BRAVO-MOSCOW BIT-1992-THE FIRST PRESS OF RUSSIA-SINTEZ-SP02-0018. A rare original album of the cult band. Moscow Beat is the seventh official album of the band Bravo. It was released in 1992. The soloist is Valery Syutkin. After the success of the previous album "Dudes from Moscow", the group "Bravo" became one of the first most successful groups of the post-Soviet space and the nascent Russian show business. And if the previous work was rather an edition of previously recorded material with small additions, then the new one was rather the result of the joint work of Khavtan and Syutkin. According to the memories of both, new songs were born exactly during the tour, the lyrics of new songs were often written on trains and planes. The album "Moscow Beat" expanded the audience of "Bravo" — it gained more and more fans in the cities of the former USSR, and the movement of stylists acquired another birth. ...more

However, the duration of the album's recording and sales over the entire lifetime of 7 million copies were less than that of Achtung Baby. In 1994, Zooropa won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.

INCREDIBLE HOG-SAME-1973-FIRST PRESS FRANCE-COLUMBIA-2C064-94876. A rare French original of the cult album. The only album of the trio from London. Its history usually begins in 1970, although the trio began performing under the name “Incredible Hog” (a paraphrased title of the comic book series “Incredible Hulk”) only since January 1972. It ceased to exist at the end of 1973. The band consisted of Ken Gordon (guitar, harmonica, vocals), Jim Holmes (bass guitar), Tony Awin (drums). It is known that Ken and Jim have been friends since school years. At first, they performed in a team called "Speed Auction". Having formed "Incredible Hog“, they then created a club in London” The Pig Sty", which gathered not only their fans, but also fans of heavy rock and blues in general. The band is distinguished by a certain unusual hard rock melody. Ken's guitar playing style clearly resembled the unforgettable Rory Gallagher, and in general the band was compared with the early "Deep Purple“, then with”Groundhogs". English-speaking fans of” Incredible Hog " note as the advantages of the group not only the melody and high technique of performance, but also the lyrics of the songs, which, in their opinion, are quite intelligent and meaningful… According to some reports, the band was recreated and took part in the spring of 2011 at the Roadburn rock festival.  ...more
