Judas Priest |
Chipsters reports: Columbia Records/Legacy
Recordings will release the two-CD set 'The Essential Judas Priest' on
April 4, 2006. Judas Priest rocketed out of the tough steel town of Birmingham,
England, more than three decades ago, and the 34 songs collected here form
nothing less than the very backbone -- the pure essence -- of heavy metal.
This uncompromising style of rock 'n' roll has earned a remarkably loyal
fan base worldwide and no other band defines heavy metal better than Judas
Priest.
All the songs on 'The Essential Judas Priest'
are the complete original studio album versions featuring the Halford/Tipton/Downing/Hill
axis -- from the 1976 landmark 'Sad Wings Of Destiny' through the astonishing
2005 reunion platter 'Angel Of Retribution'. [see full story for more]-

Ferrer Release |
Kayos Productions reports: On January 31,
2006, Locomotive Records will release Toda Una Vida, the first posthumous
recording by the revered Buena Vista Social Club vocalist Ibrahim Ferrer
(1927-2005).
When American guitarist/producer Ry Cooder
kickstarted international interest in worldbeat music by teaming up with
director Wim Wenders for the 1999 award-winning documentary, Buena Vista
Social Club, it led to a resurgence of interest in the swirling rhythms
and salsa-soaked beats of Classic Cuban Sound.
It also revitalized Ferrer's career. At
the time of the movie, Ferrer's vocal glories were long past. He was living
in a decaying apartment, shining shoes in Havana. Buena Vista Social Club
founder Juan de Marcos Gonzalez searched for him, found him on a daily
stroll, and enlisted his aid.[see full story for more]-

St. Claire Metal TV |
Press Release reports: Former adult film and
wrestling star Jasmin St. Claire has reinvented herself once again, this
time as host of "The Metal Scene TV Show", L.A.'s hottest new heavy metal
television show. Reached for comment, St. Claire remarked that "I've been
immersed in the extreme metal scene for years- both a fan and a personality
via my work as spokesmodel for B.C. Rich and Coffin Case, and more recently
as host of the DVD-Zine 'Metal's Dark Side', which is due in stores this
spring. I'm honored to add 'The Metal Scene' to my resume. While there
is some national profile for mainstream heavy metal and in recent years
for Nu Metal, there are literally dozens of sub-genres of metal that go
unacknowledged and unheard on any mainstream level every day. I'm excited
to be a part of bringing some of the most exciting new metal music from
the underground out into the mainstream via this television show." St.
Claire's early interviews will include profiles of bands including Children
of Bodom, Wycked Wisdom, and God Forbid, among others. Finally, this summer,
St. Claire will release her highly-anticipated, tell-all authorized autobiography!
