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

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

BOY GEORGE-CHEAPNESS AND BEAUTY-1995-FIRST PRESS UK-VIRGIN-V2780. Mega rare British original by the founder of the British pop wave. Cheapness and Beauty is the fifth Studio album by Boy George, released in 1995. It reached number 44 on the UK albums chart. After achieving his biggest solo success in the US and Canada with the theme song for the film the Crying Game in 1992, George decided to move away from the electronic sound and record some rock-oriented tracks with a glam rock edge. One of the reasons he took this step was to revisit his teenage years while writing his autobiography Take It Like A Man, which was released around the same time as the album. The album also marked the first time that George did not hide his homosexual sexuality in the lyrics. The tracks "Genocide Peroxide" and "Il Adore" were later included in the musical taboo. The album opens with a cover version of Iggy Pop's"Funtime", which was released as a single and reached number 45 on the UK singles chart. Another single was the ballad "Il Adore", which peaked at number 50, and" Same Thing in Reverse", which reached number 56 in the UK and number 28 on the us Billboard dance chart. ...more
