The third full-length studio solo album by legendary Swedish singer Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Frida), one of the founding members of the Swedish Pop group ABBA.
Recorded in early 1982 during the final months of ABBA, the album was released on 10 September of that same year. It's a Frida's first album recorded entirely in English. Her previous two albums had been recorded in Swedish.
Produced by Phil Collins with Hugh Padgham, the album featured a harder-edged and more Rock-oriented sound than the music she had previously recorded with ABBA, and it included Collins' distinctive gated reverb drum sound.
The album was met with a positive reception by both critics and the public, with sales in excess of 1,5 million copies, making it the best-selling solo record of the ABBA member to date.

The seventh full-length solo studio album by legendary British guitarist and singer.
Moore's last Hard rock album before he became a born-again Bluesman, "After The War" continues in the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal guitar riffing of previous efforts, while continuing to explore more conventional Pop dynamics with mixed results, but like its predecessor, "Wild Frontier", the album contains elements of Celtic music. It works great on "Ready to Love," and, after dedicating his previous album to fallen childhood friend and musical partner, Phil Lynott, Moore finally honors him in song with the moving "Blood Of Emeralds."
On "Led Clones", Ozzy Osbourne, with whom Moore had worked before the singer united with Randy Rhoads, shares lead vocals. The song pokes fun at bands such as Kingdom Come which were popular at the time, and is based on a Led Zeppelin-type sound and image. "That song was great fun", - Ozzy recalled, - "and it was an honour to record with Gary". The Sisters Of Mercy frontman, Andrew Eldritch, provides backing vocals on the songs "After the War", "Speak for Yourself" and "Blood of Emeralds". The instrumental "Dunluce" is named after Dunluce Castle in Northern Ireland. Although Cozy Powell played drums on the album, he was replaced by Chris Slade for the tour, as he was set to tour with Black Sabbath, in support of the album, "Headless Cross", on which he also played drums.
"After The War" was Moore's last foray into conventional Hard Rock, and his last Rock album of any kind until "Dark Days In Paradise" in 1997. Starting with his next album, "Still Got The Blues", he primarily played Blues.

The second full-length solo studio album by legendary British guitarist and singer.
This is the first of Irish guitar virtuoso true Hard Rock albums. Boasting a crisp, aggressive sound, "Corridors Of Power" kicks off with the foot-stomping "Don't Take Me for a Loser", delivers the token power ballad in "Always Gonna Love You", and floors the gas pedal on "Rockin' Every Night". However, the album's climax has to be the epic "End of the World" with it's two-minute long guitar solo intro and vocals courtesy of Cream's Jack Bruce, sharing lead vocals with Moore.  This was the only Gary Moore's Rock single played on American radio. Moore would later join with Bruce again on the Bruce-Baker-Moore project in 1993.
The album also features then-former Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice, ex-Whitesnake bassist Neil Murray and former Uriah Heep singer John Sloman on backing vocals, with contributions from keyboardists Tommy Eyre and Don Airey, drummer Bobby Chouinard and bassist Mo Foster.
The album also contains a cover of the Free song "Wishing Well".  A far Bluesier version of the "Love Can Make a Fool of You" song also showed up on the posthumous Gary Moore album, "How Blue Can You Get". As a nod to "Corridors Of Power", American guitarist Jeff Kollman named his 2012 solo album "Silence In The Corridor", the title track of which is a tribute to Moore.
This is the Gary Moore album to start with if you're new to or exploring Gary's career. All the Jazz and Blues and Rock influences of his life, and of his past works, all come together here for his 'classic' Hard Rock sound. Anyone who wants to learn how to play Rock guitar, this is one of those albums that you need to play again, and again... and again!

