Local punk rock powerhouse The Stooges releases an exciting import today entitled "Head On."

The 1970s is represented with releases from Earth, Wind & Fire's "Live in Rio," Emerson, Lake & Palmer's "Re-Works," and The Moody Blues' "Say it with Love."

Marvin Gaye has two today. Although the famed singer's career was cut short in 1984, it hasn't stopped the release of several acclaimed albums. Universal delivers "Greatest Duets: A Love Songs Collection" and "What's Going On (Bonus Tracks)." Sony counters with "Love Songs" remastered.

The "Lil" people sprout releases by new artist Lil Cuete with "There's Only One Way About it," while Lil' Mac's second release of "From the Cracks to the Stacks" looks to jump onto the charts.

R. Kelly believes he can fly over past scandal and drama with the release of "Chocolate Factory." Hopefully it doesn't attract any candy-loving kids.

For super fans of Janis Joplin comes the release of "Essential Janis Joplin."

Sony International offers two imports from Pink Floyd's bassist-turned-solo act, Roger Waters. "The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking," originally released in 1984, will be re-released as a digitally remastered import, with 1987 release "Radio K.A.O.S." following suit.
