"Unbehagen" is the second studio album by Nina Hagen Band, released in 1979 by CBS Records. It is the last album released by the band, before Nina Hagen decided to pursue a solo career. 
The band kept on performing under the name Spliff.
The album produced three singles, “African Reggae”, “Herrmann hiess er” and “Auf’m Rummel”. “Herrmann hiess er” deals with drug addiction and is believed to be about Hagen’s ex-boyfriend Herman Brood. 
An accompanying music video was also released. The album also contains a German cover version, “Wir leben immer… noch”, of Lene Lovich‘s hit single “Lucky Number“. 
The song “Wenn ich ein Junge wär” was recorded live in April 1979 at the Saarbrücken Congress Hall.
The Album “Unbehagen” (which means discomfort or unease), was produced with the band recording their tracks in Berlin and Hagen recording the vocals in Los Angeles. The other band members went on as the band “Spliff”.
Meanwhile Hagen´s public persona was steadly creating media uproar and she became infamous for an appearance on an Austrian talk show called Club 2, in which she simulated masturbation.
She also acted with Dutch rocker Herman Brood and singer Lene Lovich in the movie “Cha Cha”.
The album was a chart success and was certified Gold in Germany in 1981.

Missing Persons - Spring Session M (1982) (vinyl Lp) - €7,00

No comments  
posted by ad-vinylrecords

“Spring Session M” is the debut studio album by American rock band Missing Persons.
It was released on October 8, 1982, by Capitol Records. The title of the album is an anagram of the band’s name.
Produced by Ken Scott with the songs written by Terry Bozzio, Dale Bozzio, and Warren Cuccurullo, Spring Session M is a new wave rock album with elements of synth-pop.
Although it got lost in a flood of new romantic/new hairstyle dross at the start of the ’80s, there is far more substance to Missing Persons’ official debut, Spring Session M, than the likes of A Flock of Seagulls or Classix Nouveaux could ever hope to muster. 
Sure, there were cheesy synthesizers aplenty and a slick production that threatened to strangle the band’s melodic flair, but in singer Dale Bozzio, Missing Persons had a natural star. 
Bozzio’s sugary hiccup vocal style was both alien and alluring, going on to inform the styles of bands like No Doubt, theStart, and the Sounds. The pivotal song on the album — the title of which is an anagram of the band’s name — is “Walking in L.A.,” which became a minor hit on the back of the group’s glossy magazine visibility.
Four singles were released from the album: “Words”, “Windows”, “Destination Unknown”, and “Walking in L.A.” All singles charted on the Billboard Hot 100, with “Words” and “Destination Unknown” both reaching #42, and the music videos also received regular airplay on MTV.

Bruce Cockburn - Inner City Front (1981) (vinyl Lp) - €5,00

No comments  

posted by ad-vinylrecords

"Inner City Front" is the eleventh full-length album by Canadian singer/songwriter Bruce Cockburn, released in 1981 by True North Records.

Inner City Front continues the urban toughness that moved to the forefront on Bruce Cockburn's previous release, Humans. 
Furthermore, like that record, there's an uneasiness that runs throughout, from the jazz-tinged opener, "You Pay Your Money and You Take Your Chance," to the disquieting "Loner," which closes the album. 
Even a love song like "Wanna Go Walking," one of the most straightforward rockers he's ever recorded, reflects the weight of the outside world. 
Only the jazzy instrumental "Radio Shoes" and the joyful "And We Dance" remain free of this underlying tension. 
Musically, moody synths, violin, and woodwinds on Inner City Front underscore the dark, reflective nature of the material, which like its predecessor, deals with the "paradox and contrast" in the human condition, from personal relationships to world affairs. 
Also, for the second consecutive recording, Cockburn eschews the folkier, acoustic leanings of his '70s work and places both feet squarely into the jazz and worldbeat rock that dominated the majority of Humans. 
One track, "The Strong One," is even given a slow, brooding, techno treatment. 
Since the release of In the Falling Dark, Cockburn was gaining creative momentum with each release, and Inner City Front continues that trend.


