BLUES CREATION (see also: Creation / Dew / Carmen Maki & Oz) - BLUES CREATION - Demon & Eleven Children +1 - EU Once Again Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A revelation! Released in the summer of 1971, the second album by this great Japanese band is a splendid combination of the style of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, at times pushed almost to the extreme - with elements of two lead guitars in the style of Wishbone Ash! Plenty of surprising, ultra-heavy riffs, plenty of changes of tempo and mood, exemplary, slightly bluesy playing by the guitarist and zero filler. The only, small flaw of this sensational album was the vocalist's not entirely convincing English... But who really cares? Alongside the first two records by Flower Travellin' Band, this is probably the most cult album in the history of Japanese heavy rock, and in the original on the Denon label (and in almost perfect condition) it is currently worth 1000 dollars! Additionally included is an 8-minute live version of "Nightmare" (different from the one on the CD "Live!"), previously unreleased on CD! A must! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -
BLUES CREATION (see also: Creation / Dew / Carmen Maki & Oz) - BLUES CREATION - Live! 1971 (+2) - EU Expanded Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
The live album recorded in 1971 had a somewhat more bluesy character than the LP "Demon...", although the band played even these well-known standards in their own way - very heavily and intensely - with countless extended improvisations. To tell the truth, I cannot recall any Anglo-American band that played so juicily and so mightily live! Compared with the old Japanese CD this edition has two more tracks - from the same concert! 74 minutes in total! Excellent sound quality. A must! -
BLUES IMAGE (see also: Iron Butterfly) - BLUES IMAGE - Open - EU Music On CD Edition - LISTENprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
The second album by a hard blues-rock band (with Latin music influences) from the States, with Mike Pinera (later in Iron Butterfly) on guitar. Nice, guitar-driven playing reminiscent of Iron Butterfly with elements of early Santana. In the States it was a very popular album! 2024 reissue. Recommended! (JL) -
BOLDER DAMN - BOLDER DAMN - Mourning - EU Once Again Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
An absolute classic of heavy American rock from the early 70s. This band, usually compared to Black Sabbath, released in 1971 just one, single album (worth a fortune on original vinyl - over 5000 dollars, but the problem is also that there are no copies for sale on the market...) containing seven tracks based on heavy guitar riffs (and meaty solos), and set on very strong rhythm section playing - a bit like Grand Funk, Sir Lord Baltimore, Euclid and Morly Grey. The closing, 16-minute 'Dead Meat' ('Dead Man' by Josefus and early Black Sabbath in one) showed the musicians' progressive inclinations, which only added a certain flavour to the whole. No weak moments - just solid heavy rock! Nobody will be disappointed! A MUST! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -
BON JOVI - BON JOVI – Greatest Hits - Island Records Editionprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
A compilation of BON JOVI's greatest hits from various stages of their career. Besides classics from the 80s and 90s it also contains tracks from the later period, including "It's My Life", "Have a Nice Day" and "We Weren't Born to Follow" -
BUCCANEER - BUCCANEER - Buccaneer - EU Soundvision Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
The sole but very good (privately released) album from 1980 by a forgotten American band playing classic hard rock. -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - Live In Sweden, September 1974 - EU Sweet Leaf Limited Edition - VERY RAREprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A European, limited edition of a very good 73-minute concert, played by the Welshmen in Orebro, Sweden, in September 1974, on the tour promoting their fourth LP, "In For The Kill". On drums was the John Bonham-style Pete Boot. The sound quality (for an audience recording) is very good, but not perfect. Tony Bourge's guitar can be heard excellently, as well as the drums and bass, but Shelley's vocal is somewhat covered by the instruments. The band played brilliantly, the setlist is splendid (including the only known live version of "Living On Your Own"), and the disc is quite tastefully packaged. A must for hard rock fans! Condition: New, sealed. (JL) -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - Budgie +4 - UK Noteworthy Expanded - LISTENprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
