12"

Debut full-length solo album (eventually the third in career) by legendary Swedish Neoclassical/Shred/Hard Rock/Power Metal guitarist-virtuoso.
Yngwie J. Malmsteen, a virtuoso guitarist who burst onto the music scene in the early 1980s with the rather stereotypical 80s Metal band Alcatrazz, became renowned for his speedy play and mesmerizing solos. After Yngwie departed from Alcatrazz, he launched a highly successful solo-career. Yngwie's debut album "Rising Force" put Malmsteen on the map as a solo artist when the album drew critical acclaim for it's virtuoso-like guitar work. Yngwie followed "Rising Force" with his second album, "Marching Out". Yngwie's sophomore release didn't draw as much praise as his debut did, but it nevertheless was another work of sheer guitar brilliance and helped elevate Yngwie to the ranks of a guitar-god.
Malmsteen was hyped, if not over-hyped, when he came into the music scene early in his career. Many called him the "Next Hendrix" and critics began to deem Yngwie as the next great guitarist, and possibly the best to ever live. While Yngwie's rankings as a guitarist are up for debate, in order to live up to his praises, Yngwie released "Trilogy" - his second-best album after "Rising Force".
"Trilogy" shows a more mature side of Yngwie, both in his guitar and in his lyrics, and finds him delving wholeheartedly into fantastic, medieval themes and lyrical imagery. Yngwie's compositional skills are at their peak, and of all his albums, the lyrics here contribute the most to the overall feel of the music. The guitar solos, as always, are jaw-droppingly fast and technically demanding, but Malmsteen is still capable of playing them with force and fire behind them.
In the liner notes, Malmsteen dedicates the album to the memory of the late Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme, who was assassinated on 28 February 1986.
"Trilogy" is an album that shows Malmsteen's amazing guitar work as well as his descent lyrical potential. The album reached #44 on that year's Billboard 200 chart and remained charted for thirteen weeks.
This rare Russian edition has titles and tracks marked in English and Russian.

The ninth full-length studio album by legendary American Blues/New Wave/Synth-Rock/Hard Rock band.
"Afterburner" is a follow-up to their blockbuster "Eliminator". No matter how much you dress ZZ Top up, they're still ZZ Top. Sometimes they can trick you into thinking they're a little flashier than usual, but they're still a Blues band from Texas, kicking out Blues Rockers. And Blues Rock just doesn't kick when it's synthesized, even if ZZ Top's grooves always bordered on robotic. So, "Afterburner", their most synthetic album, will not please most ZZ Top fans, even if it did go Platinum several times over and reached number four. That's all just a sign of the times, when even Hard Rock bands had to sound as slick as Synth Pop, complete with clanging DX-7s and cavernous drums.
As an artifact of that time, "Afterburner" is pretty good. All this means that "Afterburner" is merely a product of its time - the only record ZZ Top could have made at the time.
Although critics' response to the album was lukewarm, "Afterburner" was a commercial success, eventually going Platinum five times and launching one hit Single, "Sleeping Bag", which peaked at No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks and at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, equalling the peak of their previous Single, "Legs". The album yielded three other Top 40 Singles in the United States: "Stages" (no. 21), "Rough Boy" (no. 22), and "Velcro Fly" (no. 35).
The album was the band's first to hit number 1, topping the charts in New Zealand. It peaked at number 4 on the Billboard 200, at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart, and at number 6 on the Australian albums chart. In the UK, it was the band's second album to be certified by the British Phonographic Industry, attaining Gold (100 000 units) in 1985. In 1990, it was certified Platinum (300 000 units).

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary American Blues/Boogie/Hard Rock band.
The first ZZ Top release on Warner Bros. Records and eventually went Platinum.
Returning from a two-year hiatus, the band began to showcase the influence they have collected during the time away; Gibbons' time in Europe introduced him to Punk music, the influences of which seeped into the creation of the album. The band also consciously tried experimenting with technology: Gibbons saw an episode of The Phil Donahue Show where a person's identity was protected using silhouette and a pitch shifter; liking the sound, he asked engineer Manning to call the show and find out what the effects unit was. Manning eventually convinced a reluctant show producer to reveal it, and the effect was used for both vocals and guitars on songs like "Manic Mechanic".
The album also marked the first time that ZZ Top featured cover versions on a studio album: "I Thank You" by Isaac Hayes/David Porter and "Dust My Broom", credited on early editions to Elmore James but subsequently credited to Robert Johnson, who recorded it in 1936. Elmore James had adapted and popularized the song in 1951.

The second official re-release on vinyl of the debut full-length studio album by legendary Soviet New Wave/Post-Punk Rock band.
The album was recorded together with musicians from the Aquarium band, and released on reels in 1982. At that time, Kino consisted of only two members: Viktor Tsoi and Alexey Rybin; the musicians were not yet widely known and the opportunity to record the material accumulated over three years was obtained thanks to the assistance of Boris Grebenshchikov. The album was mixed underground - in the House of Pioneers, where Andrey Tropillo set up a semi-legal recording studio "AnTrop".
"Forty Five" was one of the first Rock albums in the Soviet Union to use a drum machine instead of a real drum-kit. In addition to acoustic, electric and bass guitars, flute, cello, and bells were actively used to create the required sound.
It's the only studio work in the band's discography in which Alexey Rybin took part, since due to ideological differences with Viktor Tsoi, he soon left Kino, and the two musicians never met again on purpose - they only crossed paths a couple of times at mixed concerts ("solyankas"), but never spoke to each other.
Unlike the other albums of the band, "Forty Five" was not released on vinyl until 2012. During the recording, a significant technical error was made, which did not allow the material to be reissued in the gramophone record format in the future, and until 1994 it existed only on the reel. In the mid-1990s, the Moroz Records produced several reissues in digital form on CD. In 2012, the album was first released on vinyl by Moroz Records, with digital remastering in a limited edition of 1,000 copies.
Many of the songs on the album gained great popularity, were included in numerous compilations, and became part of the band's concert repertoire until its breakup in 1990.
There are two fundamental differences between this release and previous versions of the album: the album is released for the first time at the correct speed (on all previous editions it was considerably overstated), and also for the first time an original collage was used for the design. You will learn about all the other nuances from the booklet, included in this release, and also in the accompanying video review.

Completely restored and delicately remastered re-release of the seventh full-length studio album by legendary Soviet New Wave/Post-Punk Rock band.
Released only a year before the Victor Tsoi's tragic death, "Zvezda Po Imeni Solnce" was the last album to come out in the singer's lifetime. Recorded in 1989, “Звезда По Имени Солнце” is one of the best albums in band's discography. The lyrics of the album notable for its mostly personal struggle-oriented lyrics and thoughtful, sad, lonely or sometimes sinister atmosphere.
The album went on sale in the summer of 1989. The recording was distributed on compact cassettes. The first official release of the album appeared in 1993, released by Moroz Records. But the quality of the sound was spoiled.
For the first time in the past 30 years, the Original Master Tape has been used for the production of this re-release, including every second restoration of the phonogram.
