It Ain't Over... is an album by British pop rock band The Outfield, released in 1998. As the follow-up to their 1992 effort Rockeye (their last on a major label; in this case, MCA) this stood in sharp contrast, being their debut for an independent label, Warning Tracks. [1]
All tracks by John Spinks except where noted.
The Magic Garden is the second album by the American pop group the 5th Dimension, released in 1967. A concept album, it tells the story of a couple's love and the end of their relationship. In more recent discussions of the album, that love affair is said to be about Jimmy Webb — who composed all but one of the album's songs — and his time with singer and then-girlfriend Susan Horton. The album's one track not credited to Jimmy Webb, a cover of Lennon–McCartney's "Ticket to Ride", was originally intended for the group's debut album, Up, Up and Away.
The Outfield were an English rock band based in London. The band achieved success in the mid-1980s and are best remembered for their hit single, "Your Love". The band's lineup consisted of guitarist John Spinks, vocalist and bassist Tony Lewis, and drummer Alan Jackman.
Fall Out Boy's Evening Out with Your Girlfriend is the debut mini-LP and the second extended play (EP) by American rock band Fall Out Boy. Recorded in two days around February to September 2002 on a low budget, the rushed schedule left the band discontent and ceasing to call it their debut album. Fall Out Boy's Evening Out with Your Girlfriend was released in 2003 through Uprising Records against the band's wishes. In 2005, Uprising released a remastered reissue as Evening Out with Your Girlfriend, without the band's involvement, following the band's very successful major label debut From Under the Cork Tree. It eventually sold over 127,000 copies in the United States by August 2008, according to Billboard. The photograph on the cover of this album was shot by Adeet Deshmukh in Chicago's Pick Me Up Café located at 3408 N. Clark Street. The girl who is pictured on the cover is a waitress at said café, and her name is Lavinia, as noted in the booklet of the album.
Play Deep is the debut studio album by English rock band the Outfield, released on 12 August 1985 by Columbia Records. The album received widespread popularity with the success of their debut single, "Say It Isn't So", which reached number 18 on the U.S. rock chart, and the follow-up single, "Your Love", which reached number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1986. Play Deep peaked at number 9 on the U.S. albums chart and was later certified double Platinum. In total, four of the tracks reached the charts: the aforementioned two, along with "Everytime You Cry" and "All the Love".
Any Time Now is an album by British rock band The Outfield. Two versions of this album were released: one sold exclusively through the band's Web site and Tower Records, and the other issued by Sidewinder Records and distributed to music retail stores everywhere. The latter version included eight tracks from the Exclusive Web Edition plus four new songs— "Wasted", "Long Walk Back ", "I Can't Wait", and "Peace." The album's only single, "It's All About Love", was initially released as an EP in 2003 and used to heavily promote the album prior to its release; yet, the track received only limited airplay in a few select markets and in cities the band played while on tour. The Exclusive Web Edition includes new material recorded from 2002 to 2004 as well as alternate mixes of some previously released material included as bonus tracks. The most notable bonus track was "Tiny Lights ," which was a re-recorded studio version of a seminal fan favorite that was first released as the B-side to "Everytime You Cry" in 1986. With 17 tracks, the original version of "Any Time Now" has become a highly sought-after collector's item and is now very difficult to find.
