REISSUES OF 2025

With major A-list anniversaries, overlooked landmark works and everything in between, the past 12 months haven't been lacking in quality nostalgia and deluxe editions.

LED ZEPPELIN

Physical Graffiti 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition/Live EP RHINO

What we said: “This new edition includes early mixes of the tracks, plus 1975 and 1979 live recordings. Released 50 years ago, Physical Graffiti isn’t part of the rock continuum. It didn’t especially pave the way for anything, but it isn’t a mere marker of its era. It hasn’t dated. It’s outside of the rock timeline, a gigantic, impermeable, orbital black achievement, which has intensified with age.”

FOREIGNER

4 RHINO

What we said: “One of the mega releases of the 80s, 4 is absolutely deserving of the super-deluxe treatment, not having been reissued in a properly expanded format up until now. Produced by ‘Mutt’ Lange, this now remixed hit-studded classic is available in multiple formats, boasting a plethora of extras. Depending on which version your wallet will stretch to, you can have an Atmos mix, five previously unreleased songs, 14 alternative/early versions, 15 instrumentals and 15 live performances, with the five-disc CD/Blu-ray and digital versions containing the most bang for your buck.”

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

Nebraska '82: Expanded Edition SONY

What we said: “The story behind the making of Springsteen’s stark acoustic masterpiece is so compelling, and such a significant chapter in his career, it’s now the subject of a dramatised feature film, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere. Now in full-bodied, five-disc form, this set includes unused songs from his home recordings, a skeletal demo of Pink Cadillac, everything from the 1982 solo studio sessions in which he attempted to recapture that intimate bedroom vibe, a remastered Nebraska, and an exclusive 2025 live performance - also available to watch on the bonus Blu-ray disc.”
