Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week

This week is the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, and the 6-CD em>Woodstock: 40 Years on: Back to Yasgur's Farm captures the best of the legendary music festival. The box set features 38 previously unreleased live recordings from The Grateful Dead, The Who, and many more artists.

If you are feeling nostalgic, the Jimi Hendrix Live 1968 Paris/Ottawa box set copmes with 2 CDs and a t-shirt.

As the summer gets hotter, the music release lists get shorter. Still, I can ecommend Anna Ternheim's Leaving On a Mayday, Box Elders' Alice and Friends, and Patrick Wolf: The Bachelor (which finally gets its stateside release) among this week's list of new releases.

The reissue of the week is definitely the UK legacy edition of The Stone Roses' self-titled debut album, but I can wait until September 8th for the 3-CD, 3-LP, & DVD US edition.

What new music can you recommend this week? What's on your shopping list? Have I left any interesting releases off the list?

The Rush record is not a reissue of Grace Under Pressure (one of their most amazing and under-rated albums IMO) but just the live album which was made available with the DVD reissues a few years ago. It looks like they are releasing it now as a standalone. The live album is good, but not the Grace Under Pressure record as it is listed above....

Noam is absolutely correct. Pretty important distinction

A new face in hell!

That Stone Roses album is a masterpiece. In my opinion, one of the best albums of all time.

The Roses album was only ever re-released one other time that I can remember. It was remastered back in 1999 for the 10th anniversary and was a sound improvement over the original..It was also a limited pressing and is worth a good amount of money..

The album is a classic and the legacy edition coming out in September with all its extras is astounding.
