The Velvet Underground's classic self-titled third album, released in March 1969, by MGM, was a departure from the band's first two albums in more ways than one. Gone was co-founding member John Cale, and in his place was a 21-year-old with Long Island roots named Doug Yule, who stepped right in. The record was also a stylistic leap, as Lou Reed describes it in Rolling Stone editor David Fricke's liner notes, 'I thought we had to demonstrate the other side of us. Fricke calls it 'a stunning turnaround… 10 tracks of mostly warm, explicit sympathy and optimism, expressed with melodic clarity, set in gleaming double-guitar jangle and near-whispered balladry. Or as the late rock critic Lester Bangs put it, 'How do you define a group like this, who moved from 'Heroin' to 'Jesus' in two short years?' Celebrating its enduring longevity, Polydor/Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) will releases The Velvet Underground - 45th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition. This 64-track, six-CD package is housed in a case-bound book and features several different mixes including the remastered stereo mix by MGM house engineer Luis Pastor 'Val' Valentin, a set of 1969 recordings, many of which were previously unreleased, from the Record Plant in New York City that were supposed to be the band's fourth album, several of which ended up on Loaded and Reed's first two solo releases, and unreleased live recordings from The Matrix in 1969.

Minnie Ripeton's voice was one of the most versatile and rich instruments ever heard. Her range, as showcased in 'Lovin You' was incredible, but it's the seductive tones of songs like 'Inside my Love' that really shine. 'Les Fleurs' and 'I Am the Black Gold of the Sun' are a trimphant and joyous psychedelic treat. Also included is a duet of 'Light my Fire' with Jose Felliciano. 14 tracks in all. EMI.

William John Evans was an American jazz pianist and composer who mostly played in trios. His use of impressionist harmony, inventive interpretation of traditional jazz repertoire, block chords, and trademark rhythmically independent, "singing" melodic lines continues to influence jazz pianists today.

一支古老的乐队，一张复古的专辑 这是一张风格多变的专辑，但是相信你即使第一次听它也会感觉到它的音乐那过时的味道，单调的吉他，简单的节奏，但是如果这样理解这个乐队就有点狭隘了，他们的音乐永远都是富有知识分子气质的，文雅的摇滚着。虽然古老，但是只有真正喜欢他们，喜欢这种感觉的人才能体会这张专辑的价值，也许就和它的名字一样，Out Of Time

《4分33秒》（英语：4′33″、Four minutes, thirty-three seconds、Four thirty-three）是由美国先锋派作曲家约翰·凯奇创作的曲子，任何乐器或乐器组合皆可演奏。此曲最特别之处为演奏者从头至尾都不需要演奏出一个音。 《4分 33秒》是美国先锋派作曲家约翰·凯奇最著名的音乐作品之一。任何乐器或乐器组合皆可演奏《4分33秒》，但比较常见的版本是以钢琴演奏。可是，根据《4分33秒》的乐谱显示，演奏者从头至尾都不需要奏出一个音。一般来说，钢琴演奏者在乐章之间会做出开合琴盖、擦汗等动作，而在演奏这首乐曲期间听众听见的各种声响都可被认为是音乐的组成部分。因此，《4分33秒》具有机遇音乐的特征。而因为这部作品在演奏时演奏者不会演奏出一个音，所以常被称为“四分半钟的寂静”。另外，因为此曲的演奏会被环境与观众行为影响，所以每次演奏期间发出的声音都会不同。此曲子分为三个乐章，其中第一乐章长度为30秒；第二乐章长度为2分23秒；第三乐章长度为1分40秒。 《4分33秒》的首次公演是由大卫·都铎于1952年8月29日在伍德斯托克进行。

After the release of 1977's Monkey Island, the J. Geils Band severed ties with Atlantic and signed a fresh deal with EMI Records. The band's tenure with Atlantic only yielded a few successes, and on paper, teaming up with producer Joe Wissert, the man responsible for many of Earth, Wind & Fire's and Boz Scaggs' biggest hits, seemed like an odd choice. However, Sanctuary was a rebirth of sorts for the sextet: Wissert crystallized the band's attack, working off their leaner songwriting and simplifying their arrangements. Keeping their boogie-woogie bar band attack intact, Peter Wolf and Seth Justman delivered first-rate material, including the down and dirty opener "I Could Hurt You," the sublime title track and the lovely "One Last Kiss," which cracked the Top 40 in early 1978. The Stevie Wonder-ish "Take It Back," also a mild hit, predicted the commercial direction the band took on Freeze Frame three years later. The beautiful "Teresa," a heartbreaking ballad executed with help of a simple vocal/piano arrangement courtesy of the Wolf/Justman team, and "Wild Man,," which sounds like a leftover from the Atlantic years, are also highlights. Sanctuary's final song, the rollicking, Magic Dick-driven "Just Can't Stop Me," encapsulates everything magical (pun intended) and soulful about this band. With its effortless playing and a breakdown that'll have you on the edge of your seat, it served as the band's call into battle for the Freeze Frame tour. The Razor & Tie reissue features covers of "I Do" and "Land of a Thousand Dances" from the band's live record Showtime, recorded at the height of their Freeze Frame period. "Land of a Thousand Dances" in particular reminds you just how incredible these guys were live.

1977年的唱片《The Stranger/陌生人》是比利·乔的一次重大突破，也是他的备受众多乐评家推崇的首要代表作。此前四张专辑在排行榜上只是不愠不火，《陌生人》则连续六周蝉联专辑榜亚军头衔，在《滚石》评出的历代500张最强专辑中排名第67位。在这张唱片中，比利·乔找着了成功的秘方：“一瓶红葡萄酒”，“一瓶白葡萄酒”，再加一双锋利得能够洞穿纽约街头寻常生活的眼睛。这个钢琴人借马丁·斯科西斯式的幽默感及对众生的悲悯，完善了他的叙事天赋。无论是在"Movin´ Out(Anthony´s Song)"中歌唱一个落魄的意大利裔妓女，还是"She´s Always a Woman to Me"中的祸水红颜，抑或是"Scenes From an Italian Restaurant"中被诅咒的长岛的贫贱夫妻Brenda与Eddie，都见证了他的这份博大的关怀。与此同时，他以一首格莱美奖得主歌曲"Just the Way You Are"(为其第一任妻子兼经纪人伊利莎白而作)登入流行榜，这首歌也成为了婚礼乐队的常演曲
