Riffs meet psychedelia


Return Of The Champions

Queen + Paul Rodgers/EMI

Come March, Queen joins Paul Rodgers, singer/songwriter of Bad Company, for the Spring 2006 tour of USA and Canada. The 23-day tour that kickstarts on March 3 will make history when some of the greatest rock anthems will be performed live. The compilation, that hits the music stores as a lead up to the tour, features anthems from the artistes. The next best experience to being there at the gig.

Far Beyond The Great Southern Cowboys' Vulgar Hits: The Best Of

Pantera/Warner

Yet another retrospective collection, this one is from one of the most influential bands of the metal genre, creative and heavy. Released originally in September 2003 as a compilation of 15 previously recorded tracks, including DVD with twelve music videos, the cover features a mixture of the band's first four studio album titles, starting with Cowboys from Hell, and songs from all of their five studio and live albums. Pantera's cover of Black Sabbath's Hole in the Sky is the only new material on this compilation.

The Very Best Of

Grateful Dead/Warner

Since 1991 the Dead released numerous live concerts from their archives, From the Vault and the Dick's Picks series (named for the band's late archivist, Dick Latvala) comprising two-track mixes from their recording included. This was followed by multi-disc soundtrack CDs of their shows. And in 2005 the Dead began offering downloadable versions of their Internet-only albums, including concerts.

This summer make way for the first-ever compilation bringing together the best of their Warner Bros., Grateful Dead Records, and Arista years on a single disc. A treat provided by the unique and eclectic song writing style and a generous helping of folk music, bluegrass and blues from the American psychedelia-influenced rock band of the 60s.

Tales Of a Librarian: The Very Best Of

Tori Amos/Warner

Make way for the first compilation of hits from her multi-platinum catalogue, remixed and remastered. Sixteen of Tori Amos' most popular songs, two re-recorded rarities and two brand-new tracks can be heard here for the first time.

Plus a bonus DVD featuring three newly filmed live songs and two remixed 5.1 audio tracks. Inarguably the first-ever definitive Tori Amos collection.
