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

BEE GEES-ODESSA-1969-ПЕРВЫЙ ПРЕСС (STEREO)-UK-POLYDOR-583050. matrix A1/B1/C1/D2/ A very rare stereo original of the cult album. Odessa is the sixth studio album by The Bee Gees, a double vinyl album released on March 30, 1969, originally in a deluxe red flocked cover with gold lettering. Despite reaching the top ten in the UK and the top twenty in the US, the album was not particularly well received, although it is now considered by many to be the band's most significant album of the sixties. An ambitious project, originally conceived as a concept album about the loss of a fictional ship in 1899, it created tension and disagreement within the band over the direction of work; finally, a dispute over which song to release as a single led to Robin Gibb temporarily leaving the band.Released by Polydor Records in the UK and Atco Records in the US, Odessa was the band's fourth album to be released internationally, and their only double album of original music. This will be the last album, which will be presented the original incarnation of the group, and the last in which will participate guitarist Vince Meloni. The album includes the 1969 hit single "First of May" (UK No. 6 / US No. 37) and well-known tracks such as "Lamplight", "Marley Purt Drive" and " Melody Fair", ...more

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

BAMBOO (SUPERMAX) -BAMBOO-1979-ПЕРВЫЙ ПРЕСС GERMANY-WEA-WEA58077. Мега  редкий оригинал культового альбома проекта KURT HAUENSTEIN (SUPERMAX). «BAMBOO» – сайд-проект Курта Хауэнштайна - лидера и создателя группы "Supermax" и вокалисток из Суринама. В этом проекте Хауэнштайн отказался от мужского (собственного) вокала в пользу женского. Видна его концепция «сделать нечто поуниверсальней». Проект обустроен всецело по супермаксовым рецептам. Курт сочинил, аранжировал, да и сыграл в основном всё сам (бас, синтезаторы и прочие клавишные). Помимо трёх вокалисток ему помогают два перкуссиониста и ударник, плюс ещё двое значатся на подпевках. Результат – синтезаторный диско-фанк, однако музыкальная эстетика «идеологически» ближе к диско (в густо-синтезаторной его версии) с важным отличием от массового пошиба, ибо грув ударных поизысканней, бас, естественно, тоже не прост. Классический симбиоз диско с реггей также в наличии. В итоге: восемь вещей, а альбом идёт ровно и уверенно. Может быть «функциональной музыкой», как для танцевальных нужд, так и, как ни странно, для спокойного фонового звучания. Для вдумчивого прослушивания тоже сгодится – везде много интересного, в деталях и их сочетаниях.  ...more
