URIAH HEEP-...VERY 'EAVY VERY 'UMBLE-1970-THE FIRST PRESS OF GERMANY- VERTIGO SWIRL-6360006. A very rare German original of the cult album. The album was released in June 1970 by Vertigo Records in the UK. The original vinyl release was a spread-out envelope with frontman David Byron depicted on the front sleeve, almost unrecognizable under the cobwebs. It was released in August 1970 by Mercury Records in the United States under the name just Uriah Heep with a different cover design (a centipede-type monster) and with the track "Bird of Prey" instead of "Lucy Blues". The album was re-released by Bronze Records in 1971 after the band signed a contract with that label. The album shows how the band tries different genres – a mix of heavy metal and progressive rock, rather than hard rock, which they became known for on later albums. Tracks 3 and 8 were recorded as Spice songs before the band's renaming to Uriah Heep, and featured session musician Colin Wood on keyboards. When Ken Hensley joined Spice in early 1970, the tracks were not re-recorded.

BOWIE, DAVID-STATION TO STATION-1976-THE FIRST UK PRESS-RCA-APL1-1327 Matrix A-1E/B-2E Rare British original cult album. Station to Station is the tenth studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on January 23, 1976 on the RCA Records label. The album, considered one of his most significant works, became the embodiment of Bowie's "Thin White Duke" stage persona. The Station to Station album, produced by Bowie and Harry Maslin, was primarily recorded at Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California, in late 1975, after Bowie had completed filming on The Man Who Fell to Earth. The cover was designed based on a shot from the movie. During the recording, Bowie suffered from various addictions, primarily cocaine, and later said that he remembered almost nothing about the recording process. "From Station to Station" was often included in the lists of the greatest albums of all time according to various publications. In 1995, it was ranked 21st on Mojo magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Albums Ever Made, making it Bowie's highest-rated album on the list. In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked it 323rd on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, 324th on its revised 2012 list, and 52nd on its revised 2020 list. In 2004, The Observer ranked the album at number 80 on its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums. Vibe magazine included the album in its list of the 100 most important albums of the 20th century. In 2013, NME magazine ranked the album 53rd in its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of all time. Uncut magazine ranked the album 30th in its list of the 200 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2015. A year later, the British Classic Rock magazine ranked the album fifth on its list of the 100 Greatest Albums of the 1970s. ...more
