The EP’s ’92–’94 is an essential early-career compilation by acclaimed British singer-songwriter David Gray. Released in 2001 by Virgin and Hut Recordings following the massive international success of White Ladder, this 10-track collection gathers sought-after material from Gray's earliest UK EPs, singles, and B-sides recorded between 1992 and 1994 during the era of his first two albums, A Century Ends and Flesh. Offering a raw, intimate look at his acoustic roots, the compilation highlights Gray's distinctive, raspy vocal delivery and poignant songwriting. Sparser and more stripped-down than his later electronic-influenced pop work, the album relies heavily on bare guitar arrangements, impassioned lyrics, and folk-soul intensity reminiscent of Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. Featuring fan favorites such as Birds Without Wings, Shine, Wisdom, and Coming Down, The EP’s ’92–’94 stands as a compelling testament to the early artistic development of one of modern folk rock's defining voices.

Simon and Garfunkel are undoubtedly one of the most successful songwriting duos of the 60s, reaching a similar level of popularity to the Beatles during the latter part of the decade. This Definite Collection shows what a diverse duo they really were and how many memorable tunes they performed together. Though many were put off by the pair's more sterile folk-rock arrangements and clean choirboy harmonies, this collection shows that there was much more to their artistic palette. Songs such as "Homeward Bound", "I Am a Rock", "Cecilia" and "Mrs Robinson" all show that the duo could rock with the best of them and "The Sound of Silence" and "Bridge over Troubled Water" are just some of the beautifully timeless records the pair gave us. It may not be as definitive as it claims but this is a great collection featuring some of their best and most well known works.

Highly praised across Australia and taking home the ARIA Music Award for Best Adult Contemporary Album in 1995, Brood features standout tracks like "I've Got A Plan", "Throwing It Away", and "Jimmy Stynes".

Released in 2021 on Arlette Records, Heart Of A Mother is the deeply moving fourth studio album from Belgian singer-songwriter Gertjan Van Hellemont, operating under the moniker Douglas Firs. Written and recorded in his home attic studio during an intense period of conflicting life events—the passing of his mother and grandmother alongside the news of becoming a father—the album captures pure, unfiltered grief and joy. Mixed by Kevin Ratterman (My Morning Jacket, Ray LaMontagne), the release balances intimate acoustic guitar and piano arrangements with subtle Wurlitzer, synths, and warm band backing.

Released in 2017 on True North Records, Medicine Songs is a powerful collection of activist anthems, protest classics, and newly re-recorded works by legendary singer-songwriter and Indigenous icon Buffy Sainte-Marie. Spanning over five decades of political and social activism, the compilation features fierce anti-war, environmental, and Indigenous rights tracks including "Universal Soldier", "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee", "Starwalker", "No No Keshagesh", and the powerful duet "You've Got to Run (Spirit of the Wind)" featuring Tanya Tagaq.

One minute The Action were the ultimate mod cult band, belting out exuberant Anglicised approximations of Tamla/soul material in clubs across the country, the next they’d shed singer Reggie King and mutated into questing countercultural adventurers Mighty Baby.
Under the leadership of guitarist Martin Stone, they would become increasingly insular as four of the five band members converted to Islam and they moved slowly towards a more improvised sound. By the end of 1971, fasting for Ramadan had left them almost too weak to perform onstage, at which juncture they came to the reluctant conclusion that rock’n’roll and the Muslim faith were incompatible.
Over the previous three years, however, they made some magical, mystical music that is now collected under one roof for the first time…

Knocked Out Loaded is the twenty-fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on July 14, 1986 by Columbia Records. The album was received poorly upon release, and is still considered by some critics to be one of Dylan's least-engaging efforts. However, the 11-minute epic "Brownsville Girl", co-written by Sam Shepard, has been cited as one of his best songs by some critics. Sales for Knocked Out Loaded were weak, as it peaked at No. 53 on U.S. charts and No. 35 in the UK. The album's highest chart position was in Norway, where it peaked at No. 9.

Lark in the Morning: The Early Years is a mid-priced, two-disc rendering of the band's first three records. Remastered for the first time, Hark! the Village Wait, Please to See the King, and Ten Man Mop are featured in their entirety, and in their original sequence, making this an absolute necessity for fans, and a perfect entry point for the uninitiated. Steeleye Span are masters of arrangement, and nowhere is that more evident than on their debut. Though familial tension ran high during its recording, Hark! the Village Wait yielded some of the most agreeable tunes the band ever laid to tape. Beginning with the a cappella "A Calling-On Song," the group established itself as peerless singers, utilizing the dual lead vocals of sirens Gay Woods and Maddy Prior to a tee, particularly on "My Johnny Was a Shoemaker" and "Dark Eyed Sailor." The lineup is legendary, rivaling only Fairport Convention in their Sandy Denny/Richard Thompson heyday. Ashley Hutchings, Dave Mattacks, Tim Hart, future Pogue Terry Woods, and Gay and Maddy produced a landmark album that continues to inspire countless musicians and fans alike.
