Entire Output Of HEAVEN & HELL Gets A Box Set Haven

February 4, 2026

No matter what BLACK SABBATH fans expect from Tony Iommi to tackle next in terms of the band’s reissue programme, the release of "Anno Domini: 1989-1995" package, which included most of the Tony Martin era’s material, should have warned them that waiting for expansions of “Master Of Reality” or “Born Again” might be a little bit pointless. Indeed, what will arrive on March 27th doesn’t have anything to do with the gaps in the veterans’ box sets line: titled “Breaking Out Of Heaven: 2007-2009” and spread over four CDs and a Blu-ray, with seven-LP version offered too, it’s an entire output of HEAVEN & HELL.

STRAWBS’ BBC Archives Get Boxed Up

January 30, 2026

They may have established a special connection with radio later in the day, when Dave Cousins temporarily left music to rule the waves in a different way, but STRAWBS spend a lot of time playing for various Beeb programmes back in the late ’60s and throughout the next decade. Some of those recordings would see the light further down the line on two volumes of the “At The BBC” comp in 2010, others, those with visuals, ended up on YouTube, but there’s never been a comprehensive release that included everything – until now… although the five-CD and Blu-ray box set “A Glimpse Of Heaven” coming out on April 24th is not complete.

Suzi Quatro Duets With Alice Cooper On New Album

January 29, 2026

Unstoppable and tireless: these words perfectly describe Suzi Quatro whose work ethic is impeccable, with the lady’s latest string of records – two recent being 2021’s “The Devil In Me” and collaboration with KT Tunstall, "Face To Face" from 2023 – being nothing short of brilliantly infectious. And now, among all her touring on different continents, the miniscule warbler came up with another album which will see the light of day on March 27th and feature a duet with fellow Detroiter Alice Cooper.
