DEEP PURPLE-SLAVES AND MASTERS-1990-FIRST PRESS GERMANY-RCA- PL90535. A rare original of the cult album. Slaves and Masters is the thirteenth studio album by Deep Purple, released on October 5, 1990. The CD was recorded with the participation of vocalist Joe Lynn Turner, who came to replace Ian Gillan at the suggestion of Richie Blackmore. The album went on sale on November 5, 1990 and caused contradictory responses. Blackmore was very pleased with the record, but music critics felt that it was more like a Rainbow album. Ian Gillan, who was dismissed from the group, had a similar opinion. "I feel proud of what Deep Purple did, and I think it would be fair if they called themselves by some other name - "Rainbow" or something. I think that would be fair enough. I think everyone would be relieved. They could very well continue their career as "Rainbow" and at a much higher level than if they continued as "Deep Purple". Upon its release, the album Slaves and Masters reached number 87 on the US Billboard 200 chart. Despite low album sales, Deep Purple conducted a relatively successful tour in support of Slaves and Masters in 1991, especially for the band's European leg. Turner was still a member of the band when they began writing and recording their next album in 1992, but under pressure from managers who were planning a tour in honor of Deep Purple's 25th anniversary, they eventually decided to bring Gillan back into the lineup for their 1993 studio album The Battle Rages On...

MAHALIA BARNES (FR. JOE BONAMASSA)- OOH YEA.. BETTY DAVIS SONGBOOK (2LP)-2015-FIRST PRESS UK/EU-PROVOGUE-PRD7455-1. A rare original of the cult album. Full release title: Mahalia Barnes / The Soul Mates featuring Joe Bonamassa "OOH YEA (The Betty Davis Songbook)". The album was recorded over three days at Freight Train Studios in Sydney, Australia, "live", without overdubs. The hard groove and riffs (Bonamassa immediately declares his presence) and the sharp piercing vocals in the title track If I'm In Luck I Might Get Picked Up turn into a love story - soul In The Meantime with a dominant organ and, again, a prolonged solo by Bonamassa. The funky He Was A Big Freak gives Mahalia the opportunity to show all her vocal capabilities. The album is made up of covers of songs by Betty Davis, Miles Davis' wife, recorded in the early 70s. Betty met Miles Davis in the late 60s and introduced him to the world of psychedelic rock, introduced him to Jimi Hendrix. Later she released three solo albums, which influenced the formation of such musicians as Prince, Ice Cube, Erykah Badu, etc. Her music consists of a thundering mix of funk, soul, R/B, served raw with sexual overtones and hooligan fervor. Listen and see what happened here. Mahalia Barnes is the daughter of the famous Australian rock/blues singer Jimmy Barnes, who has absorbed soul, blues and rock and roll music since childhood. Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder have always been her idols. Last year, in the studio, she performed several Betty Davis songs in the presence of renowned producer Kevin Shirley (Joe Bonamassa, Led Zeppelin, Journey). So the idea of a whole disc was born, which was willingly supported by Joe Bonamassa, who took a full-scale part in these recordings. "OOH YEA” is an ambitious work by a young singer, a modern interpretation of Betty Davis' music. The participation in the recording of great musicians (including Mahalia's father) and the described producer guarantee a high level of material. Bonamassa fans can also add this CD to the collection. ...more
