ALLENTOWN PRESS.  A very rare American original of the cult album. Waiting for the Sun is the third studio album by the American rock band The Doors, released in July 1968. The CD was recorded at Sunset Sound Studio (Los Angeles). It was originally planned that it would be based on a 25-minute composition "The Celebration of Lizard" ("Praise of the Lizard"), but after listening to the recorded material, which only Morrison was satisfied with, this idea had to be abandoned. The album also did not include the title song, which was transferred to the album Morrison Hotel. While working on the album, Morrison often got drunk, which infuriated producer Paul Rothschild. Despite its roughness, as well as a barrage of criticism, the album reached the first line in the national hit parade. ...more

However, the band's signature heavy guitars are still noticeable on tracks such as "In the Time of Our Lives" and "It Must Be Love". The album reached number 3 on the Billboard 200 charts, making Ball more successful than In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. Ball was certified Gold in March 1969. ...more

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 reaction in the United States was less noticeable, the album spent only three weeks on the Billboard 200 and occupied a relatively low 153rd place at the maximum. 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". ...more
