SMOKIE-STRANGERS IN PARADISE-1982-THE FIRST PRESS HOLLAND-RAK-1A-064-64743. Matrices A-1/B-1 . A rare European original. In early 1982, the last album for EMI Strangers in Paradise was released. The album failed in the charts, and it became clear that the members could not recreate their success using their own material. Shortly after the release of Strangers in Paradise, work began on two albums, one of which was released as a Smokie Midnight Delight album, and the other was Chris Norman's solo album Rock Away Your Teardrops. But that Smokie album, that Norman solo album sold poorly. It's amazing how time changes a lot, currently the album is considered one of the rarest and most coveted by fans of the band.

ALICE COOPER-TRASH -1989-FIRST PRESS HOLLAND-EPIC-465130-1 Rare European original of the cult album. Trash is the eighteenth studio and eleventh solo album by Alice Cooper, released in 1989. After Alice Cooper returned to the big stage in 1986 (since 1983, the musician has been undergoing treatment for alcoholism), and the release of the relatively successful albums Constrictor and Raise Your Fist and Yell, Alice Cooper decided to consolidate success. To do this, he, firstly, did not renew his contract with MCA and signed a contract with the record company Epic, and secondly, invited the famous musician and producer Desmond Child, who was widely known for his work with Kiss, Bon Jovi and Bonnie Tyler. Desmond Child became the producer and co-writer of the album. In addition, Alice Cooper invited such famous musicians as Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Steven Tyler to work (as well as to work with the previous album). The result was the album Trash, the most successfully sold album by Alice Cooper in his entire career. The album reached peak sales in the United States and was awarded platinum status by the RIAA for a circulation of over 1,000,000 copies in February 1990. In the charts, the disc rose to number 20 in the US, to number 2 in the UK. ...more

Concerto for Group and Orchestra (translated from English — "Concert for Group and Orchestra") is a live album by the British rock band Deep Purple, recorded together with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. One of the first attempts to harmoniously combine classical music and rock music in one piece. It was released in the USA in December 1969, and in the UK in January 1970. By the time the second line-up of Deep Purple was formed, there was a confrontation in the band between the art-rock ambitions of John Lord and the hard-rock ambitions of Richie Blackmore. Lord considered the possibility of creating a work that would combine the features of classical and rock music. Deep Purple manager Tony Edwards decides to go all-in and reserves the Albert Hall for September 24, leaving John Lord about six months to write the score. Richie Blackmore was later terribly jealous of Lord that such an idea did not come to him ...more
