ELF(FR. R. J. DIO)-CAROLINA COUNTRY BALL - 1974 - FIRST UK PRESS-PURPLE-TPS3506. Matrix A-1U/B-1U .Stamper 1R/1P(the Dream!). Mega rare original first British group's iconic frontman.On the second album Elf with his producer Roger Glover continue to play its cheerful Boogie-rock with virtuoso keys Mickey Le Soul, but this time noticeably moving forward with the melodies and arrangements: the title song, the brass section adds elements of old Dixieland, but very atmospheric, mood-driven "Happy" sound reminiscent of the Beatles "Oh! Darling". But the main thing is that from your simple style Elf begin to create something more artistic than you'd expect from the average bar band - they have style and charm. A graceful, old fashioned charm, which you might sometimes hear, for example, the Queen, or, say, Billy Joel. But of course, this Elf are completely on their territory, because they have and a powerful rhythm section and above all amazing vocals of dio. The fact that with all this physical strength they can afford this simple, yet striking vignette, as a final "Blanche", tells you only how versatile the group could be Elf and how nalobova singer could be dio. ...more

DORO-DORO-1990-FIRST GERMANY PRESS-VERTIGO-846194-1. Rare original limited edition includes a poster (70 cm x 35 cm) DORO is the second solo album by German singer of hard rock Doro . The album was released on September 25, 1990. Second album, Doro is more of a solo project than a group setting. In fact, the German singer chose a new musical direction, consciously separating the musical creative process from the normal dynamics of the group, contrary to what she always did in the past with Warlock . The production of the album was placed in the hands of Kiss bassist Gene Simmons, the childhood idol Doro.Simmons provided five songs, including covers of psychedelic Electric Prunes hit The 60-ies of "I Had Too Much To Dream" and Black 'N Blue's" Rock On", and musicians, leaving an environment Kiss' to complete the entry. The song "Only You" is a cover of kiss from the album Music from The Elder (1981). He gave his protégé Tommy Thayer from Black 'n Blue (another group that was produced by Simmons) the chance to Shine as co-producer of the album along with Pat Regan. "I'll be Holding On" is a cover version of the song by Greg Allman from the 1989 film Black Rain . The resulting sound is much smoother and polished than any Warlock album, in the spirit of many American glam metal records of that time, and the lyrics are completely abandoning the Gothic atmosphere present in the proposals of the previous group Doro Pesch.[2] Many of the photographs on the cover and inner sleeve were made famous playboy and fashion photographer Philip Dixon. ...more
