ROXETTE-JOYRIDE-1991-THE FIRST PRESS OF SWEDEN-EMI number 7960481. A rare Swedish original. Joyride is the third studio album by Swedish pop rock duo Roxette, released on March 25, 1991 by EMI as a follow—up to their international breakthrough album Look Sharp! (1988), as well as the off-album single "It Must Have Been Love" from the soundtrack to the movie Pretty Woman (1990). The album was recorded in 11 months in Sweden. The duo faced serious pressure from the record company to release a successful next album, and resisted the pressure that forced them to move to Los Angeles and work with experienced American producers. After its release, the album was a success both critically and commercially. In a retrospective review for AllMusic, it was called "the work of two pop artists at the peak of their careers."  Joyride topped the charts in seven European countries and achieved multi-platinum status in several regions. It remains one of the best-selling albums of all time in Argentina, Austria and Germany. ...more

The album, released in 1968, is better known as the "White Album" because of its white cover, on which there is nothing but the name of the band (the serial number also appears on early editions), and which was designed by artist Richard Hamilton as an antithesis to the motley image of his predecessor. White Album was the first album The Beatles recorded and released after the death of the band's manager Brian Epstein. It was originally planned to be called A Doll's House ("Doll's House"), however, due to the release of the Family group's longplay with a similar name, Music in a Doll's House ("Music in a Doll's House"), it was decided to rename it. The album reached number 1 in the UK and US charts and is now considered one of the greatest albums of all time and a masterpiece of rock music. Thus, he was placed at the 10th position in the "Music of the Millennium" poll conducted by HMV, Channel 4, The Guardian and Classic FM, as well as at the 17th place in a similar list of Q magazine.

LIVIN' BLUES-BAMBOOZLE-1972-THE FIRST PRESS OF GERMANY-PHILIPS-6413 024, A very rare original of the iconic blues album by the Dutch band. Livin' Blues — Bamboozle (1972) The third studio album by the Dutch band Livin’ Blues, released in 1972 on the Philips label. Almost all the songs were written by Oberg and Christiansen, with the exception of the beautifully played ”Overture" Andrew Lloyd Webber and a cover of the song “Black Night” by American musician J.M. Robinson. The musicians relied on the next hit “L.B. Boogie", which set the mood for the whole album. But it turned out to be lively and bright – eight compositions from boogie rock to rhythm and blues. There was also a place for light sadness in it – Ted Oberg's instrumental composition “Sunrise”. In 1971, Dick Beckman was forced to leave the band, he was replaced by Johnny Le Jeune (ex-Island), a man who had been playing drums since the age of 5, a member of several Dutch bands. With him, the band recorded their third album with the strange name Bamboozle. The new drummer didn't last long for this album, then he joined the Schick Band. Tours began in Europe, where the arranged track "Overture" by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice (from Jesus Christ Superstar) was a great success.   ...more
