AC/DC Releases Entire Catalog On iTunes

Columbia Records and Apple announced today that AC/DC's music will be available at the iTunes Store worldwide. Sixteen studio albums will be released.  AC/DC was one of the few acts that would not release music through the digital outlet. The Beatles and Kid Rock were also against selling music on iTunes, but have since relented (maybe it has something to do with the money they can make!).   Four of AC/DC's live albums and three compilation records are also available. The statement said the songs have been mastered for iTunes "with increased audio fidelity."

Vinyl Record News & Music Notes

from our friends at www.vinylcollective.com (album cover art of the day:)

Yo La Tengo's "Fade" Pre-Order - Release Date : 2013-01-15

Fade is the most direct, personal and cohesive album of Yo La Tengo's career. Recorded with John McEntire at Soma Studios in Chicago, it recalls the sonic innovation and lush cohesion of career high points like 1997‘s I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One and 2000’s ...And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out. The album is a tapestry of fine melody and elegant noise, rhythmic shadowplay and shy- eyed orchestral beauty, songfulness and experimentation.

But Fade attains a lyrical universality and hard-won sense of grandeur that’s rare even for this band. It weaves themes of aging, personal tragedy and emotional bonds into a fully-realized whole that recalls career-defining statements like Blood on the Tracks, I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight, or Al Green's Call Me.

"Nothing ever stays the same / Nothing’s explained," the band sing in unison on the reflective opening track "Ohm". "We try not to lose our hearts / Not to lose our minds." It’s a straightforward sentiment for a band who prefer private intimation to forceful expression. It makes the song’s resistance to resignation feel that much more earned.

Ask Mr. Music by Jerry Osborne

FOR THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 12, 2012

DEAR JERRY: Hopefully you can substantiate something that I cannot convince a coworker is true.

We were talking about how much more accurate the current computerized point of sale system is for ranking music sales, than the indiscriminate ways of years past.

On that we agree, but unless I dreamed it I don't think using computers to track record sales is all that new.

I recall some of the chain stores, such as Tower Records, doing exactly that to determine what was selling and where. I believe that was in the 1970s, but he thinks it was much later.

If you tell me this is all a sci-fi dream, there will definitely be crow on my menu.
—Ernie Judd, Washington, D.C.



DEAR ERNIE: The current system, computerized of course, for tabulating sales, has been in use since March 1, 1991.

Called Nielsen SoundScan, after founder Arthur Nielsen, this is the same company that began tracking and measuring television audiences in 1950, which they still do.

You're right about stores using computers in the 1970s, but this fashion forward tool for inventory control really began a decade earlier.

In October 1965, E.J. Korvette, a chain of membership discount stores, began using computers in their record departments.

These mammoth machines generated a weekly report indicating which records, including genres, formats, and location demographics, were selling in each of their 39 stores.

If a certain genre or format, (singles, albums, mono, stereo, etc.) didn't sell well at one store, they simply moved those to a more appropriate location.

Just as with SoundScan, Korvette's computers operated from the point of sale, gathering the data entered at their cash registers. No surprise here, since the system was installed by the National Cash Register Company.

Regarding the menu, baked crow, along with humble pie (dessert), are no longer being served.



DEAR JERRY: Who sang "My Father's Voice"? I believe it was made in the 1950s or '60s. Where can I buy it?
—Laura Lea, Sandy, Utah



DEAR LAURA: Even though she doesn't actually sing on it, Judy Lynn's touching narrative of "My Father's Voice" became a Top 20 C&W hit in 1963.

Judy, who was really 27 at the time, speaks as a girl who just turned 16. Part of her birthday is spent in a canyon near a waterfall, where she recalls some of the advice passed on by her late father.

Think of this as the country version of the 1958 hit, "The Teen Commandments" (Paul Anka, George Hamilton IV, and Johnny Nash), with several of the same warnings: don't smoke, don't drink, obey your mother, get an education, don't make whoopee before marriage, etc., etc.

The original single (United Artists 571) is frequently available for under five bucks on Amazon as well as eBay.

