LED ZEPPELIN-HOUSES OF THE HOLY-1973-FIRST PRESS USA (CUT RL)-ATLANTIC-SD7255 matrices ST-A-732783-C AT STERLING RL / ST-A-732784-F AT STERLING RL .Richmond Press. A mega rare American original. Mastering was done by Robert Ludwig (label RL) 1st edition in the USA (with the Broadway address of 1841 on the labels), with Robert Ludwig's "hot" mastering on both sides. The first copies went on sale and began to be recalled for production, because the high bass led to poor quality cartridges (heads) malfunctioning, which forced people to return the album, believing that it was defective. Then another sound engineer was hired to redo a much less "hot" version of the album, and this is a common version..Houses of the Holy is the fifth studio album by British rock band Led Zeppelin, released on March 28, 1973 on Atlantic Records. Page described the idea of the cover as "a symbol of innocence, an expression of the idea that we are all beings who aspire to the promised heaven." Six-year-old Samantha Gates and her four-year-old brother Stefan posed. The cover photo is a collage of more than thirty images. The album cover did not contain any information about the artists or the title. In the USA, the headline was written on ribbons that were taped over children's buttocks. Despite this precaution, the record was banned in many states of the "Bible Belt". "They wouldn't let us do anything like that today, they would immediately accuse us of pedophilia propaganda," says Powell. "But we were hippies, walking around naked was completely commonplace for us." In 2011, the album cover was ranked 28th in the list of the best album covers of all time by the online publication Music Radar. In the music ranking, the album immediately took from 1 to 10 places in the charts of countries on all continents, immediately becoming multi-platinum.  ...more

HOT R.S.- SAME-1977-ПЕРВЫЙ ПРЕСС FRANCE-VOGUE-LDA 20339. Мега редкий  оригинал культового диско альбома. Hot R.S. — южноафриканский диско-рок проект, сформированный в Йоханнесбурге и активный в конце 1970-х годов. Hot R.S. возник в 1977 году как студийный ансамбль, имя которого расшифровывается как House Of The Rising Sun. Проект был студийным, с упором на длинные диско-аранжировки, электронные инструменты и глэм-элементы, что выделяло его на южноафриканской сцене. Центром проекта были продюсеры Дэн Хилл (1923–2009) и Кевин Крюгер (ум. 2010), которые привлекали сессионных музыкантов и вокалистов для записи пластинок. В записи участвовали певцы Рене Вельдсман, Пенни Крофт, Джон Уэддепол, Ютте Фальтског и Мерседес Корнфилд, а также гитаристы Тревор Рабин и Роберт-Джон «Мут» Лэнг, клавишник Дункан Маккей и барабанщик Седрик Самсон.  Музыка Hot R.S. сочетала диско, рок и электронные элементы с использованием синтезаторов Korg и глэм-звучания. Их подход часто выражался в удлинённых диско-аранжировках и креативных обработках классических рок-композиций, что стало отличительной чертой проекта. В дискографии Hot R.S. отмечены ключевые релизы: дебютный альбом House Of The Rising Sun (1977), второй альбом Forbidden Fruit (1978), EP In-A-Gadda-Da Vida (1979) и альбом Heads Or Tails (1980). Группа также выпустила камбэковый альбом в 2003 году, что отражает интерес к их материалу спустя годы. ...more
