Magic is an album by British rock band Gillan, their final collaboration, released in 1982. It was reissued in 1989 with seven "bonus" tracks, including cover versions and B-sides. "South Africa" /"John" was a single Ian had written and recorded with guitarist Bernie Marsden.
Although the album was generally accepted by Gillan's staunch UK following it failed to achieve the chart success of Glory Road or Future Shock, peaking at No. 17 in the UK chart.
Gillan disbanded when Ian Gillan became the singer of Black Sabbath in 1983 for only one album and tour, and shortly thereafter joined the reformed Deep Purple in 1984.

Heaven & Earth is the twenty-first studio album from the English progressive rock band Yes, first released on 16 July 2014 on Frontiers Records.

Double Trouble is the fifth album by the British rock band Gillan, released in 1981. It was released as a double album, the first disc containing studio material, and the second containing live recordings. It reached No. 12 in the UK charts. In 1989, Virgin re-released the album, with the same track listing, in CD format. It is the first album to feature Janick Gers, since Bernie Tormé left the group during the tour of Germany in 1981. In fact Tormé was fired because he did not want to participate in the playback TV performance of "No Laughing in Heaven" at "Top of the Pops" on 24 June 1981. Janick Gers came in for the rest of the tour on 25 June 1981.

For one matter, Mason's new touring band is billed as Dave Mason's Traffic Jam, although there are few overt connections to Mason's most famous group. Rather, Mason says Future's Past was built on songs his group has been playing live over the past seven years and most come from various stages of his career. Only one song, "That's Freedom," is new.

Chicago VI is the fifth studio album by American rock band Chicago and was released in 1973. Following the streamlined character of Chicago V, this successor would see the group follow more of a pop music approach, relying less on their trademark horns and exploring varied music forms.

Stampede is the fifth studio album by American rock band The Doobie Brothers, released in 1975. (see 1975 in music). It was the final album by the band before Michael McDonald took over from Tom Johnston. The album has been certified gold by the RIAA.

“Jail” is extremely solid from beginning to end where every song has killer chords and hooks which make them standout. There is absolutely no filler material on this disc. While some songs are obviously better than others, there is not what I would consider a weak track to be found. Some are based on a very hard-rockin’, infectious guitar hook. Others revolve around a big sing-along chorus. The rest fall somewhere in between with a combination of the two. I think it is a safe bet that you’ll find yourself singing “Scream” or “Bloodstained Highway” long after the disc has stopped.

Идея «Абракадабры» – это абракадабра во всём: и в ритмах, и в стиле и в голове… 1987 год для всей Советской страны был многообещающим… Если добавить к этому мои 25 лет, то многое на альбоме становиться понятным. Сатира «Худсовета» (меня из подполья никуда не пускали), «Тяжёлого Дня» (ежедневная рутина советского служащего, описанная Сергеем Мировым), наконец тема Ирака-Ирана, где непонятно «кто-кого-за что». С. Минаев.

За 26 лет своего существования итальянская группа Matia Bazar продала миллионы копий своих альбомов по всему миру и обрела всенародную слушательскую любовь.
