Pokémon Red and Blue
Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version, originally released in Japan as Pocket Monsters: Red & Green (Japanese: ポケットモンスター 赤・緑, Hepburn: Poketto Monsutā Aka Midori), are role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy. They are the first installments of the Pokémon series. They were first released in Japan in 1996 as Red and Green, with Blue (ポケットモンスター青, Poketto Monsutā Ao) being released later in the year as a special edition. They were later released as Red and Blue in North America, Europe and Australia over the following three years. Pokémon Yellow, a special edition version, was released roughly a year later. Red and Green have subsequently been remade for the Game Boy Advance as Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, released in 2004.
The player controls the main character from an overhead perspective and navigates him throughout the fictional region of Kanto in a quest to master Pokémon battling. The goal of the games is to become the champion of the Pokémon League by defeating the eight Gym Leaders, then the top four Pokémon trainers in the land, the Elite Four. Another objective is to complete the Pokédex, an in-game encyclopedia, by obtaining the 150 available Pokémon. The nefarious Team Rocket provide an antagonistic force, as does the player's childhood rival. Red and Blue utilize the Game Link Cable, which connects two games together and allows Pokémon to be traded or battled between games. Both titles are independent of each other but feature the same plot and, while they can be played separately, it is necessary for players to trade among the two in order to obtain all of the first 150 Pokémon. The 151st Pokémon (Mew) is available only through a glitch in the game or an official distribution by Nintendo.

Red and Blue (album)
Red and Blue is the debut and only album from German singer Cee Farrow.
Background
Originally a model, Farrow found himself signed to Rocshire Records for a full studio album where he worked with producer Andy Lunn and co-wrote various tracks, mainly with Frankfurt/Germany-based keyboardist, composer and producer Lothar Krell.
Recorded at Hotline Studios from March–December 1982, the album was released in 1983 within America only where it failed to gain much commercial success although the lead single "Should I Love You" peaked at #82 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #91 on the Billboard R&B Chart.
A second single "Don't Ask Why" was released on 7" vinyl, whilst "Wildlife Romance" was released which was a promotional 12" vinyl only, unavailable to buy.
The album's original released was on vinyl and cassette only and today the album remains out-of-print, having never been issued on CD or even available to purchase and download online.
The label the album was released under suffered legal problems and all its assets, including master tapes were seized in January 1984. Rocshire Records started with distribution by MCA Records and despite signing a diverse range of artists, the label was shut down by the U.S. Federal Marshalls as Rocshire was financed entirely by millions of dollars that owner Rocky Davis' wife Shirley Davis had embezzled from Hughes Aircraft, while she was working as an accountant there. Master Tapes were confiscated by the Feds, artists left without a home whilst the owners served jail time.
