Frank Zappa Does Humor Belong In Music? (1995 Reissue)

Chrissie Hynde Stockholm (2014)
"In her first solo release - depending on how you classify the later Pretenders records - Chrissie Hynde coos, hisses, sing talks and spits out love, lust and loathing in ways only she can. It's impossible to not fall for her, even when you know her emotional knife cuts bloody both ways and quickly."

JP, Chrissie & The Fairground Boys Fidelity! (2010)
"This Chrissie Hynde collaboration with then-lover JP Jones is like listening to a May/September romance with guitars. The vocal fireworks are starry, the courtship a blast and the morning after burnout inevitable."

Rush All The World's A Stage (1976)
