Album released in Spain in 1973, as a sequel to the original English in 1969 -, which includes up to 9 of the most famous works by English musician, composer and editor Albert William Ketèlbey (Birmingham, 1875-1959). Although he composed a lot of works for symphony orchestras and chamber groups Ketèlbey is and always will remember especially for small musical pieces such as those included in this LP, which were very popular for their great descriptive strength and the beautiful melodies they contain. Eric Rogers conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, with more than 80 musicians and a 30 male voices choir, recorded at Kingsway Hall in London this repertoire without making the slightest alteration in original scores of Ketèlbey, shown here in all its purity and expressiveness.

In 1975 George Duke worked with Sonny Rollins and co-led a group with Billy Cobham. Throughout these years, Duke recorded six albums for MPS: Solus/The Inner Source, Faces in Reflection, I Love the Blues, She Heard My Cry, Feel, The Aura Will Prevail, and Liberated Fantasies, all of which are now regarded as jazz and jazz-funk classics. Duke signed to CBS in late 1975 and released his first solo album for the imprint, From Me to You, in 1976, and began scandalizing jazz critics with his inclusion of funk, disco, and soul elements in his compositions and in the array of musicians who performed with him.

Rod Stewart may have begun his career as a respected singer, yet that critical respect eroded as he got older, as he became more concerned with stardom and adult contemporary songcraft than the rock music that launched him. While he has recorded some terrible albums and he would admit that freely Stewart was once rock & roll's best interpretive singer as well as an accomplished songwriter, creating a raw combination of folk, rock, blues, and country that sounded like no other folk-rock or country-rock material. Instead of finding the folk in rock, he found how folk rocked like hell on its own.

A literate and impassioned songwriter whose song characters are often caught barely hanging on at the edges of American life, Grayson Capps is a bit like a New Orleans version of Tom Waits, albeit more of a roots rocker in actual musical execution. Capps was born April 17, 1967, in Opelika, Alabama, the son of a Baptist preacher and an Auburn University student. After his birth, both of his parents ended up being teachers in Brewton, Alabama.
