'If on a Winter's Night' presents an arc of songs that conjure the season of spirits, the eerie silences of the snow; days of solitude and reflection for some, a time of re-birth and celebration for many.
With traditional music of the British Isles as their starting point, Sting and his guest musicians draw the listener in through a collection of songs, carols, and lullabies spanning the centuries - such as 'The Snow it Melts the Soonest' (traditional Newcastle ballad), 'Soul Cake' (traditional English "begging" song which has its roots in Halloween/All Souls Day), 'Gabriel's Message' (14th century carol), as well as two of Sting's own compositions - 'Lullaby for an Anxious Child' and 'The Hounds of Winter'. Also featured on the album is 'urdy Gurdy Man' - a musical reworking and English translation (by Sting) of Der Leiermann from Schubert's classic winter song-cycle Winterreise.

Ranked #1 in Kerrang Magazine's "100 Gigs That Shook The World" and voted as "Nirvana's #1 Greatest Moment" by fans in an NME poll, Nirvana's historic August 30, 1992 headlining appearance at the UK's Reading Festival is one of the most bootlegged concerts in the annals of rock'n'roll.
Now, fans will have an opportunity to own a pristine copy of that entire performance. Colour-corrected video from the original film with audio sourced from the original multi-track masters.
While the show's centerpiece was a performance of nearly the entire 'Nevermind' tracklist, also noteworthy were early performances of three as yet unrecorded songs which wouldn't be released until 2 years later on 'In Utero': 'All Apologies', 'Dumb', and in its first ever public performance, 'Tourette's'.
The career-spanning setlist also reached back to the band's 1989 Sub Pop debut album, 'Bleach,' for 'Blew,' 'About A Girl,' 'School,' 'Negative Creep' and first single 'Love Buzz,' and even further back to the mid-'80s for 'Spank Thru.'

