1. Allgemeine Verunsicherung is the first album from the Austrian band Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung. It is actually self-titled, since cardinal numbers followed by a full stop become ordinal numbers: "1." in German translates as "first" as opposed to the number one.

Contents

The album is mainly in German, although some of the titles are in English. As the band had changed its members, the material on this album differs considerably from the music the band later went on to produce.

The album was released only in Austria in 1978 under catalogue number EMI Columbia 12C 054-33230. Because only 1800 records were released, [1] original copies are difficult to find and highly sought after by collectors. [2] The album was reissued on CD in 2015 and on vinyl in 2016. [3]

The song entitled "Pustel Gunkel" makes some reference to Helena Rubinstein.

<i>Rock n Roll Nights</i> 1979 studio album by BTO

Rock n' Roll Nights is the eighth studio album by Canadian rock band BTO, released in 1979. This record was one of three BTO albums that did not feature co-founder Randy Bachman. Rock n' Roll Nights is also one of the two albums from this band to feature Jim Clench, formerly of April Wine. This LP generated worldwide sales of only about 350,000 copies, though a single from the album called "Heartaches" managed to reach #60 on the U.S. charts and cracked the Top 40 in Canada. Rock n' Roll Nights is a rare find on CD, as it was released only for a short time on that format in 1990.
