Drake’s Take: New Releases 11.16.10

The list for new releases shrinks as the compilations, box sets and reissues pile grows and grows. Bruce Springsteen’s The Promise would make a great gift, as would the lovingly packaged reissue of Jim Sullivan’s U.F.O.. When Black Friday falls you know it’s got to be… don’t let it fall on me.
