Come Upstairs
''Come Upstairs'' is the ninth studio album by American singer-songwriter Carly Simon, released by Warner Bros. Records, on June 16, 1980. It was the first of her three albums for Warner Bros. and it has a harder, more rock-oriented sound than her previous albums. Whereas those earlier records were prime examples of the singer-songwriter genre, with soft-rocking arrangements primarily built around piano and/or acoustic guitar accompaniment, ''Come Upstairs'' uses electric guitars and synthesizers prominently. The album reached No. 36 on the ''Billboard'' 200. The first single released from the album was "Jesse", an acoustic ballad that was more in the style of Simon's earlier work rather than an example of her new sound.

Self Portrait (Bob Dylan Album)
''Self Portrait'' is the tenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on June 8, 1970, by Columbia Records. ''Self Portrait'' was Dylan's second double album (after '' Blonde on Blonde''), and features many cover versions of well-known pop and folk songs. Also included are a handful of instrumentals and original compositions. Most of the album is sung in the affected country crooning voice that Dylan had introduced a year earlier on ''Nashville Skyline''. Seen by some as intentionally surreal and even satirical at times, ''Self Portrait'' received extremely poor reviews. Dylan has stated in interviews that ''Self Portrait'' was something of a joke, far below the standards he set in the 1960s, and was made to end the "spokesman of a generation" label that critics had put on him. Despite the negative critical reception, the album quickly went gold in the US, where it hit No. 4, and was also a UK No. 1 hit. The album saw a retrospective positive re-evaluation ...
