	Music for Pleasure (record label) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Music for Pleasure (or MFP) was a United Kingdom record label that issued budget-priced albums of popular and classical music.
		The MFP catalogue consisted of both original material and reissues of existing EMI recordings, including records by "name" artists such as The Beach Boys, Blondie, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, The Animals and The Beatles.
		The Beatles compilation double album, Rock 'n' Roll Music, was reissued on the Music for Pleasure label in 1980 as two separate single albums (MFP 50506 and MFP 50507).

	King Pleasure - Music Downloads - Online
		Bio: Along with Eddie Jefferson, King Pleasure was one of the early masters of vocalese -- a style in which lyrics are written and sung to the solos of jazz instrumentalists.
		Although Pleasure cited Jefferson as his main influence and said that Jefferson was embracing vocalese before him, Pleasure's sax-like phrasing and scat singing proved equally influential.
		Pleasure was still recording in the early '60s, but after that, he faded into great obscurity -- although the impact of his early work would remain long after his death on March 21, 1982 (only three days before what would have been his 60th birthday).

		History of the Pleasure EP "Pleasure e.p." was recorded in the summer of 1995.
		Pleasure was what they called the rock band; Semisonic, at that time, was their all-in-studio "make-out music for the millennium" project.
		Most of the execs who believed in Dan, John and Jake's music were fired, and the recording was put on hold by the new regime at Elektra.

		Pleasure was a merger of two Portland outfits: Franchise (which included McClain, Phillips, and Carter) and the Soul Masters (which was Hepburn's band and also included Springer, Smith, and Davis).
		Pleasure's debut album, Dust Yourself Off, came out on Fantasy in 1975 and was followed by Accept No Substitutes in 1976 and Joyous in 1977.
		Get to the Feeling, Pleasure's fourth album, came out in 1978 and was followed by 1979's Future Now, which contained the hit "Glide." Pleasure's cult following really swore by the band, but it wasn't until "Glide" (which reached number ten on Billboard's R&B singles chart) that the funksters finally scored a Top 10 hit.

	For Your Very Real Pleasure - Roxy Music - Record Mirror and Disc - 18the October 1975
		Musically the show was superb, without doubt the best Roxy gig I've ever seen.
		Everyone got a chance to show off their talents: Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera each did a number from their solo albums and both offerings were highlights of the evening and Ferry gave us The In Crowd and A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall from his solo LPs.
		One surprise of the evening was the inclusion of For Your Pleasure, which Roxy have never played on any previous tour.

	FOR YOUR PLEASURE...
		It’s true that a good half of the album is simply an improvement on the revolutionary romance of their first album, but it’s not enough to shake the nightmarish pull created by the weightier epics.
		The carefully measured contributions of Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera in particular are stunning to behold.
		From the moment that Ferry intones “There’s a new sensation” to the space odyssey that ends the album, this is some of the greatest music that Roxy has committed to vinyl.

	Dust Yourself Off - Pleasure - Music Reviews
		And while the Blackbyrds had their share of major radio smashes, Pleasure's only major radio hit was 1979's "Glide." Produced by Henderson, Dust Yourself Off wasn't a favorite at soul radio but did earn Pleasure a small (and enthusiastic) cult following.
		Pleasure's funk was tough and gritty -- the Oregon residents were as gutsy as Tower of Power and the pre-J.T. Taylor Kool & the Gang, both of which are influences on this LP.
		In fact, "What Is Slick" is Pleasure's clever response to Tower of Power's "What Is Hip." But as gutsy as Pleasure could be, the band's willingness to incorporate jazz elements gave its funk a certain sophistication.

	For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music CD
		With FOR YOUR PLEASURE, the second Roxy Music album, the band began to explore a little more of the "dark side" of the glamorous world that had become their lyrical and musical playground.
		Musically, this decay is examined most clearly in "In Every Dream Home a Heartache," a disturbing tale about an inflatable sex doll that, at times, suggests some of the creepier moments from the Doors catalogue--"The End" in particular.
		Discussing ROXY MUSIC is not an easy task, as they define most traditional music boundaries.

		As sinister melodies are choked from a well-worn organ, vocalist Andrew Rothbard gives not-so-subtle hints to the band's underlying sense of depravity.
		As a result of its mysterious imagery and allusions to dark excess, Pleasure Forever's self-titled debut was often considered a concept album that celebrated living life on the brink of collapse (landing on Buddyhead.com’s "Best of 2001" list with the following succinct summation: "Songs about drugs and orgies made with only guitar, piano, and drums").
		Pleasure Forever, who have toured with the Damned, Les Savy Fav, Murder City Devils, Dead Low Tide and others, was once known as SLAVES, and all three members played previously in The VSS.

	Old memories (phillyBurbs.com) \| Music for pleasure
		When their debut album, "Hit After Hit," was released in 2000, the band's catchy melodies and sophomoric (in a good way) lyrics represented a fresh and invigorating approach to poppy punk.
		The band is reminiscent of Elastica in the video, but musically the band is more melodic and rocking, and there's little question that they have more sass and style than the nearly forgotten UK rockers.
		His love of the foreign music he encountered is evident here with such acts as Enu Kabinets, who play a skewed style of pop and Inokentijs Marpls, who sound like a deranged mixture of Black Sabbath and the Melvins.

	Monaco : Music for Pleasure - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Hook and his collaborator David Potts still give the music a cool dance underpinning, but the intention of the duo is to marry the tuneful craftmanship of Britpop with modern sonics.
		Although Potts' contributions tread too close to Oasis territory for comfort, Hook's songs are melodic, concise and catchy -- he hasn't sounded quite so fresh since the late '80s.
		There are still a few dull moments scattered across the record, yet Music for Pleasure remains a thoroughly enjoyable listen.

		Against the odds, Hall has reassembled the faithful and released his own damned album as the Pleasure Club.
		Exploding with opener "Permanent Solution," Hall stakes his claim as the great white hope of modern rock music, slapping the defibrillators on Mick and Keef, and scraping the moss off rock & roll's most visceral elements: whole measures of down-stroked power chords, ominous basslines, and blood-curlding sympathy for the devil.
		They survived the hand-rinsing of major label neglect and are giving us one more chance to be saved.

	Yellow6 - Music For Pleasure
		A limited-edition release but one which will certainly satisfy those who enjoyed the first album, 'Music For Pleasure' is the second full-length recording from Jon Attwood AKA Yellow6.
		The main criticism levelled at Attwood would be that these 11 tracks don't deviate noticeably from the formula of the first but when the music on offer is as quietly fascinating as this it seems churlish to complain.
		This time there are moments of Durutti Column-like subtle, chiming guitars as well as Attwood's own superior mixing skills which sound up-to-date and vital rather than a hackneyed attempt at jumping the bandwagon.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Pure Pleasure, Shaggy, CD
		Shaggy's debut album, Pure Pleasure, has been described as a dancehall album for those who generally don't care for dancehall and, to be sure, the CD managed to reach a lot of listeners who find dancehall limited and one-dimensional.
		The toaster accomplished this by striving for variety and being more musical than a lot of dancehall artists.
		Plus, the fact that he is fairly recognizable doesn't hurt; when other 1990s dancehall upstarts were becoming Shabba Ranks clones, Shaggy combined dancehall aggression with such influences as Yellowman.
