Welcome to the premiere of Albums Under The Radar: On The Fringe, a special series uncovering hidden gems and records on the outer edge.

In this episode, we step away from sprawling records to explore a 1952 masterpiece hiding in plain sight: Billie Holiday Sings. Clocking in at just 8 songs and 26 minutes, this album delivers the ultimate sound of less saying more. Join us as we dive into Billie Holiday's overlooked 1950s album era, her legendary collaborations with Lester "Prez" Young, and why this specific record is a hidden treasure trove waiting to be discovered.

John Lennon’s Plastic Ono Band: Brutally Naked captures John on his first solo outing leaving nothing behind but the truth. Plastic Ono Band is raw, painful, fearless, and brutally honest. We go inside the making of Lennon’s landmark 1970 album, from primal scream therapy and the Beatles breakup to Ringo, Phil Spector, and songs that helped usher in the punk and grunge movements that changed rock forever.

What if Bob Dylan had shown Oh Mercy a little more mercy?

In 1989, Dylan and producer Daniel Lanois recorded an album full of mystery, atmosphere—and a handful of songs that never made the final cut.

So what happens when we put “Series of Dreams,” “Dignity,” “God Knows,” and “Born in Time” back where they might have belonged?

Welcome to Have Mercy—the Oh Mercy that should have been.
