Live debuts, awards, classic releases and a revolution in the recording industry. We look back at this week in rock history…

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of Bruce Springsteen’s landmark album ‘Born In The U.S.A.’, we’re proud to present this 2013 performance of the album, filmed at the Hard Rock Calling Festival in London.

The chances are that we ain’t ever going to agree on what the best Bruce Springsteen album is….

Today of all days we need something explosive, so let’s do it in style with the righteous fury of The Clash.

“I always knew Johnny Cash had my back.”

We asked for the times the Man In Black got you through. Here are your Johnny Cash Love Stories.

Presenting a new limited edition box set of some of The Boss’ finest work, long out of print, on remastered vinyl for the first time and available now.

As we revisit one of The Boss’ most urgent, powerful eras, our artist of the month for May is the one and only Bruce Springsteen.

In Johnny Cash’s hands, any song was a potent force. His own compositions, of course, were the most powerful items in his repertoire, but the Man In Black also worked with traditional folk songs and, occasionally, the work of other contemporary musicians.

He is The Man In Black and you might just owe him your life.

With a huge array of contemporary artists turning the unfinished writings of Johnny Cash into new original music on ‘Johnny Cash: Forever Words’, we look at some other times when the pen was mightier than the chord…

The spirit of Johnny Cash – his passion and his pain – comes to life for a new generation on ‘Johnny Cash: Forever Words.’ This new album, featuring Cash’s unknown poems and lyrics set to music by artists inspired by The Man In Black, is available everywhere now.

April’s Artist of the Month needs no introduction.

Watch the video for the latest track from ‘Johnny Cash: Forever Words’, an album of new material drawn from the writings of the Man In Black, released April 6th.

This week we turn to our attention to a watershed moment from The Boss (and not just because of Courtney Cox’s Dad dancing…)

Well, what else could it be this week?

For teaching a generation that ridicule is nothing to be scared of. Ladies & Gentlemen. Our December Artist of the Month. Adam Ant.

The first single from the criminally underrated ‘Give ‘Em Enough Rope’ album, ‘Tommy Gun’ was aggressively political even by The Clash’s acerbic standards.

One of the most groundbreaking, inventive and entertaining artists of the modern era, George Michael was also one of a handful of stars to successfully walk the line from Pop Sensation to Critically Acclaimed Artist.

For these and countless other reasons, George Michael is our Artist of the Month.

‘Fantasy’ is the flagship track from the incoming ‘Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1’ special edition.
