About this product
Musical prodigy and formally trained pianist, Kenneth Peacock (1922-2000) always considered singing to be one of his private vices. In 1951, he conducted research at the archives of the National Museum of Canada for West Coast Indian poetry that might serve as a libretto for a cantata. During subsequent visits, under the influence of Marius Barbeau, one of Canada's leading folklorists, Peacock became interested in the music collections. He subsequently traveled across Canada collecting and recording folk songs and Native music. Turning his vice to virtue, Peacock sings unaccompanied on this album of Newfoundland songs and ballads, which he recorded in 1956. Liner notes include biographical and musical notes as well as song lyrics. Album Tracks 1. Who Is at My Window Weeping? 2. Bonnie Banks of the Virgie-O 3. Lots of Fish in Bonavist' Harbor 4. Bill Wiseman 5. Hard Times 6. The Loss of the Eliza 7. Woman of Dover - Woman from Dover 8. Brown Flour 1926 9. Green Shores of Fogo 10. Lonely Waterloo 11. Drill, Ye Heroes, Drill! - Drill, Ye Tarriers, Drill! 12. Jimmy Whalen 13. Seventeen Come Sunday

Limited vinyl LP repressing in gatefold jacket. Thriller is the sixth solo studio album by Michael Jackson. It was released by Epic Records on November 30, 1982, as the follow-up to Jackson's critically and commercially successful 1979 album Off The Wall. Thriller explores similar genres to those of Off The Wall, including pop, post-disco, rock and funk. Recording sessions took place on April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles with a production budget of $750, 000, assisted by producer Quincy Jones. Seven singles were released from the album, all of which reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. In just over a year, Thriller became-and currently remains-the best-selling album of all time, with estimated sales of 65 million copies worldwide. It has become the first album ever to be certified 32 times multi-platinum for U.S. sales, marking more than 32 million sales shipped. The album won a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards in 1984, including for Album of the Year. Album Tracks 1. Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' Jackson, Michael 6 03 2.
