QUEEN-A NIGHT AT THE OPERA-1975-FIRST PRESS UK-EMI - EMTC103.Matrices A-6/B-5. A rare British original. A Night at the Opera is the fourth studio album by the rock band Queen, released on December 2, 1975. The record was a great success: its sales reached three million, and in the UK charts it held the first position for four inconsistent weeks. The title of the album — "Night at the Opera" — as well as the subsequent one, is taken from the repertoire of American comedians of the 1930s by the Marx brothers, namely from the film of the same name. At each Queen concert, several songs from A Night at the Opera were necessarily performed (while "Love of My Life" was never performed in the album version). It is considered that the song "Death on Two Legs" is dedicated to the former producer of the band. "Bohemian Rhapsody" brought the band a resounding success and in 2000 was recognized in Britain as the "song of the millennium". The final album "God Save the Queen" is the anthem of Great Britain arranged by Brian May; it was this composition that invariably completed each concert of the band. The album was ranked 230th on Rolling Stone magazine's 2003 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and 128th on the 2020 list. ...more

ZERO-A SONG ABOUT UNREQUITED LOVE FOR THE MOTHERLAND-1991-FIRST PRESS OF RUSSIA-FEELEE-FL3-004.  A rare original of the cult album. "Song of unrequited love for the Motherland" is the fourth album of the band "Zero", released in 1991. It is considered the best creation of the group, it contains all the main hits for the entire period of creativity: "Russian rock 'n' Roll", "I'm walking, smoking", "Man and Cat", "Song about a real Indian", "Trams were driving down the street", "Lenin Street" ... Almost all songs, except the title instrumental, were included in radio rotation, most remain on the air until now pore. And this is the only album of the classical period, songs from which are generally heard on the radio, except for informal and unofficial Internet stations. At the same time, "Song about ..." is not an electric album, but an acoustic one; in full—fledged electricity, with percussion and weighted sound, only one song is made here — "You're a brake". Since the release of this record, and in many ways thanks to it, the group "Zero" has entered the so-called "first echelon" of Russian rock, becoming one of the leaders of Russian rock music. And it was from this time, ironically, that the decline of the collective began. The musicians began to abuse alcohol and drugs, which led to the well-known tragic events in the biography of Fyodor Chistyakov, who found himself in a psychiatric hospital. In addition, creative differences between the musicians played a role, and this led to a temporary split in the composition. After all these twists and turns, the band was unable to consolidate its success in subsequent albums, but the CD "Song of Unrequited Love for the Motherland" still remains one of the strongest and most influential works in Russian rock music, and "Zero" is one of the main groups of Russian rock. ...more
