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. The album debuted on the chart at the 2nd place (the best place of McCartney's albums in the US chart since the album Tug of War); in the first week, 121 thousand copies of the album were sold. Both in the UK and in the USA, the album was recognized as the "best debutant on the chart", and also certified as "gold". In other countries, the reaction to the album was slightly worse than on Off the Ground, but in Greece, the album reached number 1 on the chart and was certified gold in Norway. According to the Nielsen SoundScan marketing research system, the album sold more than 1.5 million copies worldwide until June 2007.

INXS-WELCOME TO WHEREVER YOU ARE-1992-FIRST PRESS EU-HOLLAND-MERCURY-512507-1. A rare European original of the cult group. Welcome to Wherever You Are is the eighth studio album by Australian rock band INXS, released on August 3, 1992.Taking a course on the grunge and alternative rock that was relevant in the first half of the 90s, INXS tried to find a new direction for themselves, a la U2 (Achtung Baby), the use of a sitar, a 60-string orchestra and a much more "raw" sound. Producer Mark Opitz described the writing process as follows: "There's a lot of Michael, Andrew and me on the album. The opinion of everyone and everyone is not present here, because some of them were busy with significant changes in their personal lives." The mixing was handled by Bob Klimauntin.While working on the album, INXS performed at the Concert for Life in March 1992, performing some of the songs to the accompaniment of the orchestra[8] and presenting two new songs - "Taste It" and "All Around".The CD took 1st place in the UK chart, 16th place in the US Billboard 200 chart and was among the top ten albums of the year according to Q and The Independent magazines. However, due to insufficient promotion of the album by the record company and the lack of a tour in support of the album (after successful tours in support of Kick and X, the band took a vacation with the intention of returning with a tour in support of two albums), the album sold worse than its predecessors - gold in Britain in 1992, platinum in the USA in 1997. The band performed at the 1993 Australian Record Industry Awards (nominated for "Best Band"), performing "Heaven Sent" to the soundtrack of instruments, but with live vocals. ...more
