Glyph is an album released by Floater in May 1995.
 Engineered and mixed by the Grammy-nominated Drew Canulette (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Neil Young).
 "Glyph" received a preliminary Grammy nomination in the category of Best Alternative Performance.
 The album was initially intended to be an EP featuring leftover songs that never made it onto the Sink album.
 Some of the tracks, such as The Sad Ballad of Danny Boy, The Face of Order, and Dead, were previously recorded on the Sink demo tape prior to the release of the Sink album.
 Later, though, additional tracks were added, blending the entire album into one complete, seamless audio experience.
 The hit single is "The Sad Ballad of Danny Boy" which received national radio play on Z Rock stations.
 The album is also the first time that Peter Cornett debuted a track featuring his vocals.
 "Bottle" would not be his last either, as he again appeared on the Acoustics album.
 Two versions of Glyph are known to exist.
 The first press, which had a very limited release, has the same artwork as on both albums, but the fonts appear to be a white Arial, with "Floater" and "Glyph" on the cover, and no title on the disc.
 The disc artwork matches the artwork found on the cover.
 The inside tray also has the same artwork as the cover.
 The fourth track "Silt" was renamed "Midnight Ride" when released on the second pressing, and was six seconds longer than "Midnight Ride".
 The second press, which is the most common, has a yellow/gold font and shows an Egyptian hieroglyph which represents rejoicing, support, or exaltation, the same is on the disc art.
 The inside tray art is different and has the glyph symbol with a different background than the original release.
 Some of the earlier releases of the second press of Glyph also included a paper flyer (the same size as the cover) inserted with the disc promoting the previous album Sink.
Johnny Cash Sings the Ballads of the True West is a conceptual double album and the 22nd overall album released by country singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1965 (see 1965 in music).
 Covering twenty individual songs, the album, as its title suggests, contains various ballads and other songs on topics related to the history of the American Old West.
 This includes Carl Perkins' "The Ballad of Boot Hill", "Streets of Laredo", and the sole single from the album, "Mr. Garfield", describing the shock of the population after the assassination of President James Garfield.
 One of the songs, "25 Minutes to Go", would later be performed at Folsom Prison and appear on Cash's famous "At Folsom Prison" recording in 1968, while the melody of "Streets of Laredo" would be recycled for the song "The Walls of a Prison" featured on Cash's album "From Sea to Shining Sea".
My Worlds: The Collection is the first compilation album released by Canadian recording artist Justin Bieber.
 As the international alternative to the Walmart and Sam's Club exclusive "My Worlds Acoustic" (2010), "My Worlds: The Collection" was released in numerous European countries on November 19, 2010.
 The album consists of two discs; the first is a slightly altered version of "My Worlds Acoustic", and the second is "My Worlds", a compilation itself made up of "My World" (2009) and "My World 2.0" (2010).
 In addition, the album also features a new song, an inspirational ballad entitled "Pray", a Jaden Smith collaboration, "Never Say Never", and remixes of "Somebody to Love".
 The new versions of the songs were produced by Bieber's music director, Dan Kanter, his vocal producer Kuk Harrell, and also producer Rob Wells.
 While most reviewers complimented the set , several thought that its release was unneeded.
 The album charted moderately in Europe, reaching the top half of several album charts.
Sunday's Child is a John Martyn album released in 1975.
 John Martyn's follow-up to 1973's "Inside Out" is a more song-oriented, less experimental album.
 His eighth record, including two with his wife Beverley Martyn, shows the many facets of Martyn's playing, from his effects-driven electric guitar to his acoustic work.
 This album contains a collection of original songs along with a pair of covers: the traditional British ballad "Spencer the Rover", and the country standard "Satisfied Mind".
 The song "The Message" features a pair of verses written by Martyn sung in his typical style, alternating with a pair of verses from the Scottish folk ballad "Mairi's Wedding" sung with a Scottish lilt.
Tasty is the second solo album released by recording artist Patti LaBelle, her second solo album with Epic Records.
 Compared to the success of her debut album, released the previous year, the album performed only modestly well but featured the popular tunes "Eyes in the Back of My Head", which became a club hit, the Latin soul flavored "Teach Me Tonight (Me Gusta Tu Baile)", the David Lasley composition "I See Home" (later covered a year later by Tina Turner) and the ballad "Little Girls".
 "Eyes in the Back of My Head" became an international hit reaching the top five of the Italian singles chart.
 The album also featured covers of songs by Boz Scaggs, The Drifters and Roy Hamilton in addition to a couple songs co-written by LaBelle herself, including "Teach Me Tonight" and "Quiet Time".
"Waterfalls" is a Paul McCartney ballad from his first solo album after Wings, "McCartney II".
 The song has a stripped-down sound, with McCartney only playing a Fender Rhodes electric piano and a synthesizer and singing, and a short solo most likely played on an acoustic guitar.
 It was released as a single with "Check My Machine" as its B-Side and reached chart position #9 in the UK.
 In the US, however, it was his first single ever to miss the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart, only reaching number 106 despite being the follow-up to the number one hit "Coming Up".
 In 2013, "Rolling Stone" rated it the #25 all-time Paul McCartney post-Beatles song, describing how it contrasted with Wings' prior single.
