The Party 1980

NOW Music is very proud to present the second of our NOW That's What I Call An Era The Albums releases. Most of the albums being highlighted produced huge hit singles that have become both synonymous with the decade and enduringly popular – but these albums are of such a high quality – forever part of the artist’s legacy - that other tracks could have equally become hits – and some have become as well-loved by fans as the singles, and have for many artists always been an established part of their live shows.

Toronto's Max Webster blended metal, prog, and rock elements into a genre-defying blend that won the group a cult following in the mid- to late '70s. Formed in 1973, the band's sound focused on the contrast between vocalist/guitarist Kim Mitchell's aggressive attack and vocalist/keyboardist Terry Watkinson's more melodic approach, with drummer Gary McCracken and bassist Mike Tilka providing a propulsive backdrop. Additional lyricist Pye Dubois was considered the band's fifth member, adding extra theatrical flourishes to Max Webster's concerts. Their self-titled 1976 debut, the following year's High Class in Borrowed Shoes, and 1978's Mutiny Up My Sleeve sold well and scored the group several hits, despite their somewhat iconoclastic sound.

После событий, происшедших в «Буме», прошло два года. Вик из угловатого подростка превратилась в хорошенькую девушку. Ей уже пятнадцать. И, как нередко случается в этом возрасте, она уверена, что жизнь уже прожита. Но вдруг — случайная встреча в поезде с голубоглазым блондином…

Two years after the first "Boum", Vic - now 15 and a half years old - has a very calm love life, actually no boyfriend at all. Her parents are happily together again, Grandma Poupette thinks about finally marring her long-term boyfriend. But then Vic meets Philippe and is overcome by his charm…

Zwei Jahre nach dem Sensationserfolg von La Boum - Die Fete stehen erneut Vic (Sophie Marceau) und ihre Clique im Mittelpunkt des Interesses. La Boum 2 - Die Fete geht weiter beginnt dort, wo der erste Teil endete.

Deux ans après La Boum, Vic, maintenant âgée de 15 ans et demi entre en classe de seconde au lycée Henri IV. Cela fait maintenant 1 an qu'elle n'est pas "sortie" avec un garçon…

Ritchie Spencer and his friends have a problem. They are the only 4 members of their fraternity, and they are all graduating. They must find a way to bring in more members before they leave, and dodge their way around the rival jock fraternity.

The 3rd Captain Sky record never manages to achieve liftoff. While previous efforts balanced the Captain's shameless P-Funk cops with some propulsive grooves and widescreen arrangements, "Concerned Party #1" simply goes through the motions, running on nothing but the vapors of a few witty puns (e.g., "Bubble Gum (I Chewz You)") and a handful of punishing bass grooves. Worse, the production breaks down under the weight of its painfully slick disco textures. A few cuts, like "Sir Jam a Lot," might get a less discerning dancefloor moving, but otherwise Concerned Party #1 falls completely flat.
