Chilliwack is the first album by the Canadian rock band Chilliwack, released in June 1970. Chilliwack was a continuation of the psychedelic-progressive group The Collectors, except without lead singer Howie Vickers.
Chilliwack is a Canadian rock band centered on the singer and guitarist Bill Henderson. They were active from 1970 to 1988; Henderson re-formed the band in 1997. The band started off with a progressive rock sound that incorporated elements of folk, indigenous, jazz and blues, before moving towards a more straight-ahead hard rock/pop rock sound by the mid-1970s. Their six best-selling songs were "My Girl ", "I Believe", "Whatcha Gonna Do", "Fly at Night", "Crazy Talk" and "Lonesome Mary". The band's line-up has changed many times.
Best of Bee Gees is a 1969 compilation album by the English-Australian rock band Bee Gees. It was their first international greatest hits album. It featured their singles from 1966–1969 with the exception of the band's 1968 single "Jumbo".
The Collectors was a Canadian psychedelic rock band active in the 1960s.
"Just as Long as We're Together" is Prince's second single released from his 1978 debut album For You. The coda is an instrumental track originally called "Jelly Jam" that was added to the main track, and modified over time to blend into it.
Idea is the fifth album by the Bee Gees. Released in September 1968, the album sold over a million copies worldwide. The album was issued in both mono and stereo pressings in the UK. The artwork on the Polydor release designed by Wolfgang Heilemann featured a "beehive" neon lightbulb with a group photo in its base, while the North American ATCO release designed by Klaus Voormann featured a composite head made from each band member. It was their third internationally released album – the first two albums being released only in the Australian market.
"I've Gotta Get a Message to You" is a song by the Bee Gees. Released as a single in 1968, it was their second number-one hit in the UK Singles Chart, and their first US Top 10 hit. Barry Gibb re-recorded the song with Keith Urban for his 2021 album Greenfields.
Chilliwack is a double album by the Canadian rock band Chilliwack, released in September 1971. It was their second album, and their second to be entitled Chilliwack. It included the top-10 hit "Lonesome Mary".
Riding High is the fourth album by the Canadian rock band Chilliwack, released in Canada in April 1974. It was the band's first album with new guitarist/keyboardist Howard Froese, and contained the top-10 hit "Crazy Talk", which was co-produced by Terry Jacks of Poppy Family fame. In Canada, the album was released on Jacks' label Goldfish Records; in the U.S., it was not released until 1975 on Sire Records, where it was retitled Chilliwack.
Rockerbox is the fifth album by the Canadian rock band Chilliwack, released in December 1975. The album was released by Sire Records in the US, who had previously released the US version of Chilliwack's prior album, Riding High. In Canada, Rockerbox was released with a different cover by Casino Records and was Chilliwack's least successful album there. The album was produced by Sire Records' staff producers Craig Leon and Richard Gottehrer, who were better known for rock productions; as a result, it has a reputation as Chilliwack's most straight-ahead "rock" album.
Dreams, Dreams, Dreams is the sixth album by the Canadian rock band Chilliwack. This was the eighth album done by the band's core of Bill Henderson, Glenn Miller and Ross Turney, and the third with Howard Froese. After Chilliwack's failure to find an audience with Rockerbox, this album marked the band's return to the top 10 in Canada with "Fly at Night", while "California Girl" and "Baby Blue" were also Top 40 hits there. "Rain-O" was a remake of Chilliwack's first hit. Dreams, Dreams, Dreams was the first Canadian Platinum album for the band.
Lights from the Valley is the seventh album by the Canadian rock band Chilliwack, released in June 1978; the album marked the recording debut of Brian MacLeod with the band, while serving as the swan song for founding Chilliwack members Glenn Miller and Ross Turney. In November 1978, Lights from the Valley was certified Platinum in Canada.

Grass and Wild Strawberries, released in 1969, is an album by the Canadian rock band The Collectors. The songs were written as part of prominent Canadian playwright George Ryga's stage play Grass and Wild Strawberries. The distinctly literary lyrics were written by Ryga. The song "Seventeenth Summer" was later re-recorded by Chilliwack and an extended jam based on it became a feature of their live performance. The fast-paced "Early Morning" was released as a single but did not become a major hit, reaching #84 on the RPM Magazine chart on July 12, 1969.

"Don Alfonso" is the second UK single by musician Mike Oldfield, released in 1975. Side 1 has an additional credit: "featuring David Bedford on vocals". This is a comic novelty song from the 20th century, sung by a boasting, bogus toreador, who seems to know very little about bullfighting.
"Let Me Take You Dancing" is a song co-written and recorded by Canadian artist Bryan Adams. It was written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance and was later remixed by John Luongo. It is notable for being Adams' first solo single and his first ever release as a solo artist when he was 19.
