Lot 59QUEEN-A NIGHT AT THE OPERA-1975-FIRST PRESS UK-EMI-NMINT/NMINT

QUEEN-A NIGHT AT THE OPERA-1975-FIRST PRESS UK-EMI - EMTC103.Matrices A-6/B-5. A rare British original. A Night at the Opera is the fourth studio album by the rock band Queen, released on December 2, 1975. The record was a great success: its sales reached three million, and in the UK charts it held the first position for four inconsistent weeks. The title of the album — "Night at the Opera" — as well as the subsequent one, is taken from the repertoire of American comedians of the 1930s by the Marx brothers, namely from the film of the same name. At each Queen concert, several songs from A Night at the Opera were necessarily performed (while "Love of My Life" was never performed in the album version). It is considered that the song "Death on Two Legs" is dedicated to the former producer of the band. "Bohemian Rhapsody" brought the band a resounding success and in 2000 was recognized in Britain as the "song of the millennium". The final album "God Save the Queen" is the anthem of Great Britain arranged by Brian May; it was this composition that invariably completed each concert of the band. The album was ranked 230th on Rolling Stone magazine's 2003 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and 128th on the 2020 list.

EXTREME-III SIDES TO EVERY STORY (2LP)-1992-FIRST PRESS HOLLAND-A?M - 540006-1. A very rare original of hard rock monsters mixed with glam and funk. III Sides to Every Story is the third studio album by American rock band Extreme, released in 1992. This is a concept album with a conditional division into three sections or "sides", called "Yours", "Mine" and "The Truth", each of which has its own sound and lyrical images. Despite the fact that fans and music critics consider the album Extreme one of the best, III Sides to Every Story suffered a commercial failure (it sold only about 700,000 copies compared to the double platinum Pornograffitti), because it did not have a hit single such as "More Than Words" (which took first place in the Billboard Hot 100 charts in 1991), from its predecessor Pornograffitti (although the single "Rest in Peace" reached number one on the mainstream rock chart). ...more
