The Great Classics series from Naxos is the perfect introduction to myriad genres of classical music. Comprising both complete and compiled selections from the greatest works in the repertoire, the boxes are bursting with wonderful pieces of music, both recognizable and unfamiliar. The boxes take the listener on a thrilling tour of some of the world's most dramatic musical media, encompassing music from six centuries and featuring sensational performers. All boxes come with a fascinating booklet with detailed information on the genre itself, chronological placement of each work, and a comprehensive study of the music. A fitting celebration of 25 years of superb music from Naxos, the world's favourite classical tag.

There is something to be said about being both popular and prolific enough to be anthologized-it's a space that soul music stalwart Kelly Finnigan and his latest , B-Sides, Singles & Forgotten Gems, occupies with intent and fire. Serving as a mile marker pacing the fifteen-year collaboration between Finnigan and Colemine Records, B-Sides, Singles & Forgotten Gems is an easter egg moment for new and long-time fans to collect rare takes and flip sides in one spot, while unearthing Finnigan's evolution as an artist, producer, and vocalist. From his earliest explorations to one of the first tracks cut at his new studio in Ohio, this travelogue in sound both brings the listener forward to the present while laying out Kelly Finnigan's road ahead. InchColemine has grown so much, I've grown so much... I think [this collection is a chance to] take a little look back and share that with the people, the fans, the music lovers, the Colemine lovers,Inch says Finnigan.
