[2008] Elvis - The Joan Deary Tapes

Joan Deary was the RCA executive in charge of the Elvis catalogue. She was also the person that recorded the Aloha From Hawaii album and produced several Elvis records. The Hawaii album was actually recorded with her sitting on boxes in a small closet. After Elvis passed away she went to Graceland and catalogued all of Elvis' Home Recordings. It's mainly because of her we have a lot of the posthumous Elvis releases. This is a compilation from her tapes of Studio Tracks from 1979 - 1972. A must for any Elvis Fan.

[2011] Sucker Punch (Extended Cut)

Bit of a Box Office bomb which I've never understood as it's a cracker of a film. Thankfully it's taken on Cult status. Soundtrack is a bit of alright as well. Recommended!

Smash Fashion

Time for something Quireboys related with Smash Fashion. Nigel Mogg once played on one of their 7" singles. A tenuous link for sure, but I'll take it. Either way it's just glorious Rock N' Roll! Hit the link below for more info.

[2024] Backseat Driver ~ Blackout In Speedball City (BLR)

Michael sent me all their releases months ago. So I've popped it all into one compilation. Meant to post it with the ISS stuff but got distracted. Just crude Sleazy Punk 'N' Roll at it's rawest. Mastering and mixing is all over the place but it's all worth a listen. These guys seemed to play with everyone back in the day, from D Generation and Jesse Malin to Circus of Power and the Ramones etc. Just pure rambunctious noise. Cheers once again Michael for the intro.

[1996] Jan Stenfors - Vinegar Blood

Better quality rip than the one originally posted in 2022.

[2024] Cheap And Nasty - Beautiful Injections (BLR)

Compilation of both albums and all the B-Sides. Sharp eyes will notice that Queen Bee is down as both an Album Track on Disc One and as a B-Side on Disc Two. This is done on purpose to make sure everything was collected as was released. Cover art is from screengrabs of the Beautiful Disaster Promo Video.

[2005] The Tears - Here Come The Tears (2024 BLR Expanded Ed.)

In 2005 Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler reunited to form The Tears. Gotta say I was excited and thought they'd do more than the one album. Bernard decided to go back to producing so the band dissolved. Brett has said he'd love to make a new Tears album so you never know. This collects the Album plus all the B-Sides and some Rarities. A must for any Suede fan.

[2024] Trans - Red & Green (BLR)

Compilation of 12" E.P.'s from Suede's Bernard Butler and The Yummy Fur's Jackie McKeown. Just great rock n' roll. Still wish they'd done an album, but it's nice to have what we've got.

[2024] Heartbreak Remedy - Chasing The Sun (2013 - 2018) (BLR)

Compilation of self-releases from this UK Blues based Rock outfit. Great songs, but they need a good Honky Tonk piano player. New album Let The Good Times Roll out now on all your streaming platforms.
