ROXETTE-JOYRIDE-1991-THE FIRST PRESS OF SWEDEN-EMI number 7960481. A rare Swedish original. Joyride is the third studio album by Swedish pop rock duo Roxette, released on March 25, 1991 by EMI as a follow—up to their international breakthrough album Look Sharp! (1988), as well as the off-album single "It Must Have Been Love" from the soundtrack to the movie Pretty Woman (1990). The album was recorded in 11 months in Sweden. The duo faced serious pressure from the record company to release a successful next album, and resisted the pressure that forced them to move to Los Angeles and work with experienced American producers. After its release, the album was a success both critically and commercially. In a retrospective review for AllMusic, it was called "the work of two pop artists at the peak of their careers."  Joyride topped the charts in seven European countries and achieved multi-platinum status in several regions. It remains one of the best-selling albums of all time in Argentina, Austria and Germany. ...more

INXS-WELCOME TO WHEREVER YOU ARE-1992-FIRST PRESS EU-HOLLAND-MERCURY-512507-1.  A rare European original of the cult group. Welcome to Wherever You Are is the eighth studio album by Australian rock band INXS, released on August 3, 1992.Taking a course on the grunge and alternative rock that was relevant in the first half of the 90s, INXS tried to find a new direction for themselves, a la U2 (Achtung Baby), the use of a sitar, a 60-string orchestra and a much more "raw" sound. Producer Mark Opitz described the writing process as follows: "There's a lot of Michael, Andrew and me on the album. The opinion of everyone and everyone is not present here, because some of them were busy with significant changes in their personal lives." The mixing was handled by Bob Klimauntin.While working on the album, INXS performed at the Concert for Life in March 1992, performing some of the songs to the accompaniment of the orchestra[8] and presenting two new songs - "Taste It" and "All Around".The CD took 1st place in the UK chart, 16th place in the US Billboard 200 chart and was among the top ten albums of the year according to Q and The Independent magazines. However, due to insufficient promotion of the album by the record company and the lack of a tour in support of the album (after successful tours in support of Kick and X, the band took a vacation with the intention of returning with a tour in support of two albums), the album sold worse than its predecessors - gold in Britain in 1992, platinum in the USA in 1997. The band performed at the 1993 Australian Record Industry Awards (nominated for "Best Band"), performing "Heaven Sent" to the soundtrack of instruments, but with live vocals. ...more

SECRET SERVICE-OH SUSIE-1980-ПЕРВЫЙ ПРЕСС GERMANY-TELDEC- TELDEC- 624250AP. Редкий европейский оригинал культового альбома.  Oh Susie — дебютный студийный альбом шведской поп-группы Secret Service, выпущенный в 1979 году. Альбом был записан на студии OAL Studio в Соллентуне (пригороде Стокгольма) и спродюсирован самой группой. В 1979 году участники группы Secret Service (но ещё под названием Ola+3) записали шведоязычный альбом «Det Känt Som Jag Vandrar Fram» на звукозаписывающей компании Gazell. Вторая композиция на пластинке «Oh Susie (Bara vi två vet)» была услышана двумя диск-жокеями Кристофером и Рикки, работавшими в Café Opera, известном ночном клубе Стокгольма. Они настаивали на том, что песня станет большим хитом, если её переделать с английским текстом. Сингл «Oh Susie» прозвучал на Радио Люксембург, распространился по всему континенту, а также стал хитом в Южной Америке. Участники думали, что это будет только одна запись, поэтому они хотели сохранить секретность, отсюда и название Secret Service. Второй сингл «Ten O'Clock Postman» занял второе место в чартах Западной Германии и четвертое место в чартах Японии. ...more
