Cartoone was the debut album by the Scottish group Cartoone. The album is notable for featuring Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin as guest artist.

Album collection of recorded music, words, sounds

An album is a collection of audio recordings issued as a collection on compact disc (CD), vinyl, audio tape, or another medium. Albums of recorded music were developed in the early 20th century as individual 78-rpm records collected in a bound book resembling a photograph album; this format evolved after 1948 into single vinyl LP records played at ​33 13 rpm. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though album sales in the 21st-century have mostly focused on CD and MP3 formats. The audio cassette was a format used alongside vinyl from the 1970s into the first decade of the 2000s.

Contents

The album has an inside cover which contains the full lyrics of the songs on the right and the following note from June Harris: "There's a new kind of musical excitement, and it's coming from this remarkable album by four boys from England (formerly Scotland) called Cartoone, more specifically Derek Creigan, Mike Allison, Charles Mo Trowers and Chick E. Coffils. You can't put a tag on the music within these twelve tracks, but they do provide an excellent illustration of the joint capabilities of Cartoone as a self contained unit who write and perform all their own material. Cartoone has created a sound of its own - Melodic, poetic and with great attention paid to detail. It's a fresh, different sound, as new as the group itself. Listen. Cartoone is saying something which clearly needs no further explanation."

Cartoone was released on CD in June 2009, with bonus tracks from the band's unreleased second album. The Cartoone Deluxe Edition CD was released by Friday Music in the UK on 26 October 2009.

Compact disc Optical disc for storage and playback of digital audio

Compact disc (CD) is a digital optical disc data storage format that was co-developed by Philips and Sony and released in 1982. The format was originally developed to store and play only sound recordings (CD-DA) but was later adapted for storage of data (CD-ROM). Several other formats were further derived from these, including write-once audio and data storage (CD-R), rewritable media (CD-RW), Video Compact Disc (VCD), Super Video Compact Disc (SVCD), Photo CD, PictureCD, CD-i, and Enhanced Music CD. The first commercially available audio CD player, the Sony CDP-101, was released October 1982 in Japan.

<i>See All Her Faces</i> 1972 studio album by Dusty Springfield

See All Her Faces is the seventh studio album by singer Dusty Springfield, originally released on the Philips Records label in 1972. It contains a mixture of tracks from different recording sessions; some tracks were recorded with Jeff Barry for an aborted third album for Atlantic Records, other tracks were recorded for Philips in the UK between April and July 1970 – these came to be Springfield's final recordings with longtime producer and arranger Johnny Franz. Some, such as "Willie and Laura Mae Jones", recorded with Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd and Arif Mardin, had been previously released as singles in the US. See All Her Faces collects many of those tracks, recorded from 1969 to 1971, placing seven of the British recordings on Side A, while Side B comprises tracks recorded both in the UK and the US. As a result, the album has no cohesive sound, but offers many different styles of music. The album boasts eight producers, including Springfield herself. It has been suggested that See All Her Faces is best appreciated track by track, rather than as a whole stylistic statement, as her album Dusty in Memphis is often praised to be.
