ROXETTE-TOURISM (2 LP'S) - 1992-FIRST PRESS UK/EU-GERMANY-EMI-077779992911. A very rare original of the cult album..Tourism: Songs from Studios, Stages, Hotelrooms and Other Strange Places is the fourth studio album by Swedish pop duo Roxette, released on August 28, 1992 by EMI. Despite the fact that Roxette was often mistaken for a live album, the album was described in its comments as a "touring album": the band recorded most of their material in numerous recording studios in between concerts of their world-famous band " Join the Joyride! Excursion". The album contains three live concert recordings, while another track was recorded live in an empty nightclub in Sao Paulo. Two more tracks were recorded in Buenos Aires' The Alvear Palace Hotel.The album received mixed reviews from American publications upon its release, with some confusing its concept and incorrectly describing it as containing only five previously unreleased songs. It also underperformed the Billboard 200, peaking at number 117 on the chart and selling about 278,000 copies-far short of the million-dollar joyride. However, the album was a commercial success in Europe and was certified platinum in many territories. As of 2001, Tourism has sold over 6 million copies worldwide. ...more

KALINOV MOST-USAREN-1993-FIRST PRESS RUSSIA-SNC-ME 2073. A rare original album of the Russian cult prog group. "Usaren" is a studio album by the band" Kalinov Most", recorded in 1991 and released two years later. Refers to a total two-year studio cycle consisting of three albums: "Vyvoroten", "Darza", "Uzaren", the material for which was written continuously.The word "Eversion" in Belarus, in rural areas, is called trees that have fallen on the road, after a hurricane or thunderstorm. Example of use: "I took you another way, because on the old one, after yesterday, there were vyvorotni." It did not contain any of the songs that had already brought the band fame. The songs were not just different, but completely different in poetics, completely incomprehensible from where the author (Dmitry Revyakin) came mysterious images, intricacies of words. And a specific melos, in which, in addition to "blues" and "rock" elements, ethnic motifs and shamanic chants were fused.  ...more

SHOCKING BLUE-DREAM ON DREAMER-1973-FIRST PRESS GERMANY-POLYDOR-2459317. A very rare original album that was released only in Germany. "Dream On Dreamer" is the seventh album, released in 1973. The album is one of the band's most underrated albums, which is probably why it is not known to all fans of the band. This is completely undeserved, since it, in fact, includes no less interesting songs by Van Leeuwen than those that the musician wrote before. "Time Slips Away", "Diana in Her Dreams" and "Save Your Love" are the classic type of songs from earlier Shocking Blue. In addition, quite a big event in the development of the group is the piano ballad "Just a Song", on which Mariska Veres sang just fine, in the same key as in the ballad" I Like You "from the album" Inkpot "("Inkpot"). Initially, the album "Dream On Dreamer" came the firm "Pink Elephant" under the name "Ham", but as soon as he was released on the label "Polydor", the album includes the song "Dream On Dreamer", and the album changed the name and the cover too (Both versions differed more and some change in sostve songs, some were replaced with other, and order them on both discs differed). Since then, it has been known by this name. Robbie van Leeuwen left the band for good shortly after the release of "Dream On Dreamer", but several songs of his composition appeared on the next album "Good Times" (1974). ...more
