Welcome back to the Working Week.

We have an update concerning the Van Morrison albums that we posted a review of last week. It is important to note that the albums were not re-mastered in the expected sense but were transferred from the analogue tapes to to new digital masters. The resulting works obviously sound very good as I've received emails to that effect. Rhino is releasing the same three in LP format uisng the same technique. Please make your ordering decisions based on this piece of information.

As for the Black Sabbath poll, the email votes are still coming in.  This is the final week. Next Monday we'll have the results.  Don’t forget to vote for your favourite Black Sabbath album in this Poll.

We're providing three full reviews today, two of them being collections from familiar artists. Those familiar artists are Argent with the collection called The Singles Collection, and the 2CD Old Records Never Die, The Mott the Hoople/Ian Hunter Anthology. We finish the day out with a debut album review by Jann Klose called Reverie.

I'm including a link to stream the new single from Keane called "Spiralling." Enjoy it.

I have another streaming link for you, this one of "Did You Miss Me" by Lindsay Buckingham from his recently released Gift of Screws. I'm also including a Quicktime stream as well.

We'll see you back on Wednesday with more.

If you have missed the last As The Disc Spins (updated), check it out here.

Epic Records will release a Blu-ray DVD from Tenacious D called The Complete Masterworks 2. This is currently scehduled for November 4th.

There are a lot of Playlist series titles coming from a varielty of artists. These 'best-of' selections are assembled with an eye to putting together an expansive but well-rounded collection. These include not only the best hits but also the popular album cuts, rarities, and such to create a different kind of album collection. You can watch for Playlist titles from Amerie; Tony Bennett; Tony Braxton; The Byrds; C&C Music Factory; Diamond Rio; Earth, Wind & Fire; Marvin Gaye; Fuel; Herbie Hancock; Jefferson Starship; Living Color; The O'Jays; Omarion; and Frank Sinatra. All titles are expected for release on October 28.

LaFace Records will release the new album by Pink called Funhouse. The album will be issued in both PA and Edited forms on October 28.

Finally, Mobile Fidelity has some fine SACD news for us. In November of this year (date undetermined at this point), they will release SACD versions of Fool for the City by Foghat, and What's Going On by Marvin Gaye. Both of these '70s classics SACDs will list for $29.99 and can be ordered direct from Mobile Fidelity.

After Rod Argent's departure from The Zombies, he formed a resilient band that has produced some memorable songs, some even hits for other bands. This collection overviews Argent's songs and does a fine job of it. The Singles Collection for the releases of Argent is a fine issue.

The music of Jann Klose is given a welcome in his new album, Reverie. Written and recorded over several years, Reverie is a promising album from a developing solo artist that understands a little about the life that surrounds us.
