Brief News Update for Monday April 18th, 2011

Hi everyone and my sincere apologies for lack of news update, in truth there really has been very little hitting my inbox in the way of press releases and nine times out of ten, when I go around the multitude of artists sites of late, there's little of nothing noteworthy there either.
So ..., I go searching elsewhere and sometimes little heads up, like notes from Amazon.com sharing info on upcoming releases 'you may enjoy, based on previous purchases from Amazon.com,' can sometimes be quite useful.
So here we go with two of those such releases, right off the bat! Cheers, Al


Sony's Extended Versions series provides two new goodies

Foreigner - Extended Versions II


Amazon.com shared this information with me, that I thought you may appreciate me sharing with you.

Customers who have purchased or rated 'Extended Versions' by Foreigner might like to know that 'Extended Versions II' will be released on April 19, 2011.
You can pre-order yours by following the link below.

All songs on this release were recorded live at the Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, TN, March 16, 2010 - on the band's 'Can't Slow Down' tour - with the exception of the album's title track, 'Can't Slow Down,' which was recorded live at 'Rock of Ages Festival,' Seebronn, Germany, July 31, 2010.
The thing about this one is that it is also available out there as part of a CD / DVD set, but if you're happy to just get the music, then this is certainly the budget way to get that recording!
I will say this though, the full concert recording that is on DVD officially, also included, 'Waiting For A Girl Like You' and 'When It Comes To Love,' as well as introductions, various band solo's, etc.

Album Track Listing:
1. Double Vision
2. Head Games
3. Cold As Ice
4. In Pieces
5. Dirty White Boy
6. Starrider
7. Feels Like The First Time
8. Urgent
9. Juke Box Hero
10. Can't Slow Down
11. I Want To Know What Love Is
12. Hot Blooded


And also ....

4. Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy
5. Electric Land

  1. I have never even heard a complete Streisand song before. I have always been strictly an instrumental jazz fan. I don't care for vocals, period. All I can say now is ... WOW! I heard one cut of the new release and was floored. Now I have the whole deluxe edition and it is sublime. Now I know what people have been talking about all these years. She stays true to these timeless standards and has an amazing emotional impact with her voice. Pure perfection!
