Wishbone Ash is the first studio album by Wishbone Ash. It peaked at number 29 in the UK Albums Chart in January 1971.
The band opened for Deep Purple in early 1970. Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore was jamming during the band's soundcheck, when Wishbone guitarist Andy Powell joined in and began jamming with Blackmore. After the show, Blackmore recommended that MCA Records sign the band. Deep Purple producer Derek Lawrence produced this album, which features elements of blues, jazz, progressive rock, and psychedelic improvisation. The first side contains three uptempo tracks along with the ballad "Errors Of My Way" which, unusually for a rock song, was written in 12/8 time. Side two contains two lengthy tracks featuring long instrumental passages, the second of which, "Phoenix", was to become a live favourite often stretching in excess of 17 minutes, for example on their Live From Memphis EP and the Live Dates album.

Barclay James Harvest - Their First Album [Barclay James Harvest. 13 bonus tracks] (1970)

Year: 5 June 1970 (CD 2002)
Label: EMI Records (Europe), 07243 538405 2 5
Style: Art Rock, Progressive Rock
Country: Oldham, England
Time: 76:53
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz

Barclay James Harvest were one of England’s most unappreciated, hardluck underground bands throughout the 60’s and 70’s. They released a handful a good albums and came very close to major stardom.
Often labeled the “poor man’s Moody Blues,” Barclay James Harvest began their career in or around 1967. In 1968, they released their superb debut single, Early Morning. Early Morning was a confident, mellotron drenched psychedelic ballad that should have gained them notoriety but failed to do so (sounding similar to a really good cut on the Zombie’s Odessey and Oracle). Another good prog-psych single followed but did little to enhance their reputation.
In 1970, their outstanding debut was released in a gorgeous stained-glass illustrated sleeve. Barclay James Harvest (self-titled) was absolutely dynamite, opening up with Taking Some Time On. This song has some seriously vicious, punky psychedelic guitar riffs and hard hitting drums. It’s a pummeling, devastating rock song and a great way to open up this debut, displaying a mature band with wildly inventive ideas. The next song, Mother Dear is a beautiful acoustic composition augmented with strings that is almost a response to the Move’s classic Beautiful Daughter (from Shazaam). Another highlight is The Sun Will Never Shine, a great piece of dramatic progressive psychedelia highlighted by great use of mellotron. The album closes with the 12 minute Dark Now My Sky, which is a sterling example of early progressive rock.
There are no false steps on Barclay James Harvest and this great record never fails to challenge and reward its listeners.
The whole album is absolutely wonderful, finding some kind of middle ground between the Move, psychedelic era Pretty Things and late 60’s Procol Harum. A genuinely fantastic album that is not to be missed, pitched half way between the psych and prog eras.

Dire Straits - Money For Nothing (1988)

Year: 14 October 1988 (CD Oct 1988)
Label: Warner Bros. Records (US), 9 25794-2
Style: Rock, Pop Rock
Country: London, England
Time: 76:23

Size: 367 Mb

Charts: UK #1, AUS #3, AUT #3, FRA #1, GER #2, NED #4, NZ #2, SWI #1, US #62. GER, CAN, US & NZ: Platinum; AUS & SWI: 3x Platinum; UK: 4x Platinum; FRA: Diamond.
Released in late 1988, as everyone was waiting for the follow-up for Brothers in Arms, the 12-track Money for Nothing does an adequate job of summarizing hits and highlights from Dire Straits. Since the group only released one studio album after this compilation, and that really didn't produce any blockbusters, Money for Nothing winds up being a pretty good career summary. Far from perfect, though: too many album rock hits, such as "Expresso Love" and "Skateaway," are missing, plus there're two live cuts and the new cut "Where Do You Think You're Going?" doesn't go anywhere. Discounting these, the remainder of the compilation does hit many of the big songs, relying heavily on Brothers in Arms. Sultans of Swing, the post-On Every Street collection, is a better overview, yet this still has enough of the best-known tracks to satisfy the majority of casual fans.

