Nearly half a century after KISS marched through the streets of Manhattan in borrowed business suits, the band's third studio album Dressed To Kill has returned in a lavish 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have produced an unboxing video of new set, revisiting the frantic early years that forged the record and ultimately launched KISS toward global domination.

Fifty years after it first washed up from the surf at Point Dume, Neil Young's Zuma remains one of his most quietly volatile records, a bruised and beautiful return to Crazy Horse that mixed pastoral reflection with jagged electric bursts, and gave the world the towering epic Cortez The Killer.

When Elton John and Bernie Taupin released Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy in 1975, they weren't just delivering another album - they were telling their story. Now, fifty years later, the duo's most autobiographical work is being revisited in a lavish 50th anniversary reissue, restoring one of rock's most introspective and musically adventurous masterpieces to the spotlight.

When Roxy Music released Siren in October 1975, the British art-rock pioneers were already known for fusing avant-garde experimentation with sleek pop sophistication. Fifty years on, Siren remains one of their most enduring works, a record that captured the glamour, chaos and creative electricity of mid-70s rock while propelling the band into the mainstream with Love Is The Drug.

When Rock Of The Westies hit shelves on 24 October 1975, Elton John was on top of the world. Less than five months after Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy, the British superstar released his tenth studio album, a record that marked both a musical shift and the close of one of the most prolific creative periods in pop history.

When John Lennon released Shaved Fish on 24 October 1975 in the UK, it marked the end of one era and the beginning of another. The album arrived just as Lennon withdrew from the public eye to focus on family life, following the birth of his son Sean Lennon earlier that same month. It was also the final record he would release on Apple Records before the label shut down, making Shaved Fish not just a greatest-hits compilation, but a symbolic farewell to a turbulent chapter in his solo journey.

Fifty years after Neil Young's most haunting and cathartic album first saw the light of day, Tonight's The Night is being reborn. To mark the half-century milestone, Young has announced a limited deluxe 50th Anniversary Edition of the 1975 classic, complete with six bonus tracks drawn from the original 1973 recording sessions that birthed what many consider his most emotionally raw work.
