There's Trouble brewing! On October 17, Rhino will reissue Randy Newman's seventh studio album, Trouble in Paradise, as a 2CD expanded edition featuring previously unreleased demos and a rare concert performance.

Chess Grand Masters: Classic Blues Label Celebrates 75 Years with Special Vinyl Reissues
For all its influence, it sometimes feels like the Chicago blues label Chess Records doesn't get the respect it deserves. That changes this fall with a series of new compilations and reissues of old ones, set for release from Universal Music Group to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the label's creation. Polish immigrants Leonard and Phil Chess became ingratiated into the club scene on the south side of Chicago in the '30s and '40s. They were intrigued by the thriving local talent - many

Omnivore Basks in 'The Glow of Love' on Expanded Reissue by Change
Between 1980 and 1985, the group known as Change released six albums built around dance rhythms, big hooks, and powerful vocals. The group's name was spot-on, as during that period, Change's line-up was in constant flux - yet the quality of the music delivered consistently. On October 3, Omnivore Recordings will revisit Change's debut album, 1980's The Glow of Love, on CD in an expanded and remastered edition. Originally appearing in Italy on Goody Music Records and throughout the rest of the
