Four CD set. 1982 was a stellar year in pop music. We have already included a fantastic selection on the 1982 Yearbook, the 80-84 Final Chapter, and the 'vinyl extras' so far in our appreciation of the year. Those tracks were generally the bigger hits of the year, with their chart achievement a factor in their inclusion - however - that's not the whole singles story of the year, and our celebration of 1982 wouldn't be complete without shining a light on some of that year's singles that have been compiled much less frequently over the past 40 years. Welcome to THE VAULT for 1982. Some of the tracks included were Top 40 hits, some missed the chart completely. Some were representative of massive selling albums, and some were big hits in the U.S. and not in the U.K, but all are part of the wonderful pop story of 1982. Includes tracks by The Cure, Bauhaus, David Sylvian & Ryuichi Sakamoto, The Police, The Who, Steve Winwood, Elton John, Elvis Costello, The Clash, Theatre Of Hate, The Teardrop Explodes, Mike Oldfield, Culture Club, Spandau Ballet, Level 42, Bananarama, Toyah, Visage, Blancmange, Zaine Griff, Afrika Bambaataa & The Soul Sonic Force, George Clinton, Dazz Band, Blue Rondo A La Turk, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, John Mellencamp, and many others.

Well-known to musical theater fans in London's West End, Maria Friedman made her Broadway debut in Andrew Lloyd Webber's short-lived THE WOMAN IN WHITE. Deftly turning lemons into lemonade, Friedman then ensconced herself at New York's Cafe Carlyle with a well-received cabaret act devoted to the music of Stephen Sondheim, a composer whose work she has had some experience with both on stage (PASSION, SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE) and in the recording studio (A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC).
Now, Sony Classical has decided the time is right for Maria Friedman to become better-known stateside. NOW AND THEN, the singer's American solo debut, is largely made up of tracks recorded in 1995 for her first solo album in the U.K. Though only two of the tracks are newly recorded (including one with piano accompaniment by Sondheim himself), the whole CD invites the listener to give this talented Brit a long-overdue welcome.
"Friedman . . . knows how to sing, she knows how to act, and she knows how to interpret songs. 'I Happen to Like New York' is jubilant. . . . Friedman's take on Arlen and Gershwin’s 'The Man that Got Away' packs an emotional wallop. . . . [With 'Finishing the Hat,'] Friedman gives us a riveting portrait of the inner artist." - PLAYBILL