Since "My Father's Voice" was Judy's second biggest hit, after "Footsteps of a Fool," you'll find it on "The Best of Judy Lynn" (1966). Either the monaural (UAL-3461) or stereo (UAS-6461) should be available for around $10 from the same online sellers.



DEAR JERRY: Here's one for your "how could this not have been a hit" list, except we'd have to add "in America" to the category.

Nana Mouskouri's 1971 recording of "A Place in My Heart" sold millions worldwide, but is mostly unknown here. Was this tune a U.S. hit by anyone?

I found it in three languages (English, French, and Spanish) on YouTube, but how many others did the Grande Dame make?
—Jo Ann Lee, Hilo, Hawaii

DEAR JO ANN: A couple of other songs using the same title have made the charts, but none are the Jean-Pierre Ferland composition done by Mouskouri.

Nana recorded "A Place in My Heart" in at least seven languages, the other four being German, Portuguese, Greek, and Italian.

Nana also sings fluently in Dutch, Turkish, Hebrew, Welsh, Maori (New Zealand), Mandarin Chinese, Swedish, and Japanese, though we have yet to encounter "A Place in My Heart" in these other tongues.





IZ ZAT SO? Since 1957, when Nana Mouskouri EMI Greece issued her first songs, her sales are nearing 400 million records, from a catalog of 1,500 songs on 450 albums.

With over 230 framed gold and platinum awards, she ran out of wall space long ago.

It is estimated Nana has given over 11,000 concerts, on every continent except Antarctica.

No wonder the Universal Music Group says Nana is the worldwide top-selling female recording artist of all time.

All accomplished without ever being in the U.S. Top 100 with a recording of any kind.

Having turned 78 last month (Oct. 13), Nana, after six decades of performing, is semi-retired and living in Switzerland.

BRAD CELEBRATES 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF WELCOME TO DISCOVERY PARK WITH NEWLY AVAILABLE CD & VINYL ALBUM RE-ISSUES 

2012 marks the ten year anniversary of BRAD’s long out-of-print, third studio album, Welcome To Discovery Park.  To celebrate, Welcome To Discovery Park (originally released in August, 2002 on Redline Entertainment) will be reissued in several configurations, including for the very first time, limited-edition 2LP gatefold vinyl.  

In addition, the release will be made available as a digipak CD and also as a digital download through all digital service providers.  Each configuration will include 2 bonus tracks (previously unavailable in North America) – “It Ain’t Easy” and “Make Me Crazy.”  

New album artwork for Welcome To Discovery Park has been newly re-designed and created by BRAD drummer, Regan Hagar.

“Crazy how time flies!!  BRAD is very proud to be re-issuing our third record. One of my favorite BRAD tracks of all time is the stark and simple ‘Takin’ It Easy,’ the stunning melody and emotion in Shawn’s voice never fails to make me smile. We hope if some of you have been having a hard time finding …Discovery Park, this will brighten your day.  And if you haven’t heard about it, check it out,” says Stone Gossard. 

The reissue of Welcome To Discovery is the first in a series of Razor & Tie BRAD catalog re-issues. 
2013 will also see the release of additional BRAD titles in multiple formats.

* TIER ONE: CD only

Formed in 1992, BRAD originated as an official side-project that developed into something much deeper for fans and band alike. Anchored by Shawn Smith’s astonishing vocals, the band’s soulful rock sound has spawned four official studio albums. Over the years, Brad has toured off/on and also performed on both Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Animal Collective - Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished 2XLP (Reissue)

Expected release date is 13th Nov 2012

Comes with a digital download code! Friends and musical partners since 1992, core members Avey Tare and Panda Bear came together in 2000 with the intention of moving pop music in a new direction that would emphasize sonic experience. Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished was the world's first exposure to a band who would soon become so ubiquitous in the indie lexicon that in 2012 it feels impossible to find corners of that musical landscape that have not been touched by their influence. When it was first released the album was only available on CD and not widely distributed until its double reissue with Danse Manatee on FatCat. Now Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished is FINALLY available for the first time in the US on vinyl! On the heels of their widely acclaimed new album Centipede Hz, this is a necessity for fans old and new and a testament to the longevity of their prowess.
