◎「奇異妖豔的Nirvana」、「90年代新鮑伊變色龍」的英倫搖滾名團 ◎ 翻唱Katr Bush、The Smiths、Depeche Mode、Robert Plamer、Sinéad O'Connor...等樂壇前輩的經典作品 ◎ 十首珍稀翻唱錄音,原為2003限量發行的Bonus Disc,2010首次以獨立型式發行 「從歌曲看來,Brian Molko寫些非常深沉,黑暗的,滑溜的東西,然後又能跟樂團的音樂作非常驚人且出色地搭配,我認為Placebo可能是當今最棒的三人樂團之一。」這是搖滾變色龍大衛鮑伊David Bowie對Placebo的激賞之言。 「百憂解Placebo」成員包括了比利時籍的吉他手/主唱Brian Molko、瑞典籍的貝斯手Stefan Olsdal,樂團先後用了兩位鼓手,一個是組團時曾合錄過、後來離團、然後又在96年歸隊的英國鼓手Steve Hewitt,以及只合作了一張專輯就閃人的瑞士籍鼓手Rob Schultzberg。Placebo不斷挑戰搖滾樂的創作界線,迪斯可、嘻哈、電子搖滾、實驗搖滾,樣樣都玩,張張專輯都帶給樂迷出乎意料的聽覺驚喜。而主唱雌雄莫辯的嗓音,與頹廢陰暗的靈性歌詞,與爆發力十足的搖滾能量相結合,Placebo更享有「奇異妖豔的Nirvana」、「90年代新鮑伊變色龍」的美名。從1996年正式發跡到2004首張精選輯《Once More with Feeling》,Placebo的八年演唱歷史,便已締造四張賣座專輯與超過500萬張的專輯銷售!其中一張法國演唱會現場的DVD,更曾一度刷新公司有史以來的最佳銷售紀錄。 這張《珍稀翻唱輯Covers》,輯錄Placebo改編翻唱自Kate Bush、The Pixies、The Smiths、Robert Plamer、T-Rex、Serge Gainsbourg、Alex Chilton、Depeche Mode、Boney M與Sinéad O'Connor 等樂壇前輩的經典作品。原本這些Placebo的翻唱作品,大多原先散見收錄在先前發行的單曲B-Sides;其中,翻唱Depeche Mode的〈I Feel You〉,最初甚至是收錄在1999年、在歌迷後援會獨享的限定版「卡帶」之中。這些早被歌迷列為珍稀錄音的作品,直到2003年專輯《Sleeping With Ghosts》發行時,加上所特地灌錄翻唱Katy Bush〈Running Up That Hill〉,集結成Bonus Disc,隨著《Sleeping With Ghosts》「限量」版本發行。直到2010年,這張《Covers》終於首次得以單獨型式發行!也讓先前錯失的歌迷,有了重新收藏的機會。

release date 2009-06-08 publisher: Dream Brother
2009 release, the sixth studio album from the British Alt-Rock trio.

Battle For The Sun was recorded over three months by producer Dave Bottrill (chosen by the band largely because of his work with Tool) in his Toronto studio and mixed in London by Alan Moulder.

release date 2006-10-24 publisher: Elevator Records
Part Two of Two. Enhanced CD single taken from this Britpop trio's 2006 album of the same name. Supported by a superb (and hilarious) 'Fear & Loathing'-esque video about life on the road, the single also comes with brand new B-sides. These are massively in demand from the fans, and are the first new tracks to appear on single formats in this campaign; there is the biggest buzz about these formats from the fanbase than there has been for years. `Meds' is the third single from Placebo's fifth studio album of the same name. The album has sold a million copies worldwide, and has been the most critically well-received record the band have ever released. Features two versions of 'Meds' (Single Mix and Enhanced Video) plus 'Space Monkey' (Timo Maas Remix) and 'UNEEDMEMORETHANINEEDYOU'. Virgin.
