MCCARTNEY, PAUL-FLAMING PIE-1997-FIRST PRESS UK-PARLOPHONE- 724385650017. A very rare British original of the cult album. Flaming Pie is the tenth solo studio album by Paul McCartney, released in 1997. This is McCartney's first studio album, after his previous studio album Off the Ground, released in 1993; these four years McCartney was mainly busy working on The Beatles Anthology project. In the album's liner notes, McCartney wrote: "(The Anthology) reminded me of the standards we held to during The Beatles' time; the standards of how we worked on songs. So the creation of this album followed a course "refreshed" by these memories of the past." Since February 1995, McCartney has collaborated with Jeff Lynn, the lead vocalist and guitarist of the Electric Light Orchestra, a passionate fan of The Beatles. The album Flaming Pie is the last to be recorded by Paul's wife Linda McCartney, who died of breast cancer in 1998. Flaming Pie debuted in the UK Albums chart at number 2 in May 1997 — the best initial chart position since the album Flowers in the Dirt eight years earlier. In the US, the reaction was also very positive.

BEATLES-SAME (WHITE ALBUM) - MONO-1968-FIRST PRESS-UK-APPLE-PCS7068 Matrix numbers: A-1/B-1/C-1/D-1. Version with the added text “An E. M. I. Recording".  The number on the cover is N 80922. The Beatles (also known as The White Album) is the tenth studio album by The Beatles and the band's only double release. The album, released in 1968, is better known as the "White Album" because of its white cover, which contains nothing but the band's name (the early editions also feature a serial number), and which was designed by artist Richard Hamilton as an antithesis to the mottled image of its predecessor. The White Album was the first album The Beatles recorded and released after the death of the band's manager, Brian Epstein. It was originally planned to be called A Doll's House ("Doll's House"), but due to the release of a longplay by the band Family with a similar name, Music in a Doll's House ("Music in a doll's House"), it was decided to rename it . The album reached number 1 in the UK and US charts and is now considered one of the greatest albums of all time and a masterpiece of rock music. So, it was placed at the 10th position in the "Music of the Millennium" poll conducted by HMV, Channel 4, The Guardian and Classic FM, as well as at the 17th place in the similar list of Q magazine. It also reached number 7 in the same publication's "100 Best British Albums of All Time" poll. White Album was ranked the 11th Best Album of All Time by VH1, and was also included in Time Magazine's "100 Best Albums" list. In addition, the record is ranked 10th in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All time, 1st in the L. A. Weekly's "20 Greatest Double Albums", the same place in the NME's "30 Must-Listen Double Albums" list, and the top spot in The Daily Telegraph's "10 Greatest Double Albums in History". According to the RIAA, the White Album is the band's best-selling album in the United States and ranks as the 10th best-selling album in history. ...more
