ZERO-A SONG ABOUT UNREQUITED LOVE FOR THE MOTHERLAND-1991-FIRST PRESS OF RUSSIA-FEELEE-FL3-004.  A rare original of the cult album. "Song of unrequited love for the Motherland" is the fourth album of the band "Zero", released in 1991. It is considered the best creation of the group, it contains all the main hits for the entire period of creativity: "Russian rock 'n' Roll", "I'm walking, smoking", "Man and Cat", "Song about a real Indian", "Trams were driving down the street", "Lenin Street" ... Almost all songs, except the title instrumental, were included in radio rotation, most remain on the air until now pore. And this is the only album of the classical period, songs from which are generally heard on the radio, except for informal and unofficial Internet stations. At the same time, "Song about ..." is not an electric album, but an acoustic one; in full—fledged electricity, with percussion and weighted sound, only one song is made here — "You're a brake". Since the release of this record, and in many ways thanks to it, the group "Zero" has entered the so-called "first echelon" of Russian rock, becoming one of the leaders of Russian rock music. And it was from this time, ironically, that the decline of the collective began. The musicians began to abuse alcohol and drugs, which led to the well-known tragic events in the biography of Fyodor Chistyakov, who found himself in a psychiatric hospital. In addition, creative differences between the musicians played a role, and this led to a temporary split in the composition. After all these twists and turns, the band was unable to consolidate its success in subsequent albums, but the CD "Song of Unrequited Love for the Motherland" still remains one of the strongest and most influential works in Russian rock music, and "Zero" is one of the main groups of Russian rock. ...more

DOORS-SOFT PARADE-1969-THE FIRST PRESS (PROMO) USA-ELEKTRA-EKS75005. Matrices A-CP/B-CP-1.  Mega rare American promo original of the cult album. The Soft Parade is the fourth studio album by the American rock band The Doors, released on July 18, 1969 on the Elektra label. The Soft Parade did not receive approval from either critics or listeners. So, in the Billboard 200, the record reached only the sixth position, and in the charts of the UK and other European countries, the disc did not debut at all, unlike its predecessor Waiting for the Sun (1968). Of all the singles released in support of the album — "Touch Me", "Wishful Sinful", "Tell All the People"ruen and "Runnin' Blue" — only the first achieved sales success: it reached the third line in the Billboard Hot 100 and then received gold certification by the RIAA. Many music publications, for example, Rolling Stone, were dissatisfied with the record, mainly due to The Doors' attempt to move away from their style to the use of orchestral arrangements. Over time, music historians have changed their opinion about The Soft Parade for the better, but the CD is still recognized as one of the weakest works of the band during Morrison's lifetime. ...more
