The Angry Young Them is the first album by the Northern Irish rock and roll group Them. The band's lead singer and songwriter was Van Morrison. In the U.S., the album was released as Them with partly different tracks.
As with several Decca releases of the period, the name of the group was conspicuously absent from the front cover and on the back of the LP they were introduced as The Angry Young Them with an essay on this theme declaring: "These five young rebels are outrageously true to themselves. Defiant! Angry! Sad! They are honest to the point of insult!"
Six of the songs on the album were Morrison originals, including the famous garage band anthem "Gloria". Another song on the album, "Mystic Eyes", was a spontaneous creation that came out of the band just "busking around" in Morrison's words and after seven minutes of instrumental playing he impulsively threw in the words of a song he had been working on. The lengthy versions of "Gloria" that the band performed at the Maritime and the ten-minute recording of "Mystic Eyes" have never surfaced. All that is left of the "Mystic Eyes" performance is the little over 21⁄2 minutes on the album that remained after splicing out from the beginning and ending. "You Just Can't Win" was a Dylan inspired song about a gold digger, set in specific places in London such as Camden Town. "Little Girl" was about a boy's obsession with a fourteen-year-old school girl (an earlier take on Lord's Taverners charity album had been deleted when a four-letter word was heard in the fade out at the end). "If You And I Could Be As Two" starts with a spoken introduction by Morrison with an aggressive Irish accent. Three Bert Berns originals were included and a cover of John Lee Hooker's "Don't Look Back" was considered by Morrison to be his finest vocal to date.

Faces - A Nod's As Good As A Wink [Japan Edition] (1971)

Year: 17 November 1971 (CD Jun 23, 2010)
Label: Warner Bros. Records (Japan), WPCR 13841
Style: Rock, R&B
Country: London, England

Well, now this doesn’t make any sense at all. Rod Stewart has three solo albums out, all of them excellent. With the release of A Nod Is As Good As A Wink … the Faces, with Stewart singing lead, have three albums out, each of them duller than the one that preceded it, and with the first one having been none too great to begin with. It is apparent that when Stewart takes charge of his music he elevates the musicianship of everyone around him; when he submerges himself in the artistic group democracy of this particular band he only succeeds in bringing himself down to the level of the group’s lowest common denominator. Thus, at the same time he is riding the success of an intensely personal and beautifully crafted solo album, Every Picture Tells A Story, he participates in the making of another almost completely devoid of personality, character, depth, or vision.
The Faces do not, as some have recently alleged, play badly. They are more than competent, especially at creating a mid-Sixties Rolling Stones-styled groove, as their excellent version of "Memphis" proves. But like most rockers who just barely miss their mark, they can’t sustain ideas, so their music tends to be filled with bits and pieces - a bright 30 seconds there, an exciting riff here - and then back into a basic track that is usually melodically undistinguished, unimaginatively arranged, and sounds as much of a bore to listen to as it must have been to record.
"Miss Judy’s Farm" starts off strong enough with some Ron Wood guitar and then the whole band riffing behind him. But as soon as the vocal commences, the song emerges as the dog that it is, and what started off sounding funky now just sounds like rock band hacking. "Stay With Me" is a better example of a riff song, but isn’t all that exciting either - the ending is an obvious cop from Stewart’s own arrangement (performed with the Faces) of "It’s All Over Now," from Gasoline Alley.
"That’s All You Need" contains something of the groove heard on "Cut Across Shorty" and "Every Picture Tells A Story," but there is absolutely no song present here. Ron Wood plays some great slide guitar, especially on "Memphis," but his bashing about on this cut is just plain awful.
Perhaps the Faces recognize that their days with Stewart are numbered. For on this album Ron Lane makes his debut as a regular lead singer with the band, taking his turn on, "You’re So Rude," "Last Orders Please," and "Debris." And not badly either. He has plenty of charm, some real wit, and considerable style, if not a great lead voice, and he certainly bears watching in the future. In some perverse way, it occasionally seemed to me that his efforts were at least more natural and less forced than Stewart’s on this particular album. His best number is "Last Orders Please."

