I am losing my mind right now because I just discovered, completely by accident, that a whole bunch of albums that were put out by Varèse Sarabande in the 90s are finally available digitally after being out of print for years (and pretty obscure even when they were in print). You can see the full list here.

The Lost in Boston and Unsung Musicals albums were a big deal for me back in the day, and being able to actually share them with people now just makes me so happy.

The Unsustainable Library Library Project Part 7:

Listen, Listen: The Best of Emitt Rhodes Emitt Rhodes (Varese Sarabande/ Varese Vintage) (released in 1995)

Emitt Rhodes is a cult artist and you know how boring people can be about cult artists. I'm not here to convince anyone to investigate the man's music. It's worth it to do so, but that's your call. Rhodes released four solo albums between 1970 and 1973 and they really are all enjoyable and worth discovering. In 2009 Hip-O did the world a great service by releasing those four albums on a compilation two disc set which is how I discovered him. Granted, that was a late discovery but as I am fond of saying, it doesn't matter when you discover someone, just so long as you do discover that person. I think a "Best of" package of Emitt Rhodes is an odd thing, but I do like odd things, so I couldn't pass this by. These dollar CDs are often revealing themselves as albums I never knew existed. And this album has an unreleased track titled Isn't It So which was recorded in 1980. Another reason to snap this up.

Above are the album cover and the back of the album. Below, the jewel case is opened up to reveal the back of the booklet and give you your first glimpse of the CD.

Here's a look at the first pages of the booklet below.

Of course, I close out with a shot of the CD.

Sin City (also known as Frank Miller's Sin City) is a 2005 American neo-noir crime anthology film produced and directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller. It is based on Miller's graphic novel of the same name.

 Much of the film is based on the first, third, and fourth books in Miller's original comic series. The Hard Goodbye is about an ex-convict who embarks on a rampage in search of his one-time sweetheart's killer. The Big Fat Kill follows a private investigator  who gets caught in a street war between a group of prostitutes and a group of mercenaries, the police and the mob. That Yellow Bastard focuses on an aging police officer who protects a young woman from a grotesquely disfigured serial killer. The intro and outro of the film are based on the short story "The Customer is Always Right" which is collected in Booze, Broads & Bullets, the sixth book in the comic series.

 The film stars an ensemble cast led by Jessica Alba, Benicio del Toro, Brittany Murphy, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, and Elijah Wood, and featuring Alexis Bledel, Powers Boothe, Michael Clarke Duncan, Rosario Dawson, Devon Aoki, Carla Gugino, Rutger Hauer, Jaime King, Michael Madsen, Nick Stahl, and Makenzie Vega among others.

 Sin City opened to wide critical and commercial success, gathering particular recognition for the film's unique color processing which rendered most of the film in black and white while retaining or adding color for selected objects. The film was screened at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival in competition and won the Technical Grand Prize for the film's "visual shaping". A sequel also directed by Miller and Rodriguez was released in 2014, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, but failed to match the critical and commercial success of its predecessor.

  Southbound is a 2015 American anthology horror film directed by Radio Silence, Roxanne Benjamin, David Bruckner, and Patrick Horvath. Produced by Brad Miska and Roxanne Benjamin, the film premiered at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival on September 16, 2015, and was released theatrically on February 5, 2016, in a limited release. The film was included on numerous Best Horror Films of 2016 lists including those by Rolling Stone, BuzzFeed and the Thrillist.

"...THE AUTHOR OF WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE THE GREAT AMERICAN BLUES SONGBOOK."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on the pioneering American blues musician, vocalist, songwriter, arranger, and producer, William James "Willie" Dixon (1915-1992), artwork by William Stout for his "Legends of the Blues" portraits series, c. 2013.

MINI-OVERVIEW: "Willie Dixon is the author of what I consider to be the great American blues songbook. It seems like Mr Dixon wrote 90 per cent of what could be easily considered to be the blues’ greatest hits. My first drawing of a bluesman was an etching I created in my etching class in art school.

