With the first anniversary of their Danse Macabre album approaching, Duran Duran have announced Danse Macabre – De Luxe, a revamped version of the original, set for digital release on October 11 and on CD on October 25 via Tape Modern / BMG.

Danse Macabre – De Luxe features three new bonus tracks, including an instrumental titled “Masque of the Pink Death,” a cover of ELO’s “Evil Woman” and “New Moon (Dark Phase),” featuring Andy Taylor.

The rock band on Friday released New Moon (Dark Phase), which is a reimagined version of their classic song “New Moon On Monday” from the album Seven and The Ragged Tiger.

Just in time for Halloween, Danse Macabre – De Luxe also features the original collection of 13 songs, including haunting covers of Billie Eilish’s “Bury A Friend,” Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer” featuring Victoria De Angelis, the Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black” and The Specials’ “Ghost Town,” plus new versions of Duran Duran classics from their own catalog.

Duran Duran also announced the Danse Macabre – De Luxe limited-edition vinyl box set, which includes three LPs comprising the original 13-track 2-LP Danse Macabre release and a bonus LP featuring seven new tracks. The Danse Macabre – De Luxe box set will be available globally at DTC on October 25, and available in select U.S. retailers on November 29.

On October 31, Duran Duran are set to summon all Halloween enthusiasts to show up, dress up, and celebrate All Hallows’ Eve in style at the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Trafalgar Releasing and the Tom Petty Estate have announced that the lost 1983 cult classic documentary, Tom Petty: Heartbreakers Beach Party, is headed to theaters on October 17 and October 20.

“Heartbreakers Beach Party occupies a special place in my heart,” says the film’s Academy Award-winning director Cameron Crowe. “Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers leaned into the making of the film with a kind of hilarious music-filled honesty that still feels fresh forty years later. It was also my first experience as a director.”

“Thanks to Adria Petty and the Petty Estate, along with our co-filmmakers Danny Bramson, Phil Savenick, Doug Dowdle and Greg Mariotti, I’m so happy we’re bringing it back in all its reckless glory,” he added. “The fact that it was yanked from MTV after only one airing at 2:00 a.m. just shows that it was indeed an outlandish feast for fans in all the best ways. Let that sucker blast!”

The film, restored from its 16mm source, has been fully remastered in 4K.

The highly anticipated film is described as a fun, candid, fast paced, and musically rich ride with America’s greatest rock & roll band, a time capsule of the dawn of the MTV era, and a rare and shining glimpse into Tom Petty’s lasting creative genius.

This exclusive theatrical release features 19 minutes of fully remastered, never before seen, archival bonus footage and new commentary from director Cameron Crowe.

Alongside the film, an expansive reissue, Long After Dark (Deluxe Edition), featuring a collection of rediscovered and unheard songs will be released on October 18.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young will release a newly discovered multi-track recording of the band’s September 20, 1969 concert at the historic Fillmore East in New York City as a double live album on October 25th.

Live At The Fillmore East, 1969 will be available from Rhino.com on vinyl (2LP) and CD and is available to pre-order at https://csny.lnk.to/LAFE69.

A special clear-vinyl edition will be available exclusively at select retailers on the same day. An unreleased live version of “Helplessly Hoping” is available digitally. Listen to it at https://csny.lnk.to/HHLive

David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young were heavily involved in the creation of this never-before-heard live show. Stills and Young compiled and mixed the original eight-track concert recordings with John Hanlon at Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles. The audio is AAA lacquer cut for the vinyl release to provide the highest audio fidelity.

Young recently said, “[We] have the tapes, and they sound so real. We mixed at Sunset Sound – the analog echo chamber, no digital echo. We’re staying all analog throughout the production…Pure. Analog. No digital – an Analog Original.”

“Hearing the music again after all these years, I can tell how much we loved each other and loved the music that we were creating,” Nash says. “We were four people reveling in the different sounds we were producing, quietly singing together on the one hand, then rocking for the rest of the concert.”
