Whitney Houston. Eminem. Britney Spears. Oasis. Backstreet Boys. Robbie Williams. Pop music’s who’s who of the last 40 years. Four decades of chart hits stealing their fans’ hearts (and sometimes their hard earned bucks). As you can imagine, these megastars’ tracks full of sappy melodies and thumping beats left their marks on the souls of The Sad Pumpkins, too. As a love letter, penned at the age of 14, accompanied by the tear-inducing «I Will Always Love You». As a first kiss on the cheek, while Beyoncé’s «Crazy in Love» is blaring out of the speaker. As the disappointment in one’s own two left feet, while the Backstreet Boys are dancing their shoes off on MTV.

October's COVERMOUNT CD is Forever Young: The Best Of 1974. Exactly what it says on the tin, with 15 killer songs by Can, King Crimson, Fela Kuti, Betty Davis, Gram Parsons, Robert Wyatt and TWO unreleased tracks from Dylan’s new 1974 Tour box set!

Classic 1982 Chicago studio session also featuring Buddy Guy - plus stunning live tracks and previously unreleased three track studio session.

Cheap Trick may no longer be playing the stadiums that the group's monumental talent surely warrants, but they do have one of the most loyal cult followings in all rock & roll. Thus, when Epic Records decided to release a four-disc box set celebrating the quartet's 20th anniversary with the label, someone there was smart enough to let the band put together a collection for the collectors. Which means 32 of the 64 tracks here are previously unreleased, including many live cover tunes (Beatles, Velvet Underground), demo takes, and a few things only a fan would want. Some hits are here (including "Surrender"), but, as a good example, there's no "He's a Whore," which Cheap Trick probably figured their fans should already own.
