Live Album
An album is a collection of audio recordings (e.g., music) issued on a medium such as compact disc (CD), vinyl (record), audio tape (like 8-track or cassette), or digital. Albums of recorded sound were developed in the early 20th century as individual 78 rpm records (78s) collected in a bound book resembling a photo album; this format evolved after 1948 into single vinyl long-playing (LP) records played at rpm. The album was the dominant form of recorded music expression and consumption from the mid-1960s to the early 21st century, a period known as the '' album era''. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though album sales in the 21st-century have mostly focused on CD and MP3 formats. The 8-track tape was the first tape format widely used alongside vinyl from 1965 until being phased out by 1983, being gradually supplanted by the cassette tape throughout the 1970s and early 1980s; the popularity of the cassette reached its peak during the late 1980s before shar ...

Alright/Time
"Alright" is a song by British alternative rock band Supergrass. It was released with "Time" as a double A-side single from their debut album, ''I Should Coco'' (1995), on 3 July 1995 by Parlophone. It was concurrently released on the soundtrack of the 1995 movie '' Clueless'', which helped it become a big hit for the band. "Alright" peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart, number six in Iceland, number eight in Ireland, number 21 in Finland and number 30 in France. The music video for the song was directed by Dom and Nic and filmed at Portmeirion in North Wales. Music and lyrics The "bona fide teen anthem", with its upbeat lyrics and cheerful piano tune, seemed to epitomise British youth culture at the time, when Britpop was at its height. The band's youthful appearance (lead singer Gaz Coombes was 19 at the time of its release) added weight to the lyrics. However, Coombes himself argued in an interview around October 1995, "it wasn't written as an anthem. It isn't supp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Caught By The Fuzz
"Caught by the Fuzz" is a song by English Britpop band Supergrass, released in October 1994 by Parlophone as the debut single from their first album, '' I Should Coco'' (1994). It was written by Gaz Coombes, Danny Goffey and Mick Quinn, and produced by Sam Williams and John Cornfield. The accompanying music video was directed by Dom and Nic, and made as a montage of footage of the band, both onstage and offstage. Background Supergrass had released "Caught by the Fuzz" and " Mansize Rooster" as singles on Backbeat Records, which sold out quickly and gained the interest of record producer Sam Williams, who then offered to record some demos of the band's other songs at Sawmills Studio. These acclaimed demos attracted major label interest, and after an A&R scrutinised gig at the Jericho Tavern in Oxford, they managed to secure a deal with Parlophone. Despite being a new and obscure band, critics welcomed Supergrass as a voice of youth, in part because they were so young, but ...
