Tracking the 30-year career of The Partridge Family's greatest star, Then and Now is a comprehensive compendium of the tunes which set the world alight from the early 1970s onwards. Ranging from the three-minute Partridge pop nuggets of "I Think I Love You" and "I Woke Up In Love This Morning" to solo hits such as "Cherish" and "Rock Me Baby", it's easy to hear why Cassidy's sold over 25 million albums worldwide. Surprisingly there are some notable exclusions on Then and Now such as "Doesn't Somebody Want To Be Wanted," and "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do". Thankfully the pulsating 1985 comeback song "The Last Kiss" is included. The later part of the collection includes more recent material such as "Sheltered In My Arms" where Dave drops his usual Cliff Richard style vocals in favour of those resembling Rick Astley, and "Ricky's Tune" a Faithless style trip-hop track proving that he's still just as much "now" as "then". "No Bridge I Wouldn't Cross" is another new production that coincidentally was written by Simon Climie (aka Climie Fisher) and Lulu. In an attempt to woo the kids again there's also a rather feeble version of "Could It Be Forever", re-recorded with pop stars Hear'Say. Apart from this slightly shaky ending an essential collection for fans, and an excellent introduction to the work of one of teeny-pop's first pin-ups. –John Galilee

DVD release from the British rockers includes a pair of live performances filmed in 1972 and 2005. In May 1972, the newly-fledged (but as yet unnamed) Manfred Mann's Earth Band toured Australia with Deep Purple and Free. The following year the band returned to play around 25 gigs around the country and were filmed at the University of New South Wales. A televised interview for the program Hitscene is also included here. The 'now' section of this DVD features footage from the 2005 Burg Herzberg Festival in Germany, together with a new interview with Manfred.

Over the past few decades, pianist Benny Green has established himself as one of the premier pianists and trio leaders. In fact, it has been since one of his earliest professional gigs with singing great Betty Carter that Green has played alongside a vocalist. But it was upon hearing young vocalist Veronica Swift that Green was tempted to expand his aural palette with both voice and Anne Drummond’s flute playing in the effort to record his new Then and Now.

Musical instruments come in all shapes and sizes! Some look very different, while others look very similar. As such, written definitions are not enough to point out which is which; and that's where picture books step in. Within the pages of this book, you will be educated on the different musical instruments. You will be surprised to see new finds too!

Perfectly Stoned - Then and Now - A Norwegian tribute to The Rolling Stones In 1995, a Norwegian tribute album to The Rolling Stones was released, featuring, among others, Jørn Lande, Casino Steel, Petter Baarli, Ottar Big Hand, Mads Eriksen, Morten Abel.
