2003 reissue LP on 180-gram vinyl. Don't mess with a good thing-and AC/DC doesn't. The band released this 5-song EP of early recordings from 1974-76 with their late lead singer Bon Scott in 1984. This reissue was waxed in 2003. Four of the cuts are original songs, and they kick in a cover of blues legend Big Joe Williams' "Baby, Please Don't Go" for good measure. This recording was made at the Albert Studios of Sydney, Australia. Bon is singing lead with Phil Rudd, Malcolm and Angus Young backing in full fury. Produced by Harry Vanda, this reissue comes with replicated original artwork on the cover and a new sleeve featuring liner notes and photos. Cut into 180-gram vinyl, audiophiles will prefer the sound quality here over the original pressing!

2003 reissue on 180-gram vinyl LP. Hardcore fans will love this oft overlooked 1983 album that found AC/DC in midst of a major transition. Still adjusting to the loss of Bon Scott and the addition of new singer Brian Johnson, AC/DC sought a return to the harder edge sound of their early days. Ditching producer Mutt Lange, they decided to produce the album on their own. Although "Flick of the Switch" didn't generate the hits of earlier albums (or later ones), it still rose to #15 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. The big songs on this album are the title track, "Guns for Hire" and "Nervous Shakedown." Originally recorded at the Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas, this 2003 reissue has been remastered and released on superior sounding 180-gram vinyl.

Ignited the punk-rock movement with their eponymous 1976 debut album, revitalizing rock and roll at one of its lowest ebbs with attitude, energy and a loud, fast new sound. By cutting music down to its bare essentials – four chords; a simple, catchy melody; a sped up tempo and irresistibly inane lyrics, the Ramones blazed the trail for thousands of bands that followed, influencing everyone from The Clash and The Sex Pistols to Green Day and The Offspring. Although The Ramones never achieved mainstream financial success, they released 21 live and studio albums, had a devoted fan base and were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.

SAXON PROUDLY DISPLAY THEIR "INSPIRATIONS" WITH NEW CLASSIC COVERS RELEASE British Heavy Metal legends Saxon will deliver a full-roar-fun-down set of covers in 2021 (Silver Lining Music), with their latest album Inspirations, which drops a brand new 11 track release featuring some of the superb classic rock songs that influenced Biff Byford & the band. From the crunching take on The Rolling Stones' 'Paint It Black' and the super-charged melodic romp of The Beatles' 'Paperback Writer' to their freeway mad take on Jimi Hendrix's 'Stone Free', Saxon show their love and appreciation with a series of faithful, raw and ready tributes. Recorded at Brockfield Hall near York, UK, with a firm eye on the old school way using Marshall cabs, Marshall amps and real drums, Saxon approach the likes of Motorhead's 'Bomber' (with added whistle!), AC/DC's 'Problem Child', Black Sabbath's 'Evil Woman' and a raucous Deep Purple's 'Speed King' with refreshingly warm, unfiltered, "vintage" sounding renditions. Byford takes on some new vocal challenges, which he duly smashes on the likes of Thin Lizzy's 'The Rocker'. Saxon do a supreme job of entertaining both themselves and their audience throughout Inspirations. For even more proof of the validity behind that statement, wrap your ears around their sparkling take on Toto's 'Hold The Line' and consider Saxon's Inspirations a mission accomplished.

Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is the title poem of the book and the first poem I wrote of many. Some of which came to me in their entirety, which I dictated and then typed out, and some that I worked laboriously picking apart each word to make the perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and not trying to be anything other than what they are and for that reason I’m proud of them, especially because the spirit in which they were written was very authentic. — Lana Del Rey….The recording includes 14 poems performed by Lana Del Rey accompanied by music from Grammy Award-Winning songwriter/producer Jack Antonoff.

Arriving mere months after their initial assault, The Runaways crank up the intensity on their dominant second album, painting stark pictures of teenage rebellion across a stunning set of originals. This final album featuring original vocalist Cherie Currie, Queens Of Noise displays advances in The Runaways' songwriting and playing while keeping their take-no-prisoners attitude totally intact. Released in January 1977, Queens Of Noise finds The Runaways out to prove they were not some novelty act, but a genuine rock and roll animal. The album kicks off with the title track, written by Billy Bizeau (keyboardist for the Quick, another band associated with Kim Fowley, the man "behind" The Runaways), and it blasts out like a declaration of rock and roll as sung by Joan Jett. "Take It Or Leave It," written by Jett, follows and shows the ladies were more than able to hold their own against other hard rockers of the era.
