BOWIE, DAVID-LETS DANCE-1983-FIRST PRESS UK-EMI-AML3028. Rare British original of the cult album. Let's Dance is the 15th studio album by English singer David Bowie, released on April 14, 1983 by EMI . After the release of the album Scary Monsters (1980), Bowie began a period of numerous musical collaborations and film performances. During this time, he also left RCA Records due to dissatisfaction. After signing a contract with EMI in late 1982, Bowie decided that he wanted to start all over again, and chose Nile Rodgers from the rock disco band Chic to co-produce his next record. The album was recorded in December 1982 at the power plant in New York. The sessions featured a completely new line-up, including then unknown Texas blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan on lead guitar. For the first time, Bowie did not play any instruments on the album, but only sang. Musically, Let's Dance has been described as a post-disco record with elements of dance rock, dance pop and new wave. It contains three cover versions: Iggy Pop's song "China Girl", which Bowie and Pop recorded together for the album Pop's The Idiot (1977); Metro's song" Criminal World " and a reworking of her song. "Cat People (Putting Out the Fire)", originally recorded by Bowie and Giorgio Moroder in 1982 for the film of the same name . Let's Dance was met with huge commercial success, reaching number one in many countries, and turned Bowie into a major superstar; it remains Bowie's best-selling album. The album's four singles, including the title track, were also commercially successful. ...more

BEE GEES-HIGH CIVILIZATION-1991-FIRST PRESS UK/EU GERMANY-WARNER-7599-26530-1. A rare original of the cult group. High Civilization is the nineteenth studio album by the British pop group the Bee Gees, released on March 25, 1991 in the United Kingdom, and on May 14, 1991 in the United States-their last album recorded for Warner Bros. Records, after a four-year contract (they will return to WB through a subsidiary company Reprise Records in 2006: having obtained the rights to their previously released material, they will reissue each album through Reprise). Perhaps in response to the firm resistance of American radio to the two previous albums-E. S. P. (1987) and One (1989), which proved well in other countries, the American Warner Bros. gave this advertisement one less share and did not release remixes. They recorded this album, and their next album size is not everything with engineer Femi Gia.  In the US, the album was only available on CD and cassette, but the LP version was released in limited quantities in some countries. While it failed to chart in the US, it reached No. 6 in Switzerland, No. 2 in Germany (achieving platinum certification in both countries), No. 24 in the UK. ...more
