Frampton Peter - Carry The Light CD
Peter Kenneth Frampton (narodený 22. apríla 1950) je anglický hudobník, ktorý sa preslávil ako člen rockových kapiel The Herd a Humble Pie. Neskôr vo svojej kariére Frampton dosiahol značný úspech ako sólový umelec. Vydal niekoľko albumov vrátane svojho prelomového albumu, koncertnej nahrávky Frampton Comes Alive! (1976), ktorá priniesla niekoľko hitových singlov a získala 8-násobnú platinovú certifikáciu od RIAA v Spojených štátoch. Spolupracoval aj s rôznymi ďalšími interpretmi, ako sú Ringo Starr, John Entwistle z The Who, David Bowie, Joe Bonamassa a Matt Cameron a Mike McCready z Pearl Jam.
Peter Frampton je členom Rock & Rollovej siene slávy, gitarovým virtuózom a skladateľom hitov. Po rozlúčkovom turné v roku 2019 sa spočiatku zdalo, že nastal jeho čas odísť do dôchodku. Čoskoro si však uvedomil, že chce pokračovať. Vo veku 75 rokov a presne 50 rokov po uvedení svojho albumu číslo jeden *Frampton Comes Alive!* teraz vydáva svoj prvý nový album originálnych rockových piesní po 16 rokoch. Album napísal spolu so svojím synom Julianom. Okrem samotného Petra Framptona album produkoval aj jeho syn a Chuck Ainlay.Desať piesní je cestou kúzlom rock 'n' rollu, na ktorej účinkujú významní hostia ako H.E.R., Benmont Tench, Sheryl Crow, Bill Evans, Tom Morello a Graham Nash.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Trilogy (2026 Repress) 2CD
Anglická skupina Emerson, Lake & Palmer je často považovaná za superskupinu. V kapele, ktorá sa venovala progresívnemu rocku, sa zišli klávesista Keith Emerson, spevák, basgitarista a producent Greg Lake a bubeník Carl Palmer. Súbor patril k najúspešnejším a najpopulárnejším kapelám sedemdesiatych rokov, v tvrobe prepájal rockovú hudbu s jazzom či symfonickými prvkami, jeho poznávacím znamením bol zvuk Emersonových kláves.
Album „Trilogy“, prvýkrát vydaný v roku 1972, znamenal vrchol v práci Emersona, Lakea & Palmera. Kombinuje technickú precíznosť kapely s niektorými z ich najpriamejších textov, vrátane nadčasového singla „From the Beginning“ a rozľahlej titulnej skladby. Táto edícia na 2 CD, remasterovaná v roku 2015, ponúka nový remaster pôvodného albumu, ktorý dodáva mixu väčšiu jasnosť a hĺbku, pričom si zachováva svoj analógový charakter. Okrem hlavného albumu obsahuje druhé CD alternatívne zábery, skoré verzie a predtým nevydaný štúdiový materiál, ktorý ponúka detailný pohľad na tvorbu jedného z najviac zameraných albumov ELP. Pre zberateľov a dlhoročných fanúšikov je toto vydanie ultimátnou rozšírenou verziou kľúčového diela progresívneho rocku.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Black Moon (2026 Repress) 2CD
Anglická skupina Emerson, Lake & Palmer je často považovaná za superskupinu. V kapele, ktorá sa venovala progresívnemu rocku, sa zišli klávesista Keith Emerson, spevák, basgitarista a producent Greg Lake a bubeník Carl Palmer. Súbor patril k najúspešnejším a najpopulárnejším kapelám sedemdesiatych rokov, v tvrobe prepájal rockovú hudbu s jazzom či symfonickými prvkami, jeho poznávacím znamením bol zvuk Emersonových kláves.
