DDT-BLACK DOG PETERSBURG-1994-FIRST PRESS RUSSIA-DDT. Mega rare cult album of one of the main groups of Russian rock. Black dog Petersburg is a live album by DDT, recorded on December 12, 1992 and released in 1994. The album contains eight songs that were not included in other albums. "Black Dog" is our first thematic, conceptual program. When we did it, we knew that as musicians we had to rise to a new, different level. We set ourselves tasks that we had never solved before. Everything was new and strange. And it turned out. With all the disadvantages, but it turned out!»... "It was the first time such big topics were touched upon there. Topics that are generally sick of art: "To be or not to be?", The bronze horseman, Boris Godunov.… There were appeals to Mandelstam, Brodsky, Shostakovich, some kind of Symphony, even a small one.

ARKTIS-ARKTIS TAPES-1975-FIRST PRESS GERMANY-BON BON-BBR7502. Mega rare short-run original of one of the key prog albums of the 70s. Arktis - Arktis Tapes 1975. The second album of the band from Bonn. Unfortunately, the first album did not find a "buyer", and in 1974, with the assistance of Konrad Planck, Arktis recorded a second demo album, released in may 1975 with a circulation of 500 copies-again for promotion purposes. The music here is somewhat restrained, but no less attractive and covering. In this music, you can feel not only a craving for art-rock (prolonged instrumental pieces), but also the sprouts of guitar technique, characteristic of what in the next decade was called "heavy metal". One critic wrote a scathing note: If such an album had been released in 1969 or 1970, they would have been at the top with Black Sabbath and LED ZEPPELIN , and now the time is gone. "Tapes" suffered the fate of the first Arktis album, and Blahut disbanded the band.  ...more
