The Studio Albums 1970 - 1990 is a complete 10CD collection of ZZ Top's classic Warner Brothers years, housed in a clamshell box with CDs replicated in mini vinyl sleeves.<br/><br/>Much has been said about the quality of the CD formats of the albums released during the 1980s which use remixed audio rather than the original tapes. Fans and critics have continually complained about the bad reverb and added 80s drum sounds of these versions, rectifying this The Studio Albums presents for the first time the original audio masters on CD for First Album, Rio Grande Mud and Tejas. It also includes the original masters for Tres Hombres and Fandango which were reissued in 2006.

Originally released in 1973, and celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2013, Space Ritual has set the standard live albums are judged by, capturing the incredible talents of the classic Hawkwind line up; the band's one constant member since the 60's Dave Brock on guitar, founding member Nik Turner on saxophone/flute, the genius lyrics of poet Bob Calvert, the personification of heavy metal, Lemmy on bass/vocals and the earth-moving rhythm section of Simon King. The show for the Space Ritual tour was conceived as a space rock opera, the band were heavily influenced by the space race and the sci fi and fantasy of author Michael Moorcock who even collaborated with the band on numerous occasions. <br/><br/>This 2CD set brings together the remastered original album (with tracks now extended), plus three bonus tracks taken from the 2007 Collector's Edition of the album.

De svenska country rockarna Bournon Boys slog igenom under 2012 med singlarna Hillbilly Heart och Rock n' Rolling Man, och släppte sitt debutalbum våren 2013.<br/>Bourbon Boys frontas av och är uppbyggt kring låtskrivaren och sångaren Pär Hulkoff och består till stor del av samma medlemmar som svenska hårdrocksbandet Raubtier. De har snabbt byggt en stor och trogen fanbase med både Raubtier-fans och nya mer country/rock-intresserade fans.<br/><br/><br/>"This new album Hail to the Chief is a homage to the music I and we together hold dear and true. Spanning from pure countrymusic to rootsy rock'n'roll, we wanted to refine and re-define the essence of what is Bourbon Boys. I have never been so proud of an album in my entire life. <br/><br/>We have seen the inside of many a smoky clubstages around Europe, and many of the songs that are included on this album have been tested before a live audience before we recorded them. We wanted to make an album that was true to the legacy of real and substantial music. With authentic sounds. Every song on this album is a heartfelt and honest composition, dealing musically with the challenge of the groove and lyrically with the hardships of living.<br/><br/>The production is beyond top of the line. I believe true magic was created under Mr. Jonas Kjellgrens sensitive surveillance, as he managed to capture that mystical nerve that a band of brothers that has bled upon the road together earns.<br/>I am damn proud, and I hope y'all will enjoy what we have created."<br/>Sincerely<br/>//Hulkoff, Bourbon Boys