Side one
1.  You Pay Your Money And You Take Your Chance - 4:19
2.  The Strong One - 6:03
3.  All’s Quiet On The Inner City Front - 5:27

5.  Wanna Go Walking - 2:53

Steeley Span - All Around My Hat (1975) (vinyl Lp) - €10,00

No comments  

posted by ad-vinylrecords

"All Around My Hat" is a 1975 album by Steeleye Span, their eighth and highest-charting; it reached number 7 on the UK Albums Chart, and stayed on the chart for six months. 
It was produced by Mike Batt, who also produced their follow-up album Rocket Cottage. It briefly made the band a household name in the UK. In the United States it became the band’s first album to chart, reaching number 143.

They sound like would-be competitors to the Who on the opening bars of “The Wife of Usher’s Well,” with Bob Johnson‘s electric guitar grinding out power chords like nobody’s business. 
The vocals have their usual elegance, the harmonies soaring exquisitely, but between the choruses the guitar puts out lots of wattage. The guitar competes with Maddy Prior‘s voice for dominance on tracks like “Hard Times of Old England,” “Bachelor’s Hall,” and “Dance with Me.” 
There’s some more traditional-sounding material here, including the lovely “Cadgwith Anthem” and “Gamble Gold (Robin Hood),” where the group returns to acoustic instruments. 
A single of the upbeat title track also made the charts in England, and the overall sound was the work of producer Mike Batt, who gave the band a raw, stripped-down style, with only the smallest touching up and the very lightest of overdubbed strings.
The title track was edited to just over three minutes long for single release and became their highest-charting single, reaching No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart, with “Black Jack Davy” as its B-side.
In 1976 an edited version of a second track from the album, “Hard Times of Old England“, was issued as a single, but did not chart.
The song “Dance with Me” is a version of a Scandinavian ballad, “Herr Olof och Älvorna“.
The album cover and back was designed by John O’Connor, a friend of the band’s guitarist Tim Hart, using an anamorphic projection that distorted the facial features of the band members but which looks correct when viewed from the side through special pinholes in the lyric sheet.

1.  Black Jack Davy - 4:15
2.  Hard Times of Old England - 5:10
3.  Cadgwith Anthem - 2:45
4.  Sum Waves (Tunes) - 4:00

Al Jarreau - Look To The Rainbow - Live In Europe (1977) (vinyl 2Lp) - €20,00

No comments  

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Alwin Lopez "Al" Jarreau (12 March 1940 – 12 February 2017) was an American singer and musician. 
He received a total of seven Grammy Awards and was nominated for over a dozen more.
In 1968, Jarreau made jazz his primary occupation.
In 1969, Jarreau and Martinez headed south, where Jarreau appeared at Dino's, The Troubadour, and Bitter End West. Television exposure came from Johnny Carson, Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin, Dinah Shore, and David Frost.
He expanded his nightclub appearances, performing at The Improv between the acts of such rising stars as Bette Midler, Jimmie Walker, and John Belushi.
During this period, he became involved with the United Church of Religious Science and the Church of Scientology. 
Also, roughly at the same time, he began writing his own lyrics, finding that his Christian spirituality began to influence his work.

In 1975, Jarreau was working with pianist Tom Canning when he was spotted by Warner Bros. Records. On Valentine's Day 1976 he sang on the thirteenth episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live, that week hosted by Peter Boyle.
Soon he released his critically acclaimed debut album, We Got By, which catapulted him to international fame and won an Echo Award (the German equivalent of the Grammys in the United States).
A second Echo Award would follow with the release of his second album, Glow. In 1978, he won his first Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance for his album, Look To The Rainbow.

