Music on CD

Golden Earring: Collected 1967-2005 [Digibook / 3 CD]

Portland's Quarterflash led by husband & wife Rindy and Marv Ross (they were originally called 'Seafood Mama') took the pop world by storm in the '80s with 3 Geffen albums and 3 top-20 singles; "Hadden My Heart," "Find Another Fool" and "Take Me To Heart." . Even though Quarterflash harbors a definitive '80s-pop sound, the rich saxophone and sulty vocals of Rindy Ross give this average-sounding chorus-and-bridge rock a slightly distinct edge. Their music may best be described as Blue Eyed Soul meets Pop Rock. Quarterflash certainly found a little niche with their distinctive infusion of jazz, funk, rock and sultry vocals. The song "Make It Shine" was included on The Gremlins soundtrack.

Herbie Hancock: Future Shock [CD]

Allman Gregg: The Gregg Allman Tour [CD]

Stratovarius: Fright night 1989 [CD]

"Dead Ringer" was released in 1981, 4 years after the classic multiplatinum album "Bat Out Of Hell". Jim Steinman wrote and Meat Loaf sang with all his heart backed by the fabulous E Street Band; succeeding again in writing / producing perhaps the most ridiculous and farfetched rocktales, complimented by Bernie Wrightson's artwork.

'Highwayman' is the first studio album released 1985 by country supergroup The Highwaymen, comprising Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. These men are legendary country music singers on their own, and when you combine them, you get something very special, a supergroup. The songs are mostly covers, drawn from a diverse selection of songwriters including Bob Seger ("Against The Wind"), Woody Guthrie ("Deportee"), Jimmy Webb ("Highwaymen"), Ed Bruce ("Last Cowboy Song") and Cindy Walker ("Jim I Wore A Tie Today"). There are also a couple of Johnny Cash oldies, "Big River" and "Committed To Parkview." A true masterpiece.
