Heart - Magazine - LP Record

Heart

Heart - Magazine

1978 Mushroom Records Inc.

Magazine is the third studio album by the hard rock band Heart. The album was certified platinum, but failed to meet the same level of sales as the band"s previous two albums.

Magazine was intended to be the follow-up to Heart"s 1976 album Dreamboat Annie. However, Heart left Mushroom Records and went over to Portrait to record Little Queen for their second album. Magazine was later released to fulfill contractual obligations. It was originally released in late 1977 to radio stations, but the album was immediately pulled from general release. It is under dispute as to whether Heart or Mushroom Records were the ones demanding that parts of the album be re-mixed and re-recorded, but the original release was clearly a sub-par effort. The original track listings are slightly different in terms of order and length compared to what was eventually re-released in 1978.

Songs:

Heartless
Devil Delight
Just the Wine
Without You
Magazine
Here Song
Mother Earth Blues
I"ve Got The Music In Me

The Byrds Greatest Hits - LP Record

The Byrds Greatest Hits LP

The Byrds Greatest Hits

1967 CBS Inc. Columbia Records

The Byrds Greatest Hits is the fifth album, and first compilation, by the American rock and roll band, The Byrds, released 1967 on Columbia Records, catalogue item CL 2716 in mono, CS 9516 in stereo. It is the top-selling album in the Byrds catalogue, reaching #6 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart in 1967, certified a platinum-seller by the Recording Industry Association of America on November 21, 1986. In 2003, the album was ranked number 178 on Rolling Stone magazine"s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

A summary of the Byrds history during the stays of Gene Clark and David Crosby in the band, this compilation also serves as the survey of the group"s hit singles from 1965 to 1967 inclusive, the time when they were a force on the singles chart. Every A-side from this time period appears, with the exceptions of Set You Free This Time, Have You Seen Her Face, and Lady Friend, none of which cracked the Top 40. The set includes three favored album tracks, with the remaining eight singles tracks peaking at the following positions on the Billboard Hot 100: 5D (Fifth Dimension) #44; All I Really Want to Do #40; Mr. Spaceman #36; My Back Pages #30; So You Want to Be A Rock and Roll Star #29; Eight Miles High #14; Turn! Turn! Turn! #1; and Mr. Tambourine Man also #1. The last three records were among the most innovative and influential of the entire decade, at a time when singles, at least in rock and roll, were as important entities in their own right as albums, and generally more so. Turn! Turn! Turn! summed up sixties counter cultural values as much as Blowin" in the Wind, (I Can"t Get No) Satisfaction, or All You Need Is Love, while Mr. Tambourine Man and Eight Miles High helped to introduce the sub-genres of folk-rock and psychedelia respectively into the popular music of the day.

Greatest Hits was remixed and remastered at 20-bit resolution as part of the Columbia/Legacy Byrds series, reissued in an expanded form on March 30, 1999. The three bonus tracks included two of the remaining singles from this period, plus It Won"t Be Wrong. It was reissued again in the SACD format, with the same expanded track listing as on the 20-bit remaster, on January 30, 2001. All of the songs on this set appeared as well on the band"s first four albums proper.

Songs:

Mr. Tambourine Man
I"ll Feel a Whole Lot Better
The Bells of Rhymney
Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)
All I Really Want To Do
Chimes of Freedom
Eight Miles High
Mr. Spaceman
5 D (Fifth Dimension)
So You Want to Be a Rock and Roll Star
My Back Pages

Classic Records




Have you noticed the huge change in the Music industry over the past few decades. It seems that as the internet evolves so does the music industry. The usage of vinyl records has been reduced, 8 tracks and tapes have been shut out. CD's are now evolving to another form of media, MP3's. It would be silly to think that MP3's are going to last.



Original Vinyl Records and More is trying to preserve the 60's 70's and 80's music period.



The problem I have is not with the music companies, or with the music. It's with the change from physical to digital. Vinyl Records are the start of this music change. They are the beginning of the music revolution. Music prior to these Original Vinyl Records was only transfered by radio and possibly television at that time. Original Vinyl Records and More understands this and wants to recreate a dying trend.



Today's society is all about the clarity the ease of receiving and what ever it takes to stay lazy. Seriously, Can't anyone understand that music is not about the perfect clarity the digital funk or the crazy rhythms. Music is about heart soul and giving it everything you have got. The slight crackles of the needle as it slides across the LP are part of the sound. The possibility of scratching the Records is just one more reason to take good care of them. The Large Sleeves that cover the Records provide some of the greatest wall Art that has ever been available.



Original Vinyl Records and More is providing some of the world greatest Rock bands, Comedic Records, Easy Listening, Classics, and the first sounds of the digital music revolution with the most collectible record of all time - Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon
