Midnight Cafés are Changing All The Time
Smokie, Michael Nesmith & the First National Band, Metal Church, Earth, Wind & Fire, Static-X and the soundtrack Notting Hill
The English rock band Smokie released their second album Changing All The Time in 1975. Hitmakers Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman wrote the two first Smokie hits "Don't Play Your Rock 'n' Roll to Me" and "If You Think You Know How to Love Me", both reaching a top 10 spot in the UK charts. Only half a year after this successful record Smokie released their follow-up Midnight Café. Both records contain bonus tracks and are available as limited editions of 1500 numbered copies on smoke-colored (Changing All The Time) and transparent blue (Midnight Café) vinyl. Changing All The Time contains an edged D-side. Michael Nesmith is best known as a member of the successful American pop and rock band The Monkees. After their break-up, he started performing with the seminal country-rock group the First National Band, and later as a solo artist. His second album Loose Salute is still country dominated, but also offers some of his funky and up-tempo songs. Loose Salute is available as a first pressing of 1000 individually numbered copies on transparent coloured vinyl.
Metal Church's self-titled debut album was originally released independently in 1984. Based on the success of the album, the band signed a recording contract with Elektra, who reissued Metal Church in 1985. Some of their most notable songs are the opener "Beyond The Black", their title track, the instrumental "Merciless Onslaught", "Gods Of Wrath" and the Deep Purple cover "Highway Star". Metal Church is available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on silver colored vinyl. I Am, originally released in 1979, features Earth, Wind & Fire's "Boogie Wonderland" (featuring the vocals of The Emotions), which became one of the most popular disco and cross-over hits of that time. I Am is a good testimony to the solid combination of the band's vocal strength and instrumental backup! This title is available as a limited 40th-anniversary edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on flaming (yellow & orange marbled) vinyl. Wisconsin Death Trip is the debut studio album by industrial metal band Static-X, hailing from the Midwest of the United States. "Push It", the first single from the album is one of the band's most recognizable and popular songs. In celebration of the 20th anniversary, Wisconsin Death Trip is available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on flame coloured (orange & yellow mixed) vinyl.
The soundtrack to the Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant movie Notting Hill is a classic formula.
