Vinyl Rhetoric

This is the fifth and final studio album from The Police. It is their most successful, sporting several chart topping songs. Rolling Stone named it Album of the Year in 1983 and it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2009. Widely acclaimed by critics each song was seen as a mini soundtrack. For your pleasure we present Synchronicity, from The Police.

Recorded Thanksgiving Day 1976 at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. Billed as the final show for this tremendous group it was who's who of the rock scene at the time. Guests like Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, and Neil Diamond joined the festivities. Also filmed, the show became a documentary released in 1978 by famed filmmaker Martin Scorsese. Give it a listen and if you want to see what some hail as the best music documentary give it a view. Peace out.

This album can be seen as a transitional one between the heavy metal sound of their first two albums and the beginning of the radio-friendly direction of later releases. The album featured heavy metal rockers such as "Rock! Rock! til you Drop", "Stagefright" and "Die Hard the Hunter" as well as Top-40 hits "Photograph", "Rock of Ages" and "Foolin'. This album found mainstream success upon its release in 1983. So for your enjoyment here is Pyromania from Def Leppard.

Released on 10 September 1979 by Atlantic Records at Atlantic Studios in New York, with additional recording and whole mixing taking place at Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles this album. Climbing to number 5 on the Billboard 200 chart and receiving a Platinum certification four months after it hit the stores. Due in large part to the single Dirty White Boy this album produced a number of hits. So don't let this be a foreign album any longer.

This album, released in 1977, is the seventh studio album and biggest selling from this group selling around 10 million copies. We now present ELO for your enjoyment.

Here is a great band that ran into publishing issues with their label and subsequently refused to perform or record for some 20 years. Just happy they made great music that endures to this day. Give it up for CCR.

This 1990 release is the seventh studio album from English electronic band Depeche Mode. This album propelled them to international stardom. Along road but a change in production styles may have been the catalyst for such a breakthrough release. Reach out and get some the unique sounds from these blokes. We hope you find this enjoyable.

Today we bring you another sophomore release. Blob thought it might be fun to listen to early Aerosmith just prior to their breakout. Today we are listening to the 1974 release Get You Wings. This album, produced by Jack Douglas, was to be the beginning of a great relationship that would continue through their next four albums. Have much love and enjoy!

It is disheartening to learn of another death in the music world. So many talented people removing themselves from life is extremely sad. Please if you know someone who may be struggling. Do what you can. See you around.
