RIVER CITY PEOPLE - THIS IS THE WORLD - VINILO ORIGINAL 1991 PRIMEA EDICION EMI RIVER CITY PEOPLE - THIS IS THE WORLD - VINILO ORIGINAL 1991 PRIMEA EDICION EMI River City People fue un grupo de folk-rock de vida y éxito efímeros. Con sus dos estupendos albumes, sonaron bastante en las emisoras del Reino Unido y otros países (España, entre ellos), y llegaron a actuar en varias ciudades europeas. Pero lo que condenó a la banda de Liverpool fue, probablemente, que llegaron tarde a la fiesta. La segunda mitad de los 80 fue un momento dulce para el pop-rock inglés e irlandés, que consolidó a grupos como U2, Simple Minds, Dire Straits o Simply Red. Pero los RCP se subieron al carro en 1989, cuando el movimiento languidecía, y a pocos meses de la explosión, al otro lado del Atlántico, del fenómeno grunge. La banda aguantó como pudo el desinterés por el folk-rock, y aunque llegó a lanzar en 1991 un segundo gran LP, acabó deshaciéndose pocos meses después. El primer disco es una maravilla y este   THIS IS THE WORLD esta muy bien. Tracklist: 01. River City People - Standing In The Need Of Love [3:30] 02. River City People - Special Way [3:14] 03. River City People - Act Like A Child [3:46] 04. River City People - Hurt You [3:57] 05. River City People - Driver [3:24] 06. River City People - Move A Mountain [4:41] 07. River City People - Mile High Cafe [4:31] 08. River City People - True Stories From The Revolution [3:42] 09. River City People - The Sea [3:40] 10. River City People - High Tide [3:28] 11. River City People - This Is The World [4:57] River City People were a folk rock quartet formed in Liverpool, England in 1986, by vocalist Siobhan Maher, guitarist Tim Speed, his drummer brother Paul Speed, and bassist Dave Snell. Siobhan, Tim and Dave had both been with Liverpool Band "Peep Show" until summer 1987 - at one point both bands co-existed. The group appeared on Channel 4's The Chart Show and soon afterward signed with EMI, releasing their debut single "(What's Wrong With) Dreaming?" in mid 1989. Their album Say Something Good followed a few months later, recorded in Los Angeles and produced by legendary producer Don Gehman. In the summer of 1990, the band scored their biggest hit with a cover of The Mamas & the Papas' "California Dreamin'". This was a double A-side with "Carry the Blame". " This is the World " followed in late 1991, but the group disbanded shortly after. Maher then teamed with ex-Bangle Debbi Peterson in the duo Kindred Spirit, releasing a self-titled 1995 album on Capitol Records. She released a solo album in 2002 called Immigrant Flower.

HEAVEN 17: SUNSET NOW [ESP 1984] EP 12' HEAVEN 17: SUNSET NOW [ESP 1984] EP 12' Heaven 17   "Sunset Now"  EP 12" (Virgin)  1984  made in Spain cat. num.   F-601510 #synth pop   A1 Sunset Now (Extended Version) 5:21 A2 Flame Down 3:14 B1 Counterforce 3:02 B2 Sunset Now (Album Version) 3:40 B3 Counterforce II   It all came together for  Heaven 17  on this release, and as a result it is by far their strongest, most brilliant ep. Combining their various influences (including R&B, pop, dance, electronica),  Heaven 17  fused these styles together to made an almost perfect sound. A strong melody, stunning vocals from  Glenn Gregory, and tight production equal a fascinating glimpse into the human struggle. Adding a number of session players, including a guitarist,  Heaven 17  was able to expand and build on their solid sound.  Gregory  is also allowed to branch out on this album and write more personal and political statements that were not clearly heard on their first two albums. Fans will not be disappointed, and in fact, this could be the album to win new fans over. "Sunset Now," and "Flamedown," are just a few of the reasons for this ep greatness.

Records) ran a USA & Canada only mail-order promotion on a number of the inner sleeves of their mainstream artist's releases. This was to promote a wide range of less popular artists on compilation albums known as the 'Loss Leader' PRO series, sold at a significantly reduced mail-order price. This Frank Zappa-oriented release is part of the series, although this particular compilation is also geared to promoting both the artists 'signed' to Zappa and the two labels, Straight and Bizarre Records, which Zappa co-founded with Herb Cohen. These two labels were manufactured and distributed by Reprise Records. This Frank Zappa-oriented 'Zapped' release is the 6th issue in the series, a compilation geared to promoting both the artists 'signed' to Zappa and the two labels, Straight and Bizarre Records, which Zappa co-founded with Herb Cohen. (These two labels were manufactured and distributed for Reprise Records by Warner Bros. Records from mid 1969 [Previously 7Arts]). The black & white cover of this PRO 368 release has a portrait of Zappa and the title is "Zapped" without an accent over the 'e' (as on a subsequent/similar PRO 368 release with a 'collage' cover & Reprise label). This vinyl's label is pale blue with a dark blue 'Bizarre' text. Issues did occasionally appear later in retail outlets, particularly in Australia.

