THE LIST: DVDs, CDs and books hitting stores week of Oct. 6

DVDS
  “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” (G): The fairest of them all gets a face-lift, as Walt Disney’s landmark 1937 animated feature makes its Blu-Ray Disc debut in a “Diamond Edition” that includes a digitally restored picture, enhanced high-definition sound and extras ranging from storyboards for a proposed (but never made) sequel to a sneak preview of Disney’s latest, “The Princess and the Frog,” coming soon to a theater near you.
  It’s not likely audiences will still care about today’s crop of recent theatrical releases seven decades from now, but for what it’s worth, here they are. In “Imagine That” (PG), an investment banker (Eddie Murphy) caught in a downward career spiral alters his prospects — by entering an imaginary world dreamed up by his daughter (Yara Shahidi). The Neanderthal comedy “Year One” (available in PG-13 and unrated versions) casts Jack Black and Michael Cera as lazy hunter-gatherers on an odyssey through the ancient world. “My Life in Ruins” (PG-13) transports “My Big Fat Greek Wedding’s” Nia Vardalos to Greece, this time as a burned-out tour guide, with Richard Dreyfus, Rachel Dratch, Rita Wilson and Greek actor Alexis Georgoulis along for the ride. And the spoofy “Dance Flick” returns in an unrated version.
  Also arriving today: the rock documentary “Anvil: The Story of Anvil,” Maximilian Schell’s Marlene Dietrich portrait “Marlene” and Ken Burns’ latest PBS epic, “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea” (all unrated); Anna Paquin and Brian Cox in the “Shocktober” chiller “Trick ’r Treat” (R), Bruce Willis and Mischa Barton in “The Assassination of a High School President” (R), Val Kilmer in “The Thaw” (R) and Thomas Jane and Ron Perlman in “Dark Country” (R); Blu-Ray editions of “A Hard Day’s Night,” “Miracle on 34th Street,” “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (all unrated); and the TV transfers “The Lola Falana Show” and “Mister Ed: The Complete First Season” (both rated G), plus the unrated “Ally McBeal: The Complete Series,” “Get Smart: Season Four,” “The Mary Tyler Moore Show: The Complete Fifth Season,” “Medium: The Complete Fifth Season,” 'The Hills: Season Five, Part One” and “Nip/Tuck: Season Five, Part Two.”

CDS
   Kiss, “Sonic Boom”: You wanted the best, you got ... a new album from Kiss, their first in 11 years.
  This three-disc set, available only at Wal-Mart, is a mix of fresh tunes and rerecorded classics that should get the Kiss Army back on the battlefield in full force. 
  If nothing else, it has to be better than the band’s last effort, 1998’s “Psycho Circus,” which, fittingly enough, was the rock ’n’  roll equivalent of clown shoes. 
  Also in stores: Air, “Love 2”; Backstreet Boys, “This Is Us”; Built to Spill, “There Is No Enemy”; Rosanne Cash, “The List”; The Gossip, “Music For Men”; HORSE the band, “Desperate Living”; Daniel Johnston, “Is and Always Was”; Toby Keith, “American Ride”; Mission of Burma, “The Sound, the Speed, the Light”; The Mountain Goats, “The Life of the World to Come”; Joe Perry, “Joe Perry ... Have Guitar Will Travel”; The Raveonettes, “In and Out of Control”; Relient K, “Forget and No”; and Tiësto, “Kaleidoscope.”

BOOKS
  “A Touch of Dead: The Complete Stories” by Charlaine Harris: Fans of telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse and the “Southern Vampire” series should be jumping with joy this week over the release of this collection of short stories. The stories include “Fairy Dust,” “One Word Answer,” “Dracula Night,” “Lucky” and “Giftwrap.”
  Another series favorite also gets an addition with the release of Terry Pratchett’s “Unseen Academicals,” the 37th “Discworld” novel in which Publishers Weekly says “Football, food, fashion and wizards collide.”
