ZUCCHERO-LIVE AT THE KREMLIN (2LP'S)-1991-FIRST PRESS OF ITALY-POLYDOR-511519-1.. A rare original of the Italian romantic blues rock. Zucchero — Live At The Kremlin is the first live album by Italian singer Zucchero Fornaciari, released on November 4, 1991 by Polydor label.  After the release of his self-titled album "Oro, Incenso e Beer", he travels to Moscow, culminating in a double concert in the Moscow Kremlin, in the Congress Hall. The second concert on December 9, 1990 was broadcast live worldwide on Rai Due. The concert was recorded and mixed by Maurizio Maggi and released in its entirety without any changes or technical corrections. As he wrote in his autobiography titled "The Sound of Sunday is the Novel of My Life," Zucchero gave a concert while experiencing a severe panic attack. Nevertheless, the performance, the first for a Western artist in the Soviet Union after the fall of the Berlin Wall, was a success. Among the guests on stage were Randy Crawford, who sang a duet with Zucchero "Come Il Sole" in English, and John Lennon, to whom the song "Imagine" was dedicated, dedicated to the famous musician on the tenth anniversary of his death. Then Tony Childs appears, with whom Zucchero performs "Many Rivers To Cross", and Yuri Kasparyan, the guitarist of the legendary Soviet rock band Kino, who took part in the concert with his guitar along with Andrea Braido. Finally, it is worth noting the contribution of singer Lisa Hunt, who accompanied the songs with her soulful vocals and especially stood out in the performance of Madre Dolcissima. During the concert, as was customary according to Soviet custom, there was no applause, but at the end the audience applauded standing for 20 minutes.  ...more

BEATLES-A COLLECTION OF BEATLES OLDIES (STEREO)-1966-ORIGINAL PRESS 1972 JAPAN-APPLE-AP-8016. A rare Japanese edition of the iconic album. A Collection of Beatles Oldies is a collection containing a selection of songs by The Beatles recorded from 1963 to 1966. The album was released in 1966 by Parlophone in the UK and Australia, in both mono and stereo versions. By the pre-Christmas season of 1966, the EMI label had no new musical material from The Beatles for the first time in three years. The compilation was an alternative suitable to meet EMI's demand for new products, as the band had just begun recording Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the follow-up to their album Revolver, released in the summer. It was the first official compilation of the band's greatest hits, although the Beatles did not participate in the creation of the album. The album peaked at number six on the UK Albums Chart. The album cover contributed to the myth of "Paul is dead", as in the cover illustration, the road seems to lead directly into the head of a sitting person (as if secretly hinting: "Paul died on the road, in a car accident"). ...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