Fue una derivación del New Wave al New Romantic. La música es más accesible pero sin perder fuerza ni originalidad. " Promised You A Miracle " is a 1982 song by Simple Minds and was released as the first single from their fifth studio album New Gold Dream (81–82–83–84). It is most notable for being the band's first successful chart hit in the UK, reaching #13 in the UK Singles Chart and charting for 11 weeks.[Their previous nine UK singles yielded no Top 40 hits in that country. It was the only song on the album that included Kenny Hyslop as the studio session drummer. Mike Ogletree and Mel Gaynor contributed for the other eight tracks. The song triggered a prolonged period of commercial success for the band, during which they yielded 21 original UK hit singles in a row, up to and including 1998's "Glitterball" from the album Neapolis. It also enabled them to make their debut on the British music television show Top of the Pops. A live version from the album Live in the City of Light was released in 1987.

FISCHER Z - GOING RED FOR A SALAD (THE UA YEARS) VINILO ORIGINAL PRIMERA EDICION EMI ENGLAND 1990 FISCHER Z - GOING RED FOR A SALAD (THE UA YEARS) VINILO ORIGINAL PRIMERA EDICION EMI ENGLAND 1990 En una época en la que muchas bandas resultaban inclasificables, Fischer Z destaca por su particular estilo a medio camino entre el Punk, el Reggae y la New Wave. En Inglaterra se les comparó rápidamente con Talking Heads, pero fue en Alemania y Austria donde este grupo causó furor más que en su tierra natal. Hablar de Fischer Z es hablar, en cierto modo, de su líder y fundador John Watts, un músico intelectual y enigmático que supo combinar melodías pegadizas con letras de marcado carácter psicológico, social y político. El grupo lo forma en 1976 junto a su compañero de estudios Steve Skolnik. Completarían la banda el bajista David Graham y el batería Steve Liddle. Era una época en la que el punk arrasaba con todo en Inglaterra y sin embargo Fischer Z ofrecían algo más. Primero porque John Watts era un tipo muy culto y muy preocupado por los problemas sociales del momento. El estilo de Fischer Z fue rápidamente comparado como decíamos  con Talking Heads o The Police. En 1979 lanzaron su primer disco “Word Salad”, que incluía temas como el que acabamos de oír, y lograron una actuación en directo para el mítico programa musical británico “Top of the Pops”. Esta actuación resulta un desastre y perjudica a las ventas del disco. En 1980 llegará “ So Long ”, probablemente su canción más conocida gracias a la cual todavía conservan cierta fama. A mediados de ese mismo año Skolnik, el teclista, abandona el grupo y éste queda reducido a un trío en el Watts plasta definitivamente todas sus obsesiones. Aquí llegaría su disco más destacado “Red Skies Over Paradise”, un trabajo cuya inspiración reside en la guerra fría y la amenaza nuclear. Otro tema impresionante de este gran disco es “ Berlin ”. Llegados a 1990, su antigua compañía de discos la EMI Electrola Records lanza al mercado un disco recopilatorio bajo el titulo de Going red for a salad (The UA years). Este disco recopilatorio venia a recoger los mayores éxitos de la banda a lo largo de su paso por esta compañía de discos, destacando los mejores temas también de los primeros álbumes de John Watts. Dos años mas tarde de nuevo se vuelve a editar un nuevo disco de la banda bajo el titulo de Destination paradise. Con este trabajo la formación se consolido como una de las mejores de la época, ya que las temáticas de las letras hablaban de lo cotidiano, desde la guerra del golfo hasta canciones de amor en clave de humor. Tras este disco comienzan una nueva y extensa gira mundial, con la única intención de captar nuevo fans. Como mejores temas de estos discos vamos a destacar en primer lugar un tema antiguo llamado Wax dolls, y después los temas nuevos del otro disco titulados Destination paradise, y Will you be there?.   Pistas: 1 – So Long  5:01  2 – Acrobats  2:42  3 – The Worker  3:35  4 – Wax Dolls  2:46  5 – Remember Russia  3:38  6 – Going Deaf For A Living  3:32  7 – Room Service  3:44  8 – Pretty Paracetamol  3:59   9 – Marliese  3:52  10 – You'll Never Find Brian Here  2:10  11 – Berlin  4:34  12 – Battalions Of Strangers  5:06  13 – Bathroom Scenario  3:50  14 – Wristcutters Lullaby  2:49  15 – Crazy Girl  4:27  16 – Limbo  2:15 Fischer-Z were a British rock band formed in 1976 by John Watts and Steve Skolnik at Brunel University. The original line-up consisted of Watts (vocals, guitar), Skolnik (keyboards), David Graham (bass) and Steve Liddle (drums). The band's name is pronounced "fɪʃə zɛd" (fisher zed), a pun on "fish's head" with the "h" dropped, as is usual in many British regional accents. The pun also relies on leaving the "r" unpronounced as in common British non-rhotic accents. Fischer-Z's first hit was "The Worker" from the album Word Salad which firmly established Watts' ability to convey worldly political issues in narrative songs against a background of quirky pop and reggae-influenced music. In an interview in Record Mirror in 1981, Watts put this down to the remix of the song from the album version, which put the emphasis on the keyboards rather than his guitar. Skolnik departed after their second album Going Deaf for a Living, leaving Watts to take over keyboards. Watts' lyrics draw heavily on his experiences of studying clinical psychology and as a mental health care worker. Several songs on their third album Red Skies Over Paradise in 1981, such as "Berlin" and "Red Skies Over Paradise" were about the Cold War and the song "Cruise Missiles" was about the nuclear arms race and the mutual threat of the superpowers with nuclear war. Fischer-Z were more popular in mainland Europe than their native UK, especially in Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Portugal (two top 10 hits and a No. 3 album). Fischer-Z were also successful in Australia, where they achieved two Top 20 hits with "So Long" from the album Going Deaf for a Living and "The Perfect Day" from Reveal.[2] After the album Red Skies over Paradise Watts dissolved the band in mid-1981, deciding his art could not evolve within a band context.

