The eighth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Originally released in 1999, the album came at a time when the Metal’s winds were shifting: Nu-Metal had peaked, Death Metal was on the rise, and every classic band under the sun seemed to be reuniting. Testament always capable of weathering any industry storm, faced the challenge by creating one of the most brutal and relevant albums in its career.
Co-produced by the last original remaining band members at that time Chuck Billy and Eric Peterson, this is the first album featuring new artists James Murphy (Death, Obituary), Steve DiGiorgio (Death, Sadus, Autopsy) and Dave Lombardo (Slayer). Billy, Peterson and Lombardo, along with long time Testament collaborator Del James, are also given composer credits on the album.
The album was reissued 2008 with an instrumental bonus track increasing the new track total to twelve.
"The Gathering" reached #48 on the German album charts.
This is one of the most furious and inspired modern Thrash Metal albums ever and one of Testament’s best. This is a brilliant Thrash Metal album. Fans of the genre should own this album, if only because good Thrash Metal albums were a rarity back in the late 1990’s. But even if that wasn’t true, this is a quality album that deserves to be heard by anyone who has a heart for this genre!
Reissue from 2022 with a back cover, that differs in barcode and label info from the reissues in 2018 and 2020. This is supposed to be a misprint, because the catalogue number NB 4277-1 on both labels already belongs to the three versions of In Flames “Down, Wicked & No Good”. The correct catalogue number is NB 4227-1.

The debut full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Comparable to Slayer, Megadeth and Metallica, Testament is one of Thrash Metal's more accessible and best-known bands. “The Legacy” was an Underground hit and is widely considered to be the band's best album, although it did not break the band into the Rock mainstream. Testament quickly earned respect in Thrash Metal circles with its debut album, a relentlessly heavy and promising effort focusing on such subjects as the occult, witchcraft, nuclear war and global destruction. A song titled "The Legacy" was later released on the 1990 album “Souls Of Black”.

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 second full-length studio album by Portuguese Blues Rock band.
Their story begins with the natural approach of a talented singer, native of another country, with a collective of seasoned musicians already working the grounds of their home town. The passion for Blues and Old-school Rock’n’Roll was the sparkle that started all. After the success of the debut record “The Sun In The Tenth House” the band is paving the way to secure their place as one of the most promising acts on the Blues Rock scene.
"A Light In The Darkness" was recorded in January - February 2025, with sessions divided into three different studios, always looking for the best features in each one to fulfil the band’s vision. The band underwent a major line-up change, with the departure of guitarist Marco Reis and the recruitment of Ricardo Galrão to fill in the position. His distinctive style brought a new dimension to their sound, and it’s well showcased on the new recordings. "A Light In The Darkness" was produced by the band and mixed by bassist Ricardo Dikk, top-notch engineers were brought to precisely capture the full potential of the songs, and every track was recorded without the use of modern correction technology; no digital quantization, no Autotune, no extensive editing, just raw and high energy performances by the band members.
"A Light In The Darkness", is definitely a leap forward on The Bateleurs sound and aesthetics. Dive deep into this pool of sonic exploration, swamp mud filled riffs, high soaring laments of human experience, thunderous drums from the bottom of the soul, and celebrate the ever-changing, but everlasting ritual of the Blues and Rock’n’Roll…
Special guests were added to further develop the arrangements: Tiago Maia played slide guitar, Nuno Louro on Hammond Organ, João Colaço on the drums for two songs, and Ruben Monteiro (Irish Whistle) and Niklos Pavliidis (Violin) on a special bonus track available on CD only.

The eleventh full-length studio album by legendary British Pop-Rock/Beat band.
The band's last recorded album, although "Let It Be" was the last album, released before the band's dissolution in 1970.
"Abbey Road" is widely regarded as one of The Beatles' most tightly constructed albums, although the band was barely operating as a functioning unit at the time.
Despite the tensions within the band, "Abbey Road" was released to near universal acclaim and is considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time. In 2012, it was voted 14th on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". In 2009, readers of the magazine also named “Abbey Road” the greatest of The Beatles' album.
"Her Majesty" is the last track of Side 2, but not listed on the sleeve or label.

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary British Pop-Rock/Beat band.
"Rubber Soul" was successful commercially and critically, and is often cited as one of the greatest albums in music history. The album was described as a major artistic achievement, attaining widespread critical and commercial success, with reviewers taking note of The Beatles' developing musical vision.
In 2012, "Rubber Soul" was voted 5th on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".
The cover is printed on the back of a map of the Soviet Submarine Navy. Regardless whether the management of the printing plant in 1991 wanted to set a sign, the plant ran out of plain paper or simply for financial reasons, this is a contemporary witness of the collapse of the USSR. A unique artwork which differs this release from the one on plain paper!

