QUEEN-THE WORKS-1984-THE FIRST UK PRESS-EMI-EMC2400141. A rare British original. The Works is the eleventh studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on February 27, 1984. The album became a kind of return to the roots. After an unsuccessful attempt to release a dance album, the band realizes that people want the old Queen with powerful heavy fast numbers (Now I'm Here, Dead On Time, Tie Your Mother Down), lyrical ballads (Love Of My Life, Jealous), hard rock ballads in the spirit of "waving the flag" (We Are The Champions, In The Lap Of The Gods), opera polyphony (The Prothet's Song, Somebody To Love) and metal fast beats (Stone Cold Crazy, Let Me Entertain You). As Brian May said, "The Works" is "A Night At The Opera" with a few touches from "The Game". The Works gave the world two famous hits: "Radio Ga Ga" and "I Want to Break Free". The album went double platinum and sold five million copies. ...more

Mega rare original of the cult album.Computerwelt is the eighth studio album by German electronic band Kraftwerk, released in 1981. This is the fifth, since Autobahn (1974), concept album by the band, dedicated this time to the world of computers, calculators and numbers. By the time Computerwelt was released, pop music had already counted dozens of successful electronic bands who, having adopted Kraftwerk's previous ideas, took them to the next level; against this background, the Kraftwerk album was not so revolutionary. In the aspect of the band's creativity, the record, nevertheless, is considered strong, not least due to innovative rhythms. A year later, the rhythm of the song Numbers and the melody of Trans-Europa Express from the album of the same name were used in the composition of Africa Bambata Planet Rock, which had a great influence on the further development of hip-hop and electro. ...more
