15 Great Rock Albums That Need to Be Rereleased on Vinyl
Back in the days before the commercial advent of the compact disc, when vinyl records were the format of choice for purchasing and listening to music, albums would go out of print all the time, without warning. Some would not sell and be relegated to cutout bins or just tossed; others would sell out of their pressing, and would simply disappear, until a new run was pressed. If there were no further pressings, those records would just be gone.

Blues Legend John Mayall Dead at 90
John Mayall, legendary blues guitarist and founder of John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, died on Monday at the age of 90, Vanity Fair reports. Born in Macclesfield, England in 1933, Mayall taught himself to play the piano, guitars and harmonica as a kid. After graduating from the Manchester College of Art, he maintained a side hustle playing with local musicians. In 1963, he founded the Bluesbreakers with drummer Peter Ward, bassist John McVie (who would later join Fleetwood Mac) and guitarist Bernie Watson.

Jack White, ‘No Name': Album Review
"Nothing in this world is free," Jack White declares on the opening track of his surprise-released sixth solo album - branded as "No Name" on the disc and at least for our purposes now. Call it hubris or humor, mischievousness or muso conceit. White's Third Man Records "released" the 13-track set on July 19 in an unmarked white sleeve, by slipping the vinyl set - yes, for free - into the bags of customers at its retail outlets in Nashville and White's hometown of Detroit. An online post encouraged lucky recipients to "Rip It" and share the music with the rest of the world. No details, not even song titles, were revealed. (When contacted about the project, one company exec told UCR, "Not really sure what you're talking about, but would be a great day to go and buy a record in the [Detroit] Cass corridor.")
