ВІНІЛОВІ ПЛАТІВКИ

The seventh full-length studio album by legendary American Pop Rock/Soul singer.
It was Turner's third album release after her massively successful comeback five years earlier with "Private Dancer" and her third and last album with the label.  Dan Hartman produced most of the tracks on the album, including the hit single "The Best", which has gone on to become one of Turner's signature songs. The album features collaborations with prominent musicians, including saxophone solos by Gary Barnacle on at least three tracks and guitar work by Dire Straits' frontman Mark Knopfler, who co-wrote Turner's hit "Private Dancer", on the title track.
Although the album was not a major success in Turner's native United States, it was a huge international hit, especially in Europe. The album sold over six million copies worldwide. In the UK alone, it sold over 1.5 million copies, entering the UK Albums Chart at number one (Turner's first album to do so there) and staying in the Top 100 for a year and a half. The album also reached number one in numerous other countries, including Germany and Sweden, and topped the overall European Chart for four weeks.

The first re-release of 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 first re-release of the first official compilation album by legendary American Pop Rock/Soul singer.
The album includes Turner's most popular hits since her comeback in the early-mid 1980s. It also includes three new, previously unreleased, songs: "Love Thing" (UK Airplay No. 13), "I Want You Near Me" (No. 22 UK), and "Way of the World" (UK Airplay No. 6 and UK No. 13), as well as a re-recorded dance version of Turner's classic "Nutbush City Limits", all of which were also issued as Singles in 1991 and 1992.
Everything else here is either top-notch or campy, certifiable fun. A duet with Rod Stewart on "It Takes Two" supplies the fun. The two other new tracks tacked to the end beat out most of the album cuts the collection passes on, plus you get the bombastic "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)" without having to buy a dull soundtrack. The oldest cut by years is the monolithic "River Deep-Mountain High," which is a bona fide classic.
The album is Turner's biggest seller in the UK, where it sold 2.1 million copies. It was certified 8× Platinum in the UK and stayed on the UK charts for over 140 weeks. The album sold over 7 million copies worldwide.

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 seventh full-length studio album by cult Czech Death Metal band.
Two years after their last creation, Czech Death Metal icon is back with the "Beneath". Tortharry is active on the Czech Metal scene since 1991, when the band transformed itself from its initial formation named Executor, and began its Death Metal crusade with its first demo "Mezi Nebem A Peklem" ("Between Heaven And Hell"). Over the years, Tortharry amassed an extensive discography and contribute to various Metal compilations, including “Tribute To Death”. The band also have an impressive list of live shows, with symbolic peaks being twin concerts in 1998 in the Czech Republic as a support of the genre icon Death, and a South American tour with Gorgoroth and Belphegor in September 2007.
Sharp guitar riffs, unearthly fast drums and the right Death growl build in the space of nine tracks a monumental acoustic “wall of
death”, which then underscores the dreary, even nihilistic, lyrics of individual songs; a parable of motifs, which are not, or should not be, obvious at the first glance. Hidden thoughts, desires, guilt or crimes, plainly all which is concealed beneath the surface of the apparent, are the thematic cornerstone of this album, as its name itself hints. In short: “I want to bite you until you bleed!”
The release includes Bonus Track “Krvavá Práce”, a cover version of the song by a Czech Metal legend, Debustrol, which is not available on the CD version of the album.

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.
