While the speed-freak adrenaline heaviness and shrouded occult mystery of Tyranny and Mutation is the watermark for Blue Öyster Cult’s creative invention, it is Secret Treaties that is widely and critically regarded as the band’s classic. Issued in 1974, Secret Treaties is the purest distillation of all of BÖC’s strengths. Here the songs are expansive, and lush in their textures.

Coming off such conceptual, theatrical, sleazy hard rock records as the massively successful School’s Out (1972) and Billion Dollar Babies (1973), the Alice Cooper group decided that their next release would be more along the lines of their earlier, more straightforward work (à la Love It to Death). While Muscle of Love was a gold-certified Top Ten success, it performed below expectations (their previous two albums peaked at number two and number one, respectively) and would unfortunately prove to be the original Alice Cooper band’s last studio album together.

There is no shortage of Jerry Lee Lewis anthologies — the early Sun years in particular have been ripe for compiling — so it’s been easy to overlook a glaring gap in his catalog: a comprehensive career overview. The closest there’s been is Rhino’s terrific double-disc All Killer, No Filler, but Salvo’s 2012 box A Whole Lotta Jerry Lee Lewis trumps that 1993 set handily.

Digitally remastered edition of this 1981 release. Formed in 1979 by Ottawa-born Ron Chenier, singer/ guitarist, recruited players and began honing their chops doing small clubs in and around the Toronto area. Fleet Street was the band’s third album. “Double Or Nothing” again showcased Chenier’s talent for writing slick, guitar riffs, while “Thunder In Rock” was easily the year’s best tune on the radio waves. With the clever addition of a sax solo, “Thunder In Rock” is probably most synonymous with Fist’s music, if any song is at all. Continue reading “Fist – Fleet Street (1981) [2022 Remastered]”

The kitsch enthusiast or novelty seeker will enjoy Ray Conniff’s I Can See Clearly Now. Known primarily for orchestral versions of contemporary songs, his recordings during the late ’60s and early ’70s as the Ray Conniff Singers included many straightforward recordings of current pop hits. This 1973 collection includes songs by Helen Reddy, Johnny Nash, the Fifth Dimension, Gallery, the Jackson 5, Albert Hammond, the Isley Brothers and Seals & Crofts! This fun easy listening album has only an average track listing, although it is a cheerful artifact of the early ’70s.

In January 1973, Perry Como traveled to Nashville and cut several tracks with Chet Atkins producing. RCA Victor quickly released his cover of Don McLean’s “And I Love You So,” which had appeared on the singer/songwriter’s little-heard 1970 debut album Tapestry, as a single, and when the disc showed signs of chart success (it eventually made the pop Top 40 and hit number one on the easy listening charts), Como and Atkins went back into the studio in March and April to complete an album by cutting versions of recent pop hits.

In This recording, William Kanengiser and the Alexander String Quarter pay tribute to a group of English musicians who conquered the musical world with their revolutionary explorations. From the Elizabethan lutenist John Dowland to the pop/rock icons Sting, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, these artists made a lasting impact far from the shores of their small island. Their music served as inspiration for a set of compositions for guitar and string quarter by the talented composer Ian Krouse, Dušan Bogdanović and Léo Brouwer. It is especially appropriate that the guitar sits squarely at the center of these works, as the plucked string was the primary musical voice of these British innovators.
