SMOKIE-CHANGING ALL THE TIME-1975-THE FIRST UK-RAK PRESS number SRAK517. A-1/B-1 matrices. A very rare British original of the legendary band. On this day in 1975, the band Smokie releases their second album, called ‘Changing All The Time'. This album is a testament to the changes.

The band's curators, hit makers, Chinn and Chapman tried to give it more softness with echoes of country rock, which was supposed to turn Smokie into the British answer to the Eagles. And they succeeded. The album entered the top ten of all European charts. ...more

SPOOKY TOOTH-IT'S ALL ABOUT-1968-THE FIRST UK-ISLAND PRESS-ILPS9080 Matrix A/B is a very rare British original of the cult band. A wonderful debut album by the British band. Spooky Tooth is one of the bright bands that emerged at the turn of the decades and during the transition period from pure psycho, or blues, to new musical forms. The beautiful, "elegant", interesting music of Spooky Tooth is very good. Despite the quite mainstream nature of this band, they failed to achieve any significant commercial success. But the records they released are still listened to with pleasure today. In general, the group turned out to be a kind of star factory. After the breakup of ST, the band members scattered to quite famous and pretentious teams - guitarist Luther Grosvenor worked with Stealers Wheel and Mott the Hoople, bassist Ridley organized Humble Pie, the rest also did not get lost in the musical world, continuing to play with varying degrees of success. ...more

QUEEN-INNUENDO-1991-FIRST PRESS GERMANY-PARLOPHONE-058-7958871. A very rare German original of the cult album. Innuendo is the fourteenth studio album by the British rock band Queen. 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 critical acclaim, Queen's new album reached number one on the album charts in Holland, Switzerland, Italy, Germany and her native UK, becoming double platinum. ...more
