Light Express From September October 2016

This 2012 slipcase box set rounds up five of Madonna's biggest albums - True Blue, Like a Prayer, Ray of Light, Music, Confessions on a Dancefloor presenting them as mini-LPs housed in cardboard sleeves. As this samples from the '80s, '90s, and 2000s instead of focusing on one period of Madonna's career, there are some big albums missing - no Madonna, Like a Virgin, or Bedtime Stories but all five of these are among her better albums and this is a quick, affordable way to get them all.

4 CD Set, 32 tracks, 36-page booklet. Documentation in German, English, French, Spanish and Italian. Ice and fire they were: a two-horned paradox. Offstage, one was quiet, pensive, self-critical to a fault, practising obsessively. The other was cocksure, demanding; running with friends rather than running scales. But on the bandstand and on record, they reversed roles. John Coltrane, with saxophone in hand, became the unbridled one: long-winded, garrulous. When Miles Davis raised his trumpet, he played the sensitive introvert, blowing brief, hushed tones, exuding vulnerability. Their names now command reverence, and rarely induce less than eulogy. The music they created together during an almost five-year union still resonates, entrances, influences and sells, sells, sells.

In May 2006 Lawton joined forces with Dutch guitarist Jan Dumée (ex-Focus) to form the On The Rocks project. On The Rocks - "OTR" feature Brazilian musicians Ney Conceição on bass, Xande Figueiredo on drums and Marvio Ciribelli on keyboards. Lawton and Dumée wrote and recorded the tracks for the debut album "Mamonama", released in October 2008. OTR's debut album is home to ten tracks of classic rock coupled with some jazz influences that encapsulates various moods and expressions in an accessible package for all fans of melodic and classic rock.

"Intuition" is the 8th album by Angela Bofill, and was her first and only release on Capitol Records in 1988. It is produced by Norman Connors. The album peaked at position #38 of the Billboard 200 chart on January 6, 1989, and stayed on the chart for 20 weeks. The album also reached position #50 on the Billboard Top Black Albums chart. Bofill recorded "For You And I", a song she performed live at Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center in 1980 as a duet with Peabo Bryson.
