Album

The Tubes – White Punks On Dope

San Francisco theatrical rock troupe in cult iconic shock

Prophet Margins

13-track compilation features newly discovered track and a little dubious tinkering

Led Zeppelin

Don't be deceived by the enticing claim that this "complete and unauthorised documentary" contains "exclusive and in-depth interviews". They're not with anybody who was ever actually in Zeppelin but with the likes of former Yardbird Jim McCarthy and even a tribute band called Letz Zep. This motley crew relate the familiar story well enough—but you can't help wondering what the point was. Approach with extreme caution.

Fifth solo album from former Small Faces keyboardist

Tears For Fears – Everybody Loves A Happy Ending

First from duo since '89's The Seeds Of Love

Paul Simon – The Paul Simon Songbook

Long unavailable album recorded in London in one hour in May 1965, between Simon & Garfunkel's Wednesday Morning 3am and Sounds Of Silence

Bob Dylan

"Through the camera of Bob Dylan's drummer, Mickey Jones," the opening credits promise. Yes, Jones was there. But the problem is he was more interested in filming hotels and tourist haunts than chronicling Dylan's progress. Then, when it came to the incendiary shows, he was to be found behind drum kit rather than camera. Not much Bob, then. But Dylanologists will still be fascinated by Jones' eyewitness account as he talks us through the electrifying events all over again.
