The Mirror (Spooky Tooth Album)
''The Mirror'' is an album by the British rock band Spooky Tooth. It was the only Spooky Tooth album to be released without contributions from Mike Harrison. It also was their last album for nearly twenty-five years, until '' Cross Purpose'' in 1999. ''The Mirror'' was released in October 1974, one month before group members had permanently disbanded. Members went on to form such bands as Foreigner and The Only Ones. Reception In his review for AllMusic, Jason Anderson rates the album four stars out of five, and writes that "Elements of pop and gospel/R&B are all combined into a seamless rock delivery on The Mirror, giving the record a depth that is rare in the Spooky Tooth catalog." In 2000, the album was re-released by Dressed to Kill Records with a completely different cover and imagery, plus a different sequencing of songs, as ''Comic Violence''. The title track "The Mirror" was sampled in Atmosphere's seminal track "Trying to Find a Balance" of their 2003 album ''Sev ...

Spooky Tooth

Albums Produced By Eddie Kramer
An album is a collection of audio recordings issued on compact disc (CD), vinyl, audio tape, or another medium such as digital distribution. Albums of recorded sound were developed in the early 20th century as individual 78 rpm records collected in a bound book resembling a photograph album; this format evolved after 1948 into single vinyl long-playing (LP) records played at rpm. The album was the dominant form of recorded music expression and consumption from the mid-1960s to the early 21st century, a period known as the album era. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though album sales in the 21st-century have mostly focused on CD and MP3 formats. The 8-track tape was the first tape format widely used alongside vinyl from 1965 until being phased out by 1983 and was gradually supplanted by the cassette tape during the 1970s and early 1980s; the popularity of the cassette reached its peak during the late 1980s, sharply declined during the 1990s and had largely disappeared du ...