"Look to the Rainbow" is a live album by Al Jarreau, released on May 27, 1977 by Warner Bros. Records. It marked a breakthrough for his career in Europe and later also in the US.
In 1976 Jarreau made his first live appearances in Europe, starting with concerts at the jazz festivals in Montreux and Berlin. 
The following year he began his first tour through 16 cities in Europe starting with a gig at Onkel Pö's in Hamburg. Look to the Rainbow is a set of recordings from that tour.
The title song "Look to the Rainbow" is from the musical Finian's Rainbow, a Broadway production from the late 1940s. 
The most recognized song on this album is Jarreau's interpretation of Paul Desmond's classic jazz number "Take Five", which was also released as a single in an edited version in 1977.
Look to the Rainbow is a jazz-oriented album which is characterized by a unique light and open sound. With no guitar or brass instruments, accompanied by Tom Canning's Fender Rhodes (in some places supported by an ARP String Ensemble) and Lynn Blessing's vibraphone, Al Jarreau's voice is the main lead instrument and he uses it intensely as such.

Chaka Khan - Chaka (1978) (vinyl Lp) - €5,00

No comments  

posted by ad-vinylrecords

"Chaka" is the debut solo album by American singer Chaka Khan. It was released on October 12, 1978, through Warner Bros. Records. 

After experiencing a heap of commercial and artistic success fronting the funk-soul band, Rufus, during the early-to-late ’70s, Chicago-born Khan (real name Yvette Marie Stevens) broke loose and signed a lucrative deal with Warner Bros in 1978. 
This was her much-anticipated debut album for the then Burbank-based ‘Looney Tune’ label and it’s just been revived by UK reissue label bbr. 
It undoubtedly remains one of the best long players in Chaka’s extensive canon and perhaps the reason for that is the vision and skill of producer, Arif Mardin, who corralled the talents of New York’s finest session players (though the core rhythm section is comprised of Average White Band members) and also found some superlative material for the singer. 
His arrangements, too – which include charts for strings, brass and woodwind – are well-executed and bring the best out of Chaka’s magisterial vocals.
The album’s lead-off cut, the Ashford and Simpson-penned ‘I’m Every Woman’ was the album’s big hit back in ’78 and quickly became adopted by Chaka as her signature song (even though Whitney Houston tried to appropriate it when she made the ‘Bodyguard’ movie in 1992). 
With its pulsating strings, driving disco-inflected beat and Chaka’s hi-octane vocals, it still sounds superb today. 
But the album wasn’t a one-track wonder. 
In fact, it boasts a lot of stylistic variety – ranging from the plaintive gospel-hued ballad, ‘Roll Me Through The Rushes,’ and the dramatic ‘Love Has Fallen On Me’ – driven by Richard Tee’s rolling piano figures – to the brassy, let-your-hair-down, bell-bottomed funk of ‘Life Is A Dance,’ and the catchy pop-soul of ‘A Woman In A Man’s World.’ 
Best of all is the sleek, widescreen disco-groove of ‘Some Love,’ co-penned by the singer with her brother (and bass player on the cut), Mark Stevens, and featuring a Michael Brecker sax solo. 
Often overlooked, ‘Some Love’ is actually one of Chaka’s best ever tracks with a vocal performance that can only be described as spine-chilling with its stratospheric febrile athleticism. 
George Benson provides a vocal cameo on the infectious ‘We Got The Love’ while ‘Sleep On It’ is another great cut. 
In fact, the album doesn’t have any perceptible weak links and concludes with a fiery version of Stevie Wonder’s ‘I Was Made To Love Him,’ which Chaka, of course, makes her own.

L.T.D. - Shine On (1980) (vinyl Lp) - €10,00

No comments  

posted by ad-vinylrecords

"Shine On" is the seventh studio album by Los Angeles, California -based band, L.T.D., released in 1980 on the A&M label. 
This was the last album to feature frontman Jeffrey Osborne and his brother Billy Osborne, as they quit the group to start solo careers a year later.