In case anyone does not know, the Welsh trio Budgie was the only (relatively little known) band that, on its early records, was able to compete on equal terms with the "Holy Trinity" of heavy rock: Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. Released in 1971 and recorded live in the studio, the debut album contained a mighty dose of very heavy playing with progressive elements. A MUST! -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - In For The Kill! +4 - UK Noteworthy Expanded Edition - LISTENprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
Released in 1974, the brilliant fourth album - probably the heaviest title in the band's discography. The album includes the great title track, "Crash Course In Brain Surgery", released on the debut single (back in 1971), the 10-minute "Zoom Club" rolling along like a steamroller, "Hammer And Tongs", evidently modelled on "Dazed And Confused", and the hard-progressive "Living On Your Own". In addition the unique single version of "Zoom Club" and three tracks in new versions. A MUST! -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - Squawk +4 - UK Noteworthy Expanded Edition - LISTENprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
The British, official edition of the excellent second album - somewhat gentler than the debut, but richer in melody. Released in 1972, the LP "Squawk" contained such excellent tracks as "Rocking Man", "Hot As A Docker's Armpit", "Young Is The World" and "Stranded". A MUST! (JL) -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - Bandolier +4 - UK Noteworthy Expanded Edition - LISTENprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
Released in 1975, the fifth album - in the opinion of many the last magical record by this Welsh heavy rock band. The album includes several fantastic numbers, such as "Napoleon Bona Part", "Breaking All The House Rules" and "I Can't See My Feelings" (covered years later by Iron Maiden). The remastered British edition includes some very nice bonuses, among them the single "Honey" (from 1975), "Who Do You Want For Love" played live on BBC TV (1975) and two live tracks from 1980. A MUST! (JL) -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - BBC Recordings 1972-1982 (2CD) - UK Noteworthy Expanded Editionprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
A double CD released by the band, containing a half-hour concert from 1972 (stunning!); several studio tracks from BBC sessions, from 1976-81, and two 40-minute concerts from the Reading Festival - from 1980 and 1982. Highly recommended! (JL) -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - Deliver Us From Evil +3 - UK Noteworthy Expandedprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
British reissue of the band's last catalogue record, from 1982 (released just after the tour in Poland) and containing three additional tracks. Please look at the third photo, containing a reprint of an article from the Polish press! -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - If I Were Brittania I'd Waive The Rules +2 - UK Noteworthy Remastered Editionprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
British edition of the sixth album, supplemented with two bonus tracks recorded by the original line-up - in the summer of 2006. -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - If Swallowed Do Not Induce Vomiting +2 - UK Noteworthy Remastered Expanded Editionprice: 70,00 PLN / 17,50 EUR
Recorded with a new guitarist (Tony Bourge, who had played since the band's beginning, was replaced by John Thomas), a great mini-album from 1980. In the new line-up the band began to play harder, even metal, harking back to the output of the heavy rock/metal front rank of the time. The record contains four brand new compositions in the style of the recordings of bands such as AC/DC, Judas Priest and Def Leppard. Of course on the recordings on this CD you can also hear the "old" Budgie! The band did not change overnight but evolved in a natural way! As a bonus we get 2 live recordings from 1980 - of decent, though unfortunately not perfect, quality. This is an absolutely classic item in the band's discography! Definitely recommended. -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - Impeckable +3 - UK Noteworthy Expanded Editionprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
Remastered British edition of the seventh album. Plus a single mix, two versions from 2008 and two clips to watch on a computer. Recommended. -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - Last Stage - Unreleased Tracks (1979-1984) - UK Noteworthy Editionprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
Previously unreleased material - also from the never-released 11th record. The CD was released by the label associated with the band. -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - Life In San Antonio - UK Noteworthy Editionprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
