CROSS (EX-QUEEN, ROGER TAYLOR AUTOGRAPH) - BLUE ROCK-1991-FIRST PRESS UK/EU-GERMANY-7777976241. A mega rare original of EX-QUEEN's solo work. The Cross is a British rock band founded by Queen drummer Roger Taylor. It existed from 1987 to 1993, during which time it released 3 studio albums and 9 singles. The band's sound changed with each album: Shove It mixed rock and dance music; Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know was closer to hard rock, and Blue Rock mixed elements of hard rock and heavy metal. The third album, Blue Rock, was the most controversial. Some fans call it frankly weak, while others leave only the best reviews about the album. This album was released only in Germany and Japan, where The Cross achieved the greatest popularity. It seems that the band broke up due to a complete lack of interest in the UK and the US. The Cross was not a great commercial success, although the album Shove It still managed to reach number 58 in the UK charts,  the singles Shove It — number 82, Heaven for Everyone — number 83 and Power to Love-number 85.  ...more

C - RIVER BRIGADE-1993-FIRST PRESS RUSSIA-FEE LEE-FL3024. A rare original of the cult album.  In the summer of 1992, the band recorded the album "Rivers". However, in parallel, the participants were preparing a large-scale action "All this is rock and roll" with the participation of Russian rock stars, so the new work of the musicians was sold only in the spring of 1993. The concert presentation of the album "Rivers" was held in the legendary Gorbunov Recreation Center. "Brigade C" presented its CD for three days — on April 28, 29 and 30. Shortly after this event, the band officially ceased to exist, and Garik Sukachev announced the creation of a new project — "Untouchables". The album was released by FeeLee. The record was released on vinyl records in an edition of 5,000 copies.Relative to the previous works of the band, even with the traditional "brigadovsky" drive, the album "Rivers" came out somewhat tired, calm and beautiful, its songs-piercing and dramatic. In its own way, it was a farewell to the old time and the old team. A characteristic feature of the album is also the noise space between the compositions, provided by the tone studio of the Mosfilm film company and consisting of various sounds of wildlife. Most of the submitted songs are still being rotated on radio stations. ...more
