The "Concerto for Group and Orchestra" is a concerto composed by Jon Lord, with lyrics written by Ian Gillan. It was first performed by Deep Purple and The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Malcolm Arnold on 24 September 1969 and released on vinyl in December 1969. The release was the first Deep Purple album to feature Ian Gillan on vocals and Roger Glover on bass.
After the score was lost in 1970, it was performed again in 1999 with a recreated score. The 1969 performance was the first ever combination of rock music and a complete orchestra.

Past, Present and Future is a triple CD with each disc ion this set reflecting part of the title Past, Present and Future. As the title implies the album focuses on time and the themes running through it also come under each of the three headings Past, Present and Future.
The album is a solo piano work from Rick and features all new material.

The title of the CD has special significance to Ronnie, who found healing with his father, Jerry Akos Horvath, on Father’s Day of last year. Jerry was a Holocaust survivor, as was his mother Rose, and was liberated from Auschwitz in 1945. Both of Ronnie’s parents died in 2014. Ronnie made peace with his father after having had a rocky relationship, which had both its ups and downs, joys and struggles.

For this CD compilation I've selected 12 of my songs that I don't seem to tire of. Few of them are well known, but many of them are still sung at my concerts. Usually by me. I'll start off with the hit.

David Bowie

Before playing with Cliff Bennet's band Toe Fat, Ken Hensley and Lee Kerslake (later together again in Uriah Heep) found time to record an album for a specific project called Head Machine, although it was supposed to be released as The Gods' third album. The title of the album was "Orgasm". The producer of the album was David Paramor, who also produced The Gods' albums.

"The Best of 10cc Live" is a 2007 live compilation album by 10cc. The album was given away free with the British newspaper "The Mail On Sunday" in June 2007 to promote the band's 2007 June/July U.K. tour and the recent release of the studio compilation "Greatest Hits … And More".
Of note is the inclusion of the song "Welcome To Paradise", which was never released as a single and has never appeared on any "best of" or "greatest hits" compilation from the band.

"Powerslave" is the fifth studio album by the English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 2 September 1984 on EMI in Europe and its sister label Capitol Records in the US.
"Powerslave" is also notable as being the band's first album to feature the same lineup as the previous one, which would remain intact for two further studio releases.

"Big Generator" is the twelfth studio album by progressive rock band Yes. It was released in 1987 on Atlantic Records' Atco subsidiary label (Yes' last studio album for Atlantic) and was the follow-up to the massively successful "90125" album.

Alphaville is a German synthpop group which gained popularity in the 1980s. The founding members were Marian Gold (real name Hartwig Schierbaum, born 26 May 1954 in Herford, North Rhine-Westphalia), Bernhard Lloyd (real name Bernhard Gößling, born 6 June 1960 in Enger, North Rhine-Westphalia), and Frank Mertens (real name Frank Sorgatz, born 26 October 1961 in Enger, North Rhine-Westphalia). The band was at first named Forever Young before changing to Alphaville. They are best known for their two biggest hits, "Big in Japan" and "Forever Young".

The album was released in January. Two songs from it, "La premiere femme de ma vie" and "J'ai craque" are written by Alain Goraguer, the ex-accomplice of Serge Gainsbourg. Alain also assists Dassin in writing "Petit ballon".

In October and November 1978 Joe returns to CBE for next album, but this time he seems to be a bit less enthusiastic about his work. His family life is of much greater importance! Album released, but only "La vie se chante, la vie se pleure", written as usual by Delanoe and Lemesle, the only one to be remembered, though for this album Plait invited some nicest songwriters of the moment, such as Alice Dona, Toto Cutugno, Didier Barbelivien and William Sheller. The reason is clear: France gets completely crazy about English. Sheila, Juvet, Cerrone, Karen Cheryl, all the bonzes of the French showbiz consider their duty to record tunes in English.
