Nicholas Hytner's critically acclaimed immersive production of Guys & Dolls – a musical fable of Broadway, based on the story and characters of Damon Runyon. One of the greatest musicals of all time, with more hit songs, more laughs and more romance than any show ever written, Guys & Dolls has music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows. The celebrated production features choreography by Arlene Phillips with James Cousins, musical supervision and arrangements by Tom Brady, set by Bunny Christie, costumes by Bunny Christie and Deborah Andrews, lighting by Paule Constable, sound by Paul Arditti, orchestrations by Charlie Rosen, associate direction by James Cousins, and casting by Charlotte Sutton.

Following a greatest hits compilation in the late 90s the Human League signed to the Papillon label. The line-up of Philip Oakey, Susan Sulley and Joanne Catherall recorded the “Secrets” album, with keyboard player Neil Sutton, who co-wrote most of the songs with Oakey, and programmer David Beevers providing the trademark Human League sound.

Although "Reunion" was a chart topper, the group's 1983 "Surface Thrills" barely made a dent. Changes were in order. "Back to Basics" marks the Temptations reuniting with producer Norman Whitfield for the first time since 1973. At his best, Whitfield could draw hard-edged and earthy performances from the Temptations, especially lead singer Dennis Edwards. That's certainly true of the first track. The underrated "Miss Busy Body" finds Whitfield's production style suitably updated and has Dennis Edwards in great voice, shouting the immortal line, "Girl button up that lip/And get on up and shake them hips." The aerial ballad "Sail Away" features a vocal from new falsetto lead Ron Tyson.

"You Name It" is the 3rd album by The Dynamic Superiors released on Motown Records in 1976. The album was arranged by Arthur G. Wright, Gene Page, Dale Warren and Mel Bolton. The cover photography was by Anthony Loew. In 2012, this album was released on CD for the first time, not by Motown, by Universal Records' Soulmusic.com imprint.
