Henry A. Giroux, Truthout:

Poised now to take over either one or two houses of Congress,
the exorbitantly rich along with their conservative ideologues wax nostalgically
for a chance to once again emulate that period in 19th century American history
when corporations ruled political, economic and social life, and an allegedly rugged entrepreneurial spirit prevailed unchecked by the power of government
regulations. Wild West, casino capitalism, unhampered by either ethical
considerations or social costs, has reinvented itself and become the politics
of choice in this election year."

QUOTES FOR THE WEEK:

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."
~ Hunter S. Thompson (1937-2005)

"On a planet that increasingly resembles one huge Maximum Security prison, the only intelligent choice is to plan a jail break."
~ Robert Anton Wilson (1932-2007)

"My philosophy of life is that the meek shall inherit nothing but debasement, frustration and ignoble deaths; that there is security in personal strength; that you can fight City Hall and win; that any action is better than no action, even if it's the wrong action; that you never reach glory or self-fulfillment unless you're willing to risk everything, dare anything, put yourself dead on the line every time; and that once one becomes strong or rich or potent or powerful it is the responsibility of the strong to help the weak become strong". - Harlan Ellison (09/08/1973)
=
"I did not want to be mistreated, I did not want to be deprived of a seat that I had paid for. It was just time... there was opportunity for me to take a stand to express the way I felt about being treated in that manner. I had not planned to get arrested. I had plenty to do without having to end up in jail. But when I had to face that decision, I didn't hesitate to do so because I felt that we had endured that too long. The more we gave in, the more we complied with that kind of treatment, the more oppressive it became". - Rosa Parks (1992)
=
"If there is some corner of the world which has remained peaceful, but with a peace based on injustices - the peace of a swamp with rotten matter fermenting in its depths - we may be sure that that peace is false. Violence attracts violence. Let us repeat fearlessly and ceaselessly: injustices bring revolt, either from the oppressed or from the young, determined to fight for a more just and more human world." - Dom Helder Camara(1971)
=
Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.-Jean-Paul Sartre
"Power never takes a back step -- only in the face of more power." -- Malcolm X - Source: Malcolm X Speaks, 1965
=
"I cannot accept, your canon that we are to judge pope and king unlike other men, with a favorable presumption that they do no wrong. If there is any presumption, it is the other way against holders of power ... Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. -- Lord Acton- (1834-1902), First Baron Acton of Aldenham - Source: to the bishop of London, 1887
The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink. - George Orwell (1903 - 1950), "Politics and the English Language", 1946
Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Thus the beneficiaries are spared the shame and danger that their acts would otherwise involve... But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them and gives it to the other persons to whom it doesn't belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish that law without delay ... No legal plunder; this is the principle of justice, peace, order, stability, harmony and logic. - Frederic Bastiat
=
All forms of tampering with human beings, getting at them, shaping them against their will to your own pattern, all thought control and conditioning is, therefore, a denial of that in men which makes them men and their values ultimate. - Isaiah Berlin
"... as all history informs us, there has been in every State & Kingdom a constant kind of warfare between the governing & governed: the one striving to obtain more for its support, and the other to pay less. And this has alone occasioned great convulsions, actual civil wars, ending either in dethroning of the Princes, or enslaving of the people.
Generally indeed the ruling power carries its point, the revenues of princes constantly increasing, and we see that they are never satisfied, but always in want of more.
The more the people are discontented with the oppression of taxes; the greater need the prince has of money to distribute among his partisans and pay the troops that are to suppress all resistance, and enable him to plunder at pleasure.
There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of Pharaoh, get first all the peoples money, then all their lands, and then make them and their children servants for ever" Benjamin Franklin
=
"The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance". - Paul Johnson
What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do. - John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
"There can be no compromise on basic principles. There can be no compromise on moral issues. There can be no compromise on matters of knowledge, of truth, of rational conviction." -- Ayn Rand (1905-1982) Author
=
"There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him." -- Robert A. Heinlein -- (1907-1988) American writer

"I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being, first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole." - Malcolm X




PUNMASTER MUSIC NEWS-SELECTED ARTICLES:

