The Guess Who: "All This For A Song"
While its place in the Guess Who catalogue is controversial, this release will no doubt be welcomed by many Guess Who collectors worldwide.
The Guess Who: "Guess Who's Back"
The album, for the most part, is pretty dismal as a "Guess Who" album. For fans
of the Guess Who, this album does not exist and is not a Guess Who work.
Milkwood Tapestry: "Milkwood Tapestry"
Over thirty years after its original release, fans will finally be able to discover what made the band so sought after and praised in collectors circles.

Captures the excitement and musical prowess that made the original Lynyrd Skynyrd one of the best live bands of the 70's.
Brutus: For The People
Brutus is another one of Canada’s long lost bands that have been waiting to be rediscovered.
Brave Belt: Brave Belt I/II
The album was a departure from the sound of Guess Who and had a country feel to it complete with steel guitar and fiddles.

There is not really anything on this edition of the album that one would miss if they owned an earlier remastered version...
The Who: "Live at Leeds"
This latest two-disc edition of the Who’s Live At Leeds concert recorded February 14, 1970, at Leeds University should be the final and definite version of this performance.
Fancy: "Wild Thing / Turns You On"
Originally released as a single in 1973, the Fancy version of "Wild Thing" sank without a trace in England but when it was released in North America in 1974, it exceeded everybody's expectations and became an instant hit world wide.
