Time Life was founded in 1961 as the book division of Time Inc.. It took its name from Time Inc.'s cornerstone magazines, Time and Life, but remained independent of both. During 1966, Time Life combined its book offerings with music collections (two to five records) and packaged them as a sturdy box set. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the selection of books, music and videos grew and was diversified into more genres. When record labels stopped producing vinyl albums in 1990, Time Life switched to CD only.

Alfonso XII is a group from France which was founded in 1988 by four friends. Through the years they released several albums. Most of them had a theme about a historical person. People like Marco Polo, Charles Darwin, or Claude Monet were the subject of their concept albums. Some people wrote they were inspired by Mike Oldfield. Other times when you hear the music on their albums other names pop up such as The Alan Parsons Project or even Pink Floyd. For some reviewers the music they released on their albums wasn't always easy to digest. The main reason for this is because they don't stick to one musical genre…
10cc has been subjected to countless compilations over the years – the hits get recycled regularly and the early stuff for Jonathan King's U.K. Records gets shuffled around – but they've never had a testament to their weird work until the 2012 box set Tenology. Running four CDs and one DVD, Tenology is certainly generous, but a case could be made that it could have been even longer, encompassing a disc of their early work making bubblegum for Strawberry Studios (in lieu of that, the 2003 Castle compilation, Strawberry Bubblegum serves as an excellent supplement to this), but what is here shows that 10cc was far stranger, savvier, funnier, and wilder than "I'm Not in Love" and "The Things We Do for Love" might suggest…
