Somebody smarter than I am — which is, admittedly, almost everybody — once said you shouldn’t introduce new products in August. I guess nobody passed that message to the people behind the 320 new albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes arriving next week. Or maybe they’re just smarter than everybody else. I guess we’ll see. But first, let’s see what they’re introducing:
