VAN HALEN - VAN HALEN - Live In Pasadena October 1977 - FRA Verne Limited Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
Released in a run of 500 copies, a superb live album recorded by the band's classic line-up in October 1977 in Pasadena - three months before the release of the brilliant, groundbreaking debut album! The quality of this 50-minute vinyl is almost perfect (the performance was broadcast by a local radio station) and, importantly, the tape speed has been corrected (slightly sped up) for the first time, since all the earlier editions (of this very popular and often bootlegged title) sounded somewhat worse and a little too slow! In my opinion it is the best-sounding and probably the most important concert from the early period of this once megapopular band's work! Additionally, at the end of each side of the record one rare demo recording from the Warner Bros. studio, from April 1977, has been included. Together with this album the Verne label also released that legendary Warner Bros. session, on a separate record! The laminated, very attractive cover contains several rare, nice photographs of the band! An absolute must! Condition: MINT (NEW, UNSEALED). -

VAN HALEN - VAN HALEN - Warner Bros. Demos, April 1977 - FRA Verne Limited Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
Released in a run of 500 copies, a superb, European album recorded by the band's classic line-up at the Warner Bros studios in one day in April 1977! A full nine months before the release of the legendary debut album of January 1978! Let the fact that almost all the recordings (apart from perhaps four) from this longplayer/this session were not used on the band's catalogue records testify to how capable this band was!!! Interestingly, the tracks, played live, without overdubs, were produced by the same team (Ted Templeman/Don Landee) as the early Van Halen titles and, for example, the debut of Montrose! So every fan of early Van Halen with Dave Lee Roth will be overjoyed, all the more so since the sound quality of this 50-minute vinyl is perfect, as it comes from the first copy of the master tape. Without a doubt it is the most valuable and best-sounding unofficial material by this once megapopular band! Two other recordings ('You Really Got Me' and 'Show Me The Way') were included as bonuses with the set of the legendary Pasadena concert of October 1977 - now also released by Verne! The laminated, very attractive cover contains several rare, nice photographs of the band and a reproduction of the unused, alternative cover for the LP 'Van Halen'!!! An absolute must! Condition: MINT (NEW, UNSEALED). -

VARIOUS ARTISTS - VARIOUS ARTISTS - British Hard & Heavy Rock At The BBC 1968-1973 (2LP) - UK Maida Vale / Verne LIMITED Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 170,00 PLN / 42,50 EUR
Each of the four thematic parts of 'At The BBC' contains 120 minutes of what I consider superb material recorded live by the individual artists (with only very few overdubs) during several-hour sessions at the Maida Vale studios in London. The BBC employed the best British sound engineers, and as a result almost every band recording there sounded sensational - often better and more dynamic than on their records! Besides, many of them played tracks never released on vinyl or sometimes very surprising covers of other artists' recordings. The sound quality is fantastic - simply perfect! Only in a dozen or so cases (out of nearly 130 recordings) were fragments of slightly poorer, but definitely acceptable, quality used. Note! Almost all the recordings have never before appeared on vinyl, and only a few appeared on CDs, and generally with much poorer sound quality! The vast majority of the tracks came from very rare promotional records intended for foreign radio stations. The tracks on them were enriched with short, emotional introductions by the brilliant DJ Brian Matthew, who genuinely added a special flavour to these recordings! I am a great fan of his! In my opinion the stunning gatefold sleeves, with wonderful late 70s designs by Rodney Matthews, contain every detail about the individual recordings: exact recording dates, apt photographs and the line-ups of all the bands, and even short, one-sentence and really spot-on comments assigned to each track. Believe me - you cannot tear yourself away from these records! Please do not suggest to yourself that they are 'some compilations' or products of inferior quality! Hardly anyone will believe me, but as a great fan (and collector) of recordings from the BBC archives, hand on heart I consider these four titles (and especially "Psychedelic Rock" and "British Rock") the best vinyl reissues of the last 10 or 15 years! AN ABSOLUTE MUST!!! NEW, SEALED ........................................ The English text below I received from the publisher. It may be hard to read, but with some concentration it is genuinely very helpful! I especially recommend the short comments! ........................ Limited to 500 copies, double black vinyl edition released in beautiful cover with cool pictures and line ups of ALL bands inside the gatefold. This splendid, 120 minute/26 tracks collection (a real labour of love) not only offers an exeptional and often superior renditions of a tracks familiar through the band's original vinyl output, but also a plenty of cracking performances that they never recorded outside the BBC Maida Vale studios. During the 60s and early 70s the BBC was committed to air a substantial amount of live music within its radio broadcasting and as a result, hundreds of popular or less-known British artists were employed to fill that standards. BBC Transcription Service used some of these sessions for promotional-only albums pressed on a weekly basis (supposedly in a quantity of 100 copies) and destined for radio stations all over the world. It was a vinyl LP with yellow-green record labels, housed in a rather plain, yellow sleeve and filled with paper sheets with song titles, time durations and a running order for the show. Most of the tracks included on this release came from long-running 'Top Of The Pops' compilation series (unconnected to the popular TV show) and short-lived 'Pick Up The Pops For Your D.J.’ LP releases, which took radio performances mostly from the prime pop shows of the time like 'Top Gear', 'Saturday Club', 'Sounds Of The Seveties', that aired live and specifically recorded music. All tracks were also adorned with a fresh commentary from (now legendary) DJ Brian Matthew. Aside from BBC promotional discs, in a very few, fully justified cases an unique, home taped, off-air recordings (expertly remastered and restored and marked below as *) were used. The inner gatefold features a band photos and specific line ups. ALMOST ALL TRACKS PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED ON VINYL!.... SIDE 1: (29:27) 1.

