  • Sonic Brew

    Sonic Brew is the debut studio album by American heavy metal band Black Label Society, released on October 28, 1998 in Japan and May 4, 1999 in the US by Spitfire Records. Unlike the albums that followed, this album still possessed a distinct Southern rock overtone that up to this time had predominated Zakk Wylde's solo writing style. The album was initially released in Japan on October 28, 1998. It contained 13 tracks (lacking "Lost My Better Half" and "No More Tears"); the cover art was printed on clear plastic, with a separate paper booklet. The back cover was printed with golden ink, and the packaging was, overall, a lot higher quality than all later versions.

    There was a long delay before it was released outside Japan, because the drums and vocals were buried on some of the tracks towards the end of the disc, so it was collectively decided to remix it for the US release. Due to the delay, Wylde and drummer Phil Ondich decided to give the USA an added bonus and went to the studio in California and recorded the aggressive "Lost My Better Half" as a one-off bonus track for the album - the recording of which reportedly prompted Wylde to pursue a heavier direction for the band's music thereafter. Sonic Brew was finally released on May 4, 1999 with a standard gloss-printed booklet. Early copies came packed with a free Zakk Wylde guitar pick.

    Obsession (UFO album)

    Obsession is the seventh studio album by the British rock band UFO, released in 1978. This was the final studio album to feature Michael Schenker on lead guitar until he returned to the band in 1993. A single from the album, "Only You Can Rock Me" / "Cherry", was also released in 1978. So too was the band's first 3-track EP "Only You Can Rock Me", "Cherry" / "Rock Bottom", reaching No. 50 in the UK.

    2008 EMI's remastered edition includes 3 bonus live tracks, and also some writing credits are corrected.

    Born To Lose

    by: LeAnn Rimes

    Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain
    Every dream I dreamed has only brought me pain
    All my life, I've always been so blue
    Born to lose, and now I'm losing you.
    Born to lose, it seems so hard to bear
    How I long to always have you near
    You've grown tired, and now you say we're through
    Born to lose, and now I'm losing you.
    Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain
    Every dream I dreamed has only brought me pain
    All my life, I've always been so blue
    Born to lose, and now I'm losing you