The third full-length solo studio album by legendary British guitarist and singer.
"Dirty Fingers" album was originally recorded in 1980, but was ultimately shelved in favour of the more radio-oriented "G-Force" (1980) – the only studio album by the namesake Irish-American band led by Gary Moore. Three of the tracks from "Dirty Fingers" ("Nuclear Attack", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and "Run to Your Mama") were firstly released as an "Nuclear Attack" EP in UK and Japan in 1981. The album "Dirty Fingers" was eventually released in Japan in 1983 by Jet Records, before an international release in the UK in June 1984.
"Dirty Fingers" are generally characterized by a raw, uncompromising Hard Rock aesthetic. As such, tough, virile rockers invariably slathered in frenetic six-string fretwork abound ("Hiroshima", "Kidnapped", "Lonely Night") but, with the exception of the unapologetically nasty "Run to Your Mama", these tend to fall well short of the material heard on 1978's "Back On The Streets" and its "official" successor, "Corridors Of Power", four years later. But there is at least one other career highlight to be found on "Dirty Fingers", and that's the bombastic "Nuclear Attack" (yet another of Moore's apocalyptic warnings), which, amid massive riffs that keep it Rocking like a motherf**ker, unveils a simple but effective counterpoint synthesizer theme that one could very well assume inspired Europe to write "The Final Countdown". Also know that most of the above find Moore sharing lead vocals with former Ted Nugent singer Charlie Huhn for the first and final time, and you'll have all you need to know about "Dirty Fingers" – an interesting but not essential Gary Moore album.

The fifth full-length solo studio album by legendary British guitarist and singer.
Top-notch Hard Rock album with non-oafish sound – complex and somewhat Proggy with synths, advanced solos and even soulful R'n'B snippets, "Run For Cover" took the Hard Rock ingredients of Gary Moore's previous two albums and added a little pop refinement to the mix. Thankfully, this did not compromise the overall heaviness of the record. Considered as Moore's breakthrough, the album includes the top 5 single "Out in the Fields" and a re-recording of the song "Empty Rooms", originally from Moore's previous album, "Victims Of The Future", which became one of Moore's biggest solo successes, reaching No. 23 on the UK charts.
The album features many of Moore's musical friends, including Paul Thompson of Roxy Music, Deep Purple bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes on "Reach for the Sky" and "All Messed Up", and former Thin Lizzy leader and childhood friend Phil Lynott . Lynott and Moore trade lead vocals on "Out in the Fields", while Lynott sings alone on "Military Man", an old Grand Slam track. "Out in the Fields" is about the the religious turmoil in their native Ireland, it was actually Lynott's final recorded performance before his tragic death. It also presaged the musical and lyrical Irish themes which would dominate Moore's future work. Lynott also provided vocals for a re-recording of the Thin Lizzy classic "Still in Love with You", on which Moore originally played guitar; the track was initially issued as a B-side of "Out In The Fields", but is included on later remastered versions of the album.
Performance-wise, 'Run for Cover' might be Gary Moore's most well-rounded album. It has magnificant flow and never feels disjointed even with three lead vocalists. Of course, the guitar playing is absolutely stellar, but never at the expense of songwriting. Along with "Corridors Of Power" and "Victims Of The Future", "Run For Cover" represents the best in Moore's often over-looked Hard Rock period.

The eighth full-length solo studio album by legendary British guitarist and singer.
The album marked a substantial change in style for Moore, who had been predominantly known for Rock and Hard Rock music with Skid Row, Thin Lizzy, G-Force and Greg Lake, and during his own extensive solo career, as well as his Jazz/Fusion work with Colosseum II. "Still Got The Blues" saw him delve into an Electric Blues style. The album features guest contributions from Albert King, Albert Collins and George Harrison.
The title track was released as a Single and reached No. 97 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 16 February 1991. It is the only Single of Moore's to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. The album reached No. 83 on the Billboard 200 on 16 February 1991, then was certified Gold by the RIAA in November 1995. This was Moore's most successful album both in terms of sales and chart position in the US.

