BEE GEES-SIZE ISN'T EVERYTHING-1993-FIRST PRESS UK/EU-POLYDOR-519945-1. A rare British original of the cult album. Size Isn't Everything is the twentieth studio album by the British band Bee Gees, released in September 1993.

The first thing in the form of a separate single was the song "Paying The Price Of Love", which took the 23rd place in the UK chart. The album itself was able to rise only to the 33rd position in the UK chart, and only lasted in the hundred for 16 weeks. The second single, "For Whom The Bell Tolls", was more successful and reached the top five. The third single, "How to Fall in Love, Part 1", was released later than everyone else and did not gain popularity in the UK, managing to rise only to the 30th place. Thus, Size Isn't Everything since Spirits Having Flown became the first Bee Gees disc, three singles from which managed to get into the top thirty of the main chart of the United Kingdom.

The single "Paying The Price Of Love" managed to rise to the 74th position during the Christmas holidays. Oddly enough, the publication was expected to be a huge success in Argentina, Latin Americans really liked the song "For Whom the Bell Tolls", where it held the lead of the hit parade for some time. In total, the worldwide sales of the album amounted to about 700 thousand copies. Regarding the song "Blue Island", Barry Gibb noted in an interview that it is "the coolest song they have ever written".

BOWIE, DAVID-LETS DANCE-1983-FIRST PRESS UK-EMI-AML3028. Rare British original of the cult album. Let's Dance is the 15th studio album by English singer David Bowie, released on April 14, 1983 by EMI . After the release of the album Scary Monsters (1980), Bowie began a period of numerous musical collaborations and film performances. During this time, he also left RCA Records due to dissatisfaction. After signing a contract with EMI in late 1982, Bowie decided that he wanted to start all over again, and chose Nile Rodgers from the rock disco band Chic to co-produce his next record. The album was recorded in December 1982 at the power plant in New York. The sessions featured a completely new line-up, including then unknown Texas blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan on lead guitar. For the first time, Bowie did not play any instruments on the album, but only sang. Musically, Let's Dance has been described as a post-disco record with elements of dance rock, dance pop and new wave. It contains three cover versions: Iggy Pop's song "China Girl", which Bowie and Pop recorded together for the album Pop's The Idiot (1977); Metro's song" Criminal World " and a reworking of her song. "Cat People (Putting Out the Fire)", originally recorded by Bowie and Giorgio Moroder in 1982 for the film of the same name . Let's Dance was met with huge commercial success, reaching number one in many countries, and turned Bowie into a major superstar; it remains Bowie's best-selling album. The album's four singles, including the title track, were also commercially successful. ...more
