Tubes
Outside Inside
1983's Outside Inside was The Tubes' second collaboration
with producer David Foster, following 1981's breakthrough
The Completion Backward Principle. The album came screaming
out of the gate with "She's A Beauty," the biggest hit the
band would ever have. The single went Top 10 and was a #1
rock record, as well as an MTV hit. The funky follow-up
single "Tip Of My Tongue" also enjoyed chart success and the
album featured those excellent album tracks that we had come
to expect from The Tubes, several of which remain in their
current set list to this day.
This expanded edition of the album includes all new
mastering and a new essay with fresh interviews with the
band members. The release is expanded with four bonus tracks
including single B-sides, single versions and the ultra rare
Tubes version of "Satellite." [more

The Guess Who
#10
#10, originally released in 1973, represented The Guess
Who's 10th album with lead singer/pianist Burton Cummings at
the helm. Appropriately, #10 was more focused on Cummings'
voice and songs than the Guess Who albums that immediately
preceded it. While this caused some dissention in the band,
the music by no means suffered. #10 is among The Guess Who's
more underrated albums, but includes a typically strong and
diverse set of songs, touching on country-rock ("Lie Down,"
a revisit of Bachman-Cummings' "Miss Frizzy"), prog ("Musicione")
and incisive, orchestrated balladry (the hit single "Glamour
Boy," presented here in both its original version and in a
stripped-down, non-orchestrated mix as a bonus track).

The Guess Who
Road Food
Artistically, The Guess Who had successfully reinvented
themselves as an album oriented band with the records
recorded after Randy Bachman's 1970 departure. But
commercially, The Guess Who was in decline by 1974. Simply
put, the band needed a hit. Road Food provided two: the
rollicking "Star Baby" earned the band its first U.S. Top 40
hit since "Rain Dance," while the celebratory "Clap For
The Wolfman" (featuring DJ Wolfman Jack) brought The Guess
Who all the way into the Top 10. Elsewhere, Road Food
presented typically eclectic fare, with bassist Bill Wallace
in particular making a strong showing with the title track
and "Straighten Out." [more

Grand Funk Railroad
Mark, Don & Mel 1960-71
Following the enormous success of the first six Grand Funk
Railroad albums Capitol Records decided that it was time for
a summary of the first stage of the band's career and a
two-LP best of was assembled. The next studio album,
Phoenix, would feature keyboardist Craig Frost, who would
eventually become the fourth member of the band so Mark, Don
& Mel 1969-1971 is comprised of the power trio era hits.
This release marks the first worldwide legitimate appearance
on compact disc and features a new mastering done especially
for this release by Grammy®
Award winning engineer, Vic Anesini. [more
