[2022] The Johnnys - There's Gonna Be A Showdown (The Complete Singles 1983 - 1988)

[2022] The Johnnys - There's Gonna Be A Showdown (The Complete Singles 1983 - 1988)

Had this collection I'd put together ready to post for over a year, just needed a bit of art. Then the other day I saw that The Johnnys are doing a 40th Anniversary Tour of New Zealand in the next few weeks. Saw them a few times back in the late 80's and it was always a good show. If you like a little Cow Punk than you should love this.

[2021] Ginger Wildheart & The Sinners - 229 The Venue ~ London, UK (17 Dec. 2021)

[2021] Ginger Wildheart & The Sinners - 229 The Venue ~ London, UK (17 Dec. 2021)

Saw this show pop up on another Blog a few weeks ago and remembered how great a show it was, so I thought I'd pop it up. Gingers Birthday Bash... just wish the Rich Ragany And The Digressions show had been taped as well. Kit Swing from The Digressions & Seven Days And Doesn't Die sings on the track Honour which Ginger recorded with Courtney Love.

[2022] Billie Eilish - Glastonbury Festival

[2022] Billie Eilish - Pyramid Stage ~ Glastonbury Festival, UK (24 June 2022)(BBC Radio 1)

Gotta say that I love Billie Eilish and this is a fantastic show. Just wish she'd do complete songs instead of snippets. I've included the complete single track original broadcast and my split track edit. Forgive me if I have gotten any of the song titles wrong. Recommended even if you're not a fan.

[2022] Crazyhead - Screaming Apples 

Compilation of B-Sides and Rarities from another overlooked band. Lovely wee bit of noise...

I love PJ Harvey and as I've just ordered her new book Orlam I thought I'd pop something up. Buy Orlam from any of your favourite booksellers.

[2022] Bon Jovi - 2010 Japan SHM-CD Special Editions Live Tracks

[2022] Bon Jovi - 2010 Japan SHM-CD Special Editions Live Tracks

I've had Bon Jovi requested and suggested for years, I've just never decided on any one thing to post. With the passing of Alec John Such I've thought about it more and more. Finally I've settled on compiling all the live tracks from the Japanese 11CD +1DVD Boxset. Honestly I've never cared for anything they have released after Keep The Faith as I find it all became generic AOR/Stadium Rock twaddle. Sure there are individual songs I like, but mostly I find it formulaic and boring. So what you have here is a Live Compilation collecting 35 tracks from the years 1984 until 2009.

[2022] Suicide Blonde - Just For Kicks (Demos & Rehearsals) 

This has been on the "To post..." pile for far to long. Incredibly rare collection of Demos and Rehearsals from a long forgotten and under appreciated band. Contemporaries of The Dogs D'Amour etc, straight from the tapes... many thanks to Ian for sending me these. I can't recommend this enough!!!

[1978] Los Punk Rockers - Los Exitos de Sex Pistols

[1978] Los Punk Rockers - Los Exitos de Sex Pistols

Can't remember where I got this Spanish Punk oddity from. The audio rip of the vinyl was rubbish so I amplified it. Other than that it's just as it was released. Garbled nonsense lyrics and completely low-fi. Spanish  musicians doing the Sex Pistols Never Mind The Bollocks. As a Punk Relic it's awesome.

[2022] The Highschool Hellcats - Rock 'N' Roll Runaround

[2022] The Highschool Hellcats - Rock 'N' Roll Runaround

I knew this Swedish band from the Dogs D'Amour and Hanoi Rocks Tributes, but I didn't have any of their albums. The legend that is Rick Rose Rude just sent me a pile of stuff and I've been listening to it for the last couple of days, and I love it. Lots of references to the Dogs and Hanoi. Just awesome rock 'n' roll, just had to throw this compilation together. Brilliant cover of GG Allin's Sluts In The City. Highly recommended for anyone who likes hard driving trashy Rock 'N' Roll!

[2022] Balaam And The Angel - Darklands (B-Sides, Bonus Tracks & Rarities)

A request and a joy to put together. I think I'm only missing one track which was a Live B-Side on a 7" single. Quality does vary as it's from so many different sources.

[2008] Motorcycle Boy - Motorcycle Boy (Compilation)

I made a wee mistake on my last Motorcycle Boy post and posted a pile of Demos & Rarities instead of this brilliant compilation. Fixed that post the other day, with my cover art etc, so here you have the proper 2008 Compilation album. You might want to re-download everything just to be sure. Once again it really doesn't get any better than this!!! And thanks to Rick for pointing out my mistake... oops!

[2022] Tyla J. Pallas - Just One More (The Best Of The Chard Urton Blues Treasury)

[2022] Tyla J. Pallas - Just One More (The Best Of The Chard Urton Blues Treasury)

Six Volumes of The Chard Urton Blues Treasury might have been just a little too many. Nice to have all the songs, but it was a little iffy in places. This is my pick of the best tracks, I'm sure you would all pick different ones. I usually don't like using Tyla's art for my covers, but this piece is hanging on my wall so I think it's okay just this once.

[2022] Michael Monroe - Rock Hard Festival 2022

 [2022] Michael Monroe - Rock Hard Festival 2022 (Rockpalast Livestream)

The Livestream download audio was fairly quiet so I amplified it and now it sounds awesome. Bonus Acoustic track included. It's a great show so watch it on Youtube as well. And buy the new record I Live Too Fast To Die Young, it's a stonker!!!

A request that has been on the "To post..." pile for awhile. Lots of stuff gets in the way, so if you've made a request and it's been awhile just send me a reminder. If you like NWOBHM and good classic Hard Rock then you should love this.

[2022] Herman's Hermits - You Won't Be Leaving (A Black Lodge Relics Introduction To...)

[2022] Herman's Hermits - You Won't Be Leaving (A Black Lodge Relics Introduction To...)

Really doesn't get any better for me than a few Herman's Hermits favourites. Contemporaries to The Beatles and the Rolling Stones etc but with a purer pop sound. Just like The Beatles and the Rolling Stones they put out a lot of old twaddle along with some true gems, and the tracks I've included in this compilation are all class.
