of Monster Anniversary

This classic 1977 album featured 3 monster hits: "Cocaine", "Wonderful Tonight", "Lay Down Sally", was ranked in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", and hit #2 on the Billboard Album Charts. Matching Clapton's legendary guitar playing with some of his greatest songwriting, the album is among the best recordings of the legendary musician's career. Everyone needs at least one copy of this classic.

If you were challenged to name five rock albums that epitomized the '70s, Frampton Comes Alive! should probably top the list. Former Humble Pie guitarist Peter Frampton recorded a few perfectly fine albums with his band Frampton's Camel, but it wasn't until some of those tracks were recorded at a live performance in San Francisco and released as Frampton Comes Alive! that he became a household name. Buoyant pop, sentimental ballads, arena rock–this album has it all. This 25th-anniversary remastered package features three previously unreleased tracks from the source shows, plus an additional selection recorded at the time as a radio promo.

The 25th anniversary edition features the remastered original mix on CD 1, followed by a disc of 15 previously unreleased demos, with names like ‘Rocker With Vocal’ or ‘Mike’s Gtr’. The third CD is Scott Litt’s new 2019 stereo remix and this is followed by two further CDs that offer an unreleased live set from the 1995 Monster Tour. In terms of the new stereo mix, the idea was to pull the guitars back and push the vocals forward to create a more open sound and showcase the lyrics. You can get a taster by listening to ‘What’s The Frequency Kenneth?’, below.

"Countdown to Extinction" is the exhilarating fifth studio album by Megadeth. The record is one of their bestselling works to date and was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 1993 GRAMMY Awards. The album reached #2 on the Billboard 200 and includes the monster hits “Symphony of Destruction”, “Skin O’ My Teeth”, “Sweating Bullets” and “Foreclosure of a Dream”.

Elvis Presley belongs on the short list of artists who changed the course of popular music in the 20th century. He may not have invented rock & roll, but he was indisputably its first rock star, a singer whose charisma was tightly intertwined with his natural talent for a combination that seemed combustible, sexy, and dangerous when Presley seized the imagination of America with four successive number one singles in 1956. He spent the next two decades near the top of the charts, weathering changes in fashion, self-inflicted missteps, and comebacks as his music expanded and evolved.

Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition. In 1991, Curve arrived on the scene with a series of increasingly successful EPs via Dave Stewart's Anxious label. A year later they released their debut album, Doppelganger. A monster and stately record, it was their sonic manifesto. Self-produced with Flood, and mixed by emergent super engineer and unofficial sixth Curve member Alan Moulder (Ride, U2, My Bloody Valentine, Marilyn Manson, Smashing Pumpkins, Yeah Yeah Yeahs), it's ability to sandblast your nerve endings for breakfast is matched only by it's tendency to inebriate the listener with it's aromatic charm. The album features two singles, 'Fait Accompli' and 'Horror Head' both of which hit the Top 40 in 1992. Now, this edition of the album is expanded and packed with the singles and the three EPs (all remastered from the original tapes) plus four rare tracks including the Aphex Twin remix of 'Falling Free', as compiled by Dean Garcia and Toni Halliday.
