WINGS-RED ROSE SPEEDWAY-1973-FIRST PRESS UK-APPLE - PCTC251. matrix A-3/B-3!!! stamper 1OO/1OP(Very early) A rare British original with a laminated version of the cover (Very rare!!!). Red Rose Speedway is the second album by Paul McCartney and the Wings group he created (it is the fourth in Paul McCartney's discography outside and after his participation in The Beatles), released in 1973 by Apple Records after the relative commercial failure of Wings' debut album Wild Life (perhaps one of the reasons for this failure was that the authors-the performers of the album were still a little—known band Wings without mentioning — in the name of the band - that this is McCartney's band).

MAHALIA BARNES (FR. JOE BONAMASSA)- OOH YEA.. BETTY DAVIS SONGBOOK (2LP)-2015-FIRST PRESS UK/EU-PROVOGUE-PRD7455-1. A rare original of the cult album. Full release title: Mahalia Barnes / The Soul Mates featuring Joe Bonamassa "OOH YEA (The Betty Davis Songbook)". The album was recorded over three days at Freight Train Studios in Sydney, Australia, "live", without overdubs. The hard groove and riffs (Bonamassa immediately declares his presence) and the sharp piercing vocals in the title track If I'm In Luck I Might Get Picked Up turn into a love story - soul In The Meantime with a dominant organ and, again, a prolonged solo by Bonamassa. The funky He Was A Big Freak gives Mahalia the opportunity to show all her vocal capabilities. The album is made up of covers of songs by Betty Davis, Miles Davis' wife, recorded in the early 70s. Betty met Miles Davis in the late 60s and introduced him to the world of psychedelic rock, introduced him to Jimi Hendrix. Later she released three solo albums, which influenced the formation of such musicians as Prince, Ice Cube, Erykah Badu, etc. Her music consists of a thundering mix of funk, soul, R/B, served raw with sexual overtones and hooligan fervor. Listen and see what happened here. Mahalia Barnes is the daughter of the famous Australian rock/blues singer Jimmy Barnes, who has absorbed soul, blues and rock and roll music since childhood. Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder have always been her idols. Last year, in the studio, she performed several Betty Davis songs in the presence of renowned producer Kevin Shirley (Joe Bonamassa, Led Zeppelin, Journey). So the idea of a whole disc was born, which was willingly supported by Joe Bonamassa, who took a full-scale part in these recordings. "OOH YEA” is an ambitious work by a young singer, a modern interpretation of Betty Davis' music. The participation in the recording of great musicians (including Mahalia's father) and the described producer guarantee a high level of material. Bonamassa fans can also add this CD to the collection. ...more
