Moseley Shoals Records is an independent record label in the United Kingdom.  The company was set up by British rock band Ocean Colour Scene in 2004, so that they could release their "Live Acoustic at the Jam House" album.  The name Moseley Shoals is taken from their breakthrough second album "Moseley Shoals".  Moseley is an area of Birmingham where the band formed, and they named their recording studio Moseley Shoals in deference to Muscle Shoals Sound recording studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Understanding is the fourth studio album by American musician Bobby Womack.  The album was released on March 30, 1972, by United Artists Records.  Womack recorded "Understanding" in Memphis, Tennessee at American Sound Studio and in Muscle Shoals Sound Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.  At Muscle Shoals, he utilized top session players, including drummer Roger Hawkins, guitarists Jimmy Johnson and Tippy Armstrong, bassist David Hood and keyboardist Barry Beckett. Jimmy Johnson (born February 4, 1943, Sheffield, Alabama) is a member of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section who was attached to FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, for a period in the 1960s.  In 1969, with the backing of Atlantic Records executive Jerry Wexler, Johnson became a co-founder of the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, along with the drummer Roger Hawkins, the bassist David Hood, and the keyboardist Barry Beckett.  The studio was originally located at 3614 Jackson Highway in Sheffield and later moved to 1000 Alabama Avenue, also in Sheffield.  Johnson worked as a record producer and as a guitarist.

Muscle Shoals Sound Studio at 3614 Jackson Highway in Sheffield, Alabama was formed in 1969 by four session musicians called The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section (and affectionately called The Swampers) who had left Rick Hall's nearby FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals to create their own recording facility.  The group closed the Jackson Highway studio in 1979, moving the operation to 1000 Alabama Avenue.  The old studio has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since June 2006.  It was partly restored in the early 2000s and was sold to the Muscle Shoals Music Foundation in 2013.  This group completed a major restoration and the location reopened on January 9, 2017.  The Alabama Avenue location ceased operations in 2005 when it was sold to a record label. FAME (Florence Alabama Music Enterprises) Studios are located at 603 East Avalon Avenue in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, an area of northern Alabama known as the Shoals.  Though small and distant from the main recording locations of the American music industry, FAME has produced a large number of hit records and was instrumental in what came to be known as the Muscle Shoals sound.  It was started in the 1950s by Rick Hall, known as the Founder of Muscle Shoals Music.  The studio, still owned by Hall, is still actively operating.  It was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on December 15, 1997, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.  The 2013 award-winning documentary "Muscle Shoals" features Rick Hall, the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section (also called The Swampers), and the Muscle Shoals sound originally popularized by FAME. Jesse Willard "Pete" Carr (born April 22, 1950) is an American guitarist.  Carr has contributed to hit recordings by Joan Baez, Luther Ingram, Bob Seger, Joe Cocker, Boz Scaggs, Paul Simon, The Staple Singers, Rod Stewart, Barbra Streisand, Wilson Pickett, Hank Williams, Jr., and many more over the past four decades.  He has also recorded and produced four solo albums and was half of the duet LeBlanc and Carr.  Carr has recorded extensively at FAME Recording Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Sheffield, Alabama.  He was lead guitarist for the famed Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section.  Carr is known for versatility, using both electric and acoustic guitars to perform a vast array of musical styles including folk, rock, pop, country, blues and soul.

They have appeared on more than 500 recordings, including 75 gold and platinum hits.  Originally the house band at Rick Hall's FAME Studios, the group went on to found their own competing business, the famed Muscle Shoals Sound Studios.  The group was inducted into the Nashville-based Musicians Hall of Fame in 2008 and into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in 1995, "as four of the finest studio musicians in the world", also receiving the Lifework Award in 2008. Britney Spears: Live and More!  (stylized as britney spears: live and more!)  is the second video album by American recording artist Britney Spears.  It was released on VHS on November 21, 2000 and later re-issued on DVD alongside Spears' first home video release, "Time Out with Britney Spears" on February 13, 2001.  This video tracks Britney Spears on her much-publicized visit to Hawaii for her "Crazy 2K Tour".  Spears, polished and sophisticated beyond her years, tours the island with a mix of sightseeing, fan appearances, and live performances.  The camera follows her as she practices with her dancers, hangs out with friends, and even attempts to hula dance.  The highlight, is the culminating live performance where Britney performs some of her greatest hits like "Oops! ...I Did It Again, "(You Drive Me) Crazy", and "...Baby One More Time".  Although the DVD peaked at number four (#4) in the U.S., the DVD has been certified 3x platinum.  In France the DVD was certified platinum, meaning that it sold over 20,000 copies, and worldwide sold over 500.000 copies.
