Yes - Fragile [Vinyl Rip] (1971)

Year: 12 November 1971 (LP ???? )
Label: Atlantic Records (Germany), K 50 009
Style: Symphonic Rock
Country: London, England
Time: 41:00
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 253 Mb

Charts: AUS #29, Can #6, JAP #22, NL #8, UK #7, US 4. Canada & UK - Platinum, US - 2x Platinum. Single "Roundabout" - CAN 39, NL #27, Jap #72, US #13.
Fragile is the fourth studio album by the English progressive rock band Yes, released on 12 November 1971 by Atlantic Records. It was the band's first album to feature keyboardist Rick Wakeman, who replaced Tony Kaye after the group had finished touring their breakthrough record, The Yes Album (1971).
The band entered rehearsals in London in August 1971, but Kaye's reluctance to play electronic keyboards led to his departure from the group. He was quickly replaced by Wakeman, whose virtuosity, compositional skills, and experience with the electric piano, organ, Mellotron, and Moog synthesizer expanded the band's sound. Due to budget and time constraints, four tracks on the album are group compositions; the remaining five are short solo pieces by each band member. The opening track, "Roundabout", became a popular and iconic song. The artwork for the album was the band's first to be designed by Roger Dean, who would design many of their future covers.
Fragile received a mostly positive reception, with some criticism directed at the solo tracks. It became a greater commercial success than its predecessor, reaching No. 4 on the US Billboard Top LPs chart and No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart. The Fragile Tour saw Yes perform over 100 dates across the UK and the US, during which they became a headlining act. An edited version of "Roundabout" was released as a single in the US in January 1972, which reached No. 13. Fragile was certified Platinum in the UK and double Platinum in the US, where it has sold over two million copies. It has been remastered several times, with some containing previously unreleased tracks.

Status Quo - Picturesque Matchstickable Messages From The Status Quo (2CD mono / stereo) (1968)

Year: 27 September 1968 (CD 2003)
Label: Castle Music (USA), CMEDD718
Style: Rock
Country: London, England
Time: 59:10, 65:14
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 233, 365 Mb

The album's lead single was originally intended to be "Gentleman Joe's Sidewalk Cafe", with the original Francis Rossi composition "Pictures of Matchstick Men" as the b-side, but these songs were eventually swapped round. It reached #7 in the UK, and remains the band's only major hit single in the US, where it reached #12. It also reached #8 in Canada. A second single, Rossi's "Black Veils of Melancholy" (with organist Roy Lynes' non-album track "To Be Free" as the b-side), flopped and has even been called "a carbon copy of "Pictures of Matchstick Men"". The third single, "Ice in the Sun", was written for the band by Marty Wilde and Ronnie Scott (not the jazz musician), with the Rossi/Parfitt composition "When My Mind Is Not Live" as the b-side. It reached #8 in the UK, and #29 in Canada.
The album itself was released on 27 September 1968, and failed to make the UK album charts. The band planned to release a fourth single from the album - "Technicolour Dreams" backed with the Wilde/Scott composition "Paradise Flat" - but this was withdrawn after a few days in favour of a non-album single release early the following year. The new single, Rossi and Parfitt's "Make Me Stay a Bit Longer", with bassist Alan Lancaster's "Auntie Nellie" as the b-side, was released on 31 January 1969. As well as getting the "thumbs up" from a majority of the record reviewers, this single was also something of a landmark for the group, as it would be their final release to credit them as "the" Status Quo.

Blue Cheer - Vincebus Eruptum [Vinyl Rip] (1968)

Year: 1968 (LP 2003)
Label: Akarma Records (Italy), AK 011
Style: Hard Rock, Blues Rock
Country: San Francisco, California, U.S.
Time: 34:12

Size: 219 Mb

Blue Cheer's debut album was recorded in 1967 at Amigo Studios in North Hollywood, California. In an interview with StonerRock.com, frontman Dickie Peterson explained that "Some songs I wrote have taken 20 years to really complete. And there are other songs like 'Doctor Please' or 'Out of Focus' that I wrote in ten minutes." On "Doctor Please" in particular, Peterson explained that "when I wrote the song (in 1967), it was a glorification of drugs. I was going through a lot of 'Should I take this drug or should I not take this drug? Blah, blah, blah.' There was a lot of soul searching at the time when I wrote that song, and I actually decided to take it. That’s what that song was about and that’s what I sang it about, sort of a drug anthem for me." On the band's cover of Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues", Peterson noted that "We kept changing it around and adding/taking bits away. It also has to do with large doses of LSD.

