Lost somewhat in the bounty of previously unreleased material distributed across the deluxe editions of Marvin Gaye's 1971-1981 studio albums, this performance appeared in totality on the second disc for What's Going On. Eighteen years later, newly mixed by John Morales, it gets an appropriate separate release with in-depth contextualization from Gaye biographer David Ritz. Context here is crucial, and there is a lot of it. For starters, the occasion was Washington, D.C.'s Marvin Gaye Day, the events of which culminated in the reluctantly present singer's first concert in four years.

The celebrations of the 40th anniversary of "Sotto il segno dei pesci", among the album-symbol of the discography of Antonello Venditti, seem to never end. Started in September last year with the release of the unpublished "Sfiga" and the box set "Sotto il segno dei pesci - 40° anniversario", the celebrations went on with the concert-event at the Arena di Verona (which among the other things saw the Roman singer-songwriter find his friend Francesco De Gregori on stage - they debuted together, in 1972, with the album "Theorius Campus", then over the years removals, digs and rapprochements), with the appearance in Sanremo as guest and with a tour in the sports halls. Now comes "Sotto il segno dei pesci - The anniversary tour (Live)" - the live record of the forty-year album - forgive the pun.

Compiled by Frank Zappa for broadcast on WLIR-FM in Garden City, New York on New Year's Eve 1973, this remarkable set offers a cross-section of his recent live performances with the Mothers Of Invention, and finds him at his wittiest and most inventive. A treat for serious fans, the entire WLIR-FM set is presented here, digitally remastered.

Take That are one of the most successful live bands of all time. They are renowned for their spectacular shows and for some of the most innovative stage production in the world.

Having created some of the most unforgettable performances in British music history this show takes fans through Take That’s re-imagined Greatest Hits in all their live glory.

In 2018, British pop icon Kim Wilde returned to the limelight with her acclaimed studio album "Here Come The Aliens" and her tour of the same name. What a year! Kim Wilde rocked with an impressive show full of passion and energy. The "pop princess" left her audience in a nostalgic ecstasy, while remaining modern and contemporary at the same time, leaving her fans with the question why she had never released a live album before. The wait is finally over: after the release of more than a dozen studio albums, after almost 40 years on stage, »Aliens Live« is their very first live album!

Joe Williams was the last great big-band singer, a smooth baritone who graced the rejuvenated Count Basie Orchestra during the 1950s and captivated audiences well into the '90s. Born in Georgia, he moved to Chicago with his grandmother at the age of three. Reunited with his mother, she taught him to play the piano and took him to the symphony. Though tuberculosis slowed him down as a teenager, Williams began performing at social events and formed his own gospel vocal quartet, the Jubilee Boys.
