Sweet Insanity
''Sweet Insanity'' is an unofficial album by the American musician Brian Wilson that was produced in 1990 as the follow-up to his first solo album, ''Brian Wilson'' (1988). It was largely written and produced by Wilson alongside his former psychologist, Eugene Landy. The album was rejected by Sire Records due to Landy's lyrics and the inclusion of " Smart Girls", a rap song. Select tracks were later rerecorded for Wilson's 2004 album '' Gettin' In over My Head''. Background In 1987, Wilson agreed to a two-album solo contract offered by Sire Records president Seymour Stein. The first album, ''Brian Wilson'', was released in July 1988 to critical acclaim but underwhelming sales, and it was largely overshadowed by the controversies surrounding Wilson's former psychologist, Eugene Landy, who had become his business and creative partner. In August, ''Rolling Stone'' reported that Wilson was readying a second album, and that "half" of it had already been written. In May 1989, Wilson ...

Bootleg Recording
A bootleg recording is an audio or video recording of a performance not officially released by the artist or under other legal authority. Making and distributing such recordings is known as ''bootlegging''. Recordings may be copied and traded among fans without financial exchange, but some bootleggers have sold recordings for profit, sometimes by adding professional-quality sound engineering and packaging to the raw material. Bootlegs usually consist of unreleased studio recordings, live performances or interviews without the quality control of official releases. Bootlegs reached new popularity with Bob Dylan's ''Great White Wonder'', a compilation of studio outtakes and demos released in 1969 using low-priority pressing plants. The following year, the Rolling Stones' ''Live'r Than You'll Ever Be'', an audience recording of a late 1969 show, received a positive review in ''Rolling Stone''. Subsequent bootlegs became more sophisticated in packaging, particularly the Trademark of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Traveling Wilburys
The Traveling Wilburys were a British-American supergroup formed in Los Angeles in 1988, consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. They were a roots rock band and described as "perhaps the biggest supergroup of all time". Originating from an idea discussed by Harrison and Lynne during the sessions for Harrison's 1987 album '' Cloud Nine'', the band formed in April 1988 after the five members united to record a bonus track for Harrison's next European single. When this collaboration, " Handle with Care", was deemed too good for such a limited release, the group agreed to record a full album, titled '' Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1'', released in October 1988. Following Orbison's death in December 1988, the Wilburys continued as a quartet and released a second album, incongruously titled '' Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3'', in 1990. The release of their debut album was much anticipated because of the stature of the participants. The band members ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