AC/DC - Live (1992)

Year: 27 October 1992 (CD 1992)
Label: Atco Records (????), AMCY-472
Style: Hard Rock
Country: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
TiMe: 71:02
ForMat: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 522 Mb

Despite the fact that the band's best days were obviously behind theM, a live albuM for AC/DC was all but coMpletely necessary. After all, the group's first live release, If You Want Blood You've Got It, was recorded at a tiMe when AC/DC was nothing More than a cult act that had yet to produce Many of its future rock staples. Though recorded well into their career on the Razor's Edge 1991 tour, AC/DC Live surprisingly captures the hype and exciteMent that Made AC/DC such a hit in their heyday. The set list wisely overlooks the songs froM the band's Mid-'80s sluMp and concentrates on hard rock hits such as 'Hells Bells,' 'Back in Black,' 'Highway to Hell,' and 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.' Brian Johnson's voice May not be as strong as in the early '80s, but he still sounds coMpetent in his role. All too often, a live albuM is a cheaply Made, rushed recording that only serves as a testaMent to a band's decline. AC/DC Live, however, shows what Makes this band different froM their peers -- here they are still entirely capable of pulling off a great live show. This ranks aMong the best live Metal albuMs of the '90s.
(allMusic.coM/albuM/live-Mw0000616074)

AC/DC's second live albuM was recorded over several dates on 1991's The Razor's Edge Tour and features tracks cut in Glasgow, Moscow, Donington, BirMinghaM (England) and EdMonton, Canada. If you considered it as a follow up to If You Want Blood, the setlist works as a celebration of the Brian Johnson years: the likes of Heatseeker, Money Talks, Thunderstruck and, of course, tracks froM Back In Black, nestle against half a dozen Bon-era tracks - and don't suffer by the coMparison. At all.
Live is a triuMphant refutation to anyone who still claiMs 'DC died with Bon. Jonno is in fine voice and good huMour throughout, and the live setting gives Angus space to stretch out a bit. Released as a single and double disc Collector's Edition, it's worth getting the latter, Mostly because you get to hear the band's epic 14 Minute, solo-laced, take on Jailbreak, but also just because - duh - More AC/DC is obviously better than less.

Ringo Starr (The Beatles) - Beaucoups Of Blues (1970)

Year: 25 September 1970 (CD 1995)
Label: EMI Records (Europe), 7243 8 32675 2 1
Style: Folk, World, Country
Country: Liverpool, England (7 July 1940)
Time: 44:56
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 254 Mb

Beaucoups of Blues is the second studio album by the English rock musician and former Beatle Ringo Starr. It was released in September 1970, five months after his debut solo album, Sentimental Journey. Beaucoups of Blues is very far removed in style from its pop-based predecessor, relying on country and western influences. A longtime fan of the genre, Starr recorded the album over three days in Nashville with producer Pete Drake and an ensemble of local session players. Beaucoups of Blues failed to chart in Britain but achieved moderate commercial success in the United States, where it reached number 35 on Billboard's Country Albums list and number 65 on the Billboard Top LPs chart.
During Ringo Starr's tenure with the Beatles he had dabbled with country music: he sang lead on the band's cover of the country song "Act Naturally", co-wrote the country-influenced track "What Goes On" and wrote the country song "Don't Pass Me By". Before these recordings, Starr's championing of the genre inspired the band's move towards country music on their 1964 album Beatles for Sale. While playing on sessions for George Harrison's All Things Must Pass in May–June 1970, Starr met American pedal steel guitarist Pete Drake, whom Harrison arranged to fly to London to play on some of the tracks. Starr had to pick up Drake from the airport so that the pair could record with Harrison; Drake noticed the number of country albums Starr had in his vehicle. Realising Drake's deep connection to country, Starr asked him if they could collaborate on an album together. Drake told Starr his musician friends could compose more than an album's worth of material in a week, which Starr thought was "impossible". Starr was very keen and agreed. Starr promptly flew to Nashville on 22 June.

