Reissues

A parting shot from the Loud Family hits its mark. Also, a previously unheard concert from Delta blues legend Son House, and CDs from Bailey Bigger and Bart Davenport.

Previously unheard baroque rock gems from the group that gave us the classic "Walk Away Renee." Also: a great reggae concert, Beatles covers by Indian artists, and more.

The fifth in a series of box sets covers David Bowie's work from 1992 through 2001 and includes a previously unreleased album called 'Toy.' Also reviewed: Elvis Costello's 'The Boy Named If.'

A deluxe version of Zappa's '200 Motels' fills six CDs. Also, a reissue of the 'Chelsea Walls' soundtrack, with music by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy; and Josh Caterer's latest.

The Band's fourth LP reappears as a 50th-anniversary box set, plus ABBA's first album in 40 years and a noteworthy Christmas CD.

The sixth and final studio album by the original Doors has been expanded to include more than two and a half hours of previously unavailable material.

The Pretenders' first two albums are expanded to three-CD sets with previously unreleased material.

The Rolling Stones' 'Tattoo You,' now available in a greatly expanded deluxe edition, could have easily ended up as a mess. Instead, it's often regarded as the group's last great album.

An expanded reissue offers a second chance to appreciate David Crosby's critically derided solo debut, which was also his last album under his own name for 18 years.

This is one of the most comprehensive and imaginatively assembled box sets ever released on any subject.
