Fading Yellow 18

This is CD premiere of one of the best and also the most underrated, soft-progressive rock albums ever recorded in UK! The sole, eponymous LP of this British band was released in 1973 by EMI Columbia label, unfortunately in France only! There's no infomtation available about the band (even their first names) except the fact they came from Telford area in Shropshire and were previously known as Fluff. The music itself is best described as very melodic, early Badfinger (well done vocal harmonies, catchy melodies) combined with George Harrison (beautiful electric / acoustic guitars sound), some hard rock (on few tracks) and progressive rock influences (occasional mellotron passages, changing moods). It's an album which can't be missed!

Sandra Ann Lauer, commonly known under her stage name Sandra, is a German pop singer who enjoyed a mainstream popularity in the 1980s and early 1990s with a string of European hit singles, produced by her then-husband and musical partner, Michael Cretu, most notably "(I'll Never Be) Maria Magdalena" (1985), "In the Heat of the Night" (1985), "Everlasting Love" (1987), "Secret Land" (1988), "Hiroshima" (1990) and "Don't Be Aggressive" (1992). Her albums Into a Secret Land (1988) and Close to Seven (1992) have won Sandra high critical acclaim…

First ever complete career retrospective from this highly influential band collects together material from a 35 year career. Compiled and designed in collaboration with the band, this set features singles, b-sides and key album tracks including work recorded for Cherry Red Records and the band's own Ambivalent Scale label. Includes the previously unreleased track 'Tamarisk'. Package includes insightful interview with singer Martyn Bates, lyrics and recording details. Eyeless in Gaza formed a key part of the early Cherry Red Records roster, and continue to find new fans today. Their work - an intriguing mixture of sound art and poetry - sits outside of the world most other artists inhabit, and exists in a timeless place entirely of the band's own design.

The loss of a key member is always traumatic for a band, no matter how amicable, and so it was with the departure of Mostly Autumn keyboard player Iain Jennings at the beginning of 2006. Indeed, early live shows after his exit were tentative at best, with Chris Johnson coming in to supply back up keys while Angela Gordon gamely added more keyboards to her excellent flute work. At the time, Johnson looked like a temporary member, there to fill a gap at a time of need. However, bandleader Bryan Josh clearly had a master plan, and the group's excellent new album Heart Full of Sky (Mostly Autumn Records (UK) AUT0933, 2006), and the first on their all-new label, introduces Johnson as a new creative force in the invention of Mostly Autumn music. Not as a keyboard player, but as a writer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. In doing so Josh and Johnson appear to have invigorated the band.

Sir Richard Starkey, better known by his stage name Ringo Starr, is an English musician, singer, songwriter and actor who achieved international fame as the drummer for the Beatles. He occasionally sang lead vocals with the group, usually for one song on each album, including "Yellow Submarine", "With a Little Help from My Friends" and their cover of "Act Naturally". He also wrote and sang the Beatles' songs "Don't Pass Me By" and "Octopus's Garden", and is credited as a co-writer of others. After the band's break-up in 1970, he released several successful singles including the US top-ten hit "It Don't Come Easy", and number ones "Photograph" and "You're Sixteen".

Official Release #102. Directed, Written, Music Composed & Performed by FRANK ZAPPA. Frank Zappa s concerts at the Roxy Theatre in Holywood in December 1973 are legendary. Frank and the Mothers played three nights on December 8th, 9th & 10th and these shows formed the basis of the Roxy & Elsewhere album that was released in 1974. However the performances were also filmed in 16mm and this footage has been sitting in the Zappa vault ever since. Now fully restored by the Zappa Family Trust this live concert film is being made available for the first time. It captures Frank and the Mothers at the height of their powers and includes material that is unique to these performances. This is a highly anticipated release for Zappa fans who have waited many years for the concert footage to finally be released.