Mudcrutch (Tom Petty) - Mudcrutch (2008)

Year: April 29, 2008 (CD 2008)
Label: Reprise Records (Europe), 2-455868
Style: Southern Rock, Rock
Country: Gainesville, Florida, U.S.
Time: 56:53
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 389 Mb

Mudcrutch are best known for being the band that began Tom Petty's rise to fame.
Mudcrutch formed in Gainesville in 1970 and soon became a popular act across Florida. The band moved to Los Angeles in 1974 to attract the attention of a record company. Though they signed a contract with Shelter Records, they released only one poor-selling single before breaking up in 1975. The following year, former Mudcrutch members Petty, Mike Campbell, and Benmont Tench formed the core of a new band, the Heartbreakers.
Most of the original Mudcrutch lineup reformed in 2007 to record their first album as a group, which was followed by a tour. A second album followed in 2016. Petty's death in 2017 effectively dissolved the group again, while Leadon subsequently died in 2023.
(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudcrutch)
Mudcrutch was originally formed in 1970. The band recorded several demos and singles but never released a record. Mudcrutch was disbanded by the record company in 1975 and did not play together again until recording this album 32 years later. After the initial break-up, band members Tom Petty, Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench went on to form Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
The album entered the U.S. Billboard 200 chart at No. 8, selling about 38,000 copies in its first week.

Foghat - Last Train Home (2010)

Year: 15 June 2010 (CD 2010)
Label: Foghat Records (U.S.), FHR004
Style: Hard Rock, Blues Rock
Country: London, England
Time: 60:22
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 428 Mb

Formed in 1971 when Lonesome Dave Peverett & Roger Earl left the British blues-rock band, Savoy Brown, Foghat has earned eight Gold records, one Platinum record and one Double-Platinum record.  And they continue to release new music every few years. They have never stopped touring and recording although there have been several ups and downs and changes over the years.  They sadly lost Lonesome Dave Peverett in 2000 and Rod Price in 2005, but Roger Earl kept banging & kicking to keep Foghat's musical legacy going.
According to a recent review "The '70s called…but there is no way in hell we are giving Foghat back to them. The iconic band from the past is rocking just as hard as they did decades ago, if not more! Foghat's thunderous blend of blues, boogie and butt-kickin' rock 'n' roll are shaking walls and fans everywhere. There is so much talent in this band it is ridiculous.  Lead vocalist/lead guitarist Scott Holt played with Buddy Guy for over 10 years, and lead/slide guitarist Bryan Bassett played with Wild Cherry and Molly Hatchet."  Bass player Craig Macgregor who had been with the band since the '70s, unfortunately became ill in 2015 and was unable to play, and we sadly lost him in February of 2018.  Craig had recommended the very talented & personable Rodney O'Quinn as a 'fill-in' who came to Foghat via the Pat Travers band where he proved he knew how to lay down a solid groove. O'Quinn viewed MacGregor as a mentor and is a great permanent addition to the band.  And on drums, of course, is the man we must thank for keeping Foghat going…founding member Roger Earl, who's positive attitude and solid drumming style and pure joy of playing has been an inspiration to all."
If Foghat had only given us 'Slow Ride', the band's place in rock history would be secure.  But the band is so much more than that. As stated by Roger Earl, "we are still a 'work in progress', writing and recording and plan to be until the day we depart this earth".
**We sadly lost our brother, friend and Foghat member Craig MacGregor, who passed away on February 9th, 2018. RIP Mac. We miss you, brother.**

The music on Ruud Cooty's debut CD, Aftermath, has been described as "What Van Halen would have sounded like if they had been raised in Atlanta." A unique mixture of hard rock, guitar metal and southern blues rock with impressive and expressive vocals. Ruud Cooty (rhymes with Crude Beauty) is a group fronted by Atlanta vocal legend Stephen Fredrick. Stephen has fronted many successful bands, most recently the metal masters Firewind and Kenziner. Joining Stephen on this release is long time friend, guitarist and producer David T. Chastain. David T.'s metal twinged guitar is heavy yet blues yet flashy yet subtle. David states, "I think the guitar playing on this CD is a style that I have been looking to perfect since the day I first picked up the guitar. Just some heavy kick ass rock guitar!"

The Dreaming is the fourth studio album by English art rock singer Kate Bush, released on 13 September 1982 by EMI Records. Recorded over two years, the album was produced entirely by Bush and is often characterised as her most uncommercial and experimental release. The Dreaming peaked at No. 3 on the UK album chart and has been certified Silver by the BPI, but initially sold less than its predecessors and was met with mixed critical reception. Five singles from the album were released, including the UK No. 11 "Sat in Your Lap" and the title track.
The critical standing of the album has improved significantly in recent decades. A public poll conducted by NPR ranked The Dreaming as the 24th greatest album ever made by a female artist. Slant Magazine listed the album at No. 71 on its list of "Best Albums of the 1980s". It is also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, the Mojo "Top 50 Eccentric Albums of All Time" list and The Word magazine's "Great Underrated Albums of Our Time" list. Musicians such as Bjork and Big Boi have cited The Dreaming as one of their favourite albums.
