Long-awaited dub version of Massive Attack's Mezzanine LP is a treat for fans and casual listeners alike, Massive Attack V Mad Professor Part II (Mezzanine Remix Tapes '98) was released as part of Mezzanine's 20th anniversary.

Cinamatic 1994 album features "Sly" ; "Karmacoma" and "Protection". Cameos by Tracey Thorn and Tricky. Protection is an understated album with a rich palette; it reveals more of itself on repeated listens, growing better - and deeper - each time.

An album that helped to shape the direction of rock music in the 1990s, released on September 21, 1993

Recorded in November 1993, less than six months before singer Kurt Cobain killed himself, Nirvana's MTV Unplugged is a watershed document that presents a band at the peak of its powers. Unlike any other unplugged affair, the diverse album is not a simple stripped-down regurgitation of greatest hits or a cash-it-in set of nostalgic favorites. Rather, the live effort is among the most emotionally naked spectacles ever released an album so starkly intense and profoundly personal, it's impossible not to get chills down the spine. The set list is as surprising as the stylistic makeover.

Originally released in 2002, `Nirvana' features the rare and previously unreleased studio version of "You Know You're Right," the last song the band ever recorded, available exclusively on this compilation, plus 13 other classics.

Coming so quickly after the band's A Night At the Opera opus, this 1976 album works hard at repeating the same hit-making elements, down to the matching cover art. If A Day At the Races lacks the same level of pop tunesmanship, there is still energy in these tracks, particularly in the rocking "Tie Your Mother Down" and the emotional "Somebody to Love," which set a blueprint for future ballads by the band.

Universal Music are proud to release A Kind Of Magic on vinyl, sourced from the original master tapes mastered by Bob Ludwig. While this is not a soundtrack album almost all the songs were used as soundtrack for the movie Highlander (the first one), the only exception being One Vision, which appears in another 80s classic, Iron Eagle. Queen had the songs revised after the movie's release so they could be performed on stage.

'Greatest Hits is a compilation album by Queen, originally released in the UK on 26 October 1981. The album consisted of Queen's best-selling singles since their first chart appearance in 1974 with "Seven Seas of Rhye", up to their 1980 hit "Flash". Queen's Greatest Hits was an instant success, peaking at number one on the UK Album Chart for four weeks.

Produced by Rick Rubin, its musical style differed notably from the band's previous album Mother's Milk (1989), reducing the use of heavy metal guitar riffs and accentuating the melodic songwriting contributions of guitarist John Frusciante. The album's subject matter incorporates sexual innuendos and references to drugs and death, as well as themes of lust and exuberance. The album is recognized as an influential and seminal component of the alternative rock explosion of the early 1990s, with Steve Huey of AllMusic calling it "probably the best album the Chili Peppers will ever make".

The Red Hot Chili Peppers of the quadruple platinum smash Blood Sugar Sex Magic returned revitalized and reunited with Californication four year later, which was perhaps their most anticipated album ever. Most importantly, Californication marked the homecoming of guitarist John Frusciante, a key ingredient in the group's most successful albums. His return signaled the energized re emergence of one of rock's premier emotional, powerful and exciting bands.
