Released (Jade Warrior album)

Released is the second studio album by British band Jade Warrior. It follows a progressive rock trend rather than the ultimately ethnic and worldly sound of their previous album.

From Jade Warriors web site:

Jade Warriors second album is a study in contrasts. Powerful, straight forward rock compositions such as 'Three-Horned Dragon King' and 'We Have Reason To Believe' have been paired with gentle ballads of 'Bride Of Summer' and 'Yellow Eyes' along with the jazzy instrumentals 'Water Curtain Cave' and the extended brass-enriched jam 'Barazinbar'.
Released (Patti LaBelle album)

Released is the fourth studio solo album released by recording artist Patti LaBelle. LaBelle's final album released by Epic, she would later sign with Philadelphia International Records. The album featured the hits "I Don't Go Shopping", written by previous collaborator David Lasley and musician Peter Allen, and the title track, " Release (The Tension)", which was written by funk legend Allen Toussaint, who produced the entire album. The title track found some international success upon its release while "I Don't Go Shopping" was her first top 40 R&B charted single since 1977. Along with her frequent collaborator, James "Budd" Ellison, LaBelle lyrically co-wrote virtually the second half of the album.
