NewsOut This Week / on 30 June 2017
The Beach Boys / 1967 Sunshine Tomorrow (2CD)
Kudos to Capitol/Universal who cram an incredible amount of archive material into this new Beach Boys set. Content includes a new stereo mix of Wild Honey, 30 previously unreleased outtakes/alternate mixes and shelved live album Lei’d In Hawaii. 
Various Artists / C88 (3CD set)
Another well-curated triple disc set from Cherry Red that offers some obscure (and not-so-obscure) indie-pop from the late eighties.
The Cure / Greatest Hits & Acoustic Hits (vinyl LP)
The 18-track Cure Greatest Hits album from 2001 is issued on black vinyl for the first time (having been issued as a vinyl picture disc for RSD earlier this year). The companion Acoustic Hits gets the same treatment.
Bryan Adams / Wembley 1996 Live (2CD)
This was issued on DVD last year, but now Eagle Rock are putting out a 2CD audio-only version of Bryan Adams‘ Wembley Stadium gig from 27 July 1996.
Elton John / Tumbleweed Connection (vinyl LP)
Universal continue with their Elton John vinyl reissues with his third long-player, 1970’s Tumbleweed Connection. All tracks remastered from the original analogue tapes by Bob Ludwig, with vinyl cutting by Sean Magee at Abbey Road Studios.

Got Shelleyan Orphan for 27 euro including postage from amazon.de.
It’s on the way today I am told.
Funny how it’s already released by One Little Indian records on 23rd, the official label,
but not released by amazon uk until the 30th.
I can’t wait for that Beach Boys release, even more than I did for ‘Pepper’! It’s got to be the archive release of the year.
I’m not a big Cure fan but I’ve ordered the Acoustic Hits LP, I quite like the sound of that.
Regarding Shelleyan Orphan: I read about it in the morning of Friday, June 23, 2017 on the release schedule on the Pause & Play site. I checked Amazon Canada (I live in British Columbia) and they said they had 2 copies available ($31.49 CAD). The price was so good that I ordered one (plus a book for my kid to get free shipping). It showed up the next day (Saturday) at about noon. I am not a Prime member and NEVER get anything that fast. It’s usually 10 days or more. I don’t know what happened but I’m very happy!
I just checked and they still have 1 copy left (as of June 26, 1:30 PT).
Paul, the Quo release is In Search Of The Fourth Chord, not the Third as per the artwork sleeve.
I wonder if they ever found it? ;-)
Oops. They definitely knew more than 2 chords :)
Hi – does anyone know where I could find a list of Elton John scheduled vinyl releases – as far as I can see from Amazon he seems to be releasing one a week from now on, but no news about it on his official website
Thanks SG, for the Shelleyan Orphan mention. Ordered from Amazon U.S. I’m sure Paul will be posting something regarding this release as it’s a pre-order on Amazon U.K. and Amazon U.S. is indicating one to two months fulfillment. I can cancel and reorder if U.K. price drops to best the U.S. site.
Wow, thanks for the heads up on the Shelleyan Orphan box set. I had no idea this was coming out. It looks like the USA Amazon price is quite low compared to other places.
Canada 150; with so many important names missing, this is probably the most pointless album ever released anywhere. Altogether now ‘Blame Canada, blame Canada”!! cont. South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut.
Just the fact it has 2 of the WORST Canadian acts ever…Nickelback & Justin Bieber, and missing key artists like Lisa Dalbello, Rita McNeil, Great Big Sea, Honeymoon Suite, Haywire and more…shows how slapdash this set really is…I would give this set a 5 out of 10, 6 tops…
Hi Paul! There is another Cherry Red 3cd comp called Milk Of The Tree: An Anthology Of Female Vocal Folk & Singer-Songwriters 1966-1973 which also looks pretty interesting. Cheers
Why no mention of the Shelleyan Orphan box set?
In search of the Fourth chord. They already know three!
The ‘read more’ link to Beach Boys Sunshine CD takes you to Purple Rain… Just a heads up!
Oops. Fixed.
