The Electric Light Orchestra is the eponymous debut studio album by English rock band Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), released in December 1971 in the United Kingdom by Harvest Records. In the United States, the album was released in early 1972 as No Answer, after a misunderstood telephone message made by a United Artists Records executive asking about the album name; the caller, having failed to reach the ELO contact, wrote down "no answer" in his notes, and this was misconstrued to be the name of the album. The Electric Light Orchestra (First Light Series) is a two disc expanded special 30th anniversary edition of their debut album. Released in 2001 in the UK, disc one contains the original ELO album plus bonus tracks and an interactive CD-ROM feature, while disc two features the oldest surviving live ELO material with co/founder Roy Wood and cellist Andy Craig.

MAGNIFICENT BROADCAST FROM THE CURE’S FIRST EUROPEAN TOUR • Formed in Crawley, West Sussex, in 1978, from the ashes of their forerunner Easy Cure, by Robert Smith, Michael Dempsey and Lol Tolhurst, the Cure’s debut album, Three Imaginary Boys was issued in May 1979. It was this along with several early singles that placed the band in the post-punk movement which had sprung up in the United Kingdom that same year. An early demo-tape found its way to Polydor Records scout Chris Parry, who signed the Cure to his newly-formed Fiction label - distributed by Polydor - in September 1978. ‘Killing An Arab’ the Cure’s first single came out in December ’78. • 1979 found the band touring the UK frantically, and they put in the odd European festival date during the summer months too. On December 10th The Cure travelled across to continental Europe to play their first show there in Utrecht that night, followed by a gig in Eindhoven on the 11th. • The following evening, they took the stage at Amsterdam’s magnificent Melkweg venue for a concert that remains a firm favourite among fans. Recorded for live FM radio broadcast across the Netherlands, the show has nevertheless never been issued on CD previously. That all changes however with this new release which captures the entire set the band played that cold winter evening more than 40 years ago

The Corrs step back into the limelight with their stunning 2015 album "White Light". Having sold over 40 million albums, White Light is their first studio record in over a decade. The album features 12 brand new songs that exquisitely mix that endearing, classic Corrs sound with modern pop and traditional Irish folk music. Highlights are many and include the gently political 'Ellis Island', a song already praised by Bono; and the evocative 'Gerry's Reel', an instrumental dedicated to their late father, Gerry Corr who sadly passed away earlier this year.

The Light Armored Vehicle 25 (LAV-25) has played a significant role in transforming United States Marine Corps doctrine since its introduction in the early 1980s. The Marine Corps' Light Armored Vehicle program was based on the proven Swiss MOWAG Piranha series of 4x4, 6x6, and 8x8 wheeled vehicles. However, developing organizational units, tactics, and employment of the weapon system within the force structure of the Marine Corps proved to be more of a challenge than fielding the weapon system. This resulted in multiple re-designations for LAV units within the Corps.

Since their last album in 2016, A Moon Shaped Pool, the members of Radiohead have been quietly going about their business solo between two reissues, O'Brien on his first album, Philip Selway on a soundtrack… And then, in May 2021, at On the occasion of a livestream of the famous English festival Glastonbury, Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood unveiled the most substantial of all these side projects with The Smile, a supergroup founded with Tom Skinner, the drummer of the Sons of Kemet of Shabaka Hutchings, the formation most popular of London Jazz. In the hitch, we also find the irremovable producer Nigel Godrich, the string section of the London Contemporary Orchestra and a brass section made up of the finest blades of contemporary English jazz such as Chelsea Carmichael and Byron Wallen. Not bad for a record composed to pass the time during confinement!
