Big 1986

Slade are an English rock band from Wolverhampton. They rose to prominence during the glam rock era in the early 1970s, achieving 17 consecutive top 20 hits and six number ones on the UK Singles Chart. The British Hit Singles & Albums names them as the most successful British group of the 1970s based on sales of singles. They were the first act to have three singles enter the charts at number one; all six of the band's chart-toppers were penned by Noddy Holder and Jim Lea…

German 80's rock band Ferryboat Bill is named after an early Lou Reed/Velvet Underground Song. This album sounds to me a bit like Steve Wynn / Dream Syndicate.

Big Fun in the Big Town is is a superb filmed hip-hop documentary produced in 1986 for Dutch TV and shot entirely in New York City. It's the first time the film has been commercially available in 25 years – thanks to Five Day Weekend for coming out with this DVD.

The first of a wonderful series of recordings that he made with The Dream Band in the late 50s and early 60s which still sound fresh today. The band contained 'anyone who was anyone' playing in the West Coast at that time. The music on this CD, not released for the first time until 1986, features the formerly little-known Terry Gibbs Big Band, an orchestra that worked fairly regularly in Los Angeles from 1959-1962. The repertoire is primarily swing-era standards, but the arrangements (by Bill Holman, Bob Brookmeyer, Al Cohn, Marty Paich, and Manny Albam) are fairly modern for the time; the all-star group's ensembles are tight and such colorful soloists as vibraphonist Gibbs, valve trombonist Bob Enevoldsen, trumpeters Stu Williamson and Conte Candoli, tenorman Bill Holman, pianist Pete Jolly, and altoist Joe Maini are heard from.

Slade may have never truly caught on with American audiences (often narrow-mindedly deemed "too British-sounding"), but the group became a sensation in their homeland with their anthemic brand of glam rock in the early '70s, as they scored a staggering 11 Top Five hits in a four-year span from 1971 to 1974 (five of which topped the charts)…
