1985 Japanese CD release on the Teichiku Records label. One of the earliest releases of the Beatles on CD, this album features tracks from the Beatles failed audition for Decca records on January 1, 1962. The drummer on these tracks is Pete Best (not Ringo Starr).

The Stones forsook psychedelic experimentation to return to their blues roots on this celebrated album, which was immediately acclaimed as one of their landmark achievements. A strong acoustic Delta blues flavor colors much of the material, particularly "Salt of the Earth" and "No Expectations," which features some beautiful slide guitar work. Basic rock & roll was not forgotten, however: "Street Fighting Man," a reflection of the political turbulence of 1968, was one of their most innovative singles, and "Sympathy for the Devil," with its fire-dancing guitar licks, leering Jagger vocals, African rhythms, and explicitly satanic lyrics, was an image-defining epic. On "Stray Cat Blues," Jagger and crew began to explore the kind of decadent sexual sleaze that they would take to the point of self-parody by the mid-'70s. At the time, though, the approach was still fresh, and the lyrical bite of most of the material ensured Beggars Banquet's place as one of the top blues-based rock records of all time.

Stand With The Youth is a spectacularly high-octane, deeply infectious, and masterfully paced ska-punk masterpiece by the premier Canadian brass-fueled rock & roll outfit K-Man & The 45s, released in 2019 by the legendary Montreal-based independent label Stomp Records. Spanning a lean, breathless 33 minutes across 12 hyper-energetic tracks, this high-fidelity studio document acts as a definitive showcase of the band's signature "ska-roll" sound—a furious, danceable cocktail that fuses traditional Jamaican offbeats with the raw power of 77 punk rock, heavy garage riffs, and blistering classic horn lines. Driven by frontman K-Man's gritty vocals and an absolutely relentless rhythm section, the production avoids modern, over-polished sterile traps, favoring an explosive organic room sound that captures the sweat and adrenaline of their renowned live performances. The tracklist rolls forward as an unstoppable non-stop barrage, guiding listeners through politically conscious anthems like the title track "Stand With the Youth" and "Hooligans," alongside fast-paced genre-bending ragers like "Hero With a Death Ray" and "Paranoid Panic." Exceptionally preserved in pristine lossless FLAC quality with an intact cue sheet and direct sector verification logging, this modern rude boy document stands as an absolute mandatory cornerstone and a prized collector's holy grail for global purists of modern Third Wave ska, high-energy Canadian punk rock, and triumphant horn-drenched history.

Founding Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman essentially retired from music after leaving the band in 1993, choosing to dedicate time to his family and his restaurant, Sticky Fingers. He returned to music in 1997 with Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings, a rotating old-time rock & roll, R&B, blues, and boogie collective of superstar musicians anchored by keyboardist Georgie Fame, guitarist Albert Lee, pianist Gary Brooker, and guitarist Terry Taylor. Their first album, Struttin' Our Stuff, appeared that year and it was followed two years later by Anyway the Wind Blows, which featured cameos from Peter Frampton, Geraint Watkins, Paul Carrack, and, notably, fellow Stone Keith Richards. Groovin' arrived in 2000, reaching a career peak of 52 on the U.K. charts.

Chronicle, Vol. 1 contains every one of Creedence Clearwater Revival's original 19 hit singles – including "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," "Green River," "Down on the Corner," "Travelin' Band," "Up Around the Band," and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" – plus "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," which became a hit at the same time this double-record compilation was released. It's a lean, concise collection that tells you everything you need to know about Creedence. Several of the band's individual albums are essential, but Chronicle is not only an excellent introduction to the group, it offers definitive proof that the group was one of the definitive singles' bands of the late '60s. Rarely has a greatest- hits collection been so well-assembled. Chronicle, Vol. 2 effectively compiles all of the highlights from Creedence Clearwater Revival's career that weren't on the first volume. All of the singles were included on Chronicle, Vol. 1, so Chronicle, Vol. 2 is comprised solely of album tracks.

And he is live, absolutely! Rod Stewart in concert from L.A. to London and beyond on this great live album. 17 performances across 5 venues from a 1981-81 international tour.
