The first compilation album by cult British Pop-Rock band.
With a voice that was perfect for AOR, John Waite and his band The Babys shared the airwaves with groups like Journey and Foreigner in the late '70s and early '80s. His Rock-tender vocals accompanied electric guitar and ample keyboards, resulting in some appealing yet not overly flamboyant music.
“Anthology" spans the years 1976–1980 of The Babys, and brings together ten of this band's best songs in a short but concise Greatest Hits collection. All three of their charted songs are here, including "Isn't It Time" and "Every Time I Think of You", which both peaked at number 13 in 1977 and the latter again two years afterwards. "Back on My Feet Again" also broke the Top 40, hitting number 33 for three weeks in 1980. Each of their five albums are represented on this hits package, and the inclusion of Jonathan Cain on keyboards for 1980s "Back on My Feet Again" greatly enhanced their music, adding some texture and dimension. The song "Money" had not appeared on any The Babys album.
Cain, who replaced Mike Corby and bass player Rick Phillips, went on to play with San Francisco's Journey, where his keyboard artistry was better utilized. Although the songs are simply arranged and the lyrics are plain, there is still some music worth hearing among this set, such as the previously unreleased "Money" and the honest sounding "If You've Got the Time." "Turn and Walk Away" has some smooth background singing from Anne Marie Leclerc, and "Head First" is a catchy tune with Waite showing off his clean voice.
Even though John Waite had greater success as a solo artist, hitting number one with "Missing You" in 1984, his work with The Babys showcases his talents within a band atmosphere.
The album charted at number 138 on the Billboard 200.

The fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Pop Rock/Soul singer.
In 1984, a 45-year-old Tina Turner made one of the most amazing comebacks in the history of American Popular music. A few years earlier, it was hard to imagine the veteran Soul/Rock belter reinventing herself and returning to the top of the Pop charts.
After several challenging years of going solo after divorcing Ike Turner, "Private Dancer" propelled Turner into becoming a viable solo star, as well as one of the most marketable crossover singers in the recording industry.
A reflection on the emptiness of a stripper's life, the dusky title song is as poignant as it is depressing. Without question, this was Turner's finest hour as a solo artist.
"Private Dancer" became a worldwide commercial success, earning multi-platinum certifications, and remains her best-selling album in North America to date. In 1989, the album was ranked number 46 on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of "The 100 Greatest Albums of the '80s". In 2001, VH1 named "Private Dancer" the 95th greatest album of all time. Slant Magazine listed the album at number 63 on its list of "Best Albums of the 1980s". In 2020, the album was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

The debut full-length studio album by legendary American Funk/Soul singer.
Released while Turner was still a member of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, the album was an attempt by her husband, Ike Turner, to expose her to a wider audience. Although the album did not chart, it earned Turner a nomination in the "Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female" category at the 17th Annual Grammy Awards.
Fine mix of Country, Folky and Soft Rock tunes done in Tina's inimitable style. On this effort, she flexes her voice from its softest to its usual rough tone and moulds it perfectly around each cut. Drawing from a wide range of composers from Dylan to Dolly Parton to Kris Kristofferson to Hank Snow, ms. Turner should gain easy Soul and Pop play and possibly some Country play. Surprisingly effective are the slow cuts, and Tina proves just as adept an interpreter of other's material as she is a singer of original songs.
"Tina Turns The Country On!" remains unreleased on CD.

The fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Heavy Metal/Hard Rock band.
After the commercial disappointment of "Come Out And Play" it was to be a two year gap before Twisted Sister would release their fifth studio album. AJ Pero had vacated the drum stool to be replaced by Joey "Seven" Franco but the nucleus of Twisted Sister was still together and looking back on this album, it was panned by the music press and manage to receive even worse reviews than "Come Out And Play", it should now be considered an undiscovered gem amongst band's fans worldwide.
Album was strongly influenced by Hair Metal bands, although the band split after its release and had a lot of conflicts with this record which led to a split. The album was originally supposed to be a Dee Snider solo record but the record company demanded it be recorded and released as Twisted Sister. "Love Is For Suckers" was released by Atlantic Records on August 13, 1987. The tour for the album ended in Minneapolis, Minnesota on October 10, 1987. Two days later, on October 12, 1987, vocalist Dee Snider announced his departure from the band.
The Twisted Sister sound and image had also changed from the bestial, back street brawling racket of "Stay Hungry", "You Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll" and the excellent "Under The Blade". Perhaps this was more to do with America's white middle class trying to stop the likes of Twisted Sister denigrating the masses with their perverted and unsolicited music or the bands new found financial happiness but for whatever reason Twisted Sister had lost something and "Love Is For Suckers" was to be the bands final studio release.
This would be Twisted Sister's final studio album, as all albums since have been compilations or live albums (with the exception of 2004's "Still Hungry" which was a rerecording of 1984's "Stay Hungry" and "A Twisted Christmas" in 2006).
Dee Snider has stated that he likes many of the songs on the album, vocally. However he feels that if they play any of them live, it may bring back bad memories for the band. No songs from this album appeared on the band's 1992 greatest hits album "Big Hits And Nasty Cuts".
There have been conflicting reports over the years as to exactly what the recording line-up for the album was. Jay Jay French, Eddie Ojeda and Mark "The Animal" Mendoza are all credited in their normal roles but some or all of the guitars and bass were recorded by credited guest musician Reb Beach.
Looking back now "Love Is For Suckers", whilst not reaching quite up to the bands early rabble rousing, street fighting, brash and over the top standards of early releases still makes a great noise! Sounding more aggressive and eager to amend previous misdemeanors, Snider and Co. deliver an album containing more than a few stand out, trade mark Twisted Sister anthems.
So, here we have a lost classic and one of the best and most overlooked Rock albums of the late 80's!!

The fourth full-length studio album by legendary British Heavy Metal band.
"The Cage" marked a move in a more commercial direction, selling over 200 000 copies and giving birth to two top 50 songs in the UK, namely the covers of Leiber & Stoller's song "Love Potion No. 9", performed by The Clovers, and the lesser-known RPM song "Rendezvous". Another Single, charted at 63, was the Steve Thompson song "Paris by Air".
It was shortly after producing this album that the band split for the first time, due to tensions with their record company. Robb Weir and Brian Dick then formed the band Sergeant.
