The sixth full-length studio album by legendary British Hard Rock band.
American version by Geffen Records, completely remixed by Keith Olsen.
Originally released on 30 January 1984 in Europe, by Liberty/EMI, the album was remixed for the American market, later issued on 16 April 1984 in North America by Geffen. In Japan, it was issued a "European" Mix release date on 23 March 1984, and an "American" remix on 21 December 1984 by CBS/Sony. Widely regarded as a moderate success, it helped the American market to open up for the band's sound and breakthrough throughout the later 1980s.
Two different editions of the album exist, each with its own unique qualities. The original "European" mix was criticized as "flat" sounding, while the "American" remixed version compromises a more modern approach, giving Whitesnake the "voice" that it wanted. The remix ultimately marked a change in the band's sound, closer to the American Glam Metal Rock scene.
This version features some different guitar solos to the European edition, with the addition of John Sykes as a third guitarist layered on top of the original guitar parts recorded by Mel Galley and Micky Moody. The original bass guitar parts recorded by Colin Hodgkinson were completely replaced by returning member Neil Murray's bass guitar parts on this version and it also includes some new keyboard parts by Bill Cuomo, differing from the original recording.
It was their fourth top 10 album in the UK, peaking at number 9. In 1988 the album re-entered the US charts due to the success of the self-titled “Whitesnake” album (1987 in Europe), and is certified double Platinum. It was the final Whitesnake recording to use the band's original "snake" logo.

The debut full-length studio album by legendary British Hard Rock band.
"Trouble" was the album, that setting the template for virtually all the band's ensuing career, pre-1987 American sell-out. This followed the 4-track EP "Snakebite", later available in the US as an import album from continental Europe.
"Trouble" was a band made up of seasoned veterans, after all, and they knew exactly what it was they wanted: edgy Hard Rock based on R&B. They also knew who was boss: Coverdale, who after enduring a minority stake in the mighty Deep Purple, was now clearly established as top dog and de facto leader of the new outfit. And what a slick, powerful outfit it was, too, with guitarists Marsden and Micky Moody compensating whatever visual shortcomings they may have had with their rock-solid six-string partnership, and former Deep Purple organist Jon Lord (for the first time in Whitesnake line-up) holding it all together in the back.
"Trouble" turned out to be the first step in a long, and very successful career. The album reached No. 50 on the UK Albums Chart when it was released in October 1978.

The second full-length studio album by German Rock band.
Cologne dialect for "thawed", "Affjetaut" was released in 1980 and reached number eleven on the German album charts.
All the songs on the album were written by singer Wolfgang Niedecken and guitarist and songwriter Klaus "Major" Heuser, who joined BAP in 1980 and took over the band's musical direction. His Rock-oriented influence is clearly evident here for the first time. Shortly before production began in October 1980, there had been many personnel changes in the band, which also influenced the album's style. Guest musicians included were Matthias Keul on keyboards and harmonica on "Vun mir uss Kitsch" and Büdi Siebert played saxophone. While the first album was produced in Cologne, "Affjetaut" was recorded at Sunrise Studios in Kirchberg, St. Gallen, Switzerland.
The release includes a huge A1 poster with photos and lyrics in Cologne dialect and standard German.

The fourth split release of two Thrash Metal bands - Xanadoo from Singapore and Fastkill from Japan.
"Thrashing In The East" presents two Asian Thrash Metal bands on one CD, coming together to provide 8 tracks of good, Thrashing fun. 

Xanadoo is fast Thrash Metal with traces of Crossover. Band‘s 2010 debut full-length album "Black. Death. Grind. Shit!" contained re-recorded versions of the tracks that were on the band’s previous 2 demos, "Blood Is Dirt" and "This Demo Is Shit", and while the quality of the re-recorded versions were certainly awesome as f**k, the fact that it contained only 1 new track ("Subterranean Hemorrhoid Blues") left fans craving for even more new material. "Thrashing In The East" is then that long-awaited antidote, with Xanadoo finally releasing 4 (well, technically 3) brand new tracks along with their Japanese compatriots Fastkill!
Includes an Abigail cover!

Fastkill is brutal fast Thrash the way it’s meant to be! As though the dosage of speed by Xanadoo weren’t enough, Fastkill begins their onslaught with a rough mix of "Stench Of Hell", off their recent full-length album, "Bestial Thrashing Bulldozer". The raw sound of this rough mix helps to bring out that high energy and intensity that is in the band’s playing, and is definitely a nice touch to the already devastating final version of the track. Toshio’s characteristic screechy vocals are still instantly recognizable, and so is the breakneck speed that Fastkill tends to indulge themselves in.
Sick Tankard cover includes!

