Stuff's all pretty much out for the Christmas season, so we're looking at some re-issues and dregs for the rest of the year.
Rhino does have a two disc re-issue of The Cure's debut album, Three Imaginary Boys.
More interesting to really cool people though, apparently the first CD issue of Gram Parson's International Submarine Band's Safe at Home album.
Oh, and there's a new Ludacris album.

Don't forget Eric Clapton with Sessions for Robert J as both CD/DVD and just a DVD alone. I just picked up the CD/DVD and it's excellent (haven't watched the DVD yet, being at work and all.) The CD covers some of the territory already covered on Me and Mr. Johnson earlier this year but they are different takes, and has a bunch more Robert Johnson tunes not on that disc. The DVD covers most of Johnson's material in both acoustic and electric settings.
I don't really care much for Clapton's non-blues output, but when he takes on the blues, it's pretty damned authentic and impressive.
