BG (AQUARIUM) - LETTERS OF CAPTAIN VORONIN-1993-FIRST PRESS RUSSIA-FEELEE-FL008/009. Very rare original single edition on vinyl. Letters of captain Voronin is a live album by Boris Grebenshchikov and the BG Band. Almost all the songs were recorded at a concert (or maybe at concerts, since there were three of them) in Kirov in October 1991, except for the song "day of joy", which was recorded in the Studio at Fontanka 39 in June 1991.Many songs from this live album were played by Grebenshchikov together with the old composition of "Aquarium". Theoretically, they should have been included in the never-recorded 1988 album "Amazing deeds of Captain Voronin". As a result, almost all of them ended up in different versions on separate collections: "When the pain passes" and "15 naked women" - in the anthology " history of the Aquarium. Archive. Volume III", "Captain Voronin" — on the soundtrack to the film" Black rose — the emblem of sadness, red rose — the emblem of love"," Ivan and Danilo "and" angel "— on the album" Feudalism"," Without women "and" Quietly love "- on the album BG"Songs of Alexander Vertinsky". ...more

JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE-ELECTRIC LADYLAND-1968 ORIGINAL PRESS 1973 UK-POLYDOR - 2310269-70. A very early reissue of the album with a re-recorded sound. Electric Ladyland is the third and final album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, released in 1968.Recording the album was accompanied by constant difficulties. After a troubled tour of Scandinavia and England, Hendricks decided to move to the US. Disillusioned with the creative limitations of record companies, he set up his own Studio in new York city, where he could implement all his musical ideas. The construction of the Studio was accompanied by problems, and its construction was finally completed only in the mid-70s.As a result, Jimi recorded the bulk of the material at the Record Plant studios. Due to difficulties in his relationship with the band's bassist, Noel reading, Jimi played most of the bass guitar parts himself, including the bass solo on "1983". During the recording of "All Along the Watchtower", reading went to a nearby bar, Hendrix took his bass and recorded the song."Voodoo Chile "was recorded during Hendrix's late-night jam session featuring Mitch Mitchell, Steve Winwood on Hammond organ, and Jack Casady on bass guitar; it served as the basis for" Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", recorded the following day. The double album "Electric Ladyland" revealed the full breadth of Hendrix's musical talent. It includes samples of every genre of music from psychedelia ("Burning of the Midnight Lamp") to Blues guitar jam ("Voodoo Chile"), 50s-style rock and roll ("Little Miss Strange") and the epic" A Merman I Should Turn to Be", which can be considered an early example of progressive rock. Hendrix also recorded a cover version of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower", which many (including Dylan himself) call the best version of this song."Electric Ladyland" reached number one on the US charts; the UK version only reached number five. In 1998, readers of Q magazine ranked "Electric Ladyland" as the 22nd greatest album of all time.