The first proper studio recording session made under the name “The Beatles”, by legendary British Pop Rock/Beat band.
After Brian Epstein, former The Beatles manager, had meetings with both EMI and Decca at the start of December 1961, Decca A&R executive Mike Smith travelled to Liverpool to see The Beatles perform at The Cavern Club, and was impressed enough to ask Epstein to bring the band down to London for a test in Decca’s recording studios.
"The Decca Tapes" (also known as "The Decca Sessions", "The Decca Audition", "Silver Beatles" and under a lot of other different monikers) have been recorded  on January 1, 1962 at Decca Studios in West Hampstead, North London, when The Beatles auditioned for Decca Records. At the time, the standard procedure for a test of this type was to record between two and five songs and then quickly usher the artists out of the studio. However, Brian Epstein chose the repertoire of songs which contained 12 cover songs and 3 originals. The Beatles ended up recording fifteen songs, and the recording session was extended into the afternoon, broken by a lunch break. This could suggest that, if offered a deal, their first single and perhaps others would have been taken from the resulting tape. However, Dick Rowe, former CEO of Decca Records, wasn’t impressed by the quality and the song choices. About a month later, Decca famously rejected the Beatles, signed Brian Poole & The Tremeloes from London instead. The executives felt that “guitar groups are on the way out” and “The Beatles have no future in show business”.
The 1979 release of "Decca Tapes" seems to have come from a tape gifted to a third party in the 1960s by Brian Epstein. The Beatles have owned the tape since the 1980s and took legal action confirming that they owned the copyright in 1989. These recordings and the releases that contain them are thus unofficial under current copyright law.
This album comprises all fifteen songs performed by the band at the audition. These fabled tracks are presented here so fans can judge for themselves. This is a must for all Beatles enthusiasts!

The second full-length studio album by legendary British Pop Rock/Beat band.
The album was released in the United Kingdom on 22 November 1963 on Parlophone, eight months after the band's debut "Please Please Me".
Produced by George Martin, it features eight original compositions (seven by Lennon–McCartney and "Don't Bother Me", George Harrison's first recorded solo composition and his first released on a Beatles album) and six covers (mostly of Rock and Roll and Motown R&B hits).
The sessions also yielded the non-album single, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" backed by "This Boy".
The cover photograph was taken by the fashion photographer Robert Freeman and has since been mimicked by several music groups. A different cover was used for the Australian release of the album, which the Beatles were displeased with.
In the United States, the album's tracks were unevenly split over the band's first two albums released on Capitol Records, "Meet The Beatles!" and "The Beatles' Second Album". It was also released in Canada under the name "Beatlemania! With the Beatles".
The album was ranked number 420 on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" in 2003, and was included in Robert Dimery's "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" (2010). It was also voted number 275 in the third edition of English writer Colin Larkin's "All Time Top 1000 Albums" (2000). It was rated the 29th greatest album in the book Paul Gambaccini "Presents the Top 100 Albums", which canvassed a panel of experts in seven countries" to determine the greatest albums.
This stereo remastered album has been prepared using the 2009 digital remasters, which had been created from the original stereo analogue master tapes. Heavyweight 180g vinyl.

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary American Psychedelic/Blues Rock band.
The last album to feature the band's lead singer, Jim Morrison, who died three months after the album's release. It was also recorded without record producer Paul A. Rothchild after he fell out with the group over the perceived lack of quality of their studio performances. Subsequently, the band co-produced the album with long-time sound engineer Bruce Botnick.
The album saw the band continue to integrate elements of Blues back into their music, a direction begun with their previous album, "Morrison Hotel". Actually, some of the straight Blues items sound kind of turgid, but that's more than made up for by several cuts that rate among their finest and most disturbing work. The seven-minute title track was a car-cruising classic that celebrated both the glamour and seediness of Los Angeles; the other long cut, the brooding, Jazzy "Riders on the Storm", was the band's at its most melodic and ominous. It and the far bouncier "Love Her Madly" were hit singles, and "The Changeling" and "L'America" count as some of their better, little-heeded album tracks. An uneven but worthy finale from the original quartet… Three months after release, on July 3, Morrison was found dead. 
"Love Her Madly" was released as a single in March 1971, preceding the album's release, and it reached the Top 20 in the Billboard Hot 100 for a stay of 11 weeks, but failed to chart in the UK. Upon release, the album peaked at number nine on the Billboard 200, remaining on the charts for 36 weeks, and reached number 28 in the UK, spending four weeks on the UK Albums Charts. An additional Single in support of the album, "Riders On The Storm", also achieved chart success on Billboard and in the UK. 
An additional Single, "Riders On The Storm", was released in June, and reached number 14 on the Billboard chart, while managing to peak at number 22 in the UK chart.
In 2003, "L.A. Woman" was ranked at 362 on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. When the list was revised in 2012, to accommodate a number of albums released since 2003, the album was repositioned at number 364.

Re-release of the fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Psychedelic/Blues Rock band.
Following the use of brass and string arrangements recommended by producer Paul A. Rothchild on their previous album, "The Soft Parade", the band returned to their original Blues Rock style and was largely seen as a return to form for the band.
The Doors entered Elektra Sound Recorders in Los Angeles in November 1969 to record the album which is divided into two separately titled sides: "Hard Rock Cafe" and "Morrison Hotel". The band included session bassists Lonnie Mack and Ray Neapolitan on the album's songs.
The album peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, and performed better overseas than the preceding album. It was certified Gold by RIAA in February 1970. Additionally, it became the band's highest-charting studio album in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at No. 12.
Reissue on 180-gram HQ virgin vinyl housed in gatefold cover presents the original stereo mixes, artwork and a folded Elektra insert.
