No Place To Run, the eighth studio album by UFO and the first with Paul Chapman on guitar, following the departure of Michael Schenker. Produced by legendary Beatles producer George Martin, the album was recorded at AIR Studios in Montserrat in the Caribbean, a stark difference from the bands' usual surroundings.No Place To Run has been newly remastered and cut from the original production tapes at AIR Mastering. This set comes with a recording from the band's appearance at the Marquee in Soho, London, a deliberate and huge undersell to generate excitement, filling that small and sweaty room with passion and commitment. At this point UFO were still ahead of it, one of the great British rock bands of the era.

A band from Yorkshire, formed in 1965 under the name The Shots, was also called Chords Five. Since 1967 - The Smoke (which means London in local slang). It's Smoke Time is their only LP from 1967 + singles. The very first forty-five My Friend Jack immortalized The Smoke in the annals of psychedelia - not so much because of its musical merits, but thanks to the line "My friend Jack eats sugar lamps", which caused indignation of the BBC censorship, which banned the song and unwittingly enveloped The Smoke in an atmosphere of heroism. As a result, The Smoke boycotted by radio stations were able to achieve greater popularity on the continent, especially in Germany - where the album It's Smoke Time was released, which has not yet been released in England. The band's subsequent UK releases did not generate the same hype as My Friend Jack. An interesting song is Utterly Simple, written by Dave Mason and featured on the Traffic album "Dear Mr. Fantasy". Although it was never released as a single, it can be heard on various psychedelic compilations. The preserved material paints The Smoke as a musically diverse, rather tough (sometimes garage) band capable of composing a good melody, conveying concert drive to the listener and knowing the measure when using studio effects. After the breakup of the band, none of its members left any noticeable traces in music anymore, with the exception of drummer Jeff Gill, who became the sound engineer of the famous disco band Boney M.

Following back-to-back Grammy-winning albums with her band Golden Highway, along with a Best New Artist nomination, Molly Tuttle releases her new solo album, So Long Little Miss Sunshine, on August 15, 2025 via Nonesuch Records. Recorded in Nashville with producer Jay Joyce (Orville Peck, Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson), the fifth full album from the singer, songwriter, and virtuoso guitarist marks a sonic departure from her recent work and features twelve new songs—eleven originals and one cover, of Icona Pop and Charli xcx’s “I Love It.”On her new album—a hybrid of pop, country, rock, and flat-picking, plus one murder ballad—Tuttle goes to a whole new place. Her virtuoso guitar work takes center stage on this album more than ever, and for the first time, she introduces her banjo playing into two of her recordings.“I like to be a bit of a chameleon with my music.

The Great Sounds Of That Same Old Feeling: Smooth 70s Pop – CDs with the greatest hits of the 70s Pop!

Peace…Back by Popular Demand finds Keb' Mo' covering nine classic protest and peace songs from the 1960s and early '70s, and what is immediately apparent is how well these songs translate forward into the current political milieu. This is an album where the songs themselves are the stars, and Keb' Mo' wisely takes a low-key and measured vocal approach to each of them, letting the messages take hold over light soul-jazz backings, with just enough funk in the horn charts to give the arrangements some push. It's hard to argue with the song selection, but as an interpreter, Mo' seldom makes any of these tracks his own, and behind each stands the ghostly but clear memory of the original version. Perhaps that would be unavoidable under any circumstances, because songs like John Lennon's "Imagine" and Marvin Gaye's "What's Happening Brother" are so perfectly realized in the original recordings…

AC/DC With a limitless supply of dirty riffs, snarling vocals, and timelessly catchy, anthemic choruses, AC/DC is one of the most important and most lasting forces in hard rock. Founded in the early '70s by Scottish-born brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, the Aussie band exploded onto the international stage in 1979 with the release of their multi-platinum-selling sixth album, Highway to Hell. The death of charismatic frontman Bon Scott in 1980 threatened to derail the group, but AC/DC powered through.

This 11-track set features the youngest son of legendary bluesman R.L. Burnside — the acorn didn’t fall too far from the tree. The Mississippi-based Garry Burnside (vocals/guitar) unleashes some excitement from the start with “High.” It extolls a blues quality with fiery blues notes that spill from his fingers in a tight mix of blues vinegared up in a funk stew. The Pinky Pulliam bass is heavy & the recording is thick, but neither compromises the fine performance.

Hill Country Blood is Kent Burnside’s electrifying commercial debut, carrying forward the legacy of his grandfather, R.L. Burnside, while carving out his own distinct voice in the blues world.

Italian folk/rock group Bandabardó got involved in the local scene in the early '90s, mostly playing acoustic tunes based on inspiring lyrics about positivism.

Finaz, the band was later joined by percussionist Paolino, bassist Don Bachi, guitarist Andrea Orlandini, also known as Orla, and C.C. Cantini.

Alison Goldfrapp, the creative force behind some of the most captivating music of the past two and a half decades, releases her new album "Flux", out August 15th on her recently launched record label, AG Records.

Bright as Blasphemy is the upcoming tenth studio album by the American rock band Chevelle, set to be released on August 15, 2025, through Alchemy Recordings. It marks the band's first album since 2021's NIRATIAS and their first release following their departure from Epic Records.

Wilson’s 2025 remix will be included in a 2025 edition of the expanded album. The original expanded edition was released in 2014. This expanded edition is that again with the added Wilson remix.

The first of two studio albums by the Bill Evans-Scott LaFaro-Paul Motian trio (both of which preceded their famous engagement at the Village Vanguard), this Portrait in Jazz reissue contains some wondrous interplay, particularly between pianist Evans and bassist LaFaro, on the two versions of "Autumn Leaves." Other than introducing Evans' "Peri's Scope," the music is comprised of standards, but the influential interpretations were far from routine or predictable at the time. LaFaro and Motian were nearly equal partners with the pianist in the ensembles and their versions of such tunes as "Come Rain or Come Shine," "When I Fall in Love," and "Someday My Prince Will Come" (which preceded Miles Davis' famous recording by a couple years) are full of subtle and surprising creativity. A gem.
