ELF(FR. R. J. DIO)-CAROLINA COUNTRY BALL - 1974 - FIRST UK PRESS-PURPLE-TPS3506. Matrix A-1U/B-1U .Stamper 1R/1P(the Dream!). Mega rare original first British group's iconic frontman.On the second album Elf with his producer Roger Glover continue to play its cheerful Boogie-rock with virtuoso keys Mickey Le Soul, but this time noticeably moving forward with the melodies and arrangements: the title song, the brass section adds elements of old Dixieland, but very atmospheric, mood-driven "Happy" sound reminiscent of the Beatles "Oh! Darling". But the main thing is that from your simple style Elf begin to create something more artistic than you'd expect from the average bar band - they have style and charm. A graceful, old fashioned charm, which you might sometimes hear, for example, the Queen, or, say, Billy Joel. But of course, this Elf are completely on their territory, because they have and a powerful rhythm section and above all amazing vocals of dio. The fact that with all this physical strength they can afford this simple, yet striking vignette, as a final "Blanche", tells you only how versatile the group could be Elf and how nalobova singer could be dio.

GILLA-I LIKE SOME COOL ROCK'n'ROLL 1980-FIRST GERMANY PRESS-HANSA - 201406-320. Very rare original one of the best albums in the disco style. Gill and Roelofs 1980 record a new album, preceded by its release of the single We Gotta Get Out Of This Place. The album was called I Like Some Cool Rock'n'roll, and it was produced by himself, Roelofs, and Farian remained in the project as a viewer and a producer, for which, however, had the final word. The album was attended by interesting disco song Go Down Main Street, Tom Cat, as well as a few songs Roelofs, co-written by Fred Jay, including a beautiful lyrical Take Your Time. What prevented this album to be a bestseller, unknown, but, apparently, the role played by the fact that in 1980 disco began to experience hard times. Nevertheless, the album became fairly common in Europe (especially Eastern) and South-East Asia, where Euro-disco was very popular. ...more