Secret Oyster - Sea Son (1974)

Year: 1974 (CD Feb 21, 2006)
Label: The Laser's Edge (US), LE1045
Style: Jazz Rock, Instrumental, Art Rock, Fusion
Country: Denmark
Time: 49:23
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 323 Mb

SECRET OYSTER became somewhat of a super group when members of BURNIN'RED IVANHOE, CORONARIAS DANS and HURDY GURDY formed this unit. By the end of BURNIN' RED IVANHOE's career (that spawned seven years), Karsten Vogel started forming a new band taking along with him BRI's drummer Thrige and often jazz-partner bassist Vinding with him. Knowing from the Danish circuit guitarist Claus Bohling, he enticed him into the band that took its name from a track from BRI's second album Secret Oysters Service. The last to join was keyboardist Knudsen, who had never played an electric instrument prior to entering this outfit, but was playing in a piano avant-garde trio. Knudsen would prove particularly helpful as the second songwriter of the group and allowing Vogel to leave the keyboards at will to play wind instruments.
Their sound recalled MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA, NUCLEUS, Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi and Sextant albums as well as Miles DAVIS's Bitches Brew. Quite a success and this prompted their record company to release that album internationally but under the title "Furtive Pearl". After a line-up changze that saw the rhythm section get a complete overhaul (Staer for Vinding and Streenberg for Thrige) their second album, Sea Son, is even better but failed to get international public recognition, even if all connoisseur will mostly agree on this album being the band's apex. At one point the line-up of this group was also exactly the same as BURNIN' RED IVANHOE (after it got revived because they also developed rockier material) as well as a third outfit, "Day Of The Phoenix". This did not stop them from writing the music to a ballet "Vidunderlinge Kaelling" released as an album under the name of "Astarte", with very mixed results just a few months before their final album, the much better "Straight From The Krankenhaus" also known as "Orlander".
Aside from their confusion of their album names and general discography, SECRET OYSTER is a great jazz-rock/fusion outfit that deserved a lot more attention for they were almost as good as the groups named above.

Charts: US #27, AUS #25, AUT #9, NLD #11, NZL #37, SWE #37, UK #27. UK: Silver; FRA & US: Gold.
Festival is the eighth studio album by Santana, released in January 1977. It peaked number twenty seven in the Billboard 200 chart and number twenty nine in the R&B Albums chart.
This was the band's second and last album with Leon Patillo on vocals, and the last full-studio album with longtime keyboardist Tom Coster. It also was the first one with percussionist Raul Rekow, who would remain with the band until 2013 (save for 1987–1990).
Rolling Stone wrote: "Though this record is far stronger on the whole than Amigos, it lacks that album’s memorable chordal quirks and peaks of intensity, sometimes sounding like a prisoner of its own commercial aspirations."

Queen - Live At Wembley Stadium [2CD] (1986)

Queen Live at Wembley Stadium, also referred to as Queen Live At Wembley, Queen At Wembley, Queen Live At Wembley '86, Live At Wembley and Live At Wembley '86, is a live concert by British rock band Queen at Wembley Stadium, London, England on Saturday 12 July 1986. The recording is a performance of the Magic Tour which took place during the summer of 1986.
The recorded concert was first broadcast as Queen: Real Magic on a special episode for the British music show The Tube on 25 October 1986 on Channel 4. This was transmitted in mono (as was normal before NICAM stereo became standard on UK TV in the early 1990s). However, it was simultaneously broadcast over the radio in stereo so that viewers had the option to mute their televisions, play the audio on a nearby radio and enjoy “the world’s first ever stereo simulcast” in a similar way that previous live (as opposed to, in this case, pre-recorded) classical performances had sometimes been offered.

The Beach Boys - Surfin' U.S.A. & Surfer Girl [24kt Gold. MFSL CD] [1963]

Year: March 25, 1963 / September 16, 1963 (CD May 1989)
Label: Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (US), UDCD 521
Style: Rock, Pop, Surf Rock
Country: Hawthorne, California, U.S.
Time: 49:55
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz

