Iron Maiden: Live After Death (1985)

Made in Japan [back cover, disc], for the European/U.S. market. This is not to be confused with the Japanese editions from 1986 (barcode demonstrates this is not a Japanese release).

Marketed and distributed by EMI, printed in Holland in the booklet.

The disc was probably pressed by Toshiba EMI Ltd as the matrix is similar to the Japanese records of those years manufactured in Japan.

Released in jewel case including 28-page booklet. First copies came in a smooth edged jewel case.

REVIEW: Jet - Get Born (2003)

Review dedicated to the donor of this CD, Mr. Harrison Kopp.  I hope I like it.  I am writing this review “live” so to speak, on first listen. JET – Get Born (2003 EMI) Get Born is Jet’s first LP, only two years after forming, and after one 4-track EP.  Let’s listen and find out how adept this band got at writing songs after only two years.  You already know track 2, “Are You Gonna Be My Girl”,…

My Concerto for You - 1960

Russ recorded his first orchestral album, My Concerto for You, in late 1959 and early 1960. It was a distinct departure from the upbeat 'honky-tonk' sound which had made him famous, and although he had recorded an orchestral single before (The World Outside, in 1958), this was something completely new.

Accompanied by Michael Collins and his Concert Orchestra, and the Williams Singers, Russ recorded twelve orchestral tracks, including the title track, which was a self-penned composition which he wrote under his real name of Trevor H. Stanford.

The initial release date was planned to be late 1959, but due to a degree of distortion on some of the initial recordings, a second recording session was planned for early January 1960 and so the album was released that year.

It goes to show just how popular Russ was at this time that such a different album to all the others he'd made managed to reach number five on the UK Album Charts, and remained on the charts for eighteen weeks - longer than any of his other LPs. Norman Newell was initially apprehensive about recording an orchestral LP with Russ, but it had proved to be a big success.

It led to a further five orchestral albums from Russ: At the Theatre, At the Cinema, and three others in the 'Concerto' series - Concerto for Dreamers, Concerto for Lovers, and Concerto for Memories. All of these 'Concerto' albums had their title tracks composed by Russ, and he would later say that Concerto for Memories was his favourite composition of all those he had made during his career.

An interesting note about the piece entitled My Concerto for You is that it was given the subtitle Theme from the Bristol Concerto for its sheet music release: in his Desert Island Discs radio appearance, Russ said it was his intention to take My Concerto for You and work it into a full-scale concerto. Unfortunately, this never happened, but his sheer talent as a composer can be seen in the concertos he did produce.
