Originally published to glowing reviews in 1972, Dow Mossman's extraordinary debut is a sweeping coming-of-age tale that developed a passionate cult following. It recently inspired the award-winning documentary film Stone Reader, described by Peter Rainer of New York magazine as "a marvelous literary thriller that gets at the way books can stay with people forever." Rendered with breathtaking artistry and emotional depth, The Stones of Summer captures the beauty and pain of postwar America. Its vivid evocation of culture-void Iowa in the ’50s and ’60s reveals in layer after layer of richly observed detail the maturation—the very soul—of an artist. Its rediscovery was the catalyst for one filmmaker to confront his faith in the power of great literature to endure, and it can now be embraced by readers everywhere.

One of Rolling Stone's top 100 albums of the decade, Rated R from Queens Of The Stone Age marks its 10th anniversary with the expanded, two-CD Rated R - Deluxe Edition (Interscope/UMe). Added to the original album is a second disc with six B-sides and the band's memorable summer 2000 Reading Festival concert--featuring nine previously unreleased songs, including live versions of Rated R's "Feel Good Hit Of The Summer," "The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret," "Better Living Through Chemistry" and "Quick And To The Pointless." The B-sides are "Ode To Clarissa"; "You're So Vague," a spoof of Carly Simon's "You're So Vain"; covers of Romeo Void's "Never Say Never" and the Kinks' "Who'll Be The Next In Line"; a live version of the album's "Monsters In The Parasol"; and a re-recording of "Born To Hula," an early QOTSA song. The other Reading Festival tracks are concert takes on "Ode To Clarissa," three songs from the band's debut album ("Regular John," "Avon" and "You Can't Quit Me, Baby"), and "Millionaire," a song originally from Josh Homme side project Desert Sessions. Issued in June 2000, Rated R was QOTSA's breakthrough, the band's second album but first on a major label. Led by singer-songwriter Homme and emerging from influential California desert rockers Kyuss, QOTSA debuted with a self-titled album in 1998 that instantly earned the group accolades. After a tour, QOTSA returned to the studio with Homme's long-time collaborator and co-producer Chris Goss (of Masters of Reality) as well as former Kyuss bassist-singer-songwriter Nick Oliveri. The result was Rated R, which guested Screaming Trees' Mark Lanegan (lead vocals on "In The Fade") and Judas Priest's Rob Halford (backing on "Feel Good Hit Of The Summer"). But it was the anthemic "The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret" which became the band's most popular song. A gold album, four Grammy nominations, seven more Modern Rock Top 40s and 10 years later, Queens Of The Stone Age return this summer to the Reading Festival and revisit a landmark album with Rated R - Deluxe Edition.

For the first time on one CD, Raven presents two original albums from the purveyors of some of the finest Californian folk-rock of the 1960s - THE STONE PONEYS. The Stone Poneys Featuring Linda Ronstadt and Evergreen Vol. 2 (both 1967) helped define a sound and style that remains pure and enticing to this day. As writer Richie Unterberger states in his liner notes, lead singer Linda Ronstadt's clear powerful vocals were the band's focal point and strongest asset. Their debut album is dominated by close harmonies and strong original material by the group's guitarists Bob Kimmell and Ken Edwards - `Sweet Summer Blue and Gold', `All the Beautiful Things' - plus sublime covers of Fred Neil's `Just a Little Bit of Rain' and the traditional `Wild about My Lovin'. The follow up LP contained their biggest hit, the memorable cover of Mike Nesmith's `Different Drum' (Billboard Pop #13) plus other songs in a similar vein like `December Dream', `Autumn Afternoon' and the two-part `Evergreen'. The band broke up recording their third album, leaving Ronstadt to finish it with session-men. Highlights included covers of Nesmith's `Some of Shelly's Blues', Laura Nyro's `Stoney End' and Tim Buckley's `Hobo' - added here as bonus tracks - which gave an indication of the country-rock direction Ronstadt would pursue as part of her enormously successful solo career into the 1970s. With detailed liner notes, period images and superb audio quality. Raven. 2008.

