Organic Bondage is the third album by Wild Willy Barrett and only one with Stephen Two-Names released in 1986.
In 1986,having not released an album for 5 years,Barrett teamed up with bassist Stephen Two-Names. Due to Barrett's ethic of making over buying,most of the instruments featured on the album were made by some men in Bristol,credited as "Gnomes". The scratching sound on "Jack O' Diamonds" is a tape of Two-Names singing in the bath dragged across a tape-head. [1]
Once the album had been recorded,Barrett bought loads of sheets of plywood and made 100 wooden sleeves; [2] the yellow coloured insert and record would slide in to the sleeve through the side. [3] Subsequent pressings were released in a standard grey coloured record sleeve although the content of the vinyl,and the label,were the same.
The album's launch was at a pub in Aylesbury.
Most of the material on the album was written by frequent collaborator Eddie Stanton. Stanton had written "The Young and the Free" which had been recorded by Vietnamese Rose and John Otway and would later provide the seminal "Focke Wolfe" for "The Wimp and The Wild". In fact half of the songs on the album were taken from Stanton's abandoned "Please Don't Throw Me To The Christians" album.
All tracks are written by Barrett and Stanton except where stated.

It was released on 13 June 1969 in the United Kingdom by EMI Columbia and on 9 August 1969 in the United States by Tower Records.

Tonight's the Night is the sixth studio album by Canadian / American songwriter Neil Young. It was recorded in August–September 1973, mostly on August 26, but its release was delayed until June 1975. It peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard 200. In 2003, the album was ranked number 331 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, moving up to number 330 in the list's 2012 edition and climbing further to number 302 in the 2020 update. The album is the third and final of the so-called "Ditch Trilogy" of albums that Young released following the major success of 1972's Harvest, whereupon the scope of his success and acclaim became so difficult for Young to handle that he subsequently experienced alienation from his music and career.
