[2025] NY Loose - Late 20th Century Blues (BLR)
This compilation doesn't collect the complete NY Loose Singles Discography as I'm still missing a rare 7" B-side, and three album tracks weren't released as A or B-Sides so they're not included. I'm just redoing the Year Of The Rat extended version I posted in 2022, so with that you should have everything bar the 7" B-Side.
[2007] NY Loose - Born To Loose (Fading Ways Compilation)
Repost request. Just finished one of my compilations for posting tomorrow. Seriously well recommended!
[2025] Sylvain Sylvain - Rock 'N' Roll Is For Dancing (BLR)
Hopefully this compilation will make up for yesterdays. With this and my last Sylvain post you should have most of Sylvain's solo studio tracks apart from the Batusis EP.
[2025] Cliff Richard - Dreamin' (A BLR Mini-Album)
I was talking with my sister about the movie Summer Holiday which we used to watch when we were kids, and she wanted me to track down a copy. And that led to this. I'm not a Cliff fan and have always found his music pretty cringe, but here are the songs I like. This will probably go down like a lead balloon, and I won't be surprised. Still, I put it together for myself so you all get it as well. And yes those are photos of Cliff with Jayne Mansfield!
[2025] Lita Ford - Under The Gun (BLR)
Set myself a task as I like to do, to put a single disc collection of my favourite Lita Ford tracks from her first five albums together. Really could have just posted all the albums as I dig them all. After several versions I've settled on this. If there's any interest in this I might do one for the other 4 studio albums. Lita is still out there touring and kicking rock 'n' roll butt, so if you get the chance, go out and see her.
Alex Mitchell
Apart from the last couple of Circus Of Power releases this should cover, with everything I've already posted, all of Alex's non COP records. Or as far as I know and have.

[2025] The Waitresses - Wait Here... I'll Be Right Back (2CD)(BLR)
New Wave loveliness. This collects the A's & B's in order of release and the cracking sounds of the King Biscuit Flower Hour Radio gig from 1982. Always though it was a shame that Patty was a hopeless drunk and so difficult, and because of that the band crumbled. Still, they left behind two cracking records and some awesome tunes.

[2025] Sylvain Sylvain - Butterfly Bowery Blues (BLR)
I was putting another Sylvain compilation together when I thought I'd do an EP type thing with just the singles in order of release. But it morphed into this collection. All the singles plus a bunch of appearances and rarities. The other compilation I'll pop up when I've done the artwork.
[2018] Morgue Poetry - In The Absence Of Light
I've got two Compilations of Nergal's Me And That Man ready to post and was thinking what else I could pop up as an introduction to Dark Folk and came up with this gem. It's a mix where Goth meets the Blues. Morgue Poetry is German musician Konstantin Michaely from Death Cult 69 and Wisborg. All acoustic moody folk and just a lovely noise. Well recommended.
[2025] Captain Zapped - Rag Town City Vampires (BLR)
Between the end of Uncle Max's Cosmic Band and the reformation of Circus Of Power, Alex put together this sleazy, trash outfit. This compilation collects all their releases. All the band needed was better production and management. Great bit of noise for your ears and well recommended!

[2023] Spike's Late Night Song Book 2 (DVD Audio BLR)
Audio rip from the DVD. Wasn't sure whether to include the last two tracks 7 O'Clock and Sweet Mary Ann as they are glitched on the DVD and that of course transfers to the audio rip. Thought you all might want the whole thing though. I've also amplified it in a couple of places as it was quiet and the mastering was a bit naff. Spike is of course on his usual behaviour, which is always good for a laugh. Many thanks to Salva for his time and generosity.
[2003] Uncle Max's Cosmic Band - Licking The Toad In The Black Forest (CDr)
A request. This is one of Alex Mitchell's post Circus Of Power bands. If you're expecting something similar to Circus Of Power then you're in for a surprise. It's more like a mix of sludgy blues and acid rock. Maybe not for everyone, but I dig it. Enjoy!

[2025] Trash Brats - Electric Bubble Gum!!! (BLR)
Tony Romeo bassist for the Trash Brats has sadly just passed away. As a tribute I've updated the collection of Covers and Rarities that I originally posted in 2022. I first heard the Trash Brats on the Italian Dogs D'Amour Tribute album Bullet Proof Poems from 1999, and loved their version of Firework Girl. Been a fan since. Thoughts go to his family, friends and fans.
Elvis
Another couple of things celebrating the legacy of Elvis, as this week is the 48th Anniversary of his death.
First up is a Follow That Dream extended version of the soundtrack to Spinout. Absolutely silly soundtrack to a silly movie, but there's some really funny moments in the Bonus Track Outtakes that's worth a listen. And secondly is a Compilation of pre- 1968 songs that I love. Enjoy!
