The Headless Children is the fourth studio album by heavy metal band W.A.S.P., released in April 1989 through Capitol Records. The album reached No. 48 on the U.S. Billboard 200, the band's highest chart position, and remained on that chart for thirteen weeks; it also reached the top 30 in four other countries. With 'The Headless Children', W.A.S.P. moved away from the over-the-top antics that had made their name to create their most mature album to date and one which is regarded by many fans and critics as the band's finest record.

Philly soul artist/producer Bunny Sigler's third album for Gamble & Huff's Philadelphia International Records label, My Music marked the first time he used his protégé band Instant Funk on an entire album. Sigler seems better for it since he lets his creativity fill the album with engaging surprises. The opener, "I'm the Bunny From the Other Side of the Ocean," is filled with humor, jokey asides, and a tight horn section. The thumpin' percolating title track, co-written by Sigler, Leon Huff, and McFadden & Whitehead ("Aint No Stoppin' Us Now"), slowly builds instrument by instrument as Sigler directs each band member to come in, then the whole funk lesson becomes peppered with James Brown-ish horn riffs.

Dexter Wansel's first two albums as a leader (recorded for Gamble & Huff's Philadelphi International label in the mid-'70s) Life on Mars and What the World Is Coming To were collected on this single CD in the '00s.
