“Live” is an album by Dutch hard rock band Golden Earring, released in 1977.
This 1977 double-album opus represents Golden Earring’s entry into the series of live albums that were so popular in the late ’70s.
At this point in its career, the band’s live sound had a newfound sense of power, thanks to the addition of second guitarist Eelco Gelling. Indeed, classics like “Radar Love” and “She Flies on Strange Wings” benefit from a newfound complexity and energy that stems from the energetic guitar interplay between Gelling and George Kooymans.
Golden Earring’s new double-guitar sound also allows the group to overhaul some of its material in new and interesting ways. For instance, “To the Hilt” is transformed from the short country-flavored tune that appeared on its similarly titled studio album into a stomping, twin-guitar epic in the live arena.
The downside of Live is that the group sometimes gets carried away with its newly refurbished sound and allows some of the tunes to degenerate into pointless noodling: “Mad Love’s Coming” drives its hypnotic riff into the ground by overextending itself a few minutes too far and the group’s fire-breathing remake of the Byrds’ classic “Eight Miles High” undercuts its considerable energy by dragging the song out to ten self-indulgent minutes.

Artist:  Sniff ´N´ The Tears
Title:  The Game´s Up
Release:  1980
Format:  LP
Label:  Chiswick Records
Catalog#  CWK-3014

Paul Roberts (the singer and main writer for Sniff ‘n’ the Tears) writes some songs with nice solid stories to them, and then him and the band put some very good instrumental work around those lyrics. The music is kinda laid back, which fits the material. Paul’s voice comes through clearly, but music is not some simple guitar strumming in the background.
The first song on the album is (IMO) the weakest. It’s also probably the only song that has any connection at all to the cover art (the cover art is actually a painting that Paul had done, and the record company in Germany thought it was a really cool painting so they wanted it for the cover.
The album has several excellent songs, with “What Can Daddy Do” (about a rich father and the life of a daughter that he spoils a bit too much), “If I Knew Then”, “5 & Zero” (a gambler in action, gambling at love while gambling for money), “Poison Pen Mail” (a relationship which has gone painfully sour), and “Rodeo Drive” (lifestyles of the rich and conspicuous, as well as those who fall by the wayside).
The music has something of a country-rock feel to it, with a bit more emphasis on having a rock-edge to the music than country story-telling.

Title:  Dire Straits
Release:  1978
Format:  LP
Label:  Vertigo Records
Catalog#  6360162

“Dire Straits” is the debut album by British rock band Dire Straits, a musical collaboration between Mark and David Knopfler.
Dire Straits’ minimalist interpretation of pub rock had already crystallized by the time they released their eponymous debut. Driven by Mark Knopfler’s spare, tasteful guitar lines and his husky warbling, the album is a set of bluesy rockers. And while the bar band mentality of pub-rock is at the core of Dire Straits even the group’s breakthrough single, “Sultans of Swing,” offered a lament for a neglected pub rock band their music is already beyond the simple boogies and shuffles of their forefathers, occasionally dipping into jazz and country. Knopfler also shows an inclination toward Dylanesque imagery, which enhances the smoky, low-key atmosphere of the album. While a few of the songs fall flat, the album is remarkably accomplished for a debut, and Dire Straits had difficulty surpassing it throughout their career.

Artist:  The Brothers Johnson
Title:  Out Of Control
Release:  1984
Format:  LP
Label:  A&M Records
Catalog#  AMLH 64965

Although they were nearly a decade on from their ’70s heyday, the Brothers Johnson, with Leon Sylvers at the production helm, still managed to set a few grooves on fire among the heavy, heady crop of synthesized R&B that flooded the adult contemporary market. There’s an interesting interplay between the strong bass and vocals, supported by a smattering of guitar and a markedly slow tempo, which ensured that the single “You Keep Me Coming Back” would power into the R&B Top 20. Much of Out of Control follows through with much the same attitude, with nary a true funk-fueled jam to be found. Some of the duo’s original intent survives on “I Came Here to Party” and the title track, but such stompers are few and far between, merely filling space in between the ballads and soft soul numbers that dominate the set, leaving the smart “Dazed” to fall somewhere in between. Out of Control probably won’t thrill the socks off the brothers’ funk fans, but there are still moments that merit a closer listen. And despite the soft sonics that proliferate, the Brothers Johnson certainly proved they were worthy of their staying power, while so many of their peers fell soundly by the wayside.

