[2022] Nirvana - You Know You're Right

[2022] Nirvana - You Know You're Right (B-Sides etc) 

Compilation of B-Sides, Bonus, Non-Album Tracks, Covers and Rarities. I don't like "Grunge" apart from Nirvana, with Bleach being my favourite album, and the, in my opinion only true "Grunge" album there is. There were so called "Grunge" bands before that, but I think Bleach is the best representation of the whole genre. When record companies started showing interest in "Grunge" they seemed to focus solely on cookie cutter clones of Nirvana. There are individual songs by bands that I like, but mostly I find the whole "Grunge" thing tedious. I love Mother Love Bone, but I've never seen them as a true"Grunge" band even though they are lumped in with the genre on all the lists. In fact a lot of the bands on those "Grunge" artist lists I don't see as "Grunge". How the brilliant Jane's Addiction are labelled "Grunge" is beyond me. This compilation I have put together is from as many of the original sources that I have, so the quality does vary. With the three official releases and now this, I think it's all the Nirvana you will ever need.

[2003] Gemini Five - Babylon Rockets

[2003] Gemini Five - Babylon Rockets

Overlooked album from Swedish Sleaze merchants Gemini Five. Absolutely love this Glam infused Trash Rock N Roll record. Known mainly, and oddly criticized for their brilliant cover of Dead Or Alive's You Spin Me Round (Like A Record). This is a fun album and I recommend anyone who likes Trashy Sleaze to give it a listen.

I've had Brides requested countless times over the years and lots of people have been after the original Demos. It's taken some time, but many thanks to George for sending them and the Live Bootleg through. You have made a lot of people very happy.

[2022] Izzy Stradlin' Black Lodge Relics Collection

[2022] Izzy Stradlin' Black Lodge Relics Collection

Izzy Stradlin' Bootlegs... the quality does vary and the ones marked #ST are pretty much just for collectors. A couple of the #ST ones are fixable to a point of being listenable, but I don't have the time at the moment. Maybe next year. I've also included the 1988 Drunk Fux show as a bonus. Available until Midnight Friday the 18th (Black Friday) New Zealand Time. Never to be reposted.

 [1992] Izzy Stradlin' and the Ju Ju Hounds - Izzy Stradlin' and the Ju Ju Hounds (2022 BLR Remaster)

30 years old and still as fresh as the day it was released. The Use Your Illusion albums just got remastered so I thought I'd do this. I still find those two albums overly bloated, but this album is brilliant from start to finish. Gave it the Black Lodge Relics treatment and I think it sounds really good, but I'm biased. Let me know what you think. And of course a new twist on the cover. Updated version. So if you downloaded the previous post you might want to download this one as well.

[1986] David & Sylvain - Tokyo Dolls... Live  (2022 BLR Remaster)

I wasn't going to post this originally as my copy was so awful, but I just got a new single track rip so I thought I'd give it the old BLR treatment and post it. I think it came out pretty well. If you have a vinyl copy let me know what you think of my version. And many thanks to Rick.

(1974) New York Dolls - Paris' Burning

(1974) New York Dolls - Paris' Burning

Since starting this Blog I must have had hundreds of requests for some New York Dolls. So I thought it was about time I did it. So over the next couple of weeks all I will be posting is the Dolls. So let's start off with a much played classic. The New York Dolls as they should be... raw, loud and full of Rock 'n Roll attitude.

[2022] Sabaton - Let Slip The Dogs Of War

[2022] Sabaton - Let Slip The Dogs Of War (BLR Compilation)

I love Sabaton. I'll never get the chance to see them live, but from everything I've seen they put on a great show. Plus their banter can be absolutely hilarious. Compiles B-Sides, Bonus Tracks, Covers and Rarities. Recommended for both ols and new fans!

[2022] Lords Of The New Church - When The Night Came Calling (A's, B's & Rarities)

[2022] Lords Of The New Church - When The Night Came Calling (A's, B's & Rarities)

This compiles everything, although I've had to replace two live tracks from a 12'' with ones from another official release. Plus two tracks are from scratched vinyl so there's a little noise at the beginning and ending of each song. Those tracks are marked with #. I've also tried to put everything in order of release date. Can't thank Rick Rose Rude and Steve for filling in the holes I was missing. I will be doing a huge post next year of Lords Live shows.