Surfin' U.S.A. is the second studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released March 25, 1963 on Capitol Records. It reached number 2 in the US during a chart stay of 78 weeks, eventually being certified gold by the RIAA, and brought the group newfound national success. It was led by one single, its title track with the B-side "Shut Down". In the UK, the album was released in late 1965 and reached number 17. The majority of the album's recording commenced in the first week of 1963, three months after the release of Surfin' Safari. Like the group's debut album, production was credited ostensibly to Capitol's representative for Artists and Repertoire, Nick Venet, although bandleader Brian Wilson was heavily involved in the album's composition. The album marks the beginning of his practice to doubletrack vocals, resulting in a fuller sound.
(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfin%27_U.S.A._(album))
Surfer Girl is the third studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released September 16, 1963 on Capitol Records. It is largely a collection of surf songs. The LP reached number 7 in the U.S. and number 13 in the UK. Lead single "Surfer Girl", backed with "Little Deuce Coupe", was also a top 10 hit. This was the first album that officially credited Brian Wilson with production. It was also the first in which he used a string section (on "The Surfer Moon") and employed Wrecking Crew session musicians (on "Hawaii" and "Our Car Club"). Original member Al Jardine, who had been replaced by David Marks in February 1962, contributed to the album and would soon re-join the band full-time when Marks departed in October 1963. Surfer Girl was certified gold by the RIAA in November 1965, indicating over 1,000,000 copies sold. In 2017, it was ranked the 193rd greatest album of the 1960s by Pitchfork.

Turilli Lione Rhapsody - Zero Gravity (Rebirth and Evolution) [Japan Ed.] (2019)

Year: July 5, 2019 (CD Jul 5, 2019)
Label: Metal Frontier (Japan), KICP 1991
Style: Italian Symphonic Metal
Country: Trieste, Italy
Time: 57:51
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 443 Mb

Turilli / Lione Rhapsody was an Italian symphonic metal band formed in December 2018, by former Rhapsody of Fire members Luca Turilli and Fabio Lione. The lineup also included former Rhapsody of Fire members Alex Holzwarth, Patrice Guers, and Dominique Leurquin. Prior to the band's formation, the same lineup performed under the Rhapsody moniker for the 20th Anniversary Farewell Tour, which celebrated 20 years of the original band's existence. On the same day that the band formed, the band started a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo to fund their only studio album.
The first intention, after the end of the Rhapsody farewell tour, was to continue with the name Zero Gravity but the promoters strongly recommended that Turilli and Lione continue with the name Rhapsody.
Turilli and Lione branded their new band's music style as a "new generation of symphonic metal" combined with progressive, electronic and even ethnic elements and based on their artistic mantra "Rebirth and Evolution", emphasizing the clear intention to abandon the power metal of their beginnings while evolving their sound into something different, modern and innovative.
At the end of December 2018, Turilli and Lione entered the studio to record their band's only studio album Zero Gravity (Rebirth and Evolution), which was released on July 5, 2019. Following the conclusion of the Latin American tour in January and February 2023 as their final tour, the band disbanded, with an announcement prior that they would be "closing the chapter of their career for good".
(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turilli_/_Lione_Rhapsody)
Zero Gravity (Rebirth and Evolution) is the only studio album by Italian symphonic metal band Turilli Lione Rhapsody. It was released on July 5, 2019 via Nuclear Blast. The album was funded by a crowdfunding campaign that the band had started on Indiegogo.
Unlike Rhapsody of Fire albums, which feature high fantasy narratives, Zero Gravity is not a concept album and its lyrics deals with scientific, spiritual and philosophical themes. Both Lione and Turilli say that the album represents a new artistic view of the band (hence the Rebirth and Evolution subtitle), by modernizing their sound without losing the original essence of Rhapsody's music.

Homer - Grown In USA (1970)

Year: 1970 (CD 2002)
Label: Akarma Records (Italy), AK 210
Style: Hard Rock, Rock
Country: San Antonio, Texas, U.S.
Time: 45:29
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 283 Mb

