Blues Masters at the Crossroads Concert Series Kicks Off With a Pair of Stunning 180gm Live LPs from Tab Benoit and Tony Joe White, Recorded a Year Apart at Blue Heaven Studios in Salina, Kansas
When I attended my first Blues Masters at the Crossroads event back on October 17 and 18, 2014, at Blue Heaven Studios in Salina, Kansas—i.e., inside “The Church” performance space that aligns at the very Midwestern intersection between Analogue Productions’ head honcho Chad Kassem’s very heart and soul—I only had a limited advance inkling of just what I’d be hearing that whole weekend.
The 25th Anniversary Record Doctor XI Vacuum Record Cleaning Machine
Just what the doctor ordered—quite literally. Pangea Audio has just announced that the Record Doctor XI, the 25th anniversary edition of the well-respected—and well-reviewed!—Record Doctor series of vacuum record cleaning machines (aka RCMs), will be shipping this month.

And because the speakers occupy most of his tiny living space, every time he opens his refrigerator, he has to move the couch.
Billy Idol’s Iconic, Fist-Pumping 1983 Rebel Yell LP Is Ready to Give Us More, More, More With 180g AAA One-Step DSS LP Coming on November 20
If I say, “in the midnight hour, I want more, more, more,” that can only mean one thing, right? That said, if you think I mean anything other than I want more vinyl, then you’re in the wrong place. Anyway, that statement of intent is my virtual curled-lipped, fist-pumping way of letting you know the fine folks at Interscope-Capitol have just announced Billy Idol’s breakthrough November 1983 Chrysalis LP Rebel Yell is soon getting the full all-analog Definitive Sound Series (DSS) treatment for its limited-edition 180g 1LP release on November 20,

The Rubber Soul 60th anniversary 180g 5LP super deluxe edition box set is arguably one of the most anticipated Beatles packages to date — and it has just been released by Capitol/Apple/UMe today, October 2, 2026.