I was the original art director for the record company Varese Sarabande. Stopping in one day at Varese I discovered that Willie Dixon was living not too far from Bo Diddley in the San Fernando Valley. His LP, "I Am The Blues," was released on CD by Varese Sarabande. I will regret to the end of my life that I never met Mr. Dixon when I had the chance.

I dedicated "Legends Of the Blues" to two people: Robert Crumb and Willie Dixon. The sun beams emanating from behind Willie in my portrait were included because, in my humble opinion, the sun rises and sets on the great Willie Dixon."

-- WILLIAM STOUT (American painter/illustrator/blues music aficionado) on Willie Dixon

6 January 2023: Harlan County, Jim Ford. (2011 Light in the Attic reissue of 1969 Sundown/White Whale release)

I went into Reckless Records on Belmont Avenue specifically because their website said they had CD copies of Complicated Game by James McMurtry and Jackrabbit Slim by Steve Forbert. These are two artists I’m currently chasing. I don’t own the McMurtry at all, and only have the Forbert on vinyl and I want it for my iPod. Of course the digipak of the McMurtry album had an enormous rip down its spine, and the Forbert couldn’t be located anywhere. Typical ridiculous Reckless activity. As I scoured all sorts of sections, thinking maybe someone decided Steve Forbert needed to be filed under folk, I found two sealed copies of the 2018 reissue of this album on the Varese Sarabande label in the bins for $7.99. I’ve never heard anything by Jim Ford, but I recently read a feature on this album in, I believe, the “Buried Treasure” column of MOJO magazine and it sounded interesting. A bit later, while perusing the new arrivals country/folk CDs, I found a used copy of a different reissue of the album on Light in the Attic for roughly the same price. I liked that the Varese Sarabande version was sealed, but the Light in the Attic packaging just seemed a little cooler so I opted for that.

Above are the front and back covers.

Below is the opened gatefold.

Last, here is a shot of the disc in its tray. There is a booklet, but its front merely reproduces the album cover so I didn’t include it.

It’s day 6 of the #25daysofvinylmas challenge by @XOaudio_: Krampus: A Horror Soundtrack. Howard Shore - The Fly OST (Varese Sarabande, 1986) The perfect accomplice to David Cronenberg’s reimagining of the horror classic, Shore extracts all the complex emotions out of each scene and distills them in his themes, then orchestrates the results into a stunning symphony. My favorite of all his scores and one of the best soundtracks of all time! #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylgram #vinylgeek #vinylcollector #vinylcollection #records #vinylchallenge #vinylcommunity #decembervinylchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl2FMdLgyuL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

'Army of Darkness' Soundtrack Getting Record Store Day Exclusive Vinyl Release.

Maybe it's due to the ongoing pandemic, but this year's Record Store Day announcements were rather quiet and the August 29th event is creeping up fast.

While this year's vinyl hoarding festivities are sure to be hindered due to social distancing and many records store choosing to remain closed, there's still quite a few releases to get excited about, one of them being an all-new vinyl release of composer Joe LoDuca's soundtrack for Sam Raimi's 1990 classic Army of Darkness.

Newly remastered by LoDuca, the package also includes new notes and images and is the first ever vinyl release to contain the original movie art.

Varèse Sarabande explains, "Army of Darkness is a continuation of Raimi's Evil Dead series, which LoDuca also composed and also starred Bruce Campbell as Ash. Years later, LoDuca continued to score Evil Dead projects through the Starz series, Ash vs The Evil Dead, which ran from 2015–2018. Army of Darkness is musically distinct, however, in having a secondary composer contribution: Danny Elfman's (Batman, Pee-wee's Big Adventure) killer theme 'March of the Dead.'"

Limited to 2500 copies, the Army of Darkness soundtrack will only be available to purchase through RSD stores. A CD version is also currently available exclusively from Varèse Sarabande's website.

A New Journey

So I guess now I’ll find out how easy it is to get missing pages for a linear notes booklet in a limited-release soundtrack set available only from a single online retailer.

I’m sure you’ll all be on the edge of your seats for the result.
