URIAH HEEP -WAKE THE SLEEPER-2008-FIRST PRESS UK/EU -SANCTUARY-1767594. Mega rare original of the cult group.  Wake The Sleeper is the 21st Studio album by rock band Uriah Heep, released on June 2, 2008 in Europe and August 26, 2008 in the United States. The announced release in September 2007 was postponed (initially to March 2008) as a result of the purchase of Sanctuary Records by Universal Music. This was to ensure that the album was properly promoted, not that it was "lost" during the shift, and although this was unpleasant for them, the band members supported it. This is their first Studio album since 1998's Sonic Origami. It is also their first album since 1980's Conquest without long-time drummer Lee Kerslake, who was forced to leave the band due to ill health in 2007, ending the band's longest-running line-up of 21 years. Wake The Sleeper was nominated by the British Classic Rock magazine as Album of the year. ...more

ALICE COOPER-MUSCLE OF LOVE -1973-FIRST PRESS (PROMO) USA-WARNER-BS2748. Rare American promo of the original. Muscle of Love is the seventh Studio album by American rock singer Alice Cooper, released in 1973. This is the last Studio album recorded by him as part of the rock band of the same name. This is a concept album about teen angst, life on the streets of new York, and male prostitution. Instead of the usual packaging, the original LP was issued in small corrugated cardboard, hinting that such packaging may have contained something other than a record, and the "spot" was deliberately printed along the bottom. The song "Man with the Golden Gun" was planned as the title song for the Film the man with the Golden Gun, until the producers strongly opposed it. Liza Minnelli sings backing vocals on "Teenage Lament '74". The album peaked at number 10 in the US[7] and number 34 in the UK ...more

FOREIGNER-4-1981-first press UK-ATLANTIC - K50796.matrix A-4/B. Foreigner 4 is the fourth Studio album by the hard rock band Foreigner, released in 1981 by Atlantic Records. The songs "Waiting for a Girl Like You", "Urgent" and "Juke Box Hero", released as the album's main singles, became hits. The CD seems to have completed the band's transition to hard rock, started in Head Games. Ian MacDonald, al Greenwood left the band before recording 4, they were not permanently replaced, and the sound of the album changed. As a result, all the songs on the album were written by Lou Gramm and/or Mick Jones. MacDonald and Grievor played saxophone and keyboards, respectively, thus needed musicians who would be able to replace them. Junior Walker's saxophone solo on "Urgent" was probably the best thing on the album. The album was also recorded by a young Thomas Dolby, who later had a successful solo career. "Urgent" was re-released in 1991. Juke Box Hero went gold in the United States, and the single peaked at number 26 on the Billboard 200 ...more