Since the group's first national hit "Love Ballad," Jeffrey Osborne had been the featured vocalist for LTD. 
However, this recording would be his last one with the group before pursuing a solo career. This album spawned two upstanding singles -- "Where Did We Go Wrong" and "Shine On" -- the fomer being a rhythmic ballad enhanced by some stylish background vocals, leaving Jeffrey Osborne substantial space to demonstrate his commanding vocal ability. 
In spite of having all the right ingredients to attain that number one status, the single peaked at number seven after 20 weeks on the Billboard R&B charts. 
It would be the group's last single to crack the Top Ten. The latter composition is arranged with noticeable crossover appeal augmented by Osborne's crooning vocals; the single peaked at 19 before fizzling out after 18 weeks.

Powerful Vocals: Jeffrey Osborne's delivery on tracks like "Lady Love" is frequently highlighted.
Uplifting Funk: Songs like "You Gave Me Love" and "Don't Cha Know" are noted for their great horn sections and danceability.
Romantic Ballads: The album delivers poignant love songs, resonating with listeners seeking deep emotional connection. 

The album reached at number 28 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and number 6 on the Soul LPs chart. 
The single "Where Did We Go Wrong" peaked at number 7 on the Hot Soul Singles chart, while the title track, peaked at number 19 on the same chart as well as number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The Major Dundee Band - The Longer The Distance (1979) (vinyl LP) - €10,00

No comments  

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Major Dundee, tot 1994 The Major Dundee Band genaamd, is sinds 1979 een Nederlandse countryrock-band. 
De band werd opgericht in Oosterhout in de Gelderse Overbetuwe en werkte samen met artiesten als de tex-mex-accordeonist Flaco Jiménez en met Toni Willé die voorheen voor Pussycat zong.
De Major Dundee Band is een 1977 in Oosterhout opgerichte Country- rock band met als Leadzanger Dick van Altena.
In 1978 verscheen de eerste single, "The longer the distance", met een plaats op nummer 29 van de Nationale Hitparade en nummer 35 van de Nederlandse Top 40. 
Het nummer was geschreven door Fred Limpens en werd uitgebracht bij het Killroy-label van Johnny Hoes. 
Nog hetzelfde jaar werd de elpee "I bought me a fiddle today" uitgebracht.
Dankzij de single beleefde de band een snelle start. Ondanks dat het de enige plaat is geweest die de hitparades heeft bereikt, werd de band meteen een gevestigde naam onder de countryliefhebbers en werd het al meteen gerekend tot een van de beste countryrock-groepen van Nederland.
In de jaren tachtig verlieten Karel Mombarg, Peter van Vlaanderen en Ton Verkooyen de band en traden de bassist Roy Schenkhuysen en gitarist Cor de Vos toe. Hierna had Van Altena het druk met solo-albums en een verzamelalbum met meerdere artiesten, waardoor de activiteit van de band een tijd op een laag pitje kwam te staan.

Nick Straker Band - Future’s Above My Head (1979) (vinyl Lp) - €10,00

The Nick Straker Band were an English pop music group from London, England, led by musician and vocalist Nick Straker, who had earlier gained experience by playing in Dennis Bovell's Matumbi, a dub and roots reggae band. 
Several members of the band were also in New Musik, and the band's line-up consisted of Straker along with Tony Mansfield, Tony Hibbert, David McShera, Pete Hammond and Phil Towner. 
Nick Straker Band's 1979 album, "Future's Above My Head", is a notable Euro Disco/Boogie release, known for its popular hit "A Walk in the Park" but also praised for hidden gems like the instrumental "Early Bird," often described as a classic, with collectors seeking its original vinyl for its sound quality, reflecting a nostalgic appeal for its era's sound, especially the album version of their big hit. 
Their song "A Walk in the Park" (released June 1979 Pinnacle label) peaked at No. 20 on the UK Singles Chart in 1980, having previously been a substantial hit in Continental Europe in 1979.
A staple of Euro Disco and Boogie, capturing that late '70s electronic/funk vibe.
In essence, Future's Above My Head is remembered fondly for its dancefloor-friendly hits and its representation of late '70s electronic dance music, especially for fans of the genre.