Prince has announced that he's planning a tour that will kick off "on a purple day" in December.
At New York's Apollo Theater last night, the singer announcedto a packed audience that he and his band, the New Power Generation, will perform at "a series of events," dubbed "Welcome 2 America."
He said the tour is "best described as what we've all been waiting for." He told concertgoers to "bring friends, bring your children and bring foot spray 'cause it's gonna be funky."
Prince says the shows will feature funk, R&B and jazz artists including Maceo Parker, Janelle Monae, Mint Condition, Esperanza Spalding, Lalah Hathaway, Sheila E., Cassandra Wilson and Graham Central Station.
In a move that has been rumored for almost six months, it is now confirmed that Ric Ocasek and the Cars have officially reformed.
In late-July, a photo (below) showed up on the Cars' Facebook page with no description. In it were group members Ocasek, Elliot Easton, Greg Hawkes and David Robinson apparently playing in a studio. Fans around the world took it as a sign that the original group was finally reforming.
Last week, the group put up another clue on Facebook, a 73-second snippet of a song calledBlue Tip.
Billboard is now reporting that engineer Paul Orofino confirmed the recording of a new album on the Pro Sound online message board. The message said that the group had recorded some new songs at his studio in Millbrook, NY with the four surviving members and Benjamin Orr's bass parts played and/or programmed by Orofino (Orr died of cancer in 2000). Unfortunately, it looks like the engineer may have let out the news too soon as the message has since been removed from the board.
A source has also told Billboard that the group is also strongly considering a tour in support of a new release.
The Cars broke up in 1988 but attempted to reform in 2005 as the New Cars with Todd Rundgren in place of Ocasek. Ocasek had stated numerous times he was not interested in getting back with the group, but it looks like time has softened his stance.
Meanwhile Elliott Easton is currently touring Australia as lead guitarist for Creedence Clearwater Revisited

DISNEY DILEMMA: CUT KEITH FROM 'PIRATE' MOVIE AFTER BOOK TELL-ALL?
DISNEY executives are sweating it out as salty details of an upcoming book written by rocker/actor Keith Richards leak and splash.
The Rolling Stones guitarist has reprised his role as Captain Teague in the next installment of DISNEY'S 'PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN' franchise.
But now executives fear the rocker's shocking admissions in his new book, LIFE, may cause a firestorm and ignite a backlash around the family-friendly Magic Kingdom.
Among the concerns, Richards appears to detail how to safely get stoned: Use 'high-quality drugs' in moderation!
Richard writes: "It's not only the high quality of drugs I had that I attribute my survival to. I was very meticulous about how much I took. I'd never put more in to get a little higher. That's where most people f**k up on drugs."
One well-placed entertainment source explains that Snow White may end up dumping her Dopey!
"They very well could end up cutting Keith out of the new movie over this," claims the insider.
The book reached #2 on AMAZON's hit list late Thursday
Thanks to Dave Basner for these news stories......
BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD REUNITE FOR SHOW

Life hits shelves on Tuesday.
• In the book, Keith also reveals that he hasn’t been in Mick’s dressing room in over 20 years.

RONNIE WOOD NEARLY PASSED OUT AT SHOW
Ronnie Wood almost passed out during a performance in London this week. After the show, he told Bang Showbiz that he got so distracting “thinking of the chords and the words and singing” that he forgot to breathe and nearly fainted. The Rolling Stones guitarist added that it wasn’t the first time something like that happened. Previously, he was on the radio singing and said at the time he thought, “I’m gonna f***ing die!” and realized he had to breathe or else he was going to “keel over.” Read more at BangShowbiz

The Procol Harum reissues come out on November 1st. The band will also be touring throughout North America next month. Learn more at ProcolHarum.com.
LENNON AND ONO’S FLAT IS HISTORIC
The London apartment that John Lennon and Yoko Ono shared in 1968 is now a historic landmark. According to NME.com, Yoko unveiled a plaque outside the Motagu Square home this weekend, saying she was “very honored” to do it. Originally, Ringo Starr bought the flat, then rented it out to Paul McCartney and later Jimi Hendrix before Lennon and Ono moved in. The pair shot the naked cover of Two Virgins there.

Learn more at GeorgeHarrison.com
PINK FLOYD COULD RE-UNITE?
Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason has revealed that he believes Pink Floyd would reunite for the right charity. According to Planetrock.com, the drummer revealed that he believes Roger Waters and David Gilmour would also be open to the idea of getting back together for the right cause. "I think it would be a very nice way for a band to gently move towards retirement, by doing shows absolutely for charity rather than for more income," he told the BBC. Waters and Gilmour have already played together this year at a charity event for the Hoping Foundation. There the band played four songs together for the first time since 2005’s Live 8. Waters has also announced that Gilmour will likely join him onstage at one of his forthcoming Wall tour dates next year.
THE DOORS: LIVE IN VANCOUVER 1970
The Doors: Live In Vancouver 1970 will be released next month. The show was recorded on June 6th, 1970 at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, British Columbia.

STAMOS DESCRIBES BEACH BOYS MOVIE
We recently reported that a movie set to the music of the Beach Boys is being created and now, producer John Stamos, who’s played drums with the group, is talking about the project. Stamos told Billboard that the film will take place in Southern California probably around 1967. He explained, “Vietnam was looming, which sort of gives way to the background of the story, and we wanted to be able to tap into all the music that came before that.” Don’t expect any Wilson family drama in the movie though – it will focus on the harmonies and is “completely non-biographical.” Susannah Grant, who wrote Erin Brockovich, is penning the screenplay. John hopes to have the film out before the end of next year, which marks the group’s 50th anniversary
WATTS: STONES WILL TOUR WHEN THEY’RE BORED
When will the Rolling Stones head out on tour? Charlie Watts told Billboard, “Well, it’s always been ‘next year’ – it’s been like that for two years.” He added, ‘We’ll go on the road when Keith’s [Richards] bored…and Ronnie’s [Wood] bored. At the moment, they’re both not bored. Bored enough, I mean.”
THE BIGGEST ALBUM BLOOPERS
There are times when a band heads into the studio with lyrics in hand and wind up recording with totally different words. Sometimes it’s an accident and Gibson.com has compiled the ten best times when those mistakes made the final release. Topping their Rock and Roll Bloopers list is David Lee Roth, who butchered a lyric on Van Halen’s “Everybody Wants Some.” Instead of singing, “I’ve seen a lot of people just looking for a moonbeam,” the rocker crooned gibberish that sounded like, “Ya take a moople-ah, wookie pah-a moopie.” Van Halen liked the vibe of the new line and kept it. Read more at Gibson.com.
Stu Cook, the bass player for Creedence Clearwater Revival, says the CCR record label Fantasy Records has bastardized the Creedence catalogue.
Fantasy Records re-issued the Creedence albums last year with bonus tracks that have riled Stu. “I’m not too thrilled about the bogus tracks,” he tells Undercover News. “They did not consult us about that. We were not involved in anyway in putting those together. A lot of it is trash”.
The bonus songs used on the reissued albums were content that Creedence rejected from the original albums. “It was stuff that wasn’t good enough. That is why it wasn’t released before,” he says. “Some collectors like it. They did a good job of remastering the original discs but they should have found some other way to release the other stuff. I don’t think it generated enough sales to warrant bastardizing the original albums”.
When he heard one of the bonus tracks, he realised that he wasn’t even on the it. “We were in the studio with Booker T. & The MGs just jamming, Stu said. “I listened to ‘Down On The Corner’ and thought “oh no, that can’t be me”, and it wasn’t. It was ‘Duck’ Dunn playing the bass and every third note is a mistake. Why did they do that? What is the redeeming value of putting something like that out without even running it by a musician? It was poor taste, poor judgement and only about the bottom line. They would have done much better if they got the artist involved”.
The history between Creedence and Fantasy Records was well documented in the 70s. Fantasy has a new owner with Concord Music, but the problems still exist. “Fantasy are pathetic and the people who bought them are pathetic,” he says. “It’s the same story. The only time you are happy with a label is when they think they need you. Then they treat you right. The rest of the time it is “get in line and shut up. I actually prefer the old Fantasy to the new Fantasy

Bob Dylan wrote 'Mr Tambourine Man' about him, and he played guitar on many of the singer's greatest hits. He collaborated with Joan Baez and Harry Belafonte, wrote a string of brilliant film scores, and even created the world's greatest chilli sauce. So why has nobody heard of the great Bruce Langhorne?

"True compassion, is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring." - Martin Luther King Jr.