In 1968, the Summer of Love was exerting it's influence on pop and fashion trends and, in the UK, many of the previous year's Mod movement were heeding the call to 'get your head together, man' and go 'progressive'. The Action had been one of the most respected of London's mod bands but in late '68, founder members guitarist Alan King, bassist Mike Evans and drummer Roger Powell were joined by pianist lan Whiteman and ex-Savoy Brown guitarist Martin Stone in a brand new band Mighty Baby. The group's 1969 debut album Mighty Baby was strong on melody and instrumental technique and Egyptian Tomb is a perfect summation of what the band's recorded music was all about. 'Live', they extended their performances, as did most groups of the era. Stone's guitar soloing being lauded for its imaginative approach. They cut a second album A Jug Of Love before disbanding. Stone later formed Chilli Willi And The Red Hot Peppers while King became a member of pub-rock band Ace. This CD reissue combines their first album with 5 tracks made when King, Evans and Powell were still The Action and the sleeve notes by Record Collector magazines John Reed chart the history of one of the best of the late 60s/early 70s 'head' bands.

Quick and to the point, Sasquatch is about as close as Small Stone is going to get to signing a local band from right here in the Motor City (hey, two out of three members ain’t bad). But make no mistake: this is no watered down MTV-friendly garage rock band. Our boys from Sasquatch eat, drink, and breathe rock’n’roll. From the top of their Mojave stacks to the toes of their electro harmonix pedals, these three down-to-earth guys simply love to rock – and they do it with a sincerity not often seen in today’s world of plastic pop and gimmicky garage. Formed in Los Angeles back in 2001 by Philadelphia transplant Keith Gibbs and Detroit natives Rick Ferrante and Clayton Charles, Sasquatch has had the pleasure of refining their own brand of super heavy, bone crunching rock’n’roll onstage with some of LA’s finest, including Fireball Ministry, Nebula and Unida. Drawing on influences from ‘70s metal, rock and psychedelia, their songwriting approach is simple, relying on the theories of feel and technique, a sorely missed aspect of most modern day rock amalgamations. But don’t let their technique fool you; tight as they may be, the kid gloves come off when they play. Just ask any of the folks who were down in Austin earlier this year at SXSW 2004: Sasquatch handed the crowd at the Room 710 its’ inebriated ass on a platter. When you finally get a chance to see the band live, you will fully comprehend what we are talking about. Make no mistake, the name Sasquatch fits these simple Midwestern boys: the songs are big, the guitar solos are hairy and their debut is comin’ screaming out of the forest in late summer 2004. The band will hit the road this fall, most likely making an appearance at this year’s CMJ Music Marathon. Get your cameras ready and prepare for Sasquatch.

The Fitzpatrick children unknowingly inherit a quest to save the world. The story begins in Manhattan where twelve year old Lillian is struggling to make sense of her parent's impending divorce. She and her younger brother James are uprooted and sent away to West Virginia to spend the summer with their eccentric grandmother who claims that her apricot, marmalade-colored Victorian house was built by pirates who grew tired of their adventures at sea. On their first night in this new and strange place, they find themselves transported into an even more bizarre universe. Both of them are shrunken down to the size of a mite on a flea and discover they are lost inside the world of their grandmother's magical brooch. In this new netherworld, they meet a weak sorceress, who convinces them that not only are they her only hope of survival, but if they don't succeed in learning the lessons of the stones, they will remain trapped with no hope of escape and the Dark will have triumphed. Armed with their resolve and new partners, Lillian's polar bear slippers who have come to life, along with James' plastic dinosaur who has done the same, they encounter a host of incredible characters that spring to life within the stones of the brooch. Together, both brother and sister discover how strong they really are and this prepares the Fitzpatrick s for their true mission first, save themselves and then save the world.

Blaze Werla is having a routine summer. He spends his days alone, wandering around the hill next door, and his nights awake, avoiding the dreams that haunt him.

By the time he meets outgoing Joselle Stark, Blaze finds himself in entirely new territory, where the unexpected seems almost normal.

The story of a man in love with a place, a woman, and a dream. Tom Stone went to Greece one summer to write a novel -- and stayed twenty-two years. On Patmos, he fell in love with Danielle, a beautiful French painter. His novel completed and sold, he decided to stay a little longer. Seven idyllic years later, they left Patmos for Crete. When a Patmian friend Theológos called and offered him a summer partnership in his beach tavérna, The Beautiful Helen, Stone jumped at the chance -- much to the dismay of his wife, who cautioned him not to forget the old adage about Greeks bearing gifts. Her warning was well-founded: when back on Patmos, Stone quickly discovered that he was no longer a friend or patron but a competitor. He learned hard lessons about the Greeks' skill at bargaining and business while reluctantly coming to the realization that Theológos's offer of a partnership was indeed a Trojan horse. Featuring Stone's recipes, including his own Chicken Retsina and the ultimate moussaka, The Summer of My Greek Tavérna is as much a love story as it is the grand, humorous, and sometimes bittersweet adventures of an American pursuing his dreams in a foreign land, a modern-day innocent abroad.
