About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rhythm & Blues
- Description: UK collection. Mainstream and its subsidiaries IX Chains and Brown Dog were very classy New York labels owned by veteran produced Bob Shad. Formed in 1964 as a jazz tag, it diverged into rock and soul, re-launched itself in 1970 as strictly jazz again but assimilated soul and funk until its demise in mid-1976. IX Chains and Brown Dog were strictly soul until some of the cornier excesses of disco crept in in 1976. Tracks by Ellerine Harding, Nia Johnson and of course Sarah Vaughan have jazz elements in soul numbers, while the Steptones and the Dramatics are where soul moves close to disco without ruining a good song. Lenny Welch's 'A Hundred Pounds Of Pain', The Fantastic Puzzles Come Back' and Linda Perry's 'It's All In The Back Of Me Now' were big on the progressive Northern Soul scene of the 70s but most of the in-demand items have found favor in later decades. Almeta Lattimore's gorgeous 'These Memories' and Calvin Arnold's chugging southern soul burner 'Satisfy My Woman' could have been made for the soulful mid-tempo era of Crossover Soul. Big ticket items like 'We're Not Too Young To Fall In Love' by the Jackey Beavers Show and Randolph Brown's 'It Ain't Like It Used To Be' have more of a beat but retain their soul quotient and contributions from Words Of Wisdom, Charles Beverly and Lee Bates are usually below the radar but are tremendous soul songs. Soul ballads from McArthur, Sarah Vaughan and a killer version of 'When Something Is Wrong With My Baby' by Jackey Beavers vary the pace, while J. G. Lewis and Bobby Earl Williams provide tracks that are too long neglected. Two previously unheard Linda Perry soul dancers could very well seal the deal for the discerning fan. The audio, all from master tape, is exemplary and apt for the clever and subtle productions. Album Tracks 1. I Can't Give You Up - Linda Perry 2. Come Back PT 1 - the Fantastic Puzzles 3.

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. It was his first solo under Epic Records, the tag he would record on until his death roughly 30 years later. Album Tracks 1. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough 2. Rock with You 3.

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.

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. Another Part of Me 2. Man in the Mirror 3. I Just Can't Stop Loving You - Michael Jackson Feat. Siedah Garrett 4. Dirty Diana 5. Smooth Criminal