"The misapprehension springs from the fact that the learned jurists, deceiving themselves as well as others, depict in their books an ideal of government -- not as it really is, an assembly of men who oppress their fellow-citizens, but in accordance with the scientific postulate, as a body of men who act as the representatives of the rest of the nation.
They have gone on repeating this to others so long that they have ended by believing it themselves, and they really seem to think that justice is one of the duties of governments.
History, however, shows us that governments, as seen from the reign of Caesar to those of the two Napoleons and Prince Bismarck, are in their very essence a violation of justice; a man or a body of men having at command an army of trained soldiers, deluded creatures who are ready for any violence, and through whose agency they govern the State, will have no keen sense of the obligation of justice. Therefore governments will never consent to diminish the number of those well-trained and submissive servants, who constitute their power and influence."

PUNMASTER MUSIC NEWS-SELECTED ARTICLES:


Pop singer Eddie Fisher passed away Wednesday night at his home in Berkeley of complications from hip surgery, his daughter, Tricia Leigh Fisher of Los Angeles, told The Associated Press. He was 82.
"Late last evening the world lost a true America icon," Fisher's family said in a statement released by publicist British Reece. "One of the greatest voices of the century passed away. He was an extraordinary talent and a true mensch."
In the early 50s, Fisher sold millions of records with 32 hit songs including 'Thinking of You,' 'Any Time,' 'Oh, My Pa-pa,' 'I'm Yours,' and 'Wish You Were Here.' His fame was enhanced by his 1955 marriage to movie darling Debbie Reynolds -- they were touted as "America's favorite couple" -- and the birth of two children. Their daughter Carrie Fisher became a film star herself in the first three 'Star Wars' films as Princess Leia.
His clear voice brought him a devoted following of teenage girls in the early 1950s before marriage scandals overshadowed his fame.
When Eddie Fisher's best friend, producer Mike Todd, was killed in a 1958 plane crash, Fisher comforted the widow, Elizabeth Taylor. Amid sensationalist headlines, Fisher divorced Reynolds and married Taylor in 1959.
The Fisher-Taylor marriage lasted only five years. She fell in love with co-star Richard Burton during the Rome filming of 'Cleopatra,' divorced Fisher and married Burton in one of the great entertainment world scandals of the 20th century. Fisher's career never recovered from the notoriety. He married actress Connie Stevens, and they had two daughters. Another divorce followed.
In 1983, Fisher attempted a full-scale comeback. But his old fans had been turned off by the scandals, and the younger generation had been turned on by rock. The tour was unsuccessful.
At 47, Fisher married a 21-year-old beauty queen, Terry Richard. The marriage ended after 10 months. His fifth marriage, to Betty Lin, a Chinese-born businesswoman, lasted longer than any of the others. Fisher had two children with Reynolds: Carrie and Todd; and two girls with Stevens: Joely and Tricia.
THE WHO MAKING PLANS FOR 2011
The Who are coming back next year. Singer Roger Daltrey revealed the news in a fan Q&A on the band’s official site, telling readers that guitarist Pete Townshend is writing new material, possibly even for Floss, that rock opera which he started last year. Roger added that he’s hoping the group will tour most of 2011, revisiting classic albums like Quadrophenia and Tommy. The rocker stated, “We’re in the planning stages for next year… I can’t really talk about specifics yet, but it will be based around a past work.” Read more at TheWho.com.

Want to see Neil Young performing his new album, Le Noise, in its entirety? Well now you can from the comfort of your own home! The singer has released a film of himself playing the whole record and it’s available online. Check it out by searching YouTube for “Neil Young Le Noise The Film.”
PLANT THINKING OF TALKING TO ZEP GUYS?
The stories in The Onion are fake but when the paper’s A.V. Club interviews musicians, it’s for real. But in the Club’s chat with Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant, the rocker says something that could go either way. When asked if Zep are thinking of playing again, Plant cryptically responded, “I think we’re probably thinking about talking.” No word on what that could mean or if Robert was just being cheeky, but you can read more from him at AVClub.com.
JERRY HALL SAYS JAGGER WAS ON HEROIN
Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall were with each other for decades and have four children together and now, the former model is talking about Mick’s heroin habit. According to England’s Telegraph, in her new autobiography, Hall reveals the Rolling Stone singer smoked heroin regularly in the ‘70s and did LSD daily for a year in the ‘60s. She told him she wouldn’t see him if he took drugs so he stopped. Read more at Telegraph.co.uk
IS BAD COMPANY OVER?
Bad Company are currently touring in America and head off to Japan later this year, but what will happen to the band after that? Singer Paul Rodgers told the Times Record that after the dates in Asia, “There will be no further plans for Bad Company.” No word on if that means the group will be retired again, but Paul did say he plans to focus on his solo career in the coming months.

