Convivendo is the eighth album by Biagio Antonacci, published in two parts as a sign of protest against the record companies and the excessive prices of the discs, but also to try to counter the growing problem of piracy. To limit costs, prove that you can make good music and to achieve success without spending big bucks, the album was recorded in a recording studio in Bologna, the home of the singer.

Альбом ознаменовал значительные перемены в жизни и музыке Рода Стюарта, и прежде всего действительно "пересечение Атлантики" и переезд на ПМЖ в Америку, конкретно в Лос-Анджелес. Так же, альбом сильно отличался от всего, что Стюарт делал до того и представлял собой полный контраст к пластинкам Faces. Доморощенное качество предыдущих его сольных работ затмило безупречное американское производство и отполированное до блеска звучание. Он быстро поднялся на 1-е место в британских чартах, держался на топе пять недель, а всего 88 и стал не только бестселлером года, но и десятилетия.

По своему уровню "A Spanner in the Works" - гладкий, аккуратный альбом без каких-то резких взлетов, но и без откровенных падений. Его отличительная особенность заключается в интимной атмосфере, спокойном настроении, размеренности теплоте и душевности. Все это, а также акустический привкус на большинстве треков, явно унаследовано от недавнего "Unplugged".

In Blue is the third studio album by Irish pop rock band The Corrs, released in 2000 which saw the band become known in the United States. The title of the album comes from a lyric in the song "Give Me a Reason". As well as the UK number one single "Breathless", the album also contains new versions of "Radio" and "At Your Side", which had previously appeared on their previous album The Corrs Unplugged. Mutt Lange co-wrote and produced three songs from the album and Tim Martin was the engineer for the album's tracks for their recordings at Westland Studios and Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin.

Carry on Up the Charts: The Best of the Beautiful South was the surprise British hit of 1994, going platinum five times between its late fall release and the summer of 1995. The success was surprising, because while the Beautiful South had been modestly popular, their last few albums were sliding down the charts. However, their hits collection, Carry On Up the Charts, flew to number one and stayed there for weeks. It's nothing more than all their singles, yet compiled together they make the most convincing case for the Beautiful South's sly, cynical sophisticated pop.

This is a definitive best-of from the scathingly satiric, invariably tuneful band that arose from the ashes of The Housemartins. Sadly, Paul Heaton and friends have always been too twee and clever for the colonies, though classics like "My Book" and "Old Red Eyes Is Back" deserved better. A lovely, sing-along new track, "One Last Love Song," sounds like a farewell to arms, while the limited-edition disc of B sides proves that only XTC can match them in terms of high-caliber throwaways. --Jeff Bateman

The Dreams We Have as Children – Live at the Royal Albert Hall is a charity live album by singer/guitarist Noel Gallagher in support of Teenage Cancer Trust. Gallagher recorded the album at a charity concert at the London Royal Albert Hall on 27 March 2007.
Gallagher, best known as guitarist, main songwriter and occasional vocalist of English Britpop band Oasis played a set composing of primarily Oasis songs and was joined by fellow Oasis musician Gem Archer on guitar for the performance. The album's title stems from a lyric in the Oasis song "Fade Away", and Gallagher-penned Oasis songs make up the bulk of the songs recorded on the album. Past collaborator and friend of Gallagher Paul Weller (formerly of The Jam/Style Council) joined Gallagher on stage for two songs during the performance, too.

This generous 26-song collection, which is essentially the same as Raven's 2002 Lightning's Girl: Greatest Hits (there are a couple of minor differences), presents a sharp survey of Nancy Sinatra's commercial high points throughout her career, including a selection of her hits with Lee Hazlewood ("Some Velvet Morning," "Sand," "Jackson," "Down from Dover," "I've Been Down for So Long," "Summer Wine") and her own solo hits ("These Boots Are Made for Walkin'," "How Does That Grab You," "Sugar Town," "You Only Live Twice," "The Last of the Secret Agents," "Good Time Girl").
