Wednesday, June 6th, 2012This is the week of anniversary editions, and I am all for celebrating Ziggy Stardust turning 40 and Graceland turning 25 – especially when it means 180-gram reissues.

And like mom, there are a lot of treasures in the vinyl department this week, from the long-anticipated release of Carole King’s legendary demos to collectible picture discs documenting the early years of both Santana and Guns N’ Roses. Or how about actress/producer Rita Wilson’s album […]