Although Homer's sole and rare album is full of ideas and busy late-psychedelic/early-progressive rock instrumentation, it's a bunch of notions in search of a road map, and ultimately doesn't say much. Sometimes there's similarity to early-'70s British progressive rock in the occasional Mellotron, the multi-sectioned song structures, and the dynamic instrumentation. There are country and folkier touches (including steel guitar), though, which were rare in such British music, sometimes leaving a slight odd feeling of hearing Neil Young (an influence especially audible on "Dawson Creek") intersect with Yes and the Moody Blues. The lyrics sometimes have a verge-on-the-better-world hippie outlook that, while laudable on paper, comes across as kind of sappy. The hard-to-get-a-handle-on eclecticism isn't the problem so much as far more common shortcomings in these kind of psychedelic-era obscurities: a lack of strong songs or gripping originality, despite the undoubted competence of the playing and vocals. The 2002 CD reissue on Akarma adds two tracks from a non-LP 1970 single that are actually the best things on the disc. They have more of an early psychedelic feel than the LP and a tighter focus to the songs, which sound a bit like the kind of guitar-heavy, phased psychedelic pop the Amboy Dukes did on "Journey to the Center of the Mind," or early Spirit.
(allmusic.com/album/grown-in-the-usa-mw0000708988)
This is an extremely rare album in it's original vinyl format, though numerous reissues have made it infinitely more accessible. Though it is often mentioned in with other "psychedelic" rarities, I didn't really detect very much as far as true psych flavor on here. They have a superlative guitarist who provides plenty in the way of great, hard rock sounds. Male vocal duets often remind of the vocals from an album by a band known as Day Blindness. The real surprise here is their use of mellotron, a rare keyboard instrument seldom found outside of British progressive acts from the late 60s/early 70s. Usually, whenever this unique sound is detected in most rock releases, it gets instantly slapped with the "progressive" label. But there is nothing progressive about Homer's sound, for sure. Another addition to their sound is pedal steel guitar, something I am typically anathema to, but in this context I didn't find especially off-putting. Overall, it's a really strong album with not a weak track in sight. Psych fans should surely enjoy it, despite the fact that it isn't really psychedelic.

Jeff Beck - Wired [Japan Ed.] (1976)

Year: May 1976 (CD 23 Feb. 2005)
Label: Epic Records (Japan), MHCP 589
Style: Jazz Fusion, Funk, Instrumental
Country: England (24 June 1944 - 10 January 2023)
Time: 37:13
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 253 Mb

Charts: UK #38, AUS #17, CAN #14, JPN #7, US #16. CAN: Gold, US: Platinum.
Of the album tracks, four are originals by Narada Michael Walden and one by Jan Hammer. Max Middleton contributed the homage to Led Zeppelin, "Led Boots", and Beck chose to interpret the Charles Mingus ode to saxophonist Lester Young, "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat", from the classic 1959 jazz album Mingus Ah Um. These last two tracks were long-time staples of Beck's performance repertoire.
Wired received mostly positive reviews when it was released. In Rolling Stone, the reviewer cited it as being full of "fire and imagination". However, Robert Christgau faulted it as technically proficient but soulless, calling it "mindless trickery". Engineer Peter Henderson later said of the album, "I listened to that a few years later and it sounded like it had been recorded direct to cassette. I don't think it was one of my finer moments."
Writing for AllMusic, Mark Kirschenmann said, "Within a two-year span, the twin towers Blow by Blow and Wired set a standard for instrumental rock that even Beck has found difficult to match. On Wired, with first-rate material and collaborators on hand, one of rock's most compelling guitarists is in top form."

BTO - Trial By Fire - Greatest & Latest (1996)

Year: 1996 (CD 1996)
Label: CMC Records (????), 44032-2
Style: Rock, Hard Rock
Country: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Time: 67:40
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 506 Mb

One of the group's two main cogs, RANDY BACHMAN, is absent here, hence the "BTO" monicker in place of BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE. C.F. TURNER, the greatest gravel-in-the-gut belter since JOHN FOGERTY, goes through the motions on remakes of LET IT RIDE and ROLL ON DOWN THE HIGHWAY, also belching out a so-so cover of HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN. He comes nowhere close to trumping the originals, so what's the point? New member RANDY MURRAY's hollow vocal imitations of the "other" RANDY on YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET and HEY YOU (an obvious rehash of their other hits) are unlistenable. BTO should have jumped on the UNPLUGGED trend, delivering newly arranged acoustic treatments of their classic catalogue. Or maybe pumped out an all-covers collection of bluesy rockers tailor made for FRED's banshee wail. A whole album of original music would have served fans best of all...good, bad, or ugly (the album, not the fans).