Guitar titans' one and only meeting to be released as a deluxe CD/DVD November 9th on Stax
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — On December 6, 1983, legendary blues guitarist Albert King joined his disciple Stevie Ray Vaughan on a Canadian sound stage for the live music television series In Session. Magic happened. The highly sought after video footage from that one-time legendary summit becomes available for the first time ever on November 9 with the release of Stax Records’ deluxe two-disc CD/DVD In Session.

The DVD contains three classic performances unavailable on the previously issued audio disc: “Born Under a Bad Sign,” the landmark title track from Albert King’s biggest Stax release written by William Bell and Booker T. Jones; Stevie Ray’s “Texas Flood,” the Larry Davis-penned title track of Vaughan’s immortal debut album; and “I’m Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town,” made famous by Louis Jordan and later, Ray Charles.

“It was evident from the first choruses,” writes liner notes author/musicologist Samuel Charters, “that they were playing for each other. And that was the best audience either of them could ever have. The music never lost its intensity, its quality of something very important being handed back and forth and there was time for Stevie and Albert to see where their ideas took them.”

Accolades have showered upon this momentous encounter. “As a document of what was probably one of the greatest nights in the musical life of SRV, this belongs in the collection of every true fan,” said the Austin American-Statesman. Sonic Boomers added, “Both men are gone now, but rare recordings like In Session remind us of a time when blues giants still walked the earth side by side.” Elmore magazine called it “an indispensible part of any blues fan’s collection.” And BluesWax noted, “thank goodness, this disc lives on and on.”

Now this one-of-a-kind visual document featuring two giants of American blues can be enjoyed by audiences all over the world. Sadly, King and Vaughan would not share a stage together ever again. Vaughan, 31 years King’s junior, died in a helicopter crash in the fog on the way back from a concert in 1990. King outlived him by two years, dying of a heart attack in 1992. They didn’t meet often, and their careers took different paths. But we can all be grateful for that one long day in a television studio when sparks flew and this timeless performance was forever captured

