The Doors' 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition

Read "The Doors' 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

In his usual evenhanded, deceptively passionate prose for The Doors' 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, David Fricke neatly encapsulates the combined personal and universal significance of the record.

Pepper (Parlophone), Jefferson Airplane's Surrealistic Pillow (RCA, ...

by Doug Collette

The career trajectory of the 'Young' Rascals took them from a point in music culture where singles were the focal point of both art and commerce to a point where the album was a work unto itself rather than a collection of singles. As much as it's aimed at a true devotee of the band, The ...

Chicago: Chicago II

Read "Chicago II" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Chicago II deserves its stereo remix and mastering by British audiophile extraordinaire Steven Wilson for any number of reasons, the most prominent of which is that, at this early juncture in the band's career, its creativity was at full flower, minus the pedantic tendencies or self-conscious pretension that would arise on later records.

The Rolling Stones: Blue And Lonesome

Read "Blue And Lonesome" reviewed by Doug Collette
