CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL-COSMO'S FACTORY-1970-FIRST PRESS (PROMO) USA-FANTASY-F8402 Mega rare promo original of the cult group. Cosmo's Factory is the fifth Studio album by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, released in July 1970 on Fantasy Records. The CD was recorded at Wally Heider's San Francisco Studio.

ALICE-SABBATH-1991-FIRST PRESS RUSSIA-ALICE-1 C86-2172880. A very rare original of the cult album . Shabash is the fifth numbered album by the Russian rock band Alice, released in 1991. The album was based on the band's concert, which took place on October 28, 1990 in Moscow in Luzhniki. "Sabbath" is dedicated to a close friend of Konstantin Kinchev, Alexander Bashlachev, who died on February 17, 1988.

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
