Queen ) Innuendo ) 1991
You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.
Innuendo is the 14th studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 4 February 1991 by Parlophone in the UK and it is the band's 1st studio album to be released by Hollywood Records in the US. Produced by David Richards and the band, it was the band's last album to be released in lead singer Freddie Mercury's lifetime. It reached the No. 1 spot on the UK album charts for 2 weeks, and also peaked at No. 1 in Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland. It was the 1st Queen album to go Gold in the US upon its release since The Works in 1984.
The album was recorded between March 1989 and November 1990. In the spring of 1987, Mercury had been diagnosed with AIDS, although he kept his illness a secret from the public and denied numerous media reports that he was seriously ill. The band and producers were aiming for a November or December release date in order to catch the crucial Christmas market, but Mercury's declining health meant that the release of the album did not take place until February 1991. Stylistically, Innuendo is in some sense a return to Queen's roots, with its harder rock sound, complex musical composition (title track), psychedelic effects ("I'm Going Slightly Mad"), and strong vocals from Mercury ranging three octaves (F2-F5). 9 months after the album was released, Mercury died of AIDS-derived bronchopneumonia.
The album cover was designed by Queen and Richard Gray. The booklets and single covers from the album are by Grandville, or are inspired by his illustrations. Innuendo was voted the 94th greatest album of all time in a national 2006 BBC poll.
Queen:
Freddie Mercury – lead vocals, backing vocals, keyboard, drum machine, piano

You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.
Back in Black is the 7th studio album by Australian rock band AC⚡︎DC, released on 25 July 1980 by Albert Productions and Atlantic Records. It was the band's 1st album to feature Brian Johnson as lead singer, following the death of Bon Scott, their previous vocalist.
After the commercial breakthrough of their 1979 album Highway to Hell, AC⚡︎DC was planning to record a follow-up, but in February 1980, Scott died from alcohol poisoning after a drinking binge. The remaining members of the group considered disbanding, but ultimately chose to continue on and recruited Johnson, who had previously been vocalist for Geordie.
The album was composed by Johnson and brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, and recorded over 7 weeks in the Bahamas from April to May 1980 with producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange, who had also produced Highway to Hell. Following its completion, the group mixed Back in Black at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. The album's all-black cover was designed as a "sign of mourning" for Scott.
Back in Black was an unprecedented commercial and critical success. It has sold an estimated 50 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums in music history.

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is the 5th studio album by English heavy metal band Black Sabbath, released in November 1973. It was produced by the band and recorded at Morgan Studios in London in September 1973. The writing process for the album, which began in Los Angeles, California, was initially hampered in part by the band's substance abuse and fatigue following their 1972–1973 world tour in support of their previous album, Vol. 4. The band then relocated to Clearwell Castle in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England, where guitarist Tony Iommi conceived the main riff of what became the album's title track and lead single.
For the 1st time in their career, the band began to receive favourable reviews in the mainstream press. The song "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" has been singled out for praise by many hard rock and heavy metal guitar players. The album has been sertified Platinum in the US.

Vol. 4 is the 4th studio album by English heavy metal band Black Sabbath, released in September 1972. The album was originally to be titled Snowblind in reference to both the song Snowblind and the amount of cocaine they took while recording. However, the record label thought this was too edgy and retitled the album Vol. 4 and changed the artwork while the band was on vacation.
While most critics of the era were dismissive of the album, it achieved gold status in less than a month, and was the band's 4th consecutive release to sell 1 million copies in the US.

Master of Reality is the 3rd studio album by English heavy metal band Black Sabbath, released in August 1971 by Vertigo Records. It is regarded by some critics as the foundation of doom metal, stoner rock, and sludge metal. Produced by Rodger Bain, who also produced the band's prior 2 albums, Master of Reality was recorded at Island Studios in London from February to April 1971. Guitarist Tony Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler downtuned their instruments during the production, achieving what Iommi called a "bigger, heavier sound".
Master of Reality peaked at number 5 on the UK Albums Chart and number 8 on the US Billboard 200. Though negatively received by critics on release, the album is now considered one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all time. It was certified 2X platinum by RIAA after having sold over 2 million copies in the US.

NEW is the 165th solo studio album by Paul McCartney, released on 11 October 2013 through MPL Communications, Hear Music, and Universal International. The album was his 1st since 2007's Memory Almost Full to consist entirely of new compositions.
The album was executive produced by Giles Martin, with production by Martin, Mark Ronson, Ethan Johns and Paul Epworth and it was mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound, New York. McCartney has stated that NEW was inspired by recent events in his life as well as memories of his pre-Beatles history. He added that some of the arrangements are unlike his usual rock recordings, and that he specifically sought out younger producers to work with. He and his stage band performed in various venues to promote the album, along with promotional events held through social media.
The 1st single, "New", and the album were met with a generally favorable reception from music critics. The album peaked at number 3 on the UK Albums Chart and on the US Billboard 200.

Paul McCartney ) Paul Is Live ) 1993
You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.
Paul Is Live is a live album by Paul McCartney, released in 1993 during his New World Tour in support of his studio album Off the Ground, released that same year. Paul Is Live contains live recordings of McCartney and his touring band—which at the time included his then-wife Linda and guitarist Robbie McIntosh—performing songs by McCartney's former bands The Beatles and Wings, as well as songs from his solo career. The tracks included on the album were recorded at various concerts during his New World Tour, in several American cities and in Australia.
The title of Paul Is Live is a reference to the "Paul is dead" conspiracy theory, and the album's cover artwork, which is based on that of the Beatles' 1969 album Abbey Road, contains multiple references to the theory. Paul Is Live was McCartney's last live album for 9 years, until the release of the double live album Back in the U.S.
