COLTRANE, JOHN -AFRICA  BRASS  -1961-ОРИГИНАЛЬНЫЙ ПРЕСС 1976 UK- IMPULSE-IMPL8015. Редкое британское издание культового альбома. Africa/Brass — студийный альбом джазового саксофониста и композитора Джона Колтрейна. Он был выпущен 1 сентября 1961 года на лейбле Impulse! Records. Рабочий квартет Колтрейна дополнен большим ансамблем, в котором играют 21 музыкант. Его биг-бэнд с необычными инструментами валторнами и эуфониумом исполнял музыку, сильно отличавшуюся от всего, что до сих пор ассоциировалось с Колтрейном. Несмотря на то, что поначалу критики невысоко оценили этот альбом, современные джазовые обозреватели называют его «потрясающим» и «ключевой работой для понимания того, в каком направлении развивалась музыка Джона Колтрейна на последних этапах его творчества». Это первый релиз Колтрейна на лейбле Impulse!. ...more

MOODY BLUES-ON THE THRESHOLD OF A DREAM-1969-FIRST UK PRESS-DERAM-SML1035. Matrices A-2W/B-2W. A very rare original of the cult album.  On the Threshold of a Dream is the fourth studio album by the British band The Moody Blues, released in April 1969 on Deram Records. This is The Moody Blues' third album recorded with the classic Hayward—Pinder—Lodge—Thomas Edge line—up, and the band's third collaboration with producer Tony Clark. On the Threshold of a Dream was the band's first album, which was recorded in a relatively calm environment, without taking time to work in the studio between concerts. This is partly due to the success of the two previous albums Days of Future Passed and In Search of the Lost Chord, which provided the band with significant attention from the record company Decca Records. In addition, the band members now had a much better idea of what they could achieve in the studio and began writing songs with these possibilities in mind. Equally important, they have just completed an extensive tour of the USA (opening for Cream) and learned a lot during the concerts over the previous year, achieving a much bolder and denser sound both instrumentally and vocally. As a result, On the Threshold of a Dream became one of the most successful albums of the band's entire existence, reached the #1 position in the UK and entered the "Top 20" in the USA. The album received positive reviews from critics and was included in various lists of the best progressive rock albums. ...more