TOKYO – Tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins — one of the last surviving legends of the golden era of jazz — has just turned 80. His hair is a burst of white, and he staggers a bit when he walks on stage.
But when he plays, he still sounds like a 20-year-old, and his Japanese fans can't get enough.
Rollins is back this week on an 80th birthday tour in this nation long known for its love of jazz.
It's also a place where Rollins feels at home. Since 1963, when he first visited Japan, Rollins has studied Buddhism, yoga and meditation, and frequents the temples and bamboo forests of the ancient capital of Kyoto.
"Maybe I was Japanese in my past life," he told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from his home in Germantown, New York, ahead of his trip.
Rollins, who turned 80 on Sept. 7, has visited Japan more than 20 times, almost always playing to sellout crowds.
Each time, he brings the unmistakable power of his legacy, which includes collaborations with some of the biggest names in jazz — Max Roach, John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk.
The crowd at JCB Hall in Tokyo on Monday clapped adoringly at his solos and gave him a long standing ovation after his 1 1/2-hour performance. He has three other concerts in Japan through Saturday.
"He was gorgeous," said schoolteacher Shoko Tateishi, who has heard Rollins three times, as well as Chet Baker and Ron Carter. "You didn't sense his age a bit."
Throughout his trademark piano-less performance, with Bob Cranshaw on bass, Russell Malone on guitar, Kobie Watkins on drums and Sammy Figueroa on percussion, Rollins' sound was full and energetic — befitting his reputation as the "saxophone colossus."
Rollins believes Japanese people gravitate to his music because it is beyond the barriers of language or nationality.
"Jazz is a very universal music. There is no doubt about it," he said. "When you hear jazz, there is something in it that gives you the feeling of something bigger than this particular life that we live in. That's why jazz is such a great music."
Rollins, who still practices daily and insists his pursuit of perfection is far from over, shrugs off getting older, although he acknowledges he is physically weaker and can't eat as much ice cream as he used to.
He feels pretty much the same as that moment he fell in love with jazz — after hearing Fats Waller's piano as a child.
"And so being 80 is just a number," he said. "I know that the body is here for just a minute, but the soul is always here."
On stage, Rollins, wearing a bright red shirt, was tireless, swaying to the rhythms, playing ballads, standards and calypso-inspired compositions, wrapping up with his signature tune "St. Thomas."
Hajime Ban, a 69-year-old designer, was in tears after the performance.
"At this stage in his life, he is no longer human," he said. "I don't want to think this is the last time we're going to be able to hear him."
Rollins doesn't dwell on his past, although he is one of a handful left standing among the giants of jazz, who were so critical in defining the art form during the 1950s and 1960s.
"I am still able to play my horn. It is a blessing. It is a gift. I am not looking backward at all," he said. "Eighty is fine."
CAN YOU DIG IT? MONKEES HANDMADE HEAD TRIP
The surreal odyssey of The Monkees' HEAD continues! Rhino Handmade expands the superbly strange soundtrack as an exclusive three-disc boxed set featuring 20 previously unreleased tracks, outtakes, rarities, and live performances; plus an entire disc containing a rare promo-only radio interview Davy recorded in 1968. Ahead of its time when released, HEAD has become a cult classic from the psychedelic era and the DELUXE EDITION contains many of the missing links of this conceptual soundtrack.
A kaleidoscope of unissued auditory delights, HEAD (DELUXE EDITION) begins with the newly remastered original soundtrack including the ethereal theme "Porpoise Song," and offers up alternate stereo mixes for nearly every track. It also features a rough stereo mix of "Can You Dig it" with Tork singing instead of Dolenz, "Daddy's Song" which is remixed with a section that was never used in the film or soundtrack album, and an unreleased stereo mix of "Swami - Plus Strings."
Disc two delivers outtakes and rarities, including mono mixes for every track, along with perhaps most monumentally, a long-lost live set recorded at the Valley Music Hall in Salt Lake City from the spring of 1968. The performances were captured for the film, but ultimately only one track ("Circle Sky") was used. Long rumored, recently discovered, this is the first time these legendary live tracks have ever been available.
Disc three rounds out the set with an elusive radio interview with Jones about the album that was only issued as a promotional LP in 1968. It also includes full tracks and excerpts from the Head soundtrack that were interspersed throughout the interview. The original promo disc is considered one of the rarest Monkees collectibles, and now we're making it available for you to hear!
Housed in a 7" x 7" deluxe box with a mirrored finish that replicates the original vinyl release, the collection also features (X pages of) new liner notes by Andrew Sandoval and Rachel Lichtman, including brand-new interviews with Michael Nesmith and director Bob Rafelson, plus dozens of unpublished color photos.
Only available at Rhino.com, HEAD (DELUXE EDITION) is due at the end of October, but you can pre-order it now.
That's not all! The Monkees are coming to Blu-Ray! The Criterion Collection presents "America: Lost And Found," a special edition Blu-ray collector's set with new, restored high-definition digital transfers of Head; Easy Rider; Five Easy Pieces; Drive, He Said; A Safe Place; The Last Picture Show & The King Of Marvin Gardens. This set also features behind-the-scenes documentaries, audio commentaries, liner notes, and more!

AMSTERDAM – Solomon Burke, the larger-than-life "King of Rock and Soul" who was revered as one of music's greatest vocalists but never reached the level of fame of those he influenced, died early Sunday at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport. He was 70.
Born to the sound of music in an upstairs room of a Philadelphia church, Burke was acknowledged as one of the greatest soul singers of the 1960s, but his popularity never matched that of contemporaries like James Brown or Marvin Gaye.
Two of Burke's best-known songs reached a wider audience when they were featured in hit movies.
He wrote "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" in 1964 and it was later featured in the Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi movie "The Blues Brothers." The Rolling Stones and Wilson Pickett also recorded it.
A bare-chested Patrick Swayze danced seductively with Jennifer Grey to Burke's "Cry To Me" in one of the most memorable scenes from the movie "Dirty Dancing."
Legendary Atlantic Records producer Jerry Wexler once called Burke, "the best soul singer of all time."
Anti- Records President Andy Kaulkin, whose label produced Burke's comeback record, "Don't Give Up On Me," which won him his first and only Grammy, said, "Popular music today wouldn't be where it is without Solomon Burke."
AL PACINO TO PLAY PHIL SPECTOR IN BIOPIC
There’s a HBO new biopic in the works that’ll tell the life story of record producer Phil Spector and according to the New York Times, Al Pacino will play him. David Mamet is writing the screenplay about Spector, who created the “wall of sound” in the 1960’s and who was convicted of second-degree murder last year in the 2003 shooting death of actress Lana Clarkson. Spector is now serving a 19-years-to-life sentence. No word on when the movie will come out.

