The Beatles

Now & Then (Japanese Edition) 7"

Now and Then is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 2 November 2023. Dubbed "the last Beatles song", it appeared on a double A-side single, paired with a new stereo remix of the band's first single, "Love Me Do" (1962), with the two serving as "bookends" to the band's history. Both songs were included on the expanded re-issues of the 1973 compilations 1962–1966 and 1967–1970, released on 10 November 2023.

50 Years of Hip-Hop: The MC Crews

These reissues were made as a tribute to the genre of hip-hop's rough 50th Anniversary at large. Each volume represents an important facet of various artists to feature on incipient hip-hop label Tuff City: each release respectively dedicated to The Solo MC's, The MC Crews, The DJ's and The Female MC's. This time around, we're graciously presented with the Solo MC's on a unique LP and 7" bundle, corralling the likes of Spoonie Gee, Funkmaster Wizard Wiz, Grandmaster Caz, Whipper Whip, and of course, the many and only Ultramagnetic MC's into a singular braggadocious early hip-hop mix.

Simon & Garfunkel

Bookends (Reissue)

Bookends is the fourth studio album by Simon & Garfunkel. Produced by Paul Simon, Roy Halee and Art Garfunkel, the album was released on April 3, 1968, in the United States by Columbia Records. The duo had risen to fame two years prior with the albums Sounds of Silence and Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme and the soundtrack album for the 1967 film The Graduate. Bookends is a concept album that explores a life journey from childhood to old age. Side one of the album marks successive stages in life, the theme serving as bookends to the life cycle. Side two largely consists of unused material for The Graduate soundtrack. Simon's lyrics concern youth, disillusionment, relationships, old age, and mortality. Much of the material was crafted alongside producer John Simon, who joined the recording when Paul Simon suffered from writer's block. The album was recorded gradually over the period of a year, with production speeding up around the later months of 1967.
