Most of the albums i 'll post made many millions for the music industry and a lot of what i intend to post still gets repackaged and remastered decades later, squeezing the last drop of profit out of bands that for the most part have ceased to exist long ago, although sometimes they get lured out of the mothballs to do a big bucks gig or tour. Now i'm not as naive to post this kinda music for all to see and have deleted, these will be a black box posts, i'm sorry for those on limited bandwidth but for most of you a gamble will get you a quality rip don't like it, deleting is just 2 clicks...That said i will try to accommodate somewhat and produce some cryptic info on the artist and or album.

Todays mystery album is the artist's fifth album released in 1980, originally, the album was going to be a single set . The artist added darker material after he'd written the title track. Indeed, the album became noted for its mix of the frivolous next to the solemn. It delivered him his first top ten hit, interestingly initially written it for The Ramones, go figure. The double album hit number one on the U.S. pop albums chart, a first for him, and sold 1.6 million copies in the U.S. between its release and Christmas. Meanwhile it has been certified quintuple platinum by the RIAA in the U.S., making it one of his best-selling albums. In 2003, the album was ranked number 250 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
Artist quote
"The mystery album was a record that was sort of the gateway to a lot of my future writing. It was a record made during a recession - hard times in the States. Its title song is a song I wrote for my brother-in-law and sister. My brother-in-law was in the construction industry, lost his job and had to struggle very hard back in the late 70s, like so many people are doing today. It was a record where I first started to tackle men and women and families and marriage. There were certain songs on it that lead to complete records later on."