BURT BACHARACH: BSO LOST HORIZON [UK 1973] LP/FOL BURT BACHARACH: BSO LOST HORIZON [UK 1973] LP/FOL Burt Bacharach   "BSO Lost Horizon"  LP (Bell - Columbia)  1973  made in UK cat. num.  SYBEL 8000 #soundtrack  #easy listening   Introduction 0:30 Lost Horizon 1:58 Share The Joy 2:42 The World Is A Circle 3:25 Living Together, Growing Together 3:21 I Might Frighten Her Away 2:38 The Things I Will Not Miss 3:13 If I Could Go Back 4:07 Where Knowledge Ends (Faith Begins) 3:43 Question Me An Answer 5:27 I Come To You 1:29 Reflections 1:50   When the motion picture musical Lost Horizon was unleashed upon the world in 1973, the reviews were unbelievably harsh and much of the criticism was aimed at composer  Burt Bacharach  and lyricist  Hal David. However, even though many of the songs on this soundtrack are not as memorable as their more popular collaborations, this album is not that bad. In fact, many of the songs are quite catchy, including "The World Is a Circle" and "Reflections." Some of the vocals are sung by the actors, including  Sally Kellerman  and the late  Bobby Van.  Burt Bacharach  has a certain knack for production of not-so-great singers (himself included) and, fortunately, it shows here with the actors. Other actors had their singing parts dubbed by more seasoned vocalists.  Shawn Phillips  is the singer on the title track.

