COLTRANE, JOHN / SHEPP, ARCHIE -NEW THING AT NEWPORT-1965-FIRST PRESS (STEREO) USA- IMPULSE-AS-94-A very rare American original of the cult album . A 1965 live album consisting of two separate sets from that year's Newport Jazz Festival, composed by tenor saxophonists John Coltrane and Archie Shepp. It was recorded four days after Coltrane's Ascension album recording session, at which Shapp appeared, and is one of several albums documenting the final stages of Coltrane's "classic quartet", which would begin to break up by the end of that year with the departure of McCoy Tyner. Reviewer Tim Niland wrote that both of Coltrane's performances are "explosive in their intensity" and "One Down, One Up" is "almost boiling at times." He stated: "Despite the audacity of the music, there are enough melodic hints in it, and the musicians are so obviously sincere in their desire to explore the world that the audience gives them great support." Nayland concluded: "Although the music on this CD must have come as something of a shock to those who were unprepared for it, listening to it in a historical context shows that this is a great example of the rapidly developing state of jazz in the mid-1960s by two of its most famous performers." ...more

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL-PENDULUM-1970-THE FIRST UK PRESS-LIBERTY-LBG83400. Matrices A-1/B-1. A very rare British original of the cult album. Pendulum is the sixth studio album by American band Creedence Clearwater Revival, recorded at Wally Hyder's studio in San Francisco and released on the Fantasy label in December 1970. Pendulum is the last CCR album to feature rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty, who left the band shortly after the album's release. The record demonstrates the group's desire to expand its own stylistic framework, a number of his compositions are musically noticeably more complex than the CCR recordings of the 1968-1969 sample. The most ambitious of the band's seven albums, Pendulum was recorded for about a month — twice as long as the rest of the records. ...more

It was released on February 4, 1991. The last album "Queen", recorded and released during the lifetime of Freddie Mercury. The name Innuendo contains an "indirect hint" that the band in such a composition will not last very long. The last songs were very difficult for Freddie, who was already seriously ill. Nevertheless, the album was finished and well received by the public. Several music videos were shot in support of him, one of which, "These Are The Days of Our Lives", became the last video featuring Mercury.Despite mixed reviews from critics, Queen's new album reached the top spot in the album charts of the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Germany and her native UK, becoming double platinum. ...more
