TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS Hypnotic Eye BOB SEGER Night Moves JEFF BECK Live+ Cass County: Deluxe Edition Don Henley says he enjoyed making Cass County more than any other record in his storied career. The music reflects the singer’s sentiment. Rooted in Henley’s Southern heritage, and featuring a cavalcade of all-star guests, it makes the 15-year wait between Henley solo albums worthwhile. This deluxe pressing includes four bonus tracks. Echoing back to Tom Petty and Co.’s first two records, Hypnotic Eye is straight-ahead rock n’ roll steeped in the classic 50s and 60s influences that have long informed the group’s finest works. His longtime band, excited by this unassailable batch of hard-driving originals, kicks up a storm. In what we hope marks the beginning of catalog reissue campaign, Bob Seger’s 1976 breakthrough finally receives its just desserts on 180g LP. Recorded with the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, and overflowing with an unpretentious mix of rock, soul, and blues, Night Moves brings it all back home. Let other legends rest on their laurels. Jeff Beck keeps pressing ahead into new sonic territories, challenging himself by playing with different musicians and transforming familiar songs via cover versions that upend preconceptions. Drawn from his celebrated 2014 tours, Live+ testifies on behalf of Beck’s agelessness.

Dance, shout, jump. Do whatever comes naturally. George Clinton, Bernie Worrell, and Co. loosen limbs, liberate brain cells, and ditch anything that stands in the way of a great time on this crazed 1970 classic. In October 1968, Sly and the Family Stone rode the success of Dance to the Music to a two-night, four-show stand at Fillmore East. Originally recorded for an intended live release, the highlights from these energetic, dynamic performances are finally unearthed—and reveal a live band as good as any from the era. 180g LP + MORE FROM THIS ARTIST ON PAGE 268 $18.99 Live at the Fillmore East 180g 2LP L4MEN172 + MORE FROM THIS ARTIST ON PAGE 264 $34.99 LDS01319 + MORE FROM THIS ARTIST ON PAGE 267 MORE FROM THIS ARTIST ON PAGE 264 180g colored LP $31.99 mono LP $24.99 LDB17205 2LP $35.99 LDP09411 + + MORE FROM THIS ARTIST ON PAGE 263 MORE FROM THIS ARTIST ON PAGE 266 THE STAPLE SINGERS THE EVERLY BROTHERS The Golden Hits of the Everly Brothers Freedom Highway Complete The entirety of the Staple Singers’ scorching 1965 concert and service at Chicago’s New Nazareth Church is available for the first time on this seminal reissue remastered from the original analog multi-track tapes.