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery [Japan Ed.] (1973)

After the release of their third album, Trilogy, in June 1972, the group toured across Europe and the United States, playing in sold-out venues. By the beginning of 1973, Emerson, Lake & Palmer had become commercially successful in both the UK and the US.
The group had become somewhat dissatisfied with their record label Atlantic Records for a lack of involvement. Around January 1973 Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, Carl Palmer, and their manager Stewart Young decided to form their own record company. Together, they bought an abandoned ABC cinema in Fulham, West London and converted it into a rehearsal room and company headquarters, which would later be named Manticore Records. Lake said: "We set up Manticore to try and make the entire record process as good as it could be. We were also aware of a number of artists who we knew were having problems getting their music released and getting a record deal". Since the group knew that they would not have enough time to run their company, Atlantic promoter Mario Medious, who had worked with the group since their debut album, was brought in to serve as the president of Manticore in April 1973. Atlantic handled distribution duties.

Secret Oyster - Vidunderlige Kaelling (1975)

Year: 1975 (CD Sep 6, 2005)
Label: The Laser's Edge (US), LE1050
Style: Jazz Rock, Instrumental, Art Rock, Fusion
Country: Denmark
Time: 48:56
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 278 Mb

SECRET OYSTER became somewhat of a super group when members of BURNIN'RED IVANHOE, CORONARIAS DANS and HURDY GURDY formed this unit. By the end of BURNIN' RED IVANHOE's career (that spawned seven years), Karsten Vogel started forming a new band taking along with him BRI's drummer Thrige and often jazz-partner bassist Vinding with him. Knowing from the Danish circuit guitarist Claus Bohling, he enticed him into the band that took its name from a track from BRI's second album Secret Oysters Service. The last to join was keyboardist Knudsen, who had never played an electric instrument prior to entering this outfit, but was playing in a piano avant-garde trio. Knudsen would prove particularly helpful as the second songwriter of the group and allowing Vogel to leave the keyboards at will to play wind instruments.
Their sound recalled MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA, NUCLEUS, Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi and Sextant albums as well as Miles DAVIS's Bitches Brew. Quite a success and this prompted their record company to release that album internationally but under the title "Furtive Pearl". After a line-up changze that saw the rhythm section get a complete overhaul (Staer for Vinding and Streenberg for Thrige) their second album, Sea Son, is even better but failed to get international public recognition, even if all connoisseur will mostly agree on this album being the band's apex. At one point the line-up of this group was also exactly the same as BURNIN' RED IVANHOE (after it got revived because they also developed rockier material) as well as a third outfit, "Day Of The Phoenix". This did not stop them from writing the music to a ballet "Vidunderlinge Kaelling" released as an album under the name of "Astarte", with very mixed results just a few months before their final album, the much better "Straight From The Krankenhaus" also known as "Orlander".
Aside from their confusion of their album names and general discography, SECRET OYSTER is a great jazz-rock/fusion outfit that deserved a lot more attention for they were almost as good as the groups named above.

Soft Machine - Hidden Details [Japan Ed.] (2018)

Year: 7 September 2018 (CD Aug 15, 2018)
Label: Vivid Sound Corporation (Japan), VSCD4429
Style: Jazz Rock, Fusion, Progressive Rock
Country: Canterbury, England
Time: 63:15
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 336 Mb

Hidden Details is the first album released under the Soft Machine moniker since Land of Cockayne in 1981, with a six-night residency at Ronnie Scott's club in 1984 being the last time Soft Machine were active until 2015. Several members from Soft Machine's history operated under the name "Soft Machine Legacy" from 2004 until dropping the "Legacy" from their name in 2015, thus re-activating Soft Machine after 31 years. This album was recorded by the same line-up that released the Soft Machine Legacy album Burden of Proof in 2013. From the 1984 line-up were drummer John Marshall, who joined Soft Machine in 1972, and guitarist John Etheridge, who joined in 1975 and left in 1978 before re-joining for the 1984 shows. Bassist Roy Babbington, who was with Soft Machine during 1973 to 1976, was also included, while Theo Travis completed the line-up on keyboards and saxophone.

