Aor releases, week 39

This week's AOR highlights include new album announcements from Bullet For My Valentine and Europe, alongside archival releases and tributes. Notable moments include a long-lost Bruce Springsteen music video from 1984 going up for auction and a reissue of Chicago’s Peter Cetera performing a hit while recovering from injury. Guitarist Phil Collen of Def Leppard marks four decades of collaboration with a new signature instrument, while modern artists like Tucker Wetmore pay homage to 80s rock with fresh covers. The week also features a deep dive into Supertramp’s legacy through the release of 'Mentana Styx' and a comprehensive collection of Guns N' Roses’ 2026 tour visuals.
