Love Gun was Kiss' fifth studio album in three years (and seventh release overall, peaking at number four on Billboard), and proved to be the last release that the original lineup played on. By 1977, Kiss merchandise was flooding the marketplace (lunch boxes, makeup kits, comic books, etc.), and it would ultimately lead to a Kiss backlash in the '80s. But the band was still focused on their music for Love Gun, similar in sound and approach to Rock and Roll Over, their previous straight-ahead rock release…

'Dark Sarah' is a young Finn who was trained as a classical singer. Heidi Parviainen, Dark Sarah’s real name, founded this project in 2012. And again on their new album "The Puzzle" we hear classical music, combined with metal, film and theatre music. In addition, the lady receives energetic support from Juha-Pekka Leppäluoto (Northern Kings), Charlotte Wessels (Delain) and Manuela Kraller (Xandria). Dark Sarah is the story of a young woman named Sarah who fights against her dark self (Dark Sarah)! Fans of Symphonic/Orchestral Metal, Gothic metal, or Female Fronted Metal will find The Puzzle to be a winner. Dark Sarah’s The Puzzle is a fine example of Cinematic Metal – a true Rock Opera – and it is highly recommended!

"Lust For Live" is a live rarity full of impetus, recorded in Hamburg in September 1993, following the third studio album's publication. Up to now it has only been available as VHS and later as DVD. Now, finally and for the first time as audio CD!

In many ways this is a special recording. It features first-desks from the Chicago Sym. playing two of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, and so far beyond the average Baroque ensemble are they that one yearns for the other four. Just to hear the amazing trumpet solos in Concerto no. 2 by the legendary Adolph Herseth repays the cost of the CD. But we also get James Levine doing double duty at the harpsichord in Concerto no. 5. One deficit from the rise of period performance is that non-specialists have been driven out. The days when an all-around musician like Levine or Leonard Bernstein performed Bach and Handel are more or less over, and their replacements, to be tactful, are not on such an exalted level of talent….

Famously tagged as "fascist" in a Rolling Stone review printed at the time of its 1978 release, Jazz does indeed showcase a band that does thrive upon its power, thrilling upon the hold that it has on its audience. That confidence, that self-intoxication, was hinted at on News of the World but it takes full flower here, and that assurance acts as a cohesive device, turning this into one of Queen's sleekest albums…