An excellent, Hendrix-inspired instrumental track exclusive to that radio broadcast. 7. Episode Six - I Am A Cloud 1.55 (Gillan/Tacon) Recorded in April 1969. Ian Gillan and Roger Glover 3 months before joining Deep Purple. A weird stuff! 8. Griffin - What A Day It's Been 4.45 (Bell/Gibson/Craddock/Kirtley/White) Recorded on 21st October 1969.

Natural Gas - How Long Were You There 3.56 (Sinclair/Dale) Recorded on 18th October 1971. An unknown, but very good band similar to Leaf Hound, without any record output. 5. Peace - Heartbreaker 5.58 (Rodgers) Recorded on 30th November 1971. An unique version of this future Free classic done by Paul Rodgers with his new trio. 6. Thin Lizzy - Suicide 4.02 (Lynott) Recorded on 14th November 1972. Radio performance with early lyrics - some 3 years before their 'Fighting' LP release. 7. Patto - Loud Green Song 3.41 (Halsall/Patto) Recorded on 12th February 1973. The heaviest track in history of that cool, progressive band. A little weird, but great! -

Wicked Lady are a great, British heavy-rock trio who unfortunately never got any official recordings in their day.

The sound quality is very good though slightly muffled (something like the second T2 album). Highly recommended! (K) A two-disc 2022 reissue, in a gatefold sleeve. -

WISHBONE ASH - WISHBONE ASH - First Lights - April 1970 - May 1971 Studio Sessions - FRA Verne Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
A beautifully released (in a laminated sleeve with nice photographs from the earliest period), superb vinyl edition from the Verne label of the band's first, 40-minute professional recording session, recorded for MCA in the spring of 1970, that is, a few months before the recording of the LP "Wishbone Ash", and found after many years on a so-called Apple label acetate! Five recordings later ended up in changed versions on the re-recorded debut, two are completely unknown, plus the one known from the LP "Pilgrimage" (the short, instrumental "Alone") - here in a charming, somewhat more expansive version with vocals. Additionally two recordings from the sessions for "Pilgrimage" (May 1971) are included: "Where Were You Tomorrow" (studio version!) and the over 6-minute, genuinely wonderfully played "Alone" with vocals! The sound quality is ideal, and the 52-minute black vinyl is perfectly pressed, and also sounds somewhat better and cleaner (without the slight hiss from the acetate) than the CD version ("First Light") and much better than the earlier version from 10 years ago! A MUST! Condition: NEW, sealed.
