HENSLEY, KEN (EX-URIAH HEEP) -EAGER TO PLEASE-1975-FIRST PRESS UK-BRONZE-ILPS9307. Matrices A-1/B-1 Rare British original of KEN HENSLEY's second solo album (URIAH HEEP) Eager To Please is the second solo album by Ken Hensley, known as the leader of the English rock band Uriah Heep, released in 1975 on Bronze Records and on Warner Bros. Records. Encouraged by the success of his debut solo album Proud Words on a Dusty Shelf (1973), Ken Hensley recorded his second solo work in 1975, calling it Eager To Please, which means "Trying to please" or "Trying to please". Everyone can judge how much Hensley tried to please the public. But based on the tastes of the average Uriah Heep fan, it is clear that something similar was expected from Ken.

BLACK SABBATH-TECHNICAL ECSTASY -1978- FIRST PRESS UK-VERTIGO-9102750. A rare original of the cult album . "Technical Ecstasy" is the seventh studio album by the British rock band Black Sabbath, released in 1976. Musically, the CD is a further development of the musical ideas of the guitarist and main composer of the band Tony Iommi. Just like on the last two albums, on Technical Ecstasy, simple and short songs such as "Rock 'N' Roll Doctor" contrast with longer and more complex songs such as "You Won't Change Me" and "Dirty Women".

Nevertheless, partly thanks to the beautiful songs, and partly thanks to the big name "Black Sabbath", this album sold steadily and eventually received its "platinum" in the UK and "gold" in the USA. Technical Ecstasy reached number 13 in the UK charts and number 51 in the US Billboard magazine charts ...more
