Back in the day, Bob Dylan didn’t just make records, he made music – and he did it pretty much all the time, judging from the ongoing stream of archival releases. Offering 74 previously unreleased tracks on three discs, Bob Dylan – 1970 is drawn from the same sessions that produced the charming New Morning and the poorly received covers set Self Portrait, going beyond even the wide reach of those two albums.

The greatest UK female pop singer ever, Dusty Springfield was a student of American sounds. As a member of The Springfields (“Silver Threads and Golden Needles”), she performed Peter, Paul & Mary-style folk, while terrific early solo hits like “Stay Awhile” and “I Only Want to Be with You” showcased her gift for exuberant girl-group epics.

Taking a cue from the title of his 1997 memoir, “I Need More,” From KO to Chaos gathers up enough Iggy (with and without Stooges) to satisfy the hungriest of the hardcore, collecting seven CDs and a DVD issued by the great...
