The 40th anniversary celebrations begin with a major Queen exhibition in London, “Stormtroopers in Stilettos,”
opening in late February. This will be followed by a BBC-TV documentary and the production of a major Hollywood
film about the band, starring Sacha Baron Cohen as Freddie Mercury. Acclaimed script writer

 Alison Krauss & Union Station |
On March 2, Rounder will release Rounder Records’ 40th Anniversary Concert, an album of the concert that celebrated the label’s 40 years in the music industry. Recorded in October 2009 at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry, the concert will also be presented as a PBS television special that will begin airing on the network in March, 2010 and released on DVD in May.
The event is a superb exhibition of Rounder’s diverse roster, and features Grammy winning Rounder artists Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Bela Fleck, and Irma Thomas along with musical host Minnie Driver, and special guests Nathan & The Zydeco Cha Chas and jazz/R&B pianist, Henry Butler.
The CD will include performances by these artists as well as select performances from Steve Martin‘s show at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Krauss and Robert Plant‘s 2008 CMT Crossroads special, and Madeleine Peyroux‘s 2009 concert in Los Angeles.
The event was filmed by High Five Entertainment, and a portion of the ticket proceeds were donated to NARAS’ Grammy in the Schools Programs to cultivate the understanding, appreciation and advancement of the contribution of recorded music to American culture. The Grammy Foundation influences the lives of young people by opening the windows of opportunity that music can provide for their futures.

The Rolling Stones: Get Yer Ya-Yas Out: 40th Anniversary Ed.
December 10th, 2009 |

By: Ron Hart
The fall of 1969 was without question one of the most pivotal periods in the career of The Rolling Stones, highlighted by the Thanksgiving release of one of their three best albums, Let it Bleed, and the winding down of a tour through North America in support of that album’s predecessor, 1968′s Beggars Banquet – a trek universally hailed as one of THE legendary tours in rock history, albeit one that was derailed by the tragedy at the Altamont Speedway Free Festival in December (immortalized in the Maysles Brothers’ 1970 documentary Gimme Shelter).
Originally released in 1970, Get Yer Ya-Yas Out has long been considered to be the Stones’ ultimate official live document, chronicling a sliver of the fervor and fury of that ’69 tour in the audio format. This 40th Anniversary Edition (released November 3 on Abkco) of Ya-Yas might have been short on bonus material, utilizing less than a quarter of a 79-minute CD for a second disc of tracks not featured on the original release (in spite of the fact that both Madison Square Garden shows and the stop in Baltimore were all recorded in their entireties for the album) and a DVD of concert and backstage footage that’s barely 15 minutes long, but the third disc containing the fiery sets of tour openers Ike and Tina Turner and B.B. King certainly makes up for the deficit in bonus Stones matter, not to mention the outstanding packaging and gorgeous hardbound book containing a intriguing essay by longtime Stones photog Ethan Russell on the making of the iconic album cover and Lester Bangs‘ review of the album from Rolling Stone. And even given their brevity, the bonus tracks, which include killer takes on “Under My Thumb” and “I’m Free,” are certainly welcome and do, in fact, complete the entire set list of the band’s ’69 tour (although the Altamont concert did feature the live debut of “Brown Sugar”, the one straying moment from the otherwise rigid performance regimen). As for the original ten tracks, they have never sounded better, right down to the blistering head cutting session between Keith Richards and Mick Taylor on “Sympathy,” cementing Ya-Yas as the quintessential live Stones album – even in its middle age.

 David Bowie |
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of David Bowie‘s Space Oddity Virgin/EMI will release a commemorative digital EP and a new app for the iPhone and iPod touch. The digital EP, available now for download purchase from all major digital service providers, features four versions of “Space Oddity” plus its original eight multi-track stems, enabling fans to remix the song as they please using their own software or with iKlax software. iKlax’s “Remix David Bowie – Space Oddity” app, available now on the iTunes App Store, also allows fans to remix the track their way.
Originally released on July 11, 1969 to coincide with the Apollo 11 moon landings, Space Oddity was featured by the BBC in its television coverage of the lunar event, the song later won an Ivor Novello award. The song’s enigmatic protagonist, Major Tom, has become a recurrent theme throughout Bowie’s work and career, and was revisited in the song “Ashes To Ashes.”
