Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week

BeatlesThe big music news this week comes from the Beatles, with the release of a 17-CD box set of remastered albums along with 14 individual albums, not to mention Tuesday’s release of The Beatles: Rock Band for your music videogaming pleasure.

Two bands return from lengthy hiatuses to release possibly their greatest albums yet, Polvo with In Prism and Prefab Sprout with Let’s Change the World With Music.

I can also recommend Vivian Girls’ sophomore album Everything Goes Wrong Damon & Naomi’s compilation The Sub Pop Years, HEALTH’s Get Color, Taken By Trees’ East of Eden, and the new release I am most excited about, Visqueen’s Message To Garcia.

Apart from the remastered Beatles box set and individual albums, there are several other quality reissues. The Stone Roses’ seminal self-titled debut album’s 20th anniversary edition sees its stateside release tomorrow in several editions, including a 3-CD 3-LP 1-DVD limited collector’s edition. Two Feelies albums (Crazy Rhythms, The Good Earth) are reissued on CD, as is The Get Up Kids’ Something to Write Home About (complete with bonus DVD).