The sixth full-length solo studio album by legendary British guitarist and singer.
His first studio effort after a 1985 trip back to his native Belfast, Northern Ireland, the album contains several songs about Ireland. The album is dedicated to the memory of Moore's close friend and former Thin Lizzy bandmate Phil Lynott, who died on 4 January 1986, with the words "For Philip" on the rear cover.
"Wild Frontier" contains the hit Single "Over the Hills and Far Away", which reached No. 20 in the UK, as well as a cover of the Easybeats' song "Friday on My Mind". The Max Middleton-penned "The Loner" was originally recorded by Cozy Powell for his "Over The Top" album in 1979 (on which Moore performed, albeit not on Powell's recording of "The Loner"). The track was substantially altered by Moore for his own recording, thus he is credited as a co-writer. The song "Crying in the Shadows", which was released as the B-side of the "Over the Hills and Far Away" Single in December 1986 and appears as a bonus track on the CD version of "Wild Frontier", was also recorded by Japanese singer Minako Honda, titled "The Cross (Ai No Jujika)", with Moore on guitar. Gary Moore was joined by The Chieftains on select tracks from this album.
This is a superb Rock guitar album with solid songwriting and some superb classics like “The Loner”. It would be worth buying just for that one track, but you get a lot more!

The debut full-length studio album by cult Swedish Heavy Metal/Rock band.
Standing motionless and anonymous beneath the painted faces, hoods, and robes (which their sect demand), the six nameless ghouls of Ghost deliver litanies of sexually pulsating Heavy Rock music and romantic lyrics, which glorify and glamorize the disgusting and sacrilegious. The simple intention to communicate a message of pure evil via the most effective device they can find: Entertainment.  This is Black Metal at its most original and deceiving; compositions such as “Ritual” and “Death Knell” majestically weave their melodic spell of evil through the senses until the listener finds themselves utterly possessed and open to any diabolical suggestion.
A daringly beautiful combination of Satanic Rock music with an almost unthinkable Pop sensibility, "Opus Eponymous" is where it all began for this beautifully dark global phenomenon!
"Opus Eponymous" entered the Sverigetopplistan Albums Top 60 chart at No. 59, staying on the charts for 5 weeks and peaking at No. 50. The album was nominated for the 2011 Grammis Award (the Swedish equivalent to the Grammy Awards) in the "Best Hard Rock" category. In the June 2011 edition of Sweden Rock Magazine named it the third-best album in the past decade, with the first two being "The Final Frontier" and "A Matter of Life And Death" by Iron Maiden. The album's cover was declared the fourth best of 2010 by Revolver Magazine. Noisecreep listed Ghost's version of "Here Comes The Sun" at number six on their list of the 10 Best Metal Cover Songs. In their roundup of the 25 Best Metal Albums of 2010–2019, the music blog MetalSucks declared "Opus Eponymous" to be the 5th best Metal album of the 2010s. In 2015, PopMatters called "Opus Eponymous" a 21st-century classic.

The fourth full-length studio album by legendary British Hard Rock band.
This album belongs on the list "Top 100 Albums With the Most Ugly Covers", but let that not put you off: this one is almost as good as "Mr. Universe" and "Glory Road".
The title is taken from Alvin Toffler's book "Future Shock". There are a handful of classics, mixed with some mediocre fillers - but a Hard Rock fan should have this album, even if it was just for the 3 minutes of "The Ballad of the Lucitania Express", which is The Perfect Heavy Fast Rock song. This song steams like the overheated locomotive that it is about, is not a second too long and has everything perfectly in place. The real engine is John McCoy's bass, clearly audible under the brief guitar solo, pumping 8th notes at over 200 BPM. This band can inject you with pure adrenaline and crack you up at the same time!
On its release, the album reached number 2 in the UK chart; that remain the band's highest placing album.
In 2005, "Future Shock" was ranked number 467 in the German Rock Hard Magazine's book of "The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time".

The third re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary British Heavy Metal band.
"Hit And Run", didn't have as many standout cuts as their debut, but it lost little in the way of intensity and raw aggression. Like its predecessor, "Demolition" (1980), it was recorded at Jackson's Studios, England. The band were in the studio from December 1980 to January 1981 with Vic Maile again serving as producer.

"Hit And Run" is the most successful Girlschool album, having reached No. 5 in the UK Albums Chart, with the Single of the title track climbing to No. 32 in the UK Singles Chart. The band appeared on the BBC show Top of the Pops on April 16, 1981, miming to the hit song.
The 7-inch single had "Tonight" as B-side, with the 10-inch adding the cover version of the famous ZZ Top song "Tush". Lead track "C'mon Let's Go" was featured in the Gemini Award-winning 2005 documentary film "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey".
In 2005, "Hit And Run" was ranked number 289 in Rock Hard Magazine's book "The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time".

