KALINOV MOST-DARZA-1992-FIRST PRESS RUSSIA -  ECOCULTURE-C90 32103-4. A rare original album of the Russian cult prog group. Darza is a studio album by the Russian folk-rock band Kalinov Most, recorded in June 1991, simultaneously with the album Uzaren. A distinctive feature of the album is a hard sound, which was not on the previously recorded albums of the band. 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

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL-PENDULUM-1970-FIRST PRESS USA-FANTASY-F8410. Very rare original of the cult group. Pendulum is the sixth studio album by American Creedence band Clearwater Revival, recorded at Wally Hyder Studios in San Francisco and released on the Fantasy label in December 1970. Pendulum is the last CCR album to feature rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty, who left the band shortly after the album's release. The record demonstrates the group's desire to expand their own stylistic framework, a number of his compositions in musical terms are noticeably more complex than the CCR records of 1968-1969. The most ambitious of the band's seven albums, Pendulum was recorded for about a month — twice as long as the rest of the records. ...more