CANNONBALL ADDERLEY: CANNONBALL AND EIGHT GIANTS [ESP 1974] LPx2 CANNONBALL ADDERLEY: CANNONBALL AND EIGHT GIANTS [ESP 1974] LPx2 Cannonball Adderley   "Cannonball And Eight Giants"  LPx2 (Milestone)   1974  made in Spain cat. num.  MM.40-068/69 S #jazz previously released as "Portait Of Cannonball" and "Things Are Getting Better" on Riverside label. A Little Taste 4:34 Straight Life 5:30 Minority (Take 2) 7:24 Minority (Take 3) 7:05 Nardis 5:30 Blue Funk 5:30 People Will Say We're In Love 9:38 Blues Oriental 4:55 A Few Previously Unissued Words From Cannonball And Then... 0:47 Things Are Getting Better 7:09 Serves Me Right 4:44 Groovin' High 5:17 The Sidewalks Of New York 6:56 Sounds For Sid 6:24 Just One Of Those Things 6:44   "Portait Of Cannonball"   This fine Riverside debut by  Adderley  was cut just a few months after the alto saxophonist had contributed to  Miles Davis ' stellar  Milestones  release. Joining  Adderley  for the six tracks here are fellow  Davis  alumni  Philly Joe Jones  on drums and  Bill Evans  on piano. These three are augmented by the wonderful and often-underrated  Blue Mitchell  on trumpet and the equally illustrious  Sam Jones  on bass. Everyone is in top form on a varied set that takes in two  Adderley  originals (the fine ballad "Straight Life" and "A Little Taste"), a classic  Gigi Gryce  number ("Minority"), and  Miles ' oft-covered "Nardis." Filling out the program, we have a rare  Sam Jones -penned cut, "Blue Funk," and a lone standard in the  Rogers & Hammerstein  chestnut from Oklahoma, "People Will Say We're in Love." One of the highlights from  Adderley 's hard bop prime. "Things Are Getting Better" This title provides ample evidence why alto  Cannonball Adderley  is considered one of the masters of his craft. Here he joins forces with  Modern Jazz Quartet  co-founder  Milt Jackson  on vibes to create a variety of sonic atmospheres. They are backed by the all-star ensemble of  Wynton Kelly  on piano,  Percy Heath  on bass, and the one and only  Art Blakey  on drums. The moody "Blues Oriental" opens the set with  Jackson  immediately diving in with his trademark fluid runs and shimmering intonation.  Adderley  counters with a light and lively line that weaves between the rhythm section. The optimistic "Things Are Getting Better" is a good-natured romp as the co-leads trade and cajole each other into some downright rollicking exchanges. This directly contrasts with the sultry "Serves Me Right," which allows the combo members to demonstrate their collective musical malleability. The interaction between  Adderley  and  Jackson  sparkles as they entwine their respective playing with an uncanny singularity of spirit. The cover of  Dizzy Gillespie 's "Groovin' High" contains another spirited performance with some thoroughly engaging improvisation, especially during  Adderley 's voracious solos. "Sidewalks of New York" bops freely as  Jackson  unleashes some sublime licks against a hearty and equally boisterous sax.  Adderley 's "Sounds for Sid" demonstrates his uncanny ability to swing with a strong R&B vibe. With drop-dead timing and profound instrumental chops, this cut is undoubtedly one of the best from  Adderley 's earliest canon. The album concludes with a jumping reading of  Cole Porter 's "Just One of Those Things." While  Wynton Kelly  has been uniformly solid, his interjections stand out here as he bridges and undergirds the two as they banter with flair and aplomb. This set can be recommended without hesitation to all manner of jazz enthusiast, as it quite literally offers something for every taste. [Some reissues include two bonus tracks supplementing the original seven-song running order, alternate takes of "Serves Me Right" and "Sidewalks of New York."]

COLOURBOX: THE OFFICIAL COLOURBOX WORLD CUP THEME [UK 1986] 7' COLOURBOX: THE OFFICIAL COLOURBOX WORLD CUP THEME [UK 1986] 7' Colourbox   "The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme"  single 7" (4AD)  1986  made in UK cat. num.  AD 605 #synth pop   A The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme 3:06 B Philip Glass 3:29   One of the legendary 4AD label's earliest and most under-recognized acts,  Colourbox  were among the first artists outside of the realm of hip-hop to rely heavily on sampling techniques; ultimately, their arty blue-eyed soul -- a fusion of far-ranging influences spanning from classic R&B to dub to industrial -- reached its commercial and creative apotheosis through their work on  M/A/R/R/S ' seminal "Pump Up the Volume" project, a reflection of the group's longstanding interest in the burgeoning underground dance music scene of the 1980s.  Colourbox  were primarily the work of London-based brothers Martyn and  Steven Young, who recruited vocalist  Debbion Currie  to sing on their 1982 4AD debut, "Breakdown."  Curry  was replaced by  Lorita Grahame  in time for the trio's 1983 re-recording of the same track, this time produced by  Mick Glossop.  Colourbox 's self-titled debut EP -- a collection of dub and scratching experiments heralding their first plunge into sampling technology, edited down from three hours of studio sessions -- appeared later that same year, with the single "Say You" following in 1984. After another 12", "Punch," the group issued 1985's "The Moon Is Blue," a teaser for its upcoming full-length LP, also a self-titled affair; "Baby I Love You So" and "The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme" both appeared the following year.  In 1987, at the behest of 4AD chief  Ivo Watts-Russell, the Young brothers teamed with labelmates  A.R. Kane  as  M/A/R/R/S  to record a single fusing the rhythms and beats from classic soul recordings with state of the art electronics and production. Complete with scratches by champion mixer  Chris "C.J." Mackintosh  and London  DJ Dave Dorrell, "Pump Up the Volume" -- a breakthrough effort heralding sampling's gradual absorption from hip-hop into dance music and ultimately the pop mainstream -- soon topped the British charts, the first 4AD release to accomplish that feat. Plans for a follow-up never materialized, however; stranger still, despite  M/A/R/R/S ' success, both the Youngs and  Colourbox seemed to vanish, with no future recordings forthcoming.