Ten Years After - Cricklewood Green (1970)

Year: March 1970 (CD ????)
Label: Chrysalis Records (U.S.), F2 21084, DIDX1429
Style: Classic Rock, Blues Rock
Country: Nottingham, UK
Time: 39:15
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 205 Mb

Charts: Australia #19, U,S. #14, UK #4, Can #11, Den #5, Fin #8, Ger #8, Ita #17, Nor #8.
Cricklewood Green was the 4th studio album by English blues rockers Ten Years After, (TYA) released in 1970, it is a record typical of the druggy, trippy sounds of the day, with rousing guitar work by lead guitarist Alvin Lee on his semi-hollow body Gibson ES-335 ‘Big Red’ or his Heritage H-535. The record is perhaps their best studio recording worked over by sound engineer Andy Johns with effects and tricks that were new for the time, and keep this record clean and somewhat crisp from top to bottom.
Founded in 1966, this band of Englishmen named the group in honour of Elvis Presley, Lee’s idol, 10 years after his most successful year in 1956. Cricklewood Green is a tasty collection of driving rock pieces starting off with two gems, Sugar on the Road, which sounds spacey at first then faraway drums emerge up close with Lee’s mercurial riffs and a bass groove that soar. Working on the Road is a chugging bluesy rock number that features not only brilliant work by the lead guitar and organ, but Ric Lee’s drum work propels the song to climactic heights. Track three 50,000 Miles Beneath My Brain is classic psychedelica that floats on the TYA jam approach, which is intensely moody. “I want to know you, I want to show you, I want to grow you, inside of me. I want to see you I want to free you, I want to be you, inside of me”; a trippy song ,definitive of the day. Things turn towards honky tonk-like country in Year 3000 Blues, where the band shows off their abundant talents with Leo Lyons on bass, and Chic Churchill on keyboards. This is a tidy little ditty much admired in the American south for its twang and giddyup!
Track 8, Me and My Baby showcases their jazz/swing chops to surprising delight, with Lyons ‘walking’ bassline, some delicious tickling of the ivories by Churchill, and Lee’s signature guitar work to round off the number. Love Like a Man hit #10 on U.K. singles chart and got a ton of FM radio airtime. The song is reminiscent of The Doors, with some excellent organ licks that built on a rolling rhythm section and a scorching series of solos by Lee that make this record perhaps their best ever. A ‘fun fact’ about this song is that it was the first record to have a song played in 2 speeds, a 3-minute 45rpm on one side, and an 8-minute version played at 33 rpms on the other, (the long one is on this album).  
The album closes with the hippy-like acoustic set on Circles, where you can practically smell the sweet ‘summer of love’ incense in the air. As The Sun Still Burns Away, is another churning rocker built on the organ and guitar riff-off, and tops off this superb album.
Alvin Lee was considered by many the fastest lead guitarist of his day, with his lightning finger work on his crisp, disciplined solos. The record is a mixed bag of delights to put it simply; from blues/rock, to psychedelic, from country to jazzy hip-hop. It is a classic, a record  for your collection and one that would make space on any Christmas shopping list.

Rod Stewart - A Night On The Town [Japan Edition] (1976)

Year: 18 June 1976 (CD Oct 26, 2005)
Label: Warner Bros. Records (Japan), WPCR-75099
Style: Soft Rock, Rock
Country: London, England (10 January 1945)
Time: 41:10
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 289 Mb

A Night on the Town is Rod Stewart's seventh album, released in 1976. The cover art is based on Pierre-Auguste Renoir's painting Bal du moulin de la Galette, with Stewart inserted in the centre in period costume. On 30 June 2009, Rhino reissued the album as a two-disc CD with bonus tracks. A Night on the Town was Stewart's last UK number-one studio album until Time in 2013.
The album is regarded as one of Stewart's finest. "The Killing of Georgie" is one of Stewart's most hard hitting set of lyrics, a melancholic tale of a gay friend who is cast out by his family and becomes a sensation in the New York nightlife, only to be murdered by a New Jersey gang during an attempted robbery. Controversial "Tonight's the Night" was a No. 1 hit but was banned by some radio stations due to the very obvious lyrics about sex and loss of virginity. A cover of Cat Stevens' "The First Cut Is the Deepest" was also a success and has since become one of Stewart's signature songs.

