"Whispering Jack" is the 12th studio album by Australian adult contemporary pop singer John Farnham. It was produced by Ross Fraser, and released on 20 October 1986, peaking at #1 on the Australian Kent Music Report Album Charts. "Whispering Jack" has become the second best-selling-album in Australia, behind Meatloaf's album "Bat Out of Hell", and the highest selling album in Australia by an Australian artist - 24x Platinum indicating sales of over 1.68 million copies sold. It spent 25 weeks at the #1 spot on the Album Charts during 1986–1987, it was awarded the 1987 ARIA Award for "Album of the Year", and was the best charting album for the decade of the 1980s in Australia. It was the first Australian-made album to be released on Compact Disc within Australia. One of Farnham's biggest hits, "You're the Voice" was issued as the lead single from this album and peaked at #1 on the Kent Music Report Singles Charts.

In November 1984, Bill Wyman got together a group of well-known musicians to record an album (CD 1 of this package) of rock'n'roll numbers to help the Ronnie Lane Appeal for ARMS. The band was called Willie And The Poor Boys and the fantastic line-up included Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, Geraint Watkins, Mickey Gee and Andy Fairweather Low, plus Jimmy Page, Chris Rea, Paul Rodgers, Kenney Jones, and Terry Williams. CD 2 is a Willie And The Poor Boys live album, recorded in Sweden in 1992.

The Eurythmics legendary second album "Sweet Dreams" for the first time on HighResAudio! 1983's "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" is actually Eurythmics' second album, but 1981's Krautrock-influenced "In the Garden" was never released in the US and made minimal waves in the rest of the world. Thanks to two striking videos and some canny self-promotion on the part of androgynous singer Annie Lennox, this was certainly not the case with this much-improved follow-up.
