NAZARETH-NO JIVE-1991-FIRST PRESS UK/EU GERMANY-MAUSOLEUM - 36700101. Mega rare album of the giants of British rock. The first press was released only in Germany. No Jive is the eighteenth studio album by the British band Nazareth. Released in 1991 by Griffin Records. Despite the retirement of permanent guitarist Manny Charlton and the return of Billy Rankin, in the 90s Nazareth returned to classic hard rock, from which they started. From the first chords of "Hire and Fire", you seem to be transported to 1974, to the time of "Rampant". The first 3 tracks were made in this style. Next is the obligatory melodic semi-ballad "Every Time it Rains". Remnants of the sound of the 80s are still left in "Keeping our Love Alive". "The Rowan Tree" is a nice little instrumental on an acoustic guitar, which is like an introduction to" Tell Me That You Love Me " – here the guys remembered that they are from Scotland and played a wonderful folk singing song. The disc ends with the once again replayed "This Flight Tonight" In February 1992, the album was released, received flattering reviews from critics, followed by a tour of Europe, including the first trip to England after 1985. In 1993, "No Jive" was released in the United States, received excellent reviews and sold well. ...more

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
