The sixties British documentary "Tonite Let's All Make Love In London"
was a sign of the times in swinging London, England 50 years ago. While
the movie may have opened many eyes to what was happening in the clubs
of London, the soundtrack was also as ground-breaking. It featured music
by Chris Farlowe, the Small Faces and a little known new band The Pink
Floyd. The soundtrack featured some of the first studio recordings of
Pink Floyd as well as Chris Farlowe's original version of "Out Of Time"
(made popular by The Rolling Stones). Mixed in between the music was
interviews with celebrities like Mick Jagger, Michael Caine and Julie
Christie, describing what they thought of the sixties London scene. To
celebrate the 50th anniversary of the "Tonite Let's All Make Love In
London" soundtrack, Immediate Records is releasing a newly remastered
version of the soundtrack on CD and on pink vinyl. To find out more

Space
rock supergroup Captain Beyond took the music world by storm in the
seventies, releasing 3 studio albums in 5 years. The band, consisting of
members of Deep Purple, Iron Butterfly and The Johnny Winter Band, was
asked by Duane Allman, after hearing their demo, to join the Allman
Brothers Band label Capricorn Records. Now, for the first time, those
demos from the band's first album are being released on CD and limited
edition red color vinyl.
The
new 10-song release begins with a song that did not appear on any
Captain Beyond album, "Uranus Highway," which sounds like if The Allman
Brothers Band became a progressive rock band. The demos sound very clean
for being buried for over 45 years. Songs like "I Can't Feel Nothing"
and "Ragin River Of Fear" showcase the potential this band had as they
combines elements of hard rock, southern rock and progressive rock to
give music a unique, original sound. To find out more about Captain
Beyond and the latest release "Lost & Found 1972-1973," please visit

British
singer/songwriter/guitarist Anthony Phillips was one of the founding
members of the band Genesis. After the band's second album "Trespass,"
Phillips left to concentrate on his solo career. He released his first
solo album in 1977 and continues to this day to recording music for
albums, television and movies. Cherry Red Records label, Esoteric
Recordings, is revisiting one of Phllips' albums for a new 2CD/DVD
deluxe edition. The album, "Slow Dance" was originally released in 1990
and features 2 instrumental tracks, "Slow Dance (Part 1 & Part 2)."
The music showcased Phillips range as a musician, mixing rock and
orchestral music to create a classical suite, but Phillips felt that the
album was unfinished.
The
new deluxe edition of the "Slow Dance" album features the original
music re-mixed and remastered on the first disc. The second disc
consists of "Slow Dance Vignettes" that were recorded in the studio to
help with the ideas of the full "Slow Dance" rock suite. With the
alternate mix of "No Way Out" and the addition of the "Clarinet Sleigh
Ride," you can image how different the "Slow Dance" album could have
sounded. The DVD features the original "Slow Dance" album in 5.1
surround sound, along with the original stereo mix of the album. To find
out more about Anthony Phillips and his latest expanded deluxe edition
of "Slow Dance," pleased visit cherryred.co.uk.
