Top-notch 1967 reissue plus zany studio and BBC sessions

Fully expanded reissue of Love brilliance culled from band's Elektra period

George Clooney's stylised spy drama based on the unreliable memoirs of Gong Show host Chuck Barris

Rerun of Swedish master's harrowing '60s classic

Lumet's underrated media satire now viewed as a visionary work

An opening tour of the interior of Snoop Doggy Dogg's mink-lined Cadillac gives an indication of the spiritual journey that awaits the viewer here. Essentially an extended promo for the roster of Snoop's label Doggystyle, this is a mixture of interviews, dull footage of Snoop cruising the 'hood and music videos, the whole exercise redeemed by the divine, Aretha-esque vocal interventions of La Toiya Williams.

Sophomore release for London instrumental trio

Sometimes you just have to hand it to the mainstream. Chicago is a riot as a big glossy movie (although I can't vouch for the West End production starring some bloke from Eastenders). Kander and Ebb's songs are a sassy splash of satire, much more scathing and cynical than you might've inferred. Queen Latifah edges in among the Tinseltown divas, and numbers like "Razzle Dazzle" and "We Both Reached For The Gun" rasp with wit and pizzazz.
