REVISIT THE DARKNESS WITH BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN’S ‘THE PROMISE’

Bruce Springsteen‘s The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story comprises over six hours of film and more than two hours of audio across 3 CDs and 3 DVDs or 3 Blu-ray discs. The music and film are packaged within an 80-page spiral-bound notebook containing facsimiles from Springsteen’s own notebooks from the original recording sessions, which include alternate lyrics, song ideas, recording details, and personal notes in addition to a new essay by Springsteen and never-before-seen photographs.

Containing a wealth of previously unreleased material, The Promise (also available in 2CD or 3LP versions) offers an unprecedented look into Springsteen’s creative process during a defining moment in his career.

“Darkness was my ‘samurai’ record,” Springsteen writes, “stripped to the frame and ready to rumble. But the music that got left behind was substantial.” For the first time, fans will have access to The Promise – two discs containing a total of 21 previously-unreleased songs from the Darkness recording sessions – songs that, as Springsteen writes, “perhaps could have/should have been released after Born To Run and before the collection of songs that Darkness on the Edge of Town became.”

Highlights of The Promise include the extraordinary rock version of “Racing in the Street,” the never-before-released original recordings of “Because the Night” and “Fire,” the supreme pop opus “Someday (We’ll Be Together),” the hilarious “Ain’t Good Enough for You,” the superb soul-based vocal performance on “The Brokenhearted,” the utterly haunting “Breakaway,” and the fully orchestrated masterpiece and title song “The Promise.”

West Coast Seattle Boy – The Jimi Hendrix Anthology tracks Jimi Hendrix‘s remarkable journey from little known R&B sideman to international stardom through an unprecedented assemblage of previously unavailable recordings.

This long-awaited career-spanning box set is not a collection of existing Jimi Hendrix albums, but instead 45 unreleased Jimi Hendrix live and studio recordings, including demos and alternate versions of songs from Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold As Love and Electric Ladyland. West Coast Seattle Boy includes Hendrix’s never before heard version of Bob Dylan’s “Tears Of Rage,” solo acoustic recordings of Electric Ladyland favorites like “Long Hot Summer Night” and “1983 (A Merman I Shall Turn To Be)”as well as never before heard live performances from Berkeley and the legendary Band Of Gypsys Fillmore East concert on New Year’s Eve 1969, combined together with such new Hendrix songs as “Hear My Freedom,” “Hound Dog Blues,” “Lonely Avenue” and more.

West Coast Seattle Boy offers the most complete collection of Jimi’s pre-Experience R&B performances (including his singles with the Isley Brothers, Little Richard, Don Covay, King Curtis and more) to ever be officially anthologized while bringing together the most comprehensive and revelatory set of unreleased, fully realized songs, never before heard live performances, alternate studio takes, acoustic and electric demos and other rarities drawn from every chapter of Jimi Hendrix remarkable life and career.

West Coast Seattle Boy includes the 9- minute DVD Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child, a new documentary directed by the Grammy award-winning Bob Smeaton (Beatles Anthology, Festival Express, Beatles: The Studio Recordings). The acclaimed documentary tells Jimi’s incredible story in his own words. The documentary features some of Jimi’s greatest performances, as well as rare and never before seen footage and photos. Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child also includes — for the first time ever—examples from the Hendrix family archive of the late guitarist’s personal drawings, postcards home to his father, song drafts, sketches and lyrics. Jimi’s interviews and private writings shed new insights within the extraordinary life and career of the greatest guitarist of all time.

NEW DVD/BLU-RAY: ‘SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD’ IN MULTIPLE FORMATS!

November 9, 2010 - DVD and Blu Ray , On Sale , Recommended , The Record Exchange Blog - by - No Comments

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a finger-blistering time capsule of right now, yet in a hundred years it will still be so crammed with charm, wit, brio and exuberance it will still be irresistible.

Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera, Superbad) is an accidental heartbreaker, a Canadian slacker who obsesses over the girls who’ve dumped him but hardly realizes how he’s dumped other girls. But everything else in his life (including playing bass in a band) fades to insignificance when he lays eyes on Ramona (Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Live Free or Die Hard), his deadpan pixie dream girl.

Unfortunately, Ramona has some serious baggage: seven deadly exes, and Scott must battle them all if he wants to date Ramona. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is saturated in pop culture, particularly video games. Many events make almost no sense, but it doesn’t matter — sheer narrative ferocity and glee of invention sweep the viewer along. Cera pushes his geek/dork dreamboat persona to new heights of sweet twee-ness; if this movie doesn’t shoot him into the stratosphere, we live in a cold, unfeeling universe, bereft of justice.

The whole supporting cast (including Kieran Culkin, Jason Schwartzman, Anna Kendrick, Chris Evans, Brandon Routh, and a host of less familiar but excellent young actors) plays every moment for all it’s worth. This movie is supremely uncool and passionate, which makes it essential viewing.
