Achtung Baby Achtung Baby ( ) is the seventh studio album by Irish rock band U2. It was produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, and was released on 18 November 1991 on Island Records. Stung by criticism of their 1988 release, "Rattle and Hum", U2 shifted their musical direction to incorporate influences from alternative rock, industrial music, and electronic dance music into their sound. Thematically, "Achtung Baby" is darker, more introspective, and at times more flippant than their previous work. The album and the subsequent multimedia-intensive Zoo TV Tour were central to the group's 1990s reinvention, by which they abandoned their earnest public image for a more lighthearted and self-deprecating one.

The King (Teenage Fanclub album) The King is the second album by Scottish alternative rock band Teenage Fanclub, deleted on its day of release in 1991. The album is often derided as a hastily assembled contractual obligation to US label Matador (allowing the group to sign to Geffen without penalty). However the group have denied this, claiming that the shambolic, spontaneous nature of the contents was a direct influence of producer Don Fleming, whose music was often improvised. In a 2006 interview, Norman Blake and Brendan O'Hare confirmed that the album had been recorded immediately after completing "Bandwagonesque" using pre-booked studio time that became available when the aforementioned album was finished sooner than anticipated. They also claimed that the album was intended to be a mid-price edition of 1,000 but their then UK label Creation Records pressed 20,000 and sold them at full price .

Barfly (album) Barfly is the second album from Buck-O-Nine, originally released in 1995 on Taang! Records. The album contains several cover songs that influenced the band's individual members. The cover songs were narrowed down from a list of seven possible cover songs the band had rehearsed and performed live, having originally been picked round-robin style. The album is fleshed out with original songs written after the release of "Songs in the Key of Bree". "Barfly" was released within a relatively short time after "Songs in the Key of Bree", in part because the band was anxious to have a release available that would see wider distribution than the first album was gaining.

SST's lawsuit is similar to the "Streisand effect".
