Swedish theatrical rock institution Ghost have opened another chapter in their meticulously curated mythology, officially releasing their cover of Pet Shop Boys' Its A Sin to digital streaming platforms for the first time. The track, long considered a collector's item, was previously available only as a 7-inch vinyl bonus single included with deluxe editions of Ghost's 2018 album Prequelle. Its arrival on streaming services now places the song firmly back into the band's active canon, coinciding with the launch of the latest instalment in Ghost's ongoing webisode series.

When Paul Simon released Still Crazy After All These Years on 17 October 1975, he wasn't just releasing another solo record. He was putting a final full stop on the Simon & Garfunkel era, finding his footing in a changing world, and proving that introspection and pop craftsmanship could live side by side. Now, fifty years later, the album remains one of Simon's most enduring works - a record that captures the sound of 1970s New York with grace, wit and melancholy.