Album „Black Moon“, prvýkrát vydaný v roku 1992, znamenal návrat Emerson, Lake & Palmer po štrnástich rokoch absencie v štúdiu. S Keithom Emersonom, Gregom Lakeom a Carlom Palmerom začala nová éra. Album spája typickú technickú brilantnosť kapely so štíhlejším produkčným štýlomzačiatku 90. rokov. Toto 2-CD vydanie, remastrované v roku 2017, predstavuje pôvodný album s vylepšenou čistotou a vyváženosťou, vďaka čomu má rytmická sekcia väčší vplyv a Emersonova hra na klávesy je jasnejšia. Skladby ako strhujúca titulná skladba „Black Moon“ a melodická „Affairs of the Heart“ zdôrazňujú album, ktorý kombinuje klasické progové ambície so súčasným rockovým cítením. Druhé CD rozširuje set o bonusový materiál, vrátane B-strán a iných nahrávok z tohto obdobia, čím poskytuje komplexnejší pohľad na poslednú štúdiovú kapitolu ELP. Pre zberateľov a dlhoročných poslucháčov je toto vydanie najkompletnejšou a zvukovo najlepšou verziou prelomovej neskorej tvorby kapely.

Rolling Stones, The - In The Stars MCD
"The Rolling Stones" je anglická rocková skupina založená v Londýne v roku 1962. Aktívna už viac ako šesť desaťročí, je jednou z najpopulárnejších a najtrvalejších kapiel rockovej éry. Začiatkom 60. rokov boli Rolling Stones priekopníkmi drsného, rytmicky riadeného zvuku, ktorý definoval hard rock. Ich prvú stabilnú zostavu tvorili spevák Mick Jagger, multiinštrumentalista Brian Jones, gitarista Keith Richards, basgitarista Bill Wyman a bubeník Charlie Watts. Počas ich formovania bol Jones hlavným lídrom: zostavil skupinu, pomenoval ju a riadil jej zvuk a imidž. Po tom, čo sa v roku 1963 stal manažérom skupiny Andrew Loog Oldham, povzbudil ich, aby napísali svoje vlastné piesne. Jagger a Richards sa stali primárnou tvorivou silou kapely, čím odcudzili Jonesa, ktorý si vyvinul drogovú závislosť, ktorá zasahovala do jeho schopnosti zmysluplne prispievať. "The Rolling Stones" majú odhadovaný predaj nahrávok na úrovni 200 miliónov, čo z nich robí jedného z najpredávanejších hudobných umelcov všetkých čias. Kapela získala tri ceny Grammy a cenu Grammy za celoživotné dielo. V roku 1989 ich uviedli do Rokenrolovej siene slávy a v roku 2004 do Britskej hudobnej siene slávy. Časopis Billboard a Rolling Stones zaradili skupinu medzi jednu z najväčších všetkých čias.
Nový album s názvom Foreign Tongues od legendárnych The Rolling Stones. Necelé tri roky po vydaní veľmi uznávanej a úspešnej dosky Hackney Diamonds prichádzajú rockeri s kolekciou 14 trackov na CD. "Bolo to intenzívnych niekoľko týždňov nahrávania v Metropolis Studios v Londýne. Miestnosť nie je veľmi veľká, ale vďaka tomu môžete cítiť tú vášeň," hovorí Mick Jagger. „Je požehnanie, že stále môžeme robiť hudbu, kiež by to vydržalo čo najdlhšie,“ dopĺňa Keith Richards. „Sme vo forme, dúfam, že sa nový album bude všetkým páčiť,“ uzatvára Ronnie Wood rozprávanie o doske Foreign Tongues, na ktorej sa objaví aj mnoho hostí ako Paul McCartney, Robert Smith z The Cure alebo Chad Smith z Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Settling Debt
Settling Debt overturns the familiar tale of early antislavery as a pure moral triumph by revealing its uneasy ties to colonial ambition and economic anxiety. Cameron Seglias shows how, from the late seventeenth century through the American Revolution, settlers and religious writers condemned slavery as a threat to their own prosperity and salvation. Debt, understood both as money owed and moral obligation, anchored their vision of freedom and shaped how they justified seizing Indigenous lands while denouncing racial bondage. Drawing from neglected books, pamphlets, poems, and dramatic protests, like the radical acts of Benjamin Lay, Seglias weaves literary close readings with sharp historical insights to expose how freedom and dispossession were two sides of the same coin. At once readable and provocative, Settling Debt compels us to see how the language of moral debt masked the building of a colonial order rooted in inequality. In revisiting this past, Seglias offers a timely reminder: The debts of America's founding have yet to be settled.
Marvels: The Novelization
For the first time, a novelization of Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross' bestselling and now classic miniseries from 1994-Marvels, offering an thrilling all-new interpretation of one of the most famous stories in Marvel Comics history.
