2014 two CD collection. Crispian St. Peters was a folk/pop singer-songwriter who enjoyed significant success in the mid-'60s, his career fueled by some infamous boasts about his musical talents (his claim that he was better than Elvis and The Beatles caused an outrage at the time). Signing to Decca in 1965, Crispian broke through with the UK # 2 hit 'You Were On My Mind' in 1966 (it also made the Top 40 Stateside), followed by perhaps his most famous song, 'The Pied Piper', which was Top 5 on both sides of the Atlantic. He also had a minor UK/US hit with 'Changes'. The Pied Piper does exactly what it says on the package: for the first time, this remastered set offers Crispian's complete recorded output for various labels across nigh on a decade, starting with early singles 'At This Moment' and 'No, No, No' and ending with a one-off single for Santa Ponsa. Both of Crispian's albums are represented in their entirety.

Moving seamlessly between TV and film studios and the recording studio, John Leyton cut a series of masterful pop singles during the early 1960s, often tied in to his on-screen work. Embellished by Joe Meek’s inventive production and the writing talents of Geoff Goddard and others, he quickly became a firm favourite on the pop scene, complete with his “lonely” outsider image. ‘Lone Rider’ brings together the highlights of John’s recordings found among Meek’s legendary Tea Chest Tapes. From early and alternate versions of well-known hits, never-before-heard stereo masters (including the entire ‘Two Sides Of John Leyton’ album), demos, session outtakes, instrumentals, rehearsals and a number of previously unknown songs, this is another remarkable window into the world of Joe Meek’s independent home studio, situated in a first floor flat on North London’s Holloway Road.

not.com.mercial is the 23rd album by American singer-actress Cher, released November 8, 2000. The album was released exclusively through Cher.com and Artist Direct, although there it eventually received a limited CD release. The album follows Cher's largest commercial hit Believe. On December 21, 2012 the album was once again released via the Universal Music Group site Bravado as part of a reissue. The majority of not.com.mercial was written by Cher in 1994 when she retreated to France. The song "Born With the Hunger" was written by Eikhardt, and "Classified 1A" is a newly remixed version of her 1970 Sonny Bono-penned song. The folk/rock-themed album with some slow ballads was proposed to Warner UK when Cher signed with the company in early 1995. Rob Dickins, head of Warner, reportedly turned down the project as being "not commercial".

American vocal and instrumental duo consisting of sister Karen, and brother Richard Carpenter.Carpenters were the #1 selling American music act of the 1970's. Though often referred to as "The Carpenters," their name on official releases and press materials was "Carpenters." During a period in the 1970's when louder and wilder rock was in great demand, Richard and Karen produced a distinctively soft musical style that made them among the best-selling music artists of all time.

Originally issued in 1994 as Christmas Spirit, this ten-song holiday collection mixes both traditional and contemporary favorites, and also places Summer in a wide variety of vocal styles from jazz to choral without pigeonholing her in the predictable disco and dance world. This may come as a shock to casual fans, but die-hard fans who have followed Summer throughout her career will find this a pleasant addition to her already versatile career and a nice alternative to predictable holiday music fare.

Barbra Streisand makes a point of noting that she completed this, her second Christmas album, before the tragic events of September 11, 2001, even going so far as to list the recording dates (July 19-September 7, 2001). And listening to the disc, you can see why. If great artists sometimes demonstrate an uncanny ability to take the temperature of the times with their work, this one can be said to have anticipated the dramatic change in mood that the terrorist attacks occasioned. Christmas music always mixes the celebratory with the nostalgic, some of its classic songs dating from the World War II era when families were separated and feared they might not be reunited. But Streisand's Christmas Memories accentuates that tone well into melancholy.
