BEE GEES-HIGH CIVILIZATION-1991-FIRST PRESS UK/EU GERMANY-WARNER-7599-26530-1. A rare original of the cult group. High Civilization is the nineteenth studio album by the British pop group the Bee Gees, released on March 25, 1991 in the United Kingdom, and on May 14, 1991 in the United States-their last album recorded for Warner Bros. Records, after a four-year contract (they will return to WB through a subsidiary company Reprise Records in 2006: having obtained the rights to their previously released material, they will reissue each album through Reprise). Perhaps in response to the firm resistance of American radio to the two previous albums-E. S. P. (1987) and One (1989), which proved well in other countries, the American Warner Bros. gave this advertisement one less share and did not release remixes. They recorded this album, and their next album size is not everything with engineer Femi Gia.  In the US, the album was only available on CD and cassette, but the LP version was released in limited quantities in some countries. While it failed to chart in the US, it reached No. 6 in Switzerland, No. 2 in Germany (achieving platinum certification in both countries), No. 24 in the UK. ...more

SHELLY MANNE AND CO. -SAME -1964-THE FIRST UK-STATESIDE PRESS-SL10125. A rare British original of the iconic album.  Since the early 1960s, jazz began to transform towards modern and free jazz. Since 1960, Shelly Mann has mainly concentrated on working at the jazz club, where he was a co-owner and in which he played both with his own band Shelly Manne and His Men, and with almost all the jazz stars of that time. His club featured, for example, Ben Webster, Bill Evans, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Michel Legrand, Milt Jackson, Monty Alexander, Miles Davis.  So this album was born, recorded with superstars in the line-up with Johnny Hodges. The last person to perform on the club's stage was Stan Getz in 1973. In the same year, Mann sold the club due to financial difficulties.  ...more

GEORDIE-DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE NAME-1974-THE FIRST DENMARK PRESS-EMI- EMA764. Matrix A-3/B-3. A very rare Danish original hard rock style icon in top condition. Geordie's second album "Don't be fooled by the name" (1974) became both the most interesting and the most successful work of the band: Melody Maker noted their "incredible drive", and NME recognized that "Malcolm writes great songs, and Johnson brilliantly performs them." One of the most interesting numbers on the record was the hard rock version of the standard "The House of the Rising Sun" (later that year, it was released as a single and reached the Top 20). Oddly enough, this was Geordie's last hit on the popularity lists of Britain or Western Europe. Throughout 1975, the band traveled continuously around Britain and Europe, exploiting their unexpected success. The only single released in the same year, "Wizard", went unnoticed. The failure also befell the concept album Save the world, released in early 1976, their rather clumsy attempt to stake out a plot in the territory of art rock. Geordie's star set as quickly as it rose. Deciding that the bandmates were to blame for everything, Johnson left Geordie in the summer of 1976 and signed a personal contract with MCA Records. Recorded with new partners and released in the same year, the album "Brian Johnson and Geordie" included reworking of the band's old hits, but did not return success. Johnson's second and last solo album "Strange man" was released on New Year's Eve, but it was also met with little enthusiasm by listeners. Johnson returned to Newcastle, where, forgetting to think about rock, he worked as a technician at a gas station until someone from AC/DC's entourage (some unknown fan) mentioned him, trying to find a replacement for the deceased Bon Scott. In April 1980, Johnson was officially announced as the new vocalist of the band. ...more