Jefferson Airplane - Jefferson Airplane [Reunion] (1989)

Year: August 22, 1989 (CD 1989)
Label: Epic Records (Europe), 465659 2
Style: Rock, Pop Rock
Country: San Francisco, California, U.S.
Time: 54:42
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 345 Mb

Jefferson Airplane is the eighth and final studio album by San Francisco rock band Jefferson Airplane, released on Epic Records in 1989. Marty Balin, Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady all returned for the album and supporting tour, though Spencer Dryden did not participate. The album and accompanying tour would mark the last time Jefferson Airplane would perform together until their 1996 induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Paul Kantner, Marty Balin, and Jack Casady had toured as the KBC Band and released an eponymous album in 1986. Grace Slick had recently left Starship after performing lead vocals on their album No Protection in 1987, and planned to retire from music. Jorma Kaukonen had been performing solo work and performing live with Jack Casady as Hot Tuna. Kantner left KBC Band in 1987 but joined Hot Tuna on stage for the 1987–1988 tour. Kaukonen invited Slick to play a concert at the Fillmore with Hot Tuna in 1988 where she performed harmony vocals on "Third Week in the Chelsea" and lead vocals along with Kantner for "Wooden Ships". In 1989, Slick was convinced to join the band again and the five members finally got together to discuss a reunion tour and album. Joining Jefferson Airplane for the tour along with Kenny Aronoff on drums were Tim Gorman – who had played with KBC Band – on keyboards, Randy Jackson on guitar, and Jorma's brother Peter Kaukonen also on guitar. Gorman and Jackson did not participate on the album. Aronoff joined the band as drummer for the tour and in the studio. The album was produced by Ron Nevison, who had previously produced the Jefferson Starship albums Freedom at Point Zero, Modern Times and Nuclear Furniture, as well as Slick's solo album Software. Kaukonen was displeased with Kantner and Slick's methods in the studio; "Their approach to recording was not the way we used to do it in the old days. It was very much the modular, sequenced LA way of recording. It works for some people but not me. It just wasn't even fun. It was well done but not very passionate."

The most embarrassing track Mark Knopfler has ever recorded. I get the joke but it's not funny at all. People loving this is making things even worse, cause they didn't get it at all... having said this, the album from which it's been taken is hugely underrated. But it'd have been better without "Ticket to Heaven"!

The artist for tracks 3 and 4 are not given on the release; these two songs are from Music From The Film Comfort And Joy.

Mahogany Rush - Mahogany Rush IV [Japan Ed.] (1976)

Year: 1976 (CD November 1, 1992)
Label: Sony Records (Japan), SRC 6244
Style: Hard Rock
Country: Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Time: 44:09
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 266 Mb

Mahogany Rush was a Canadian rock band led by guitarist Frank Marino. Formed in Montreal, Quebec in 1969, the band had its peak of popularity in the 1970s, playing venues as large as California Jam II.
The band is perhaps best known for Marino's soaring lead guitar which bears a strong resemblance to the playing of Jimi Hendrix. Long-term members of the band have included bassist Paul Harwood and drummer Jimmy Ayoub, and Frank's brother Vince on guitar; Frank Marino is the sole continuous member of the band. Starting in the late 1970s, the group recorded and toured as Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush.
In an effort to gain press attention, the original record company created a fictional story that Frank Marino, prior to starting the band, had spent time in a mental institution after taking LSD and was visited by Jimi Hendrix in a vision.
Over time, the band migrated to a larger and more financially supported record company and achieved its greatest radio hit success with the song "Strange Dreams". The single "A New Rock & Roll" reached #70 on the Canadian charts.

Puhdys - Zwanzig Hits Aus Dreissig Jahren 1969-1999 (1999)

Year: 1969-1999 (CD 1999)
Label: BMG Music (Germany), 74321636152
Style: Rock, Hard Rock, Pop Rock
Country: Oranienburg, East Germany
Time: 78:23
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 592 Mb

