Review: Long After Dark by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is a standout album that often doesn't get the recognition it deserves. This nearly ballad-free record, released in 1982, is a cohesive, energetic breakup album. While none of its tracks are typically ranked among Petty's top ten classics, six of the ten songs are essential Petty numbers, filled with prime-era vocal performances and engaging musical arrangements. This new remastered versions comes complete with 12 rediscovered tracks, enhances the sound, bringing more depth to the instrumentation. It's essential listening for Tom Petty fans and highly recommended for lovers of heartland rock. Released on turquoise makes this package extra special. Tracks like 'One Story Town', 'You Got Lucky', 'Deliver Me', 'Change of Heart', 'We Stand a Chance' and 'Straight Into Darkness' stand out, showing the band's great musicianship and Petty's songwriting at its peak. Even the more understated songs like 'Finding Out' have a solid rock energy that excites.'The Same Old You' and 'Between Two Worlds' channel a Rolling Stones-like vibe. Overall, this album is still one of Tom Petty's best.

Review: The Sunday was a beloved late 80s/early 90s indie rock band that released three acclaimed albums in both the European and US markets. Their debut, Reading, Writing and Arithmetic, was released in 1990 and became a chart success worldwide, riding on the success of their 1989 breakthrough hit 'Here's Where The Story Ends'. Lead singer Harriet Wheeler captivated audiences with her distinctive voice while the band delivered captivating hooks and grooves to complement her vocals, clocking in somewhere between the jangle of The Smiths and the darker hues of The Cure and the sonic sparkle of Cocteau Twins. After three albums with Rough Trade, Parlophone, and Geffen Records, they disappeared from the scene following 1997's Static & Silence. Now, a limited edition 180g black vinyl of Reading, Writing & Arithmetic is available having been remastered from the original analogue tapes.