A quite decent concert from 2002. -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - Live In Birmingham 1979 - FRA On The Air Remastered Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Limited to 500 copies, a French CD containing an excellent-sounding, hour-long concert from Birmingham from December 1979. It was the band's first show with guitarist John Thomas in the line-up - half a year before the LP 'Power Supply'. I draw your attention to the very interesting setlist, including 'Can't Get Up In The Morning', not released on any record, and also a unique, 8-minute medley 'In For The Kill/Rape Of The Locks/Guts'). It was a radio broadcast, so the whole thing (after noise reduction and mastering) sounds almost ideal! The material is also available on vinyl. A must! -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - Live In Milwaukee 1978 - FRA On The Air Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
This French, fan-club CD contains the full, 80-minute concert that was recorded (by the quartet, then playing with two guitars) on the American tour promoting the LP "Impeckable". The sound quality is very good, because from what I know it is the first cassette copy from the original reel recorded straight from the mixing desk. The only problem is the fact that in the first track ("Melt The Ice Away") the first minute was missing and it has been patched in from the official CD "Radio Sessions". Of course hiss has been removed, the bass and treble boosted a little - it is better than very good! ATTENTION! One more thing! Five days earlier, during the same tour, material was recorded at the A&M studios in Los Angeles, which came out on the CD "Heavier Than Air", and then on the CD "Radio Sessions" released by the band. The problem is that that (theoretically great-sounding concert) was by someone... sped up! 65 minutes were played in 63 and a half! The band 'played too fast' and to tell the truth I always had the impression that something was not right - it was livelier, but rather light... Only after listening to "Live In Milwaukee 1978" did it dawn on me that the official material sold by the band is faulty! Either way, the Milwaukee concert is recorded at the proper speed and contains two more tracks than the Los Angeles one: "Sky High Percentage" and "Zoom Club". In addition several nice photos from the same tour are included. This is a great treat for fans of heavy rock! Highly recommended! -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - Live In St. Louis 1976 - FRA On The Air Edition - VERY RAREprice: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
Limited, fan-club, great CD containing a 65-minute, radio performance by the band (now a quartet - with an additional rhythm guitarist) from St. Louis in December 1976, from the tour promoting the fifth and sixth records. This 80-minute CD sounds 25% better than the old, Italian bootleg "Live In Concert", and also contains a 10-minute "Parents". The sound quality is very good (from the mixing desk - so-called soundboard), but with some fluctuations in the level of both guitars (especially in the first two tracks) and with a fairly loud vocal. The whole thing sounds slightly better than the still very good CD "Live In Milwaukee 1978". In addition, at the end two tracks recorded nine days earlier in New York are included - of weaker quality, but very rare and valuable. For example the track "Pyramid", known from the later LP "Impeckable", has a superb, 3-minute speed-up - heavily limited on the studio record. A must! -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - MCA Albums 1973-1975: Never Turn Your Back On A Friend / In For The Kill / Bandolier (3CD + booklet) - EU Remastered Edition - LISTENprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
Released in June 2016, a box set containing the band's three most popular albums (the third to the fifth in the discography) from 1973-1975 - transferred from the master tape. The discs are slipped into three gatefold digipaks. In addition, an attractive booklet has been included with the history of the band and many rare photos. Excellent sound quality! A must! -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - Never Turn Your Back On A Friend +3 - UK Noteworthy Expanded - LISTENprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
If someone wants to own only one Budgie album (which is nonsense in itself - you need at least the first 4-5 records...), they should choose this very one, released in 1973, a heavy rock masterpiece! A British, remastered edition of the brilliant third album, containing, among others, "Breadfan" and "Parents" - the two most popular tracks by this superb band. In addition the best version of "Baby Please Don't Go" and the ear-crushing "In The Grip Of A Tyrefitter's Hand". Among the bonuses are the original, brilliant "Breadfan" clip (not "live", but the classic studio version from 1973 - still with Ray Phillips) and two new versions from 2004. AN ABSOLUTE MUST! -
BUDGIE - BUDGIE - Nightflight +2 - UK Noteworthy Remastered Expanded Editionprice: 100,00 PLN / 25,00 EUR
British edition of the great ninth album by the Welshmen, made during the period of the NWOBHM's dominance and adorned with a great cover by Derek Riggs (Iron Maiden). Plus two live recordings from 1981. Recommended.
