Rock and roll releases, week 44

This week's rock and roll highlights include a reissued historic Queen performance in Budapest featuring Freddie Mercury, rare Beatles records going to market via Discogs, and renewed attention to classic tracks from The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, and The Doors. New releases span from deep cuts like ELO’s orchestral take on Chuck Berry’s 'Roll Over Beethoven' to fresh material from artists such as Society of Beggars and Steak. Tributes and retrospectives mark milestones, including the 60th anniversary of The Kinks’ 'Face To Face' and the 86th birthday of a Green Beret whose patriotic anthem once outperformed the Beatles. Meanwhile, Paul McCartney’s 'Silly Love Songs' and John Mellencamp’s humorous origin story for his first No. 1 hit add to the week’s reflective and eclectic mix.
