Hello mates!

Following with my uploads on Mariss Jansons recordings i want to share with you a long neglected recording of Shostakovich's 5th by Jansons and the Oslo Philharmonic. This recording seems to be forgotten by the EMI staff who put the recording with the Vienna Philharmonic in the set of the symphonies. Enjoy!

Romany is an album by The Hollies, the first not to feature distinctive, tenor-range lead singer Allan Clarke, who had left to try a solo career and was replaced by a Swedish singer with lower vocal register, Mikael Rickfors–-prompting a somewhat radical reshaping of their trademark vocal harmony style. It was also the first Hollies album to feature only one song written or co-written by lead guitarist Tony Hicks, who was now the last remaining member of the band's two in-house songwriting teams, Clarke-Hicks-Nash and Clarke-Hicks-Sylvester. Hicks was the only member of those teams to contribute a song to the album; Rickfors was the only other band member to contribute an original composition to it.

Distant Light is the 1971 released album by The Hollies. All tracks composed by Tony Hicks and Kenny Lynch; except where indicated. The Hollies are an English pop band from Manchester formed in the early 1960s. Known for their distinctive vocal harmony style (which influenced many other groups) they became one of the leading British bands of the era, and they enjoyed considerable popularity in many other countries (including Australia) although they did not achieve major US chart success until the early 1970s. Like The Rolling Stones and Steeleye Span, they are also notable as one of the few British pop bands of the Sixties that has never officially broken up and which continues to record and perform to the present.
