Ex-John McLaughlin electric bass guitarist Hellborg gains considerable notoriety for his flashy style, huge sound, undeniable virtuosity, and monster chops. This recording showcases his trio on various concert dates world-wide, with electric guitarist Shawn Lane and drummer Jeff Sipe in tow. It is Lane who steals the show – his fluid, exciting, stinging lines need nothing more than a little amplification to get the point across.

This group from Germany played an innovative blend of jazz-rock in the early 1970s. Their debut album is often compared with very early Kraftwerk and Organisation, and their links with Kraftwerk go back to the late 1960s. In 1987 Waldemar Karpenkel, Dapper, and Schrumpf reformed the group with famed Swedish bassist Jonas Hellborg and keyboardist Thomas Bettermann and released the album Kollektiv Featuring Jonas Hellborg the next year.

Dutch girl Group formed around Patricia Paay. Originally formed as a gimmick for a Dutch TV-show ( with Yvonne Keeley and their mother Mrs. Paay) to perform a Andrews Sisters medley. Becoming a huge success, they replaced mother for Sylvana van Veen and became an act. After a few years the succees declined and they split up around 1987. In 2007 they tried to make a comeback with their former successingle "Stars on 45".