Faces - First Step [Japan Edition] (1970)

Year: March 27, 1970 (CD Jun 23, 2010)
Label: Warner Bros. Records (Japan), WPCR 13839
Style: Rock, R&B
Country: London, England
Time: 47:26
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 309 Mb

The album reached #119 on the Billboard 200.
First Step is the debut album by the British group Faces, released in early 1970. The album was released only a few months after the Faces had formed from the ashes of the Small Faces (from which Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones and Ian McLagan hailed) and The Jeff Beck Group (from which Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood hailed.) The album is credited to the Small Faces on all North American issues and reissues, while record labels for initial vinyl printings give the title as The First Step.
The album cover shows Ronnie Wood holding a copy of Geoffrey Sisley's seminal guitar tutorial First Step: How to Play the Guitar Plectrum Style.
While the album was recorded after the group's official formation and signing to Warner Bros. Records in the Autumn of 1969, the band members had been rehearsing, performing and recording together in various combinations since May of that year.
At 46:22, First Step is the band's lengthiest original release and many modern critics regard it as promising, but sprawling and unfocused - their least cohesive and most undisciplined offering. It is however perhaps the most democratic of the Faces releases, highlighting the band's talents as a unified whole and affording each member at least one composer credit, as opposed to the perceived dominance of Stewart and his songwriting partnership with Wood as their career progressed.

Ten Years After - Stonedhenge (1969)

Year: January 1969 (US), 7 February 1969 (UK) (CD 1989)

"I'm Going Home" from Ten Years After's previous release put them on the charts, at least in the U.K. (the band's U.S. breakthrough was at Woodstock a year after its release), but the four-piece was already experimenting with ways to expand their basic boogie rock template. Stonedhenge was the result, as producer Mike Vernon helped steer the band into a more jazz- and blues-oriented direction. That's especially evident in the swinging "Woman Trouble," but this set is generally more prone to broadening the sound without losing TYA's basic concept. It doesn't always gel -- the four short pieces that feature each musician alone on their instrument is an interesting idea that ends up as a distraction -- yet the album boasts some terrific performances by a group that was hitting its peak. Canned Heat, who TYA supported in America and who were also trying to push their own boogie envelope, were a big influence, born out by the very Heat-sounding "Hear Me Calling." Alvin Lee keeps his fleet fingers in check, preferring to work his style into a more organic fusion. Tracks such as the creeping "A Sad Song" successfully build tension without the need for speedy guitar solos. The eight-minute "No Title" takes the basic TYA blueprint but slowly creates a moody atmosphere for three minutes until Lee cranks out a terse, loud extension on its main riff that sets the stage for Chick Churchill's eerie organ solo. The quartet and their producer also experimented with primitive panning and tape manipulation to impressive results. The closing "Speed Kills" returns TYA to its basics, perhaps as a way to let its existing fans know they can still churn out the rocking when needed. The album was remastered and expanded in 2002 by adding informative liner notes from drummer Ric Lee, four extra tracks including the tiresome, 15-minute "Boogie On," and an edited single version of "I'm Going Home," U.K. artwork (the initial U.S. edition was an embarrassing botch job), and pristine sound from the original tapes.

Kiss - Alive III (2xLP on 1xCD) [Japan Edition] (1993)

Year: May 18, 1993 (CD 1993)

Style: Hard Rock, Rock

Finally!! Kiss decided to release another live album and this one is ‘Alive III’ which was 17 years after their last release. Now they did release a live video, but this is the first album since ‘Alive II’ in 1977. The band recorded the album during the Revenge Tour in 1992 and used the recordings from the Cleveland, Detroit and Indianapolis stops of the tour. This is also the first live album of the Non-Makeup era and the first to not have the original Kiss line-up. The line-up is of course Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, but now it is Eric Singer on Drums and still Bruce Kulick on guitar. Oh yeah, and off to the side of the stage on keyboards is Derek Sherinian who toured with the band at this time since they added keyboards to a lot of the late 80’s songs.
Now unlike ‘Alive!’ and ‘Alive II’ which stayed away from repeating a song the other release had, this one does not do that. It has a few repeats with “Deuce”, “Watchin’ You”, “Rock & Roll All Nite” and “Detroit Rock City”. I have to say with 17 tracks, to only repeat 4 is actually not that bad. The rest of the songs cover albums from ‘Dynasty’ up to their latest release ‘Revenge’ which is a very broad spectrum, however, they don’t cover any songs from ‘Unmasked’, ‘Music From the Elder’, ‘Asylum’ or even ‘Crazy Nights’.
The band brought in Eddie Kramer to produce the album as he had done both ‘Alive!’ and ‘Alive II’. Why would they not. I am sure this album is full of overdubs and really isn’t that live, but I didn’t care on the other two, I don’t really care now. It sounds live and that is all I care about anyway.

