''Simple Dreams'' is the eighth studio album by the American rock artist Linda Ronstadt, released in September 1977 via Asylum Records. One of the most successful albums of Ronstadt's career, ''Simple Dreams'' spent five successive weeks at #1 on the Billboard album chart in late 1977, displacing Fleetwood Mac's ''Rumours'' at #1 after 29 record-breaking weeks in the pole position. It also knocked Elvis Presley out of #1 on ''Billboards Country Albums chart after 'The King' held the gridlock for fifteen consecutive weeks following his death in August. It won the Grammy Award for Best Recording Package (in addition to several other high profile Grammy nominations). ''Simple Dreams'' was Ronstadt's fifth consecutive million-selling Platinum album and sold over 3½ million copies in less than a year in the United States alone—a record for a female artist. Originally, the cover photograph had Ronstadt dressed in a mini-slip seated in front of multiple mirrors. Uncomfortable with the physical exposure, Linda changed into a robe, and the picture was made artificially grainy. A re-touched outtake photo from the original photo sessions was later included on the inner sleeve for her Platinum-plus ''Greatest Hits, Volume 2'' album in 1980. At the 20th Grammy Awards, John Kosh won the Grammy Award for Best Recording Package for ''Simple Dreams''. This album has never been out of print. ==Release data== The album was originally released by Asylum in the LP format in September, 1977 (catalogue number 104 or 6E-104). Later, in 1986, Asylum released the album in the Cassette format (TCS-104) and in the CD format (2-104). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simple Dreams」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