Welcome to New York. Here, burning figures roam the streets, men in brightly colored costumes scale the glass and concrete walls, creatures from space threaten to devour our world . . . and everyone else is going about their lives.
This is the Marvel Universe, where the ordinary and fantastic interact daily. This is the world of Marvels-one of the most important and bestselling stories in Marvel Comics history, which Stan Lee described in his introduction to the first collected edition as "innovative, brilliantly conceived, and skillfully executed."
Over 30 years later, Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross' groundbreaking comic book series Marvels gets a long-awaited novelization by Steve Darnall, author of Uncle Sam and Ross's writing partner on the original proposal.
Marvels was a landmark series when it was first published-peeling back the curtain on Marvel's history. It's a story told from the perspective of an everyman character-news photographer Phil Sheldon-who chronicles a world full of costumed superhumans, providing an on-the-ground view of events in the Marvel Universe as they unfold. Darnall's prose perfectly captures the magic of Busiek and Ross' original story, offering insights and background previously untold in the comic book.
Tying the story together in a stunning package is an all-new painted cover, four all-new color illustrations, and four all-new black-and-white illustrations by Alex Ross, as well as an all-new afterword by Ross.
Pioneer Summer - The Pioneer Series 1
This star-crossed gay romance is a #1 bestselling TikTok sensation that took readers by storm, made international news, and catalyzed one of Russia's largest-ever crackdowns on LGBTQ representation.
Cowritten by a Ukrainian-Russian duo, Pioneer Summer reached such heights of popularity that Putin stepped in to ban it. Now this swoony romance will transport American readers to another place and time and introduce them to one of the most memorable relationships of their lives.
The year is 1986, and Yurka Konev, 16, has been sent off for another summer at Pioneer Camp. Impulsive, forthright, and unfairly branded as a troublemaker, he anticipates the weeks ahead of him with boredom and dread.
But when he's pushed into working on the camp's theater production, he meets serious, thoughtful troop leader Volodya. Yurka finds himself drawn to the slightly older boy, and, surprisingly, Volodya seems to like him, too. The two boys grow closer and closer, and though both fear the consequences of their illegal attraction, its gravity pulls them together.
Now, 20 years later, Yury returns to the abandoned camp to reminisce on the relationship that changed his life forever-and discovers that not all history is destined to remain in the past.

Sick Boy starts an intense relationship with Amanda, his ‘princess’ – rich, connected, everything that he is not. When the pair set a date for their wedding, Sick Boy sees a chance for his generation to take control at last.
But as the 1990s dawn, will finding love be the answer to the group’s dreams or just another doomed quest?

Kulturní (dis)kontinuity v českém pohraničí
Východočeské pohraničí bývá často líčeno jako kraj „přerušené paměti“ a ztracených kořenů. Tato kolektivní monografie však nabízí jiný pohled. Představuje Krkonoše, Podkrkonoší, Broumovsko i další oblasti jako dynamický prostor, kde se minulost a přítomnost neustále prolínají – jako místo setkávání, výměny i napětí.
Zásadním zlomem vývoje byla poválečná depopulace spojená s vysídlením německého obyvatelstva a následným dosídlováním. Znamenal tento proces skutečně přerušení kulturní kontinuity? Autoři knihy ukazují, že odpověď není jednoznačná. I v prostředí hlubokých demografických změn mohou kulturní vzorce přetrvávat, proměňovat se nebo znovu vznikat.
Prostřednictvím historických, antropologických i sociologických přístupů publikace sleduje vztah mezi populačními proměnami a kulturním přenosem. Zaměřuje se na paměť krajiny, každodenní život obyvatel, roli institucí i způsoby, jimiž různé skupiny „čtou“ minulost a dávají jí nový význam.
Kniha tak překonává zjednodušující obraz pohraničí jako „vykořeněného“ prostoru a ukazuje jej jako mnohovrstevnatý region, v němž se historická zkušenost nestírá, ale znovu interpretuje – a stává se součástí současných identit.
Jeviště v mé prasklé hlavě
Toto je autobiografie Břetislava Rychlíka. Mozaika vzpomínek, historek a setkání, v nichž se osobní příběh setkává s dějinami českého divadla.
