SIDE NOTES
- Coming on June 4th is a new LP box set of Rod Stewart‘s first four Warner Bros. albums, titled, Rod Stewart 1975-1978. The collection also includes a bonus album of rare and unreleased studio outtakes from those albums: Atlantic Crossing (1975), A Night On The Town (1976), Footloose & Fancy Free (1977), and Blondes Have More Fun (1978).
- Also out now is Rod Stewart’s You’re In My Heart: Rod Stewart With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The album combines classic vocal tracks from Rod’s biggest hits along with newly recorded arrangements by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO).
- Last month, Cheap Trick released its 20th studio album, In Another Word. The set, which was produced by Julian Raymond, includes the band’s recent cover of John Lennon‘s 1971 Imagine classic, “Gimme Some Truth.”
- Cheap Trick frontman Robin Zander said in a statement announcing the album, “This band is held together by music. It’s the super glue that keeps us writing and putting records out. The reason we started the band in the first place was to tour and write songs and put records out. If all that went away, there would be no point then, would there?”
