Here are few new music releases on vinyl that I am looking forward to this year.
This is the fifth year of Rhino Recordsâ Start Your Ear Off Right program, which is designed to enliven the dull music month of January with several LP releases each week. Most of the releases are reissues or have never been available on LP before.
So far this month, the program has released music from The Cars, Talking Heads, k.d. lang, and Norah Jones with Billie Joe Armstrong.
The releases set for Friday, Jan. 22, are two titles by Genesis, Dire Straitsâ entire catalog sans the live record and âNuggets: Original Artyfacts From the First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968.â

The Greenwich Village of the 1960s was a carnival of music, literature, poetry, coffee houses, free love, fashion and great ethnic food. The neighborhood’s heartbeat was Bleecker Street, where one could hear the soon-to-be-discovered Bob Dylan at The Village Gate, or Joni Mitchell at The Bitter End.
1967 saw the arrival of Village Oldies on Bleecker Street, a record store offering doo-wop, disco, rock and roll, blues, garage, and rare overseas finds. This open-all-night mecca of music soon became the late-night hang for the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa, and was where an aspiring poet/singer named Patti Smith met store clerk and musician Lenny Kaye.
