30th Anniversary 2CD Deluxe Edition. 1st CD with the original 11 tracks + 2nd CD featuring 6 unreleased bonus tracks. Bonus tracks feature appearances from Mick Taylor, Chuck Leavell, Bootsy Collins, Johnnie Johnson, Joey Spampinato & Bernie Worrell. Remastered by original producer Steve Jordan. Can’t believe it- this is much more than the usual remastering. It is like I hear this album for the first time - so many details I never noticed before… (when this was first released I found it a bit monotonous, to say the least, and now I hear all that music). So very happy. Thank you for being such a great medium of the Divine, Mr Richards.

Originally released in 1983, the debut album from Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, otherwise known as Tears For Fears, instantly blasted off one of the most stellar careers of the 1980s. Immaculately produced, stunningly sequenced and comprised of a sequence of timeless electronic pop classics, ‘The Hurting’ sympathetically explored themes of childhood angst, adolescent heartache and the struggles of the transition from boy to man. It also gave birth to four of the era’s essential singles – ‘Suffer The Children’, ‘Pale Shelter’, ‘Change’ and the landmark megahit ‘Mad World’. Compiled with the full involvement of Roland and Curt, ‘The Hurting – 30th Anniversary Edition’ brings together the original album remastered at Abbey Road studios, plus all of the relevant B-sides, edits and remixes from the period, many of them available for the first time.

Limited three CD set containing original album plus bonus non-album tracks, demos, and more. This year marks 30 years since Roxette released her third album Joyride, which followed up the band's record global breakthrough with the album Look Sharp! In 1989. Roxette had in record time turned into a global hit phenomenon thanks to the three US hits The Look, Listen To Your Heart, It Must Have Been Love and other big hits such as Dressed For Success and Dangerous. Joyride was the album that was supposed to cement the unlikely successes of Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle. Which indeed it did. The album not only became Roxette's bestseller, the title track zoomed all the way up to the top of the US charts on 1st May 1991 - giving Roxette their fourth US No.1. Thus, the group set a record that no Scandinavian group or artist has managed to surpass.

Released in December 1970, King Crimson's third studio album, Lizard, is often viewed as an outlier in the pioneering British prog outfit's nearly half-century discography. It's not easily grouped with 1969's stunning In the Court of the Crimson King debut and 1970 follow-up In the Wake of Poseidon, and along with 1971's Islands it's considered a transitional release on the band's path toward the relative stability of the Larks' Tongues in Aspic (1973), Starless and Bible Black (1974), and Red (1974) trilogy. Plus, the Lizard sessions were difficult and the core group lineup acrimoniously collapsed immediately afterward, as bandleader/guitarist Robert Fripp, with lyricist Peter Sinfield, continued brave efforts to save King Crimson from disintegrating as the group's lengthy history was just getting underway.

After playing a major role in five positively classic heavy metal albums of the late '70s and early '80s (three with Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow and two with Black Sabbath), it seemed that singer Ronnie James Dio could truly do no wrong. So it wasn't all that surprising – impressive, but not surprising – when he struck gold yet again when launching his solo vehicle, Dio, via 1983's terrific Holy Diver album. Much like those two, hallowed Sabbath LPs, Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules, Holy Diver opened at full metallic throttle with the frenetic "Stand Up and Shout," before settling into a dark, deliberate, and hypnotic groove for the timelessly epic title track – a worthy successor to glorious triumphs past like Rainbow's "Stargazer" and the Sabs' "Sign of the Southern Cross."

Limited edition 6CD Box Set featuring six live performances from 1972, 1974, 1989 and 1995. Consummate playing, from the master, throughout these great sounding recordings. Mastered from the original FM broadcasts. Also includes a cd of influences and original versions. I have been a fan of Mr. Cooder since the 70s, he has such a defined sound on the string instruments he plays - various acoustic and electric guitars and mandolins, and musically I can (almost) travel the world with him, Regardless of who he is accompanying, there is always something coherent that inspires me.