Thrashing in the East is one hell of an exciting and enjoyable release, and while it is business as usual for speed maniacs Fastkill, the fresh tracks of Xanadoo definitely made this a noteworthy release as well! The craving is more than satisfied for now!!

The eighth full-length studio album by legendary American Soft Metal band.
It is the first Y&T studio album to feature a different line-up since their debut album, with Jimmy DeGrasso replacing Leonard Haze on drums after he left the band in 1986.
The band used outside co-writers on many songs for the album. Taylor Rhodes has written hits for Aerosmith and Celine Dion and produced and wrote on an album by Glam Metal band Kix, the song "Temptation" is credited to Kennemore along with Megadeth and Savatage guitarist Al Pitrelli and Danger Danger bass player Bruno Ravel, while Robert White Johnson who cowrote "Eyes of A Stranger" with Rhodes also wrote songs for Celine Dion and Doro among many others.
30 000 albums were pressed with the track titled "Boys Night Out" instead of "L.A. Rocks." This was due to the song title chosen for that song that came from Jesse Harms (Sammy Hagar's keyboardist at the time), who was working with Dave Meneketti at the time, but when Geffen released a Sammy Hagar album using the actual song written by Harms, "Boys Night Out" Y&T was forced to change the title on the insistence of David Geffen.
The album peaked at #78 on the Billboard 200.

This song had initially appeared as the only studio track on the band's live album, "Open Fire", released earlier in the year.

The album also introducing a new studio song, "Summertime Girls".

The Keystone songs, "Go For the Throat" and "Open Fire", were recorded by Guy Charbonneau in Le Mobile, a mobile recording studio. All the live tracks were remixed at A&M Studios. The song "Summertime Girls" is a studio recording, produced and engineered separately by Kevin Beamish at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys.
"Open Fire" spent 17 weeks on the Billboard 200, peaking at Number 70. "Summertime Girls" Single became the band's biggest hit, peaking at Number 16 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart. The song also appeared on the band's next proper studio album, "Down For The Count", which was released in November 1985.

The ninth full-length studio album by legendary American Blues/New Wave/Synth-Rock/Hard Rock band.
"Afterburner" is a follow-up to their blockbuster "Eliminator". No matter how much you dress ZZ Top up, they're still ZZ Top. Sometimes they can trick you into thinking they're a little flashier than usual, but they're still a Blues band from Texas, kicking out Blues Rockers. And Blues Rock just doesn't kick when it's synthesized, even if ZZ Top's grooves always bordered on robotic. So, "Afterburner", their most synthetic album, will not please most ZZ Top fans, even if it did go Platinum several times over and reached number four. That's all just a sign of the times, when even Hard Rock bands had to sound as slick as Synth Pop, complete with clanging DX-7s and cavernous drums.
As an artifact of that time, "Afterburner" is pretty good. All this means that "Afterburner" is merely a product of its time - the only record ZZ Top could have made at the time.
Although critics' response to the album was lukewarm, "Afterburner" was a commercial success, eventually going Platinum five times and launching one hit Single, "Sleeping Bag", which peaked at No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks and at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, equalling the peak of their previous Single, "Legs". The album yielded three other Top 40 Singles in the United States: "Stages" (no. 21), "Rough Boy" (no. 22), and "Velcro Fly" (no. 35).
The album was the band's first to hit number 1, topping the charts in New Zealand. It peaked at number 4 on the Billboard 200, at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart, and at number 6 on the Australian albums chart. In the UK, it was the band's second album to be certified by the British Phonographic Industry, attaining Gold (100 000 units) in 1985. In 1990, it was certified Platinum (300 000 units).

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary American Blues/Boogie/Hard Rock band.
The first ZZ Top release on Warner Bros. Records and eventually went Platinum.
Returning from a two-year hiatus, the band began to showcase the influence they have collected during the time away; Gibbons' time in Europe introduced him to Punk music, the influences of which seeped into the creation of the album. The band also consciously tried experimenting with technology: Gibbons saw an episode of The Phil Donahue Show where a person's identity was protected using silhouette and a pitch shifter; liking the sound, he asked engineer Manning to call the show and find out what the effects unit was. Manning eventually convinced a reluctant show producer to reveal it, and the effect was used for both vocals and guitars on songs like "Manic Mechanic".
The album also marked the first time that ZZ Top featured cover versions on a studio album: "I Thank You" by Isaac Hayes/David Porter and "Dust My Broom", credited on early editions to Elmore James but subsequently credited to Robert Johnson, who recorded it in 1936. Elmore James had adapted and popularized the song in 1951.
