Today in sombre musical milestones: Michael Jackson died of heart failure at the age of 50 at his Beverly Hills home in 2009; Grammy-winning veteran producer Arif Mardin — who worked with Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, The Bee Gees and Norah Jones, among many others — was taken by pancreatic cancer in 2006; Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Hillel Slovac suffered a fatal heroin overdose in 1988; and legendary songwriter Boudleaux Bryant (Wake Up Little Suzy, Love Hurts) passed away at age 67. While you spin their greatest hits today, peruse these 350 new albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes arriving next week. That should put you a happier frame of mind:
