Ghosts (Siobhán Donaghy Album)
''Ghosts'' is the second (and last) studio album by British singer Siobhán Donaghy. Released on 25 June 2007, the album peaked at #92 on the UK Albums Chart. This album received more media attention than her debut album, but was overall a commercial failure despite receiving excellent critical reviews. The album spawned two singles, "Don't Give It Up (Siobhán Donaghy song), Don't Give It Up" and "So You Say", which were both moderately successful. This is Donaghy's only studio album with Parlophone, as she parted ways with the label in August 2008. Production According to Donaghy, the album was produced while she was living in the house of music producer James Sanger, who was addicted to heroin during their songwriting and recording sessions. "He was a heroin addict when we made this record. That made for quite a fraught working relationship." Donaghy addressed the experience in the "Track by Track" interviews about making the album.

Albums Produced By Marius De Vries
An album is a collection of audio recordings (e.g., music) issued on a medium such as compact disc (CD), vinyl (record), audio tape (like 8-track or cassette), or digital. Albums of recorded sound were developed in the early 20th century as individual 78 rpm records (78s) collected in a bound book resembling a photo 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, being gradually supplanted by the cassette tape throughout the 1970s and early 1980s; the popularity of the cassette reached its peak during the late 1980s before sharply declini ...