First re-release of the third full-length studio album by legendary British Heavy Metal band.
Girlschool take their place in British Rock history by being, without doubt, the most successful all female Hard Rock band - a fact witnessed by the band being the constant yardstick to which all other girl bands have been measured up to. Like their eager mentors and frequent partners Motörhead, Girlschool had parlayed the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal’s brief heyday from 1979-1981 into numerous magazine covers, sold-out tours, and a string of hit albums and singles. But change was in store for all, come 1982. The success began to decline for both bands, along with other NWOBHM bands...
The album didn’t live up to the high expectations of the first two albums, but were reasonably successful. It featured one line-up change in bassist Ghislaine 'Gil' Weston, formerly of The Killjoys, replacing the recently departed founding member Enid Williams. The album includes hits "Don't Call It Love" and "Wildlife". The album still got them out on their first Japan tour and gave them support slots on both, the Rainbow tour and the Mercyful Fate tour - a tour that could have been the end for the band, when at the band’s last Danish show in Copenhagen, Kim was severely electrocuted from her microphone and came close to being killed. King Diamond endeavored to secure promotion from this by saying he was sorry for summoning the demon that did it ㋡.
"Screaming Blue Murder” is proof alone that Girlschool weren’t just four pretty bimbos, who decided to take up instruments. They could play them, and very well indeed! Each song is a true Metal tune, and each contains something of the basic elements to be a true Metal song. The album is fierce and fun, and full of high energy - everything a Metal album should be. If you’re looking for kick-ass women creating kick-ass Metal - this is an album you need to check out!!

For the first time on vinyl, the first mini-album by legendary German Heavy/Speed Metal band.
The beginnings of Grave Digger date back to 1980. In 1983, they released their debut album “Heavy Metal Breakdown”, and the second album, “Witch Hunter”, in 1985. Festival appearances, a tour as the supporting act for Helloween, and a triple headlining tour with Celtic Frost and Helloween followed before the release of the third album “War Games” in January 1986, all on Noise Records. Then Uwe Lulis on guitar joined in 1987 and the band's name was changed to Digger, under which they released the album “Stronger Than Ever”. This album had anything in common with the earlier music of Grave Digger, and it was not accepted by fans. As a result, Chris Boltendahl declared the break-up of the band at the end of 1987…
…However, the band partially reformed in 1991. Chris Boltendahl and Uwe Lulis, along with two newcomers, Tomi Göttlich and Jörg Michael (Rage, later Running Wild, Stratovarius), released a comeback record, “The Reaper”, returning to the true Heavy Metal roots of Grave Digger. While most fans look to The Reaper as the archetypical return to form release, that wasn't necessarily the case regarding Grave Digger. While it conclusively swept the infamous Digger debacle under the rug, it actually consisted largely of past material previously composed for the "Hawaii Demo Bottles And Four Coconuts." The form had already been returned to some years earlier, it just took the band several years to effectively regroup. Through "The Reaper", the band exorcized the few demons that remained, and effectively wiped the slate clean to usher in a new, grand period. To Grave Digger's credit, a bevy of quality material still remained locked in "The Reaper"'s vault, and they amalgamated the remaining past cuts with the first throes of the modern Grave Digger formula we are familiar with today to bring us "Symphony of Death". “Symphony Of Death” followed in 1994, with the same line-up of “The Reaper”. As per it's place in the timeline, this obscure MLP bridges the incendiary Speed Metal architecture of "The Reaper" with the Epic, forward-thinking songwriting present on "Heart Of Darkness". Grave Digger's line-up around this period is certainly one to envy, as Michael is far and away the best technician on the kit that they have ever boasted amongst their nefarious ranks. Even without Becker, these guys have no problem shifting between riff-driven fist pounders to darker, more atmospheric romps that came to define the band proper.
This is one of the greatest MLPs ever. Fast, catchy, powerful, everything you'd want in German Speed Metal. Check it out for sure, if you're a fan of the genre, and if you're just getting into Grave Digger - this is the best place to start! Amazing piece of music, kindly licensed by Sony Music, available for the very first time on vinyl!
