Class Covers |
Special Ops reports: Shooting to international
superstardom with 1981's release Working Class Dog, (which sprung the classic
single "Jessie's Girl"), Rick Springfield has remained a music-obsessed
workaholic throughout the span of his thirty plus year entertainment career.
His latest album The Day After Yesterday finds Springfield revisiting some
of the tracks that influenced his style such as Mister Mister's "Broken
Wings" (with original vocalist Richard Page), 10CC's "I'm Not in Love",
and The Dream Academy's "Life in a Northern Town", as well as an original
song titled "Cry". Springfield explains, "I've always wanted to record
these songs; they have been favorites of mine for a long time. They are
songs I wish I'd written. I wanted to be faithful to the originals but
still treat them a little differently and also give them the benefit of
the new technology. Plus, I wanted to see if it would be easier and less
painful doing a CD of songs I hadn't written...and it was."[see full story

Day Live EP |
Epic reports: Epic Records has announced a
December 6th release date for LIVE FROM..., the new concert EP from acclaimed
singer-songwriter Howie Day. The seven-song disc was recorded in various
parts of the country this past summer, when Day was touring in support

The disc captures Day at his best: in a
live setting, performing sharp, literate songs wrapped in beautiful melodies
and soft textures. Though known for his unique one-man-band approach to
performing, in which he employs live loop sampling and delay pedals to
create rhythms, melodies and backing vocals, the EP features Day with a
full backing band. - Click

Reunion |
Reader Submission reports: Rockandi - the
band who was fronted by Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil is planning a reunion
in either Southern California or Las Vegas. Rockandi was very popular in
the LA club scene and had a huge following before Vince left the band to
join Motley Crue. The event is scheduled for Late February or Early March.
No word yet whether Vince will appear with his former band mates. Vince,
Guitarist James Alverson, Bassist Joe Marks and drummer Robert Stokes have
not played together since 1981 and many fans of Rockandi & the Crue
are hoping the event will take place with Vince attending to resume his
role as singer of Rockandi for one night.- Click

Nick Statement |
Victory reports: I'm laying here in the hospital,
awaiting my surgery tomorrow. To clear up any questions, I broke my back
( L4 vertebrae ). I'm very lucky to not be paralyzed. I was thrown through
the window of our rolling van, after hitting a patch of ice. I have a full
torso cast on, keeping my back straight. I just started eating again so
now I can take some percoset which helps with my intense back pain. All
in all, Ill be ok and the minute I can have a bass in my hand and be playing
in front of people again I will. It's all I know how to do and the only
thing that makes me happy.
Once hearing about all of the support from
friends, bands and fans, my spirits where immediately uplifted. All we
have in this world are each other, and in times of tragedy, you find out
who is by your side until the end and who is bulls***. Thankfully our music
community surrounds us by mostly heartfelt people who are going out of
their way to help us in our time of need and to help us keep our dream
alive.[see full story for more]- Click

Box |
Press Release reports: While Fleetwood Mac
is best known to pop music fans for their soft rock hits, it's their early
work before Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham joined the group that is
often heralded as their most important and influential. On November 1st,
Sanctuary Records will release a 3-CD box set of this era, Men of The World
- The Early Years, capturing the band's blues period of the late 1960s
and their recordings with legendary guitarist Peter Green.
Men of The World - The Early Years revists
Fleetwood Mac's legacy from 1968 through 1970. While the first disc concentrates
on their early blues and R&B roots; disc two contains some of their
more experimental, neo-psychedelic work studio work, in particular the
sessions for the Then Play On album; disc three offers up some of the blistering
live performances the band were legendary for. Several of these live tracks
are taken from the celebrated Live In Boston gigs, which are considered
by many to be the apex of Fleetwood Mac and Peter Green's career. All songs
have been digitally remastered, and the extensive liner notes were written
by Fleetwood Mac historian Neil Mr. Blues" Slaven.[Clapton is God... Peter
Green is better than God... see full story for more]-
