Fanny is the debut album by the American rock group Fanny, released in December 1970 on Reprise.
In 1969, the rock band Wild Honey, featuring sisters Jean and June Millington, bass and guitar, respectively, and drummer Alice de Buhr, were spotted by producer Richard Perry's secretary. Perry arranged a trial session at Wally Heider Studios and concluded, "This is a band that needs to be recorded." The group added keyboardist and singer Nickey Barclay and began recording in early 1970, renaming themselves Fanny. [8] The material included a cover of Cream's single "Badge". [4]
The group were disappointed by Perry's production, feeling it didn't "bring out the best" in the group or reflect their live performances, though this would improve on later albums. [8]
The album was released in December 1970. [9] Robert Christgau gave the album an average review, though he said the cover of "Badge" was "a cute idea". [5] A Canadian pressing of the album used the wrong master tapes, and consequently had a different track listing, including a cover of Maxine Brown's "One Step at a Time". [10]
Real Gone Music re-released the album on CD in 2013. [9] AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote a favourable review, again singling out the cover of "Badge", and comparing the group's sound and arrangements to Badfinger. [4]

Their second album under the Badfinger name, but their first official album under that name, and first to include guitarist Joey Molland, No Dice significantly expanded the British group's popularity, especially abroad. The album included both the hit single "No Matter What" and the song "Without You", which would become a big hit for Harry Nilsson, and later a hit for Mariah Carey.

The album's title is drawn from the 1931 Noël Coward song of the same name and Leon Russell's "Ballad of Mad Dogs and Englishmen". Only four songs of the 16 on the original album were drawn from his first two studio albums. Besides the contributions of bandmate and musical director Leon Russell, it draws equally from rock and soul. Accompanying Cocker is a choir, a three-piece horn section and several drummers.

Two Sides of the Moon is the only solo studio album by the English rock musician Keith Moon, drummer for the Who. It peaked at No. 155 on the Billboard 200.

The album features contributions from Ringo Starr, Harry Nilsson, Joe Walsh of the Eagles, Jim Keltner, Bobby Keys, Klaus Voormann, John Sebastian, Flo & Eddie, Spencer Davis, Dick Dale, Suzi Quatro's sister Patti Quatro, Patti's bandmates from Fanny Jean Millington and Nickey Barclay, and future actor Miguel Ferrer.