PAUL WELLER ‘Paul Weller’ [Release Date 02/11/2009]
2CD: http://991.com/Buy/ProductInformation.aspx?StockNumber=488190
Remember how we started…
"I still really like the record - we weren't making it for any other reason than to make a record and it re-introduced real music to a lot of people again in the way it was made. We were coming out of the technology of the '80s, with those sterile recording methods, and it became about musicians playing live again and enjoying the experience." Paul Weller - 2009
This stunning 2-disc deluxe edition of Paul Weller's first solo album, originally released in 1992, follows the overwhelming success of the last few solo catalogue reissue projects – 'Stanley Road', 'Wild Wood' and 'Paul Weller At The BBC'.
Having split the Style Council and left his record label – Polydor, Paul was at something of a crossroads. He formed the Paul Weller Movement and started playing live shows again, initially to small crowds. He released the first solo single – 'Into Tomorrow' (included here in its original version, demo b-side and previously un-released 'acoustic' version) in 1990, on his own Freedom High label. Its modest (by his standards) top-40 chart placing secured a deal with new label – Go! Discs, who released the album in 1992.
Paul re-established his soul and r'n'b roots and influences with the new material, as well as his love of Curtis Mayfield, Donald Byrd, Traffic, Funkadelic, Blue Note jazz records and new groups - Gang Starr and A Tribe Called Quest. There was also a more experimental side with tracks like 'Kosmos' and a nod to the Acid Jazz and Talkin' Loud labels' scene.
The project has been personally overseen by Paul Weller and producer Brendan Lynch with unparalleled access to their archives. Digitally remastered – the original album features the classic hit singles Into Tomorrow, Uh Huh Oh Yeh & Above The Clouds. Packed with extras – 25 bonus tracks, demos, b-sides, mixes, alternative versions and unreleased songs.
Amongst the unreleased highlights are a demo of new song - The Bitter Truth, a stunning acoustic take on Abraham, Martin & John alternative versions of Round and Round, Kosmos, New Thing, Bitterness Rising and others.
The 28-page booklet features extensive new sleevenotes including brand new interviews with Paul, Brendan, Steve White and others. Also includes rare period photos and archive memorabilia.
ROLLING STONES ‘DIGITALLY REMASTERED’ LIVE REISSUES [Release Date 09/11/2009]
The live adventures of the Rolling Stones… Now remastered and sounding better than ever!
‘Love You Live’ 2CD: http://991.com/Buy/ProductInformation.aspx?StockNumber=488192
Originally issued as a double vinyl album in October 1977, 'Love You Live' captures the band at a time when their Canadian escapades were making headlines around the world. Released a year on from their triumphant appearance at the Knebworth Fair, it made the Top 5 on both sides of the
The album includes the acknowledged classics 'Honky Tonk Women', 'Happy' and 'You Can't Always Get What You Want', and the medley 'If You Can't Rock Me' / 'Get Off Of My Cloud' taped during the band's record-breaking run at
Going back to their rhythm'n'blues roots as if they were at the Crawdaddy Club or Eel Pie Island in the early sixties, they revived 'Mannish Boy', a song most commonly associated with the father of Chicago blues Muddy Waters, the Willie Dixon composition 'Little Red Rooster', made famous by Howlin' Wolf and a chart-topper for the Stones in 1964, and two more Chess label favourites, Bo Didley's 'Crackin' Up' and Chuck Berry's 'Around And Around'.
‘Still Life’ CD’: http://991.com/Buy/ProductInformation.aspx?StockNumber=488194
'Still Life (American Concert 1981)', to give the album its full title, was released in the summer of 1982, just as the group were headlining stadiums across Europe, and also made the Top 5 on both sides of the Atlantic.
Arguably the Stones' most commercially-successful live recording to date, it spawned two hit singles, their infectious take on The Miracles' 'Going To A Go-Go', and their revival of Jerry Ragovoy's 'Time Is On My Side', popularized by Irma Thomas and first recorded by the group in 1964.
It also includes a swaggering cover of Eddie Cochran’s Twenty Flight Rock as well as romps through the Stones sixties classics '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction', 'Under My Thumb' and 'Let's Spend The Night Together'.
‘Flashpoint’ CD: http://991.com/Buy/ProductInformation.aspx?StockNumber=488196
First issued in April 1991, 'Flashpoint' is a Stones live album with a difference, since it boasts two studio cuts exclusive to this release, the politically-charged 'Highwire,' a comment on the Gulf War reminiscent of the group's epochal 'Street Fighting Man,' and a Top 30 single in Britain, and the louche 'Sex Drive.'
The album charted at number 6 in the UK and featured outstanding versions of 'Ruby Tuesday' and 'Paint It Black' alongside the rockers 'Sad Sad Sad' and 'Rock And A Hard Place' from the 'Steel Wheels' album, as well as the rarely played 'Factory Girl,' from the seminal 'Beggars Banquet,' while guitar hero Eric Clapton guested on 'Little Red Rooster.'
‘Stripped’ CD: http://991.com/Buy/ProductInformation.aspx?StockNumber=488197
Having pioneered the concept of alternating big shows and back-to-basics gigs, the Stones put yet another spin on the live album with 'Stripped' in November 1995, and were duly rewarded with another Transatlantic Top Ten entry.
During the Voodoo Lounge tour, their first with bassist Darryl Jones, the greatest rock'n'roll band in the world simply kicked back in Lisbon and Tokyo studios and revisited Buddy Holly's 'Not Fade Away' and 'Little Baby', the Willie Dixon composition first recorded by Howlin' Wolf. They also cherry-picked highlights ['Shine A Light' & 'Angie'] from intimate shows at legendary venues like the Paradiso in
This low-key approach afforded the group the opportunity to explore its acoustic, country-flavoured repertoire, 'Wild Horses', 'Dead Flowers' and 'Sweet Virginia' in particular, though their inspired reworking of Bob Dylan's 'Like A Rolling Stone', from their memorable gig at London's Brixton Academy, remains the album's undisputed highlight. It duly became their biggest
‘Live Licks’ 2CD: http://991.com/Buy/ProductInformation.aspx?StockNumber=488198
Documenting the lengthy 2002-2003 tour in support of the career retrospective '40 Licks', 'Live Licks' is another great addition to the Stones' catalogue of concert recordings, and put in a strong chart performance on its release in November 2004.
The shows mixed best-loved songs with unexpected gems from the band’s huge back catalogue, and the two CDs mirror that approach. The first one comprises favourites such as 'It's Only Rock'n' Roll (But I Like It)' and 'Gimme Shelter' while the second one majors on rarely played deep cuts like 'Monkey Man', 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking', 'Rocks Off', 'Beast Of Burden', 'When The Whip Comes Down', 'Neighbours' and 'Worried About You' from the chart-topping albums 'Let It Bleed', 'Sticky Fingers', 'Exile On Main Street', 'Some Girls' and 'Tattoo You'.

Anthrax were pioneers of the American Metal scene, regarded as one of the 'Big Four' responsible for the emergence of speed and thrash metal. Combining the speed and fury of hardcore punk with the prominent guitars and vocals of heavy metal, they helped create a new subgenre of heavy metal.
In 1987, Anthrax released their third, and arguably their greatest, album 'Among The Living'. This double CD of concert recordings features the two
"Anthrax? The cover of 'Fistful of Metal' says it all. I bought that fucker when it came out in 84, without hearing even so much as a note. They haven't disappointed me since. Unmistakable riffs, mindfuck drumming and classic songs – they've opened too many doors to mention. Badasses. They are better than your band." - Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters
