About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rock
- Description: Fire Re-issue, this has not been available for many years on CD. 1989 It's nine years since John Lennon died, and five years since The Television Personalities have had an album released. The world is battered by Phil Collins, out-styled by Duran Duran and terrified of New Kids On The Block. Did we really fight the punk rock wars for this? Meanwhile, Fire Records sign the latest incarnation of the TVPs and let them loose in a proper studio. In the intervening years The Smiths and Orange Juice have carried the indie torch and, by the process of osmosis their cheery pomp has filtered into Privilege. Superficially the band seems vaguely upbeat it's just a front. Dan Treacy still isn't happy. He's doesn't understand clubland, he's too young to regret but not too old to forget. He's a man with a Bic biro in a new age of the Game Boy and he's all the better for it. If his muse is overcome by the versatility of Swatch watches and Back To The Future II, he doesn't allow the songs on Privilege to bend to temptation. The world is still wrong; it's still unreal; as evidenced by the guest list at Salvador Dali's Garden Party. Elsewhere there's a hint of 60s soap operas, from Cathy Come Home to The Wicker Man. Whatever is happening outside as the decade spirals to a close, Dan Treacy still has one eye on the screen the other on his notepad he's fighting to remain in the then, whenever it may be. Technology meets pop, and the sounds that leak out of the machines sound public and private, historical and ahistorical, rich and prickly. Robert Sheffield, Spin. The poignancy is perfectly stated. The guitars are lovingly, handsomely harangued. Colours, girls and tears fly in all directions, splashing down with exquisite psychedelic accuracy. Simon Williams, NME1. Paradise Is For The Blessed 2. A Good And Faithful Servant 3. Conscience Tells Me No 4. My Hedonistic Tendencies 5. All My Dr

It was released on August 10, 1979, following Jackson's critically well-received film performance in The Wiz. While working on that project, Jackson and Quincy Jones had become friends, and Jones agreed to work with Jackson on his next studio album. Recording sessions took place between December 1978 and June 1979 at Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios, and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California. Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album.

Limited vinyl LP repressing in gatefold jacket. Bad is the seventh solo studio album by Michael Jackson. It was released on August 31, 1987, nearly five years after Jackson's previous studio album, Thriller. Bad was recorded during the first half of 1987. The lyrical themes on the record relate to media bias, paranoia, racial profiling, romance, self-improvement and world peace. The album is widely regarded as having cemented Jackson's status as one of the most successful artists of the 1980s, as well as enhancing his solo career and being one of the best musical projects of his career. Five of the singles hit #1 in the United States, while a sixth charted within the Top Ten, and a seventh charted within the Top Twenty on the Hot 100. Bad peaked at #1 in thirteen countries and charted within the Top Twenty in other territories. Album Tracks 1. Bad 2. The Way You Make Me Feel 3. Speed Demon 4. Liberian Girl 5. Just Good Friends 1.

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.
