The Beatles
The Beatles were an English rock band, formed in Liverpool in 1960, that comprised John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. They are regarded as the most influential band of all time and were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form.

As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements. Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles evolved from Lennon's previous group, the Quarrymen, and built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three years from 1960, initia ...

''Black Love'' was preceded by the single "Honky's Ladder" and followed by the single "Going to Town" (also released as the '' Bonnie & Clyde EP'' in the US).

The 20th anniversary reissue was released as a double CD and triple LP, and includes nine previously-unreleased tracks.

Gentlemen (album)
''Gentlemen'' is the fourth studio album by American alternative rock band the Afghan Whigs. It was recorded primarily at Ardent Studios in Memphis, with the band's frontman Greg Dulli producing, and released on October 5, 1993, by Elektra Records. Written by Dulli on tour for the band's 1992 album '' Congregation'', ''Gentlemen'' is composed as a troubling song cycle that follows a toxic relationship as it ends. Noted for Dulli's grimly acerbic lyrics and influences from soul music, it is considered by critics to be the Afghan Whigs' greatest record, an essential release from the 1990s, and among the best-written breakup albums. The album was remastered in deluxe format for its 21st anniversary and covered extensively in a dedicated volume of the 33⅓ music book series. Writing and recording The Afghan Whigs frontman Greg Dulli, an amateur filmmaker during his teenage years, took direct inspiration for ''Gentlemen''s thematic concept from Francis Ford Coppola's 1982 r ...