Quirky Sheffield
Sheffield grew rapidly during the Industrial Revolution to become one of the largest cities in the country by the nineteenth century. It was best known for its cutlery industry, producing stainless steel locally, and its steel and coal industries played a vital role in the war effort in the Second World War, leading to the city being targeted by German aerial bombardment. Despite the industrialisation, Sheffield has more green spaces than most cities in Britain and more trees per head of population than any other city in Europe. Lying on the edge of the Peak District, many streets climb into the hills with views beyond the city boundaries.Drawing on archive material as well as his own, extensive, local knowledge Robert Nicholls presents a fresh look at Sheffield - from a slightly different angle – as he delves into lesser known but fascinating tales from the city’s past. Quirky Sheffield celebrates the unusual and often strange history of Sheffield and its characters over the years. This fascinating insight into Sheffield will be of interest to all those who want to know more about the city’s quirky history.
South Wales: A National Bus Company
South Wales Transport, as a National Bus Company, served a large and diverse area of South West Wales, from Port Talbot in the east, throughout the industrial Swansea Valley and City, and out across rural West Wales to the remote Pembrokeshire coast. It had grown following National Bus Company’s acquisition of BET/THC bus companies in South Wales. With the resulting overlapping areas of services, NBC reorganised its operations and from January 1971 South Wales Transport took control of United Welsh Services, Thomas Brothers (Port Talbot) and Neath & Cardiff Luxury Coaches. In 1972 Western Welsh services from Neath and Haverfordwest were also transferred to South Wales Transport, leaving Western Welsh only operating to the east of South Wales Transport. The outcome of these four acquisitions was a fascinating and diverse fleet, a rich mix of BTC and BET vehicles, an early user of Minibuses, Inter-urban joint coach services and the well-known AEC Regents, including the short version for Gower services. In this book you are taken on a fascinating pictorial journey back to the 1970s and early 1980s when De Cymru Poppy Red buses could still be seen climbing steeply up to Townhill from the centre of Swansea, through the industrial Lower Swansea Valley and to the far distant rural lanes around Haverfordwest.
British Airways in 100 Objects
British Airways has an almost unique history. Spanning over a century from the first flight of Aircraft Transport and Travel Ltd from London to Paris in 1919 to the modern fuel-efficient aircraft of its current fleet, British Airways has proudly connected Britain to the World and the World to Britain. Over that journey through the rapidly evolving early years of pioneering aviation, taking days to cross continents with biplanes and seaplanes, through the post-war piston-engine luxury, the iconic jet age of the fabulous Boeing 707 and 747, the supersonic marvel of Concorde into the modern era of travel, British Airways has seen many historic events and carried literally billions of customers. Along the way that journey has generated vast amounts of treasured items, many of which are now displayed or stored at British Airways headquarters near Heathrow in its truly incredible museum, the Speedbird Centre. Much of the archive has true national importance and is kept as part of the nation’s heritage. From simple in-flight mementos to the Olympic torch, the items featured in this book represent just a flavour of that collection and bring decades of flight to life.
The Latecomer's Rise
In The Latecomer's Rise, Muyang Chen reveals the nature and impact of a rapidly growing form of international lending: Chinese development finance. Over the past few decades, China has become the world's largest provider of bilateral development finance. Through its two national policy banks, the China Development Bank (CDB) and the Export-Import Bank of China (China Exim), it has funded infrastructure and industrial projects in numerous emerging markets and developing countries. Yet this very surge and magnitude of capital has raised questions about the characteristics of Chinese bilateral lending and its repercussions on the international order. Drawing on a variety of novel Chinese primary sources, including interviews and official bank documents, Chen pinpoints the distinctiveness of Chinese bilateral development finance, explains its origins, and analyzes its effects. She compares Chinese policy banks with their foreign counterparts to show that the CDB and China Exim, while state-supported, are in fact also market-oriented - they are as much government organs as they are profit-driven financial agencies that serve both state and firms' interests. This approach, which emerged out of China's particular economic history, suggests that Chinese overseas lending is not merely a tool of economic statecraft that challenges Western-led economic regimes. Instead, China's responses to extant rules, norms, and practices across given issue areas have varied between contestation and convergence.
