Wish You Were Here (Badfinger album)

Wish You Were Here is the sixth album by rock band Badfinger and their third consecutive album produced by Chris Thomas. It was recorded in the spring of 1974 at Colorado's Caribou Ranch and released in November of that year on Warner Bros. Records. Wish You Were Here was the second and last album the band released on the Warner's label.

History

Although the album received a favourable review in Rolling Stone magazine and is sometimes considered to be the band's best work, it was withdrawn from record stores in early 1975, seven weeks after release, because of a lawsuit between Warner music publishing and Badfinger's management. The album's abbreviated manufacturing run and short tenure on the market has made the original LP relatively rare.

Before being recalled, Wish You Were Here had time enough to chart, peaking at number 148 in the United States. In the 1990s it was re-released in CD format in Japan and Germany only. The album was eventually issued on CD in the US in 2007. Many of the tracks have appeared on Badfinger compilation albums.

Dennis (automobile)

Dennis Company is a former brass era automobile maker based in Guildford, Britain.

History

Originally known as Dennis Brothers Ltd, the company was founded in 1895 by John (1871–1939) and Raymond Dennis (1878–1939). The brothers who made Speed King bicycles which they sold from their shop, the Universal Athletic Stores, in Guildford.

They made their first motor vehicle in 1898, a De Dion-powered tricycle which they exhibited at the National Cycle Show, which they offered for sale, along with a quadricycle. In 1899, the first Dennis car proper appeared, the Speed-King Light Doctors' Car, a four-wheeler with a 3.5 hp (2.6 kW; 3.5 PS) a rear-mounted de Dion engine and three-speed gearbox for speeds of 4–10 mph (6.4–16.1 km/h). Intended for use on unpaved roads by the likes of doctors, surveyors, or travelling salesmen, it had an offering price of ₤135; though shown at the National Cycle Show, it was never produced or sold.

At the 1900 National Cycle Show, Dennis displayed only motor tricycles and quadricycles, with the tricycles claimed to be capable of a (then-remarkable) 30 mph (48 km/h), three times Britain's speed limit. The next year, a 3.5 hp (2.6 kW; 3.5 PS) de Dion engine was offered in the tricycle, while there was a choice of two light cars, both with tube frames, three-speed gearbox, and shaft drive: an 8 hp (6.0 kW; 8.1 PS) de Dion single and a 12 hp (8.9 kW; 12 PS) Aster twin. About this time John Dennis built the Rodboro Buildings, the first purpose-built motor vehicle factory in Britain, to manufacture motorcars in the town centre.

Bailando!

Bailando! is a special promotional CD release by pop singer Gloria Estefan.

Released in 1998, Bailando! was sold only in Target department stores as a promotion for the Gloria! album. A complementary English-language remix single, Party Time!, was released at the same time, again sold only at Target. Both are now considered rare by collectors.

There is only one track on the CD: "The Bailando Megamix." a 22-minute megamix of seven of Gloria's biggest Latin hits up to that point, including only one song in English-Language (Higher). Several of these songs were redone in a House or Techno style. The medley was also included in the Cuba Libre single released in Spain.

Bailando (Slovakia)

Bailando por un Sueñois is a popular Argentine TV series where celebrities dance with their non-celebrity “dreamer” (man or woman) who must be an amateur dancer. The amateur is accompanied by the celebrity as they perform dance dance routines.

After poor ratings, Markíza changed Bailando to Let's Dance for the next season. Winners of Bailando then became part of the first international competition for Bailando por un Sueño: Primer Campeonato Internacional de Baile. However, as Viktória Ráková was unable to represent Solvakia at the time due to work conflicts, runner-up team Patrik Švajda with his partner Mária Lörinčíková represented Slovakia and finished in 4th place.
