Soft rock releases, week 41

This week's soft rock highlights include reissues and retrospectives from iconic artists, such as Paul McCartney expanding The Boys of Dungeon Lane with new tracks and Elton John revisiting Rock of the Westies with unreleased 1975 recordings. New releases from The Dead Daisies, Peter Gabriel with his upcoming album o/i, and Genesis's Super Deluxe Edition of From Genesis to Revelation underscore a wave of archival and fresh material. Meanwhile, tributes to legacy works, like The Alan Parsons Project's collector's edition and the 25th anniversary of Simple Minds' Neon Lights, reflect ongoing appreciation for the genre's enduring influence.
