Verve/Remixed2--Verve Records lets DJs have at their catalog for the 2nd time. Among the results: Gotan Project reworking Sarah Vaughan's "Whatever Lola Wants" and Dan the Automator reworking Willie Bobo's "Fried Neckbones and Some Home Fries". Heard about this on NPR Friday and just had to pick it up. Very cool...reminiscent of what US3 did with the Blue Note catalog in the 90s.
Johnny Cash--At San Quentin (The Complete 1969 Concert): After his death on Friday, I felt compelled to pick up one of his classics. Sony decided to include the whole concert, remaster it, and update the liner notes. And I picked it up for $9.
(Sony has apparently redone a good chunk of his catalog, along with creating various collections. And the CDs are generally cheap: $6-10. Good deal!)
