DYLAN, BOB-BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME- 1965 -SECOND PRESS UK-CBS-SBRG62515. A-2/B-2 matrices. A rare British original in top condition. Bringing It All Back Home is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released in April 1965 by Columbia Records.. It was Dylan's first album to use power tools, which caused controversy and divided many in the modern folk scene. The album is divided into two separate parts; the first part of the album uses electric instruments, and on the first side of the original vinyl disc, Dylan is accompanied by an electro-rock and roll band. The second part mainly features acoustic songs. The album omits the protest music from Dylan's previous recordings in favor of more surreal, complex lyrics.. The album reached number 6 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart, becoming Dylan's first album to reach the top 10 in the United States. Later that spring, he also topped the UK charts. The first track, Subterranean Homesick Blues, became Dylan's first single to chart in the United States, peaking at number 39. Bringing It All Back Home has been named one of the greatest albums of all time by many publications. In 2003, it was ranked 31st on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list, and dropped to 181st in 2020. ...more

GONG - ANGELS EGG-1973-SECOND PRESS-UK-VIRGIN-V2007. A-2U/B-3U matrices. A rare British original of a cult album. The second part of the famous Gong trilogy under the general title "Radio Gnome Invisible"."Angel's Egg" is the eclecticism of the band that has risen to a new level. Here Gong realized 100% of their creative aspirations in the field of synthesis of psychedelia and jazz-rock. The album is simply magnificent; each song has a unique sound; perfect instrumental harmony is noticeable with a complete unhealthiness of creative ideas. I can't even say which of the three albums "Radio Gnome Invisible" is better (but it's definitely not Vol.1) All music rated the album 4 stars.  ...more
