Motorhead - Ace of Spades Deluxe Box Set - (7 LP + EP + DVD)
On the occasion of 2020 being the 40th anniversary of the classic Motorhead album Ace of Spades, the record gets the deluxe box set treatment in, well, spades. First and foremost, the Ace of Spades album is included in a half-speed master version, which means the music will rattle and rock the listener more clearly than ever. Then, also included are two double live albums, previously unheard and that were recorded on the Ace Up Your Sleeve tour, a 10" EP of previously unreleased instrumental tracks from 1980, a double album packed with B-sides, outtakes and rare tracks, and a DVD compilation holding rare TV appearances from 1980-81, a live concert from 1981 and a 5.1 audio mix of the original album. But wait, there's more! Included is the 40-page "The Ace of Spades Story" with previously unpublished interviews and photos, the Ace Up Your Sleeve tour program, the "Motorhead Rock Commando" comic, and a set of dice that can be played on the game board that's on the box lid. The whole shebang comes in a "Wild West dynamite" box!

Anthony Phillips - Missing Links I-IV - (5 CD)
The Missing Links albums referred to in the title of this box set really have been missing; they were previously issued on CD but have been unavailable for many years. Now fans of the guitarist and founding member of Genesis can hear these recordings once again, now in glorious remastered form. Phillips titled these sets Missing Links because they hold material recorded outside of that which was found on his regular album releases, so fans will hear unreleased album material, music created for television shows, soundtrack compositions and other rarities. The included fifth CD, Extra Missing Links, features more than 25 rarities that are unique to this box set.

Here's what the box contains: 23-CDs which basically represent the entire output of the band (all studio albums plus Live '73) with four of the 23 being discs holding personal favorites chosen by Hensley, Kerslake, Box and Newton, an LP version of the beloved The Magician's Birthday with new artwork by Roger Dean, a 64-page book featuring rarities from the band's personal archives, notations from the band, and Roger Dean "art cards" featuring graphics from The Magician's Birthday and Demons and Wizards.