The first track, the ballad “Love All The Hurt Away” is a nice duet between Franklin and George Benson, is sensitive and the two artists do well together. There are three covers (Sam & Dave’s “Hold On, I’m Comin’, The Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get Want You Want,” and Diana Ross’s “It’s My Turn”) which go to show that Aretha, like Luther Vandross, can take another’s song and make it uniquely hers. “Living the Streets” and “There’s a Star for Everyone” are also two noteworthy selections.

Title:  Alpha

Label:  Geffen Records
Catalog#  GEF 25508

Alpha is the second studio album by British rock band Asia, released in 1983.
The eagerly awaited follow-up to the supergroup’s debut, Alpha landed with a resounding thud a year later. The album still managed to be a platinum-selling Top Ten hit, as did the leadoff single “Don’t Cry,” but where Asia managed to make old sounds fresh, Alpha fails miserably. Nothing on Alpha packs the sheer sonic force of the band’s debut. Instead, much of the record is lightweight both lyrically and musically, leaning heavier on keyboard-laden ballads like “The Smile Has Left Your Eyes,” which managed to scrape into the Top 40, and “My Own Time (I’ll Do What I Want).” The only real meat on the record comes during the last cut, “Open Your Eyes” (and only at the end of the song). Rumored creative differences, the album’s lukewarm reception, and flagging ticket sales for the ensuing tour led to lead singer John Wetton leaving the band before the year was out.

Artist:  Rickie Lee Jones
Title:  Pirates
Release:  1981
Format:  LP
Label:  Warner Bros. Records
Catalog#  WB 56816

“Pirates” is the second album by Chicago-born singer, songwriter, and musician Rickie Lee Jones, released in July 1981, two years after her eponymous debut Rickie Lee Jones. The album is partially an account of her break-up with fellow musician Tom Waits after the success of her debut album.
From the opening track, “We Belong Together,” Jones served notice that she was willing to challenge herself and experiment with more unusual, complex song structures. Her unique phrasing and style reflect her interest in beat poets and the bohemian lifestyle, and on this album she relies on more obscure imagery than the direct, detailed observations on comrades used on her first album. There are a wide range of musical influences represented (rock, jazz, soul), but the acoustic arrangements are more piano-based than most of her other albums. While there is an undercurrent of reflection on failed romances, Jones also reveals her playful side with songs like “Woody and Dutch.” The musical and lyrical variety on the album is best represented in the album’s centerpiece, “Pirates (So Long Lonely Avenue),” where she moves through mood and tempo changes with ease. Although the songs may not immediately grab the listener, the lyrical and musical complexities ultimately make this album more rewarding with every listen.

Artist:  Al Stewart
Title:  24 Carrots
Release:  1980
Format:  LP
Label:  RCA Records
Catalog#  PL-25306

“24 Carrots” is the ninth studio album by Al Stewart, released in 1980. This is Stewart’s first album with his new band Shot in the Dark. Tracks 1-4 are co-written with Peter White. The single “Midnight Rocks” reached the top 30 on the Billboard charts in 1980
The pun of the title of “24 Carrots” the first overt signal of humor Al Stewart has displayed in years, possibly ever illustrates that a lot has changed since 1978’s “Time Passages”. The loosening of his wit is perhaps the most evident, but the most significant is the departure of producer Alan Parsons, who collaborated with Stewart on his mid-’70s triptych of masterpieces. In truth, “24 Carrots” isn’t far removed from those high points, because he is indeed still writing at a remarkably consistent pace. No, this record isn’t quite at the high standard of the previous three albums, but it does have a number of brilliant moments, from the opening “Running Man” through the silly but effective “Mondo Sinistro” and the gorgeous “Midnight Rocks.” Though there are some songs that don’t quite click (something that did not happen on the aforementioned trio), overall the record coheres nicely, thanks not just to the uniform classiness of Stewart’s songs, but to his production with Chris Desmond. Although the production does hint at the antiseptic cleanliness that sank many of his latter-day recordings, here, it is just a perfect balance of audio precision and elegant studiocraft.

