- Dear reader, we have a new website! You can find it by clicking here: 1969 Inc. Thank you all for reading! -



In 1976, Al Stewart released his hit album 'Year of the Cat' and now, 45 years later, it is getting a 45th anniversary version! The album made a big enough splash that it is actually getting its own re-release! The namesake song on the album, 'Year of the Cat', was a major commercial and critical success and was the biggest hit of Al Stewart's career!

The new 45th anniversary edition is actually pretty impressive in terms of content. It comes with a 3 CD and 1 DVD box set that includes a new 5.1 Surround Sound mix that has never been heard before. It also includes a live concert at the Paramount theatre that was previously unreleased. So, the box set features quite a bit of remastered content as well as new content that has not been released previous to this new edition.

To add to all that content, the box set also comes with a 68 page book that contains an interview with Al Stewart that is all about the 'Year of the Cat' recording! The book has pictures of the time around when the album was made and pictures from the tour of the 'Year of the Cat' album. 

This song was a huge success for Al Stewart as it reached the #5 spot on the Billboard charts in the United States and reached high spots in other countries. To add to this, the song was critically acclaimed and loves by many fans all over the world. 

Al Stewart actually has tour dates planned in edition to this anniversary release! If you are interested in the tour dates and possibly going, you can find all the information about the tour and purchase the tickets on Al Stewart's website!

   - Dear reader, I offer this blog completely for free. If you would like to help support the blog, you can subscribe above, follow in the pull out menu, or share this article with your friends! Thank you! - In and around 2000, the Eagles played a number of concerts in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. These concerts were recorded and put together as the Millennium Concert Collection. This collection has been included in a few other releases but has never been offered on its own and was never offered before on vinyl.  The Millennium Concert is being offered as a single vinyl album that consists of 12 tracks, which are shown below.

This recording features Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schm...

Beginnings: The Ferrari 328

Beginnings: This is the beginning of something beautiful. It is the start of a new community for those who love the art and design of the past and all it has to offer. The cars, the art, the music, and all the vintage design that you could ever want. I have always been interested in the past, specifically in the designs. The cars were beautiful and loud, or elegant and smooth. Then there was the music, there was the Rock and Roll, the Blues, the Jazz, and so much more! The art is always a thing of absolute beauty and it can take the imagination to places so stunning and wild that you may never want to return.

Eagles by The Eagles: Album Review

Author's Note: This is a note that was written after this post was written: I apologize that this article is kind of all over the place. I am still learning how to write about music and bands. Thank you for reading and all feedback is accepted! Just let me know what you think in the comments! The Band: As far as classic rock albums go, this one is by far the most popular! Eagles is an album by the band The Eagles, which is a little egotistical, and is one of the best rock albums, and best albums, of all time. The Eagles were a rock band in the 1970s and a wildly popular one at that. This album was arguably their best album and defined a whole genre of rock and roll for the next 20 years after its release. In this review I will talk about the band, the album, and then go over some of the music on the album! So, without further ado, let's talk about The Eagles! The Eagles are a true American rock band. They were formed in Los Angeles in 1971, just a year before the release of the...
