[2025] Hanoi Rocks - The Collected Singles (1981 - 1984)(BLR)

[2025] Hanoi Rocks - The Collected Singles (1981 - 1984)(BLR)

Put this together for myself and thought I'd share. Everyone has all the songs of course, but I wanted to have the singles as they were released. All in Flac.

[2020] You Wanna Know What It's Like - A Tribute To The Hollywood Brats & The Boys

[2020] You Wanna Know What It's Like - A Tribute To The Hollywood Brats & The Boys

As requested. This compilation sat on the shelf for nearly 20 years before finally being released Digitally. I was a little disappointed to be honest as I would have loved a hard copy. Of course I made my own, and that's what you have here. It's still hard to believe we lost Andrew and Honest John so close together recently. Many thanks too Desert Island Records out of Italy for putting this together and to all the artists who did outstanding jobs on their Tributes. Simply a must have.

[2025] Joey Ramone - A Closer Look (BLR Edition)

[2025] Joey Ramone - A Closer Look (BLR Edition)

My very good friend G. asked for a copy of this and I thought it would make a great post. Compilation of unreleased tracks from Joey Ramone originally released on a CDr. I think it was from the early 2000's but don't know the exact date. It was reissued on vinyl in 2020 so if you like it go and buy the LP. Enjoy!

The Magnificent Others With Billy Corgan... Sharon Osbourne

The Magnificent Others With Billy Corgan... Sharon Osbourne

Love Billy's podcast and he's really grown into an interviewer, and you can tell he's a real fan of everyone he interviews. The two parter with Paul Stanley is just brilliant and the best member of KISS interview I've ever seen. He even managed in his interview with Gene Simmons to make him come across as not so much of a pillock than he normally does and that's an almost impossible task. If you're a fan of Black Sabbath and Ozzy then this is a must. If you're interested in how the music business works then this is even more than a must.

[1975] Black Sabbath - We Sold Our Soul For Rock 'N' Roll (1986 Reissue)

Watched Billy Corgan's Podcast with Sharon Osbourne and went through a wee Sabbath listening party, and started to organise all my bits and bobs into one file. Thought I'd post something, so this will suffice until I put my own collection together. This is a classic release that I must have listened to a million times. A must have for every collection!

Bills version of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds is class. A must for every collection.

[2025] Ming City Rockers - Ducks, Lemons & Motherfuckers!!! (BLR)

Finally managed to finish this compilation of the usual types of things from the glorious Ming City Rockers. Just a deliciously raucous noise that will put a smile on all of your faces. Can't recommend this one enough!

[2010] Ruby Slippers - The Demos (Recorded 1987)

[2010] Ruby Slippers - The Demos (Recorded 1987)

Time for some old school Glam. There is an album I believe as well as a Bootleg of a Show and a Rehearsal. Sadly I don't have those.

[1999] Space Age Playboys - New Rock Underground

[1999] Space Age Playboys - New Rock Underground

This has been on my "To Post..." pile for far too long. Trashy Glam Rock 'N' Roll from Kory Clarke of Warrior Soul and Johnny Jetson from more cool ass rock 'n' roll bands than you can count. Bands like Tattooed Millionaires and Queer For Girls. Just a glorious sleazy noise.

[2001] Eclipse - The Truth And A Little More

[2001] Eclipse - The Truth And A Little More

A recent request and I thought I'd pop it up straight away before I forget. Something I never really thought I'd be asked for is a little Swedish Melodic Power Metal. They are still around doing their thing, but grew a little samey and stale for me after Bleed And Scream. I'll go with Italy's brilliant Derdian all day for this genre of music. This album is solid and well worth a listen.

[1999] The Boys - Punk Rock Rarities

Just as I'm posting todays posts to my Facebook page I sadly hear that Honest John Plain has passed away after a long illness. Gotta say I'm heartbroken as he's been in my musical life for decades. Thoughts go to his family and friends. Make sure to search and download all the other Honest John I've posted over the years. Just gutted. R.I.P.

[1979] Sly Stone - Ten Years Too Soon

And Sly Stone has sadly left us as well. Going through everything I have and picking one thing to post was difficult as he put out some amazing records. I thought I'd go solo instead of an album with the Family Stone and settled on this. A must have in any collection.  R.I.P.

[1977] Brian Wilson - Adult Child (2000 Millenium Edition)(Unreleased Album)

[1977] Brian Wilson - Adult Child (2000 Millenium Edition)(Unreleased Album)

Sadly Brian Wilson has passed away. Took me awhile to figure out what to post as a wee tribute. Finally settled on this unreleased solo album. It's a must have Bootleg for any fan. R.I.P. to another legend.

[2025] Oasis - A Perfect Place To Start (BLR)

[2025] Oasis - A Perfect Place To Start (BLR)

Was listening to the new The Cure Remix album which is brilliance, and started thinking about what I consider to be 10/10, 5 Star albums as Songs Of A Lost World is easily 5 Star. There are many of course. Personal picks include Prince's Purple Rain, Manic Street Preachers Holy Bible, Jane's Addiction's Nothing Shocking, Adam And The Ants Dirk Wears White Sox, Bjork's Debut, Liz Phair's Exile In Guyville, The Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness, The Dogs D'Amour A Graveyard Of Empty Bottles, PJ Harvey's Rid Of Me, the first A Flock Of Seagulls record. So, so many brilliant records. And my mind turned to... if Oasis put out a 5 Star 10/10 album what would it include. Their albums have always been around a solid 7 or 8/10, sheer brilliance mixed with a couple of filler tracks. Anyway I set myself a task to come up with 13 album tracks, with no B-sides or non album tracks for that perfect 10/10 album. And this is what I came up with after chopping and changing and track list rearranging.

 Lovely comment about my No Kings... post and my response.

[2025] Madonna - Justify The Groove (Remixes)(BLR)

I'm not big on Remixes, but this has been waiting since I posted the Madonna Compilation Causing A Commotion around this time last year. I hummed and hawed about including the William Orbit Remix of Justify My Love, but I love the breathy intro so I left it in. These are just great pop songs. And I do get to things eventually. Photos are of Madonna in the Lower East Side from 1982.

[2025] Pink Floyd - That's Enough Of That! (BLR)

[2025] Pink Floyd - That's Enough Of That! (BLR)

I had a request for one of my Compilations for Pink Floyd. I do like a challenge and this was rather difficult as I'm really not much of a fan. Yes I did the whole naughty substances and go and watch the midnight screening of The Wall several times as a teenager, but they just never resonated. For the life of me I couldn't listen to an entire record front to back as all their records just sound like one endless drone of a song. The only album I really liked was Final Cut, but that has aged badly and I'll probably never listen to it again. Putting this together was the most I've listened to them in years. I guess I could have just put together a collection of the hit singles and done a 2CD thing but that's just not me. So what you have here is my pick of the tracks I do like.

[1971] The Ormonde Folk - Truly Irish

[1971] The Ormonde Folk - Truly Irish

Love of music has to start somewhere and for me this was one of the pivitol albums that led me on this journey. One of the few records I listened to my parents play that has stuck with me my entire life. This was the first LP I ever ripped and I originally posted it back in 2019. It was time for a refresh and an update. Obviously a Live Irish Folk album isn't for everyone, but this is one of my most beloved records.

[2025] Nymphs - Imitating Angels (BLR)

[2025] Nymphs - Imitating Angels (BLR)

I originally posted a version of this in 2021. Time for an update with much better audio quality as I now know what I'm kinda doing. Collects the album and the EP. Inger sadly died late last year and is sorely missed. Just a glorious noise.
