39 Steps (album)
39 Steps is an album by guitarist John Abercrombie with pianist Marc Copland, bassist Drew Gress, and drummer Joey Baron recorded in 2013 and released on the ECM label.
Reception
The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek states, "Abercrombie's 39 Steps offers the sound of a veteran quartet playing at the height of its individual members' intuitive and collective abilities". On All About Jazz Andrew Luhn said "Fans of Abercrombie's playing won't be disappointed by this album and neither will fans of the ECM record label. It's a great addition to his growing body of work and Marc Copland proves to be a good choice with whom Abercrombie to collaborate" and John Kelman noted "As good as their previous recordings together have been, 39 Steps represents a major leap forward for Abercrombie and Copland's relationship, even as the guitarist returns to the piano-based configuration that was his first touring context, back in the late '70s".

39 Steps (band)
39 Steps were a Canadian alternative rock/punk rock band from Montreal, Quebec best known for their single "Slip into the Crowd", a song they originally performed in the late 1970s as The 222s, which they are featured playing in the Woody Allen film Hannah and Her Sisters in a scene set at CBGB's NYC.
Their name is taken from the classic work The Thirty-Nine Steps.
Status
The band is no longer active. Lead singer and principal songwriter Chris Barry reunited with his first well known band, The 222s in 2010 for a short series of stellar performances in Montreal and Toronto. As of the summer of 2014 the 222s were still occasionally playing festival gigs in Canada, the most recent being the annual FME festival in Rouyn Noranda, Quebec where they played to a sell-out crowd on a split-bill with the Vibrators.
History
Motion Picture Association of America film rating system
The Motion Picture Association of America's (MPAA) film-rating system is used in the United States and its territories to rate a film's suitability for certain audiences, based on its content. The MPAA rating system is a voluntary scheme that is not enforced by law; films can be exhibited without a rating, though many theaters refuse to exhibit non-rated or NC-17 rated films. Non-members of MPAA may also submit films for rating. Other media (such as television programs and video games) may be rated by other entities. The MPAA rating system is one of various motion picture rating systems that are used to help parents decide what films are appropriate for their children.
The MPAA's rating system is administered by the Classification & Ratings Administration (CARA), an independent agency.

Other labels
If a film has not been submitted for a rating or is an uncut version of a film that was submitted, the labels Not Rated (NR) or Unrated (UR) are often used. Uncut/extended versions of films that are labeled "Unrated" also contain warnings saying that the uncut version of the film contains content that differs from the theatrical release and may not be suitable for minors.
