Recueil Des Coursvolume 159 (1978 I)

"Rough" is Tina Turner's 3rd solo studio album, released in September 1978 on the EMI label in the UK, Ariola Records in West Germany and United Artists in the United States. The album was made up of blues and disco with a rock influence. The opening track, "Fruits of the Night", was co-written by Giorgio Moroder's longtime collaborator Pete Bellotte. Turner also included a cover of Bob Seger's "Fire Down Below", which was later covered again by Bette Midler for the 1979 movie The Rose. The album also includes Turner's first cover version of Elton John's "The Bitch Is Back", which she re-recorded in 1991 for the tribute album Two Rooms: Celebrating the Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin.

"Streamline" is the 4th studio album by drummer Lenny White, released in 1978 through Elektra Records and reissued in 2002 through Wounded Bird Records. The album reached #27 on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart.

This two-fer from Australian pop/rock outfit Little River Band includes the group's 4th and 5th albums, 1978's certified Platinum "Sleeper Catcher", which featured the hits "Reminiscing" and "Lady," and 1979's "First Under The Wire", which included the international hit "Lonesome Loser."

Sweet beautiful soul from one of the all-time greats, "Let's Straighten It Out" features Gwen in a more mellow soul vein-copping a sweet bit of funky keyboard work from Latimore, whose great track she redoes as the title cut. Other cuts include "Cradle Of Love", "Your Love Is Worse Than A Cold Love", and "Early Morning Love". Even better is the great album "Melody Of Life". The album has more of a modern soul sound than her other albums for the label, thanks to some sweet mellow production work by Betty Wright. The cuts are great, with a stone-cold mellow groovin' sound that shows that Gwen was still working on her style, changing it and expanding it past the fame of her big mid-70s recordings. Titles include "All This Love I'm Givin", "I Can Only Think Of You", "I Found A Love", "The Melody Of Life", and "The Joy".