For the very first time in history the “World’s Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band,” ABKCO Records and Universal Music Group have joined forces to offer two vinyl box set collections spanning over 40 years of the Rolling Stones’ career. The box sets include 23 original studio albums, two “Big Hits” collections as well as two rare EPs. They will be released on November 22 in the U.K. and November 23 in the U.S. and Canada. The Rolling Stones 1964-1969 and The Rolling Stones 1971-2005 Vinyl Box Sets offer the consumer a wealth of great Rolling Stones music, much of which hasn’t been available on vinyl for a considerable period of time.
The Rolling Stones 1964-1969 Vinyl Box Set, a limited edition numbered box set collection, chronologically encompasses the Stones’ early U.K. releases. The set includes nine re-mastered Rolling Stones studio albums, two remastered EPs, plus two “Big Hits” collections. It's the first vinyl reissue in decades for The Rolling Stones (EP), The Rolling Stones, Five by Five (EP), The Rolling Stones No. 2, Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) and Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2).
The first five titles in the set are presented in their original mono format affording, for the first time in years, an opportunity for Stones fans to enjoy remastered versions of the tracks “I Can’t Be Satisfied,” “Time Is On My Side” (Version 2) and “Down the Road Apiece” as originally released. Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2) is included with its original octagonal cover and artwork intact. Metamorphosis is also included in the set; the album was first released in 1975 but is wholly comprised of tracks recorded from the early-to-late sixties. The inclusion of the band’s original two “Big Hits” collections was mandated by the fact that U.K. album releases in that era most often did not include contemporaneously released hit singles.
The world really was the Rolling Stones’ oyster in the seventies, as their escapades made headlines around the world from the French Riviera to Switzerland and via the U.S. and Canada. They performed groundbreaking concerts in arenas and moved effortlessly into open-air stadiums. They stuck their collective tongue out at the British establishment and became citizens of the world.

They set up their own label and made the most of their new-found artistic freedom and, most importantly, they issued a series of definitive studio albums: Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main Street, Goats Head Soup, It’s Only Rock ’n’ Roll, Black And Blue and Some Girls. They partied at Studio 54, came up with dance-floor hits “Miss You” and “Emotional Rescue,” and recorded in Paris, Nassau, Jamaica and New York.
The eighties saw the band stretch the envelope further still, working with jazz great Sonny Rollins, film directors Julien Temple and Michael Lindsay-Hogg, and producers Chris Kimsey and Steve Lillywhite on classics such as Emotional Rescue, Tattoo You, Undercover, Dirty Work and Steel Wheels.

Throughout the next two decades they filmed with Scorsese, recorded with Don Was and released further groundbreaking albums--Voodoo Lounge and Bridges To Babylon, right up to 2005’s triumphant A Bigger Bang.

Fans now get a chance to rediscover many of their past favorites and unearth some forgotten gems along the way too …all re-mastered and sounding better than ever.

The two volumes, a compendium of the band’s U.K.-released studio recordings, will be marketed jointly by ABKCO and UMG and span the band’s output from the dawn of their recording career in early 1964 with the release of their debut LP The Rolling Stones, through to A Bigger Bang, originally released in 2005. Pressings in The Rolling Stones 1964-1969 and The Rolling Stones 1971-2005 Vinyl Box Sets are 180-gram virgin heavyweight vinyl and are part of the much lauded Back-to-Black classic vinyl reissue series.

Jody Klein, ABKCO Music and Records CEO, remarked, “With the current marketplace resurgence of vinyl, these collections are certain to delight both long-standing Stones fans as well as contemporary vinyl devotees. The quality of the pressings and the care with which these historic releases have been remastered is breathtaking.”
"We are honored to continue our campaign to preserve the Stones legacy with the highest quality sets for fans to enjoy," added Bruce Resnikoff, President/CEO, Universal Music Enterprises (UMe).
Andrew Kronfeld, Universal Music Group International’s Executive VP, International Marketing, said, “Vinyl was the Rolling Stones’ accomplice from day one, so this is the way to hear the world’s greatest rock ’n’ roll band. There’s nothing else to say… just listen.”
