[2022] Dawn After Dark - Ghetto Gods (BLR Remastered Compilation)

[2022] Dawn After Dark - Ghetto Gods (BLR Remastered Compilation)

Had Dawn After Dark requested, and it wasn't a band I had thought of posting before, but I probably should have. I thought I had a couple more Demo tracks and another Live show or two, but I just can't find them. I remastered it all so it sounds pretty good and flows nicely. If I find the missing Shows and Demos I will post them as well.

[2009] Depeche Mode - Greatest Hits : Star Mark Compilation Vol.1

With the sad passing of Andy Fletcher I feel I have to post something as a wee tribute. It took some thinking but I settled on two Russian Bootleg Compilations from the Star Mark Label. This is the first 2CD collection.

[2022] Halestorm - Beginnings (Demos & Rarities 1997 - 2003)

[2022] Halestorm - Beginnings (Demos & Rarities 1997 - 2003)

Starting with the early Elizabeth Hale Demos through to the early beginnings of Halestorm. All given the Black Lodge treatment. I couldn't get rid of some of the tape hiss from the early Elizabeth Hale solo cassette demos, but all up I think I got it sounding pretty good. Recommended for any Halestorm fans... and go and get the new album Back From The Dead coz it's awesome!!!

[2022] The Hellacopters - Straight Until Morning

[2022] The Hellacopters - Straight Until Morning (The Covers)

I've been working on this for quite awhile, and it's taken input from a lot of people to get a complete list of cover songs The Hellacopters have recorded. There's a lot more that they have only done live as well, but this should compile all the studio recordings. If anyone sees that I'm missing anything please let me know.

[2022] Wild August - Here Comes The Night (The Complete...)

[2022] Wild August - Here Comes The Night (The Complete...)

Another forgotten band... Had Wild August requested so I've put this compilation together. Contains the two Albums and the Single. Awesome musicians with solid songs who just came around at the wrong time. The early 90's sadly killed off a lot of great bands with a lot of talent.

[2022] Wild August - Here Comes The Night (The Complete...)

[1983] Takashi - Kamikaze Killers (EP)

[1983] Takashi - Kamikaze Killers (EP)

200,000 Blog Views...

Just hit 200,000 Blog views! I'm still absolutely astonished that folks seem to like all my nonsense. When I first started the Blog I honestly didn't think anyone would care, and I never expected to ever have the response I have gotten. It's just me sitting here in my living room down here in New Zealand posting music I love. So I just want to say thank you all for all your support, and there is much more to come!

[2022] Faster Pussycat - A Black Lodge Relics Introduction To

Todays post... This is the second of my "Introduction to..." BLR Series. This is Faster Pussycat. More bands will feature over the coming months. Check out the first edition Black Sabbath Ozzy Era collection.... I'm sure others will pick different tracks, but these are my Pussycat faves of the moment. And yes that is Tura Satana in her Burlesque years on the cover. If you have any suggestions of bands you would like to see me do this too let me know. Coming up are two eras of Kiss, L.A. Guns, Guns N Roses and Circus Of Power. I've been trying to do W.A.S.P. but I can't keep it to just a CDr's worth. Anyhoo I hope you enjoy this coz it was an absolute pleasure to put together.

Was given kind permission to post this by Mr. Billy Tee himself. Compilation of the two Junction XIII albums Champagne Life Of The Poor & Notorious and Triskaidekaphobia.