Judie Tzuke - Secret Agent (1998)

Year: 1998 (CD 1998)
Label: Big Moon Records (UK), BM003
Style: Pop Rock, Soft Rock
Country: London, England (3 April 1956)
Time: 57:05
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 376 Mb

Tzuke's family relocated from Poland to England in the 1920s, and changed their surname from Tzuke to Myers, like other Jewish families from Eastern Europe. Her mother, Jean Silverside, was a television actress, and her father, Sefton Myers, was a successful property developer who also managed artists and singers-most notably Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice during the writing of Jesus Christ Superstar. Tzuke preferred the original family name, started using it at school and so, when Tzuke embarked on her singing career, she used it as her stage name.
Educated in the visual arts, performing arts, and music, Tzuke performed in folk clubs from the age of 15. Her meeting with Mike Paxman in 1975 was a turning point and they began to collaborate. Under the name Tzuke & Paxo, they eventually secured a recording contract and the duo released a single, 'These are the Laws', produced by Tony Visconti.
Tzuke's career as a solo artist began in 1977, when she signed to Elton John's label The Rocket Record Company. Her first single on Rocket, 'For You', was released in 1978. Her only notable success, 'Stay with Me till Dawn', was released in 1979. The song, which was co-written with Mike Paxman, became a top 20 hit on the UK Singles Chart in the summer of 1979 and a top 10 hit in Australia and was featured on Tzuke's 1979 debut album, Welcome to the Cruise, which was also a top 20 hit on the UK Albums Chart. In 2002, 'Stay with Me till Dawn' was chosen by the British public in a poll of the 50 Best British Songs 1952-2002 (ranking at number 39). The song was also sampled by Mylo in the song 'Need You Tonite', from his 2004 album Destroy Rock & Roll.
Tzuke's second album, Sports Car (1980), charted higher than her debut album (reaching No. 7 in the UK) and contained one single, 'Living on the Coast', which failed to chart. Both albums were certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry in 1981. Tzuke became Elton John's support act for his North American tour, and she was the opening act in front of 400,000 people who turned out to watch his free concert at New York's Central Park on September 13, 1980. She went on to release one more album on Rocket, I Am the Phoenix (1981), which also made the UK top 20.

Ssssh is the third studio album by blues rock band Ten Years After, released in 1969. The album charted #20 on the Billboard 200 and #4 on the UK charts.
Ten Years After are a British blues rock band, most popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Between 1968 and 1973, Ten Years After scored eight Top 40 albums on the UK Albums Chart. In addition, they had twelve albums enter the US Billboard 200.
They are best known for tracks such as "I'm Going Home", "Hear Me Calling", "I'd Love to Change the World" and "Love Like a Man". Their musical style consisted of blues rock and hard rock.
The group was the first act booked by the soon-to-be Chrysalis Agency. It secured a residency at the Marquee, and was invited to play at the Windsor Jazz Festival in 1967. That performance led to a contract with Deram, a subsidiary of Decca — the first band Deram signed without a hit single. In October 1967 they released the self-titled debut album, Ten Years After. In 1968, after touring Scandinavia and the United States, Ten Years After released a second album, the live Undead, with a first version of the noteworthy song, "I'm Going Home". They followed this in February 1969 by the studio issue Stonedhenge, a British hit that included another well-known track, "Hear Me Calling", which was also released as a single. (In 1972, this song was covered by the British glam rock rising stars, Slade.) In July 1969, the group appeared at the Newport Jazz Festival, in the first event rock bands were invited to. Between 26 and 27 July 1969, they appeared at the Seattle Pop Festival held at Gold Creek Park. On 17 August, the band performed a breakthrough American appearance at Woodstock; their rendition of "I'm Going Home" featuring Alvin Lee as lead singer/lead guitar, was featured in both the subsequent film and soundtrack album and catapulted them to star status. In 1970, Ten Years After released "Love Like a Man", the group's only hit in the UK Singles Chart, where it peaked at #10. It was the first record issued with a different playing speed on each side: a three-minute edit at 45 rpm, and a nearly eight-minute live version at 33 rpm. The full studio version song appeared on the band's fifth album, their most successful in Britain, Cricklewood Green. In August 1970, they played the Strawberry Fields Festival near Toronto, and the Isle of Wight Festival 1970.
