KEITH MOON (EX-WHO) -TWO SIDES OF THE MOON-1975-FIRST PRESS UK-POLYDOR- 2442134. Two Sides of the Moon is the only solo studio album by English rock musician Keith Moon, drummer of the Who. The album reached number 155 on the Billboard 200. The title of the album belongs to Ringo Starr. Instead of using the album as a chance to showcase his drumming skills, Moon performed lead vocals on all tracks and played drums on only three of them ("Crazy Like a Fox", "The Kids Are Alright" and "Move Over Ms. L"), although he played percussion on "Don't Worry Baby". The album was recorded by Ringo Starr, Harry Nilsson, Joe Walsh from the Eagles, Jim Keltner, Bobby Keys, Klaus Woermann, John Sebastian, Flo and Eddie (Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan from the Turtles), Spencer Davis, Dick Dale, Suzy Quatro's sister Patti Quatro, Patti's bandmates from Fanny Gene Millington and Nikki Barclay and future actor Miguel Ferrer. Despite the fact that the album received modest reviews, it did not allow it to become a cult in Britain.

QUEEN-A NIGHT AT THE OPERA-1975-THE FIRST UK PRESS-EMI - EMTC103.Matrices A-2/B. (on the second side, the matrix is Scandinavian without a digit.) 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 it held the top position in the UK charts 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 generally believed 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 British national anthem arranged by Brian May; it was this composition that invariably ended each concert of the band. The album was ranked number 230 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003, and number 128 on the 2020 list. ...more
