This is the discography of Apple Records,a record label formed by the Beatles in 1968. During its early years,the label enjoyed a fair degree of commercial success,most notably with Mary Hopkin and Badfinger,as well as discovering acts such as James Taylor,Hot Chocolate and Billy Preston who would go on to greater success with other labels. However,by the mid-1970s,Apple had become little more than an outlet for the Beatles' solo recordings. After EMI's contract with the Beatles ended in 1976,the Apple label was finally wound up. The label was reactivated in the 1990s with many of the original Apple albums being reissued on compact disc,and the company now oversees new Beatles releases such as the Anthology and 1 albums as well as the 2009 Beatles remastering programme. In 2010,Apple set about remastering and reissuing its back catalogue for a second time.
Exodus is the ninth studio album by Jamaican reggae band Bob Marley and the Wailers,first released in June 1977 through Island Records,following Rastaman Vibration (1976). The album's production has been characterized as laid-back with pulsating bass beats and an emphasis on piano,trumpet and guitar. Unlike previous albums from the band,Exodus thematically moves away from cryptic story-telling;instead it revolves around themes of change,religious politics,and sexuality. The album is split into two halves:the first half revolves around religious politics,while the second half is focused on themes of making love and keeping faith.
An album is a collection of audio recordings issued on compact disc (CD),vinyl,audio tape,or another medium such as digital distribution. Albums of recorded sound were developed in the early 20th century as individual 78 rpm records collected in a bound book resembling a photo album;this format evolved after 1948 into single vinyl long-playing (LP) records played at 33+1⁄3 rpm.
Liner notes are the writings found on the sleeves of LP record albums and in booklets that come inserted into the compact disc jewel case or cassette j-cards.