The Puhdys developed out of the Udo-Wendel-Combo, founded in 1965. When guitarist and singer Wendel left the band late in the year, it needed a new name. The four members took the letters from their first names - keyboardist Peter Meyer, drummer Udo Jacob, bassist (and sometimes manager) Harry Jeske, and lead guitarist and singer Dieter Hertrampf (who had replaced Wendel) - to become the Puhdys (the name otherwise has no specific meaning).
The band went through further personnel changes until 1969, when they were given a professional performance license, which was all-important in East Germany. By then, Jacob had been replaced by Gunter Wosylus and vocalist-guitarist Dieter Birr had joined, cementing the band's lineup for the next ten years; the band dates this, rather than 1965, as its foundation. (The two Dieters are differentiated by their nicknames: "Quaster" Hertrampf, from a corruption of the title of The Shadows' "Quartermaster's Stores", after his long attempt to learn the Hank Marvin guitar solo; and "Maschine" Birr, once called an "eating machine" by his bandmates for his voracious appetite).
Their first concert took place in Freiberg, Saxony, on 21 November 1969. Early performances were heavily influenced by British hard rock bands such as Deep Purple and Uriah Heep, although the band were fond of earlier American rockers such as Elvis Presley. At first, they largely performed cover versions of foreign acts. Although there was a great demand for covers in East Germany, largely because the audience was unable to buy western albums, rock music was still viewed with suspicion in East Germany. The artistic climate changed after Erich Honecker came to power in 1971, and the Puhdys were offered the chance to record for the state-run Amiga label, as long as they performed in the German language and remained apolitical.
The result was the band's first single, "Turen offnen sich zur Stadt" (Doors Open To The City), recorded in 1971. At over five minutes in length, it showed the influence of progressive rock, in particular Uriah Heep's "Gypsy", and established the Puhdys as one of East Germany's top bands. Its music was composed by Birr, who had emerged as the band's main singer, and the lyrics were written by Wolfgang Tilgner, who would remain one of the band's principal lyricists, along with Burkhard Lasch.

(amazon.com/Live-1969-JOHN-BLUESBREAKERS-MAYALL/dp/B00021LQG4) Review by KvM. January 21, 2017
Get this album - it's the best British blues album I have ever heard. Not to say that this album is all blues: There are country influences, scat-singing, drum and harmonica solos and great long jams, not to mention the beautiful ballad "Sleeping by Her Side". This really is something else than your average "rocked-up" British blues of the 60s. My words don't do this album justice. Dig it.

Rock 'n' Roll is the sixth solo studio album by English musician John Lennon. Released in February 1975, it is an album of late 1950s and early 1960s songs as covered by Lennon. Recording the album was problematic and spanned an entire year: Phil Spector produced sessions in October 1973 at A&M Studios, and Lennon produced sessions in October 1974 at the Record Plant (East). Lennon was being sued by Morris Levy over copyright infringement of one line in his Beatles song "Come Together". As part of an agreement, Lennon had to include three Levy-owned songs on Rock 'n' Roll. Spector disappeared with the session recordings and was subsequently involved in a motor accident, leaving the album's tracks unrecoverable until the beginning of the Walls and Bridges sessions. With Walls and Bridges coming out first, featuring one Levy-owned song, Levy sued Lennon expecting to see Lennon's Rock 'n' Roll album.
The album reached number 6 in both the United Kingdom and the United States, later being certified gold in both countries. It was supported by the single "Stand by Me", which peaked at number 20 in the US, and 30 in the UK. The cover photo was taken by Jurgen Vollmer during the Beatles' stay in Hamburg. It was to be Lennon's last solo album; with no recording contract obligation, he was on hiatus from the music business to raise his son Sean. Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono staged a comeback with their joint release Double Fantasy in 1980.

Salvatore "Toto" Cutugno (7 July 1943 – 22 August 2023) was an Italian pop singer-songwriter, musician, and television presenter. He was best known for his worldwide hit song, "L'Italiano", released on his 1983 album of the same title. Cutugno also won the Eurovision Song Contest 1990 held in Zagreb, SFR Yugoslavia, with the song "Insieme: 1992", for which he wrote both the lyrics and music. He has been described as "one of the most popular singers in Italy and a symbol of Italian melody abroad", as well as "one of the most popular Italian performers on a global scale" and "one of the most successful Italian songwriters of all time", selling over 100 million records worldwide.
Cutugno began his musical career as a drummer, and at 19 he founded his first band, Toto e i Tati. He later formed the disco band Albatros together with Lino Losito and Mario Limongelli. He also started a career as a songwriter, contributing some of French-American singer Joe Dassin most well-known songs such as "L'ete indien", "Et si tu n'existais pas", and "Le Jardin du Luxembourg" (written with Vito Pallavicini). He also co-wrote Dalida's "Monday Tuesday... Laissez moi danser" ("Voglio l'anima" in its Italian version), which achieved Platinum record status shortly after being released, as well as songs for Johnny Hallyday, Mireille Mathieu, Ornella Vanoni, Domenico Modugno, Claude Francois, Gigliola Cinquetti, Gerard Lenorman, Michel Sardou, Herve Vilard, and Paul Mauriat.