Artist:  Amanda Lear
Title:  Sweet Revenge
Release:  1978
Format:  LP
Label:  Ariola Records
Catalog#  25900 OT

“Sweet Revenge” is the second studio album by French singer Amanda Lear, released in 1978 by West German label Ariola Records. The album turned out a major commercial success, spawning European hit disco singles “Follow Me” and “Enigma (Give a Bit of Mmh to Me)”.
After the major success of the debut album, Lear teamed up again with Anthony Monn to work on her second LP. “Sweet Revenge” was recorded between December 1977 and February 1978 between various studios in Munich, and consisted of mainstream disco material, with all lyrics written by Lear herself. The album incorporates elements of cabaret music in “Comics” and rock in “The Stud”. All songs from the side A of the original LP release are a lyrically linked non-stop medley, making “Sweet Revenge” a concept album. The songs tell the story of “a girl who sold her soul to the Devil and won”, as Amanda explained in the liner notes. The girl surrenders to the Devil’s temptation, who promises her fame and fortune, but eventually runs away and finds real love with a man, which is her “sweet revenge over the Devil’s offer”.

Artist:  Saga
Title:  In Transist
Release:  1982
Format:  LP
Label:  Polydor Records
Catalog#  2374200

“In Transit” is a live album by Canadian progressive rock band Saga. The album was recorded in Copenhagen and Munich in 1982. In Transit went platinum in Canada and gold in Germany
“In Transit” is one of this Canadian band’s best albums, which is not often said about a live release. Saga’s progressive edge is toned down by Michael Sadler’s serious vocal style, which is both highly energetic and pleasantly soft. Like Marillion, their songs involve short keyboard stints followed by gracious electric guitar work, with intricate themes being unraveled in the lyrics all the while. This album radiates with the band’s electrifying fervor, and by not being too progressive or pretentious, each song ends up being immensely entertaining. “Humble Stance,” with the precision of Ian Crichton’s guitar playing, is stunning, as is the drumming on “Wind Him Up.” The synthesizer is used wisely on “How Long,” faintly shimmering in and out amongst the clarity of Sadler’s voice. Ending with the spirited bombast of “On the Loose,” the album as a whole has no weak moments, and not a lot of crowd interference either, which can sometimes tarnish a live album. Saga produces a comfortable balance of progressive elements and straight-ahead rock, so that their music can be appreciated by fans of both styles. “In Transit” is solid evidence of this.

Artist:  The B.B. & Q Band
Title:  All Night Long
Release:  1982
Format:  LP
Label:  Capitol Records
Catalog#  1A 064-400110

Heavily influenced by the sounds of Prince and Cameo, among others, the Brooklyn, Bronx & Queens Band jumped into, and foundered among, the large pool of early-’80s funky wave bands. They had the keyboards, they had that ubiquitous drum sound, and they’d already had a Top Ten R&B hit with “On the Beat” in 1981. With the band’s original lineup falling away, the question of how to proceed remained. By the beginning of 1982, they had two choices: drop off the face of the earth or claw their way back to the charts. They chose the latter but not without some difficulties. “All Night Long” (1982) featured a huge, new lineup, most evident to fans as departing vocalist Lucious Floyd was replaced by Kevin Robinson. The resulting ensemble, though, powered their way through a smooth set and a return to the charts with “Imagination” in July. Punchy guitars and polished production ensured the single was the perfect accompaniment to the bright-light, fast-car Saturday-night dramas that dominated the early part of the decade. “Hanging Out” and “Hard to Get Around,” meanwhile, saw the album follow in similar musical footsteps, only to be dampened by the mediocre ballad “(I Could Never Say) It’s Over” and a bland take on the Stylistics’ “Children of the Night.” Ultimately, there simply wasn’t enough punch to the long-player and the band quickly slid into a super-produced, overly slick quagmire that sucked them straight back into obscurity.

Artist:  Soundtrack (by John Barry)
Title:  Moonraker
Release:  1979
Format:  LP
Label:  United Artist Records
Catalog#  5C 062-82696

“Moonraker” is the soundtrack for the 11th James Bond film of the same name.
It was also the third of the three Bond films for which the theme song was performed by Shirley Bassey. Kate Bush and Frank Sinatra were both considered for the vocals, before Johnny Mathis was approached and offered the opportunity. Mathis was unhappy about the song and withdrew from the project, leaving the producers to offer the song to Bassey within just weeks of the release date. As a result Bassey made the recordings with very short notice and as a result, she never regarded the song ‘as her own’ as she had never had the chance to perform it or promote it first. The film uses two versions of the title theme song, a ballad version heard over the main titles, and a disco version for the end titles. Confusingly, the United Artists single release labelled the tracks on the 7? single as “Moonraker (Main Title)” for the version used to close the film and “Moonraker (End Title)” for the track that opened the film. The song failed to make any real impact on the charts, which may partly be attributed to Bassey’s failure to promote the single, given the last minute decision and the way in which it was quickly recorded to meet the schedule.
