ROXETTE-TOURISM (2 LP'S) - 1992-FIRST PRESS UK/EU-GERMANY-EMI-077779992911. A very rare original of the cult album..Tourism: Songs from Studios, Stages, Hotelrooms and Other Strange Places is the fourth studio album by Swedish pop duo Roxette, released on August 28, 1992 by EMI. Despite the fact that Roxette was often mistaken for a live album, the album was described in its comments as a "touring album": the band recorded most of their material in numerous recording studios in between concerts of their world-famous band " Join the Joyride! Excursion". The album contains three live concert recordings, while another track was recorded live in an empty nightclub in Sao Paulo. Two more tracks were recorded in Buenos Aires' The Alvear Palace Hotel.The album received mixed reviews from American publications upon its release, with some confusing its concept and incorrectly describing it as containing only five previously unreleased songs. It also underperformed the Billboard 200, peaking at number 117 on the chart and selling about 278,000 copies-far short of the million-dollar joyride. However, the album was a commercial success in Europe and was certified platinum in many territories. As of 2001, Tourism has sold over 6 million copies worldwide. ...more

KALINOV MOST-DARZA-1992-FIRST PRESS RUSSIA -  ECOCULTURE-C90 32103-4. A rare original album of the Russian cult prog group. Darza is a studio album by the Russian folk-rock band Kalinov Most, recorded in June 1991, simultaneously with the album Uzaren. A distinctive feature of the album is a hard sound, which was not on the previously recorded albums of the band. Refers to a total two-year studio cycle consisting of three albums: "Vyvoroten", "Darza", "Uzaren", the material for which was written continuously.The word "Eversion" in Belarus, in rural areas, is called trees that have fallen on the road, after a hurricane or thunderstorm. Example of use: "I took you another way, because on the old one, after yesterday, there were vyvorotni." It did not contain any of the songs that had already brought the band fame. The songs were not just different, but completely different in poetics, completely incomprehensible from where the author (Dmitry Revyakin) came mysterious images, intricacies of words. And a specific melos, in which, in addition to "blues" and "rock" elements, ethnic motifs and shamanic chants were fused.  ...more

DEMON FUZZ-AFREAKA! - 1970-THE FIRST PRESS of UK-DAWN-DNLS3013, a mega rare original by a British prog band. Up to a certain point, Demon Fuzz was quite a typical British progressive band of the late sixties. Atypical was the fact that the team consisted of seven black members, which, however, was also not so rare. A turning point occurred when the Demon Fuzz musicians visited Morocco, where they fully discovered African music. Here lies the secret of this unusual group: when they returned back to the UK, they realized that it would be great to mix their native progressive rock with the African rhythms that they loved so much. As a result, their cult album was born, which is designated as Afro-rock. However, the musical palette of Demon Fuzz turned out even brighter. In their heavy progressive, in addition to the African influence, you can find elements of soul (especially in the vocals), and jazz with a confident wind section, and although not so significant, but slipping funk. Their record "Afreka!" sounds very interesting and diverse, and their amazing combination of styles makes the most impressive impression.The album consists of five very long tracks. Not all of them immediately cut into the brain, but nevertheless look interesting and give pleasure to how well and thoughtfully they are made and played. Especially impressive is the epic Past, Present, and Future for ten minutes and bright in terms of melody and internal diversity of Disillusioned Man. ...more
