[1985] Holy Dolls - Angels Closed Their Eyes
Finnish Post Punk/New Wave band. I know nothing about these guys other than they changed their name and released an album in Finnish. This is all synthy goodness. I've also expanded it with a few tracks from the EP. Just from the cover you can tell what you're getting. I'd say that if you like The Lords Of The New Church then you'll like this. Just a lovely noise!

[1993] Johnny Thunders - Chinese Rocks (The Ultimate Thunders Live Collection)
And for those that don't like ABBA here's the first of a few Johnny Thunders Compilations I'll be posting over the next few days or so.
[1993] Johnny Thunders - Chinese Rocks (The Ultimate Thunders Live Collection)
[2024] ABBA - A BLR Playlist
Driving around this morning singing along to the Oldies Station (It was a Glen Campbell feature day). Anyhoo, ABBA came on and I thought to myself that I'd never posted any ABBA apart from the odd track on a Playlist. In my opinion a good 85%, if not more, of what they released was pure naff filler, but they did some bangers that I've loved since I was 7 or 8. So you get this playlist of my favourite tracks.
[1982] Zolar X - Timeless (2004 Reissue)
An album that should get more love than it does. Space Age Glam Rock from a bunch of freaks that think they're aliens. Just total fecking awesomness, and beyond highly recommended!!!
[2024] Oasis - Live Forever (A BLR Playlist)
How I missed all news on Oasis reforming for a series of gigs is beyond me. But my very good friend Gareth just filled me in on all the news. So I popped a quick playlist of favourites together for myself and thought I may as well share it.
[2024] The Banana Splits - It's A Good Day For A Parade (BLR)
Loved The Banana Splits TV Show as a kid. Specially Danger Island. I posted a rip of the 1968 LP in 2019, but thought I'd do a comprehensive expanded edition. This collects everything that appeared on the show along with some other recordings that didn't make it. A bootleg collection came out in 1995 but it was far from complete. Several tracks are ripped from VHS recordings so the quality wavers in a few places. Perfect for nostalgia and oddity junkies. Enjoy!
[2024] The Bangles - The ''Alternate'' Doll Revolution (BLR)
Suggestion from Marmike. He sent me some files and I've culled them down and rearranged them to make this. Quality varies in places, but there's some cracking tunes on this. If this is popular I'll do another compilation of rarities etc. And Marmike, I hope you like it.
[2024] The Bangles - The ''Alternate'' Doll Revolution (BLR)
[2009] Hot Leg - Red Light Fever (Expanded)
As requested. Justin Hawkins from The Darkness side project. Expanded with non album tracks and some British Whale Demos.
[2024] PJ Harvey - Arising (BLR)
I'm a pretty big Polly fan and it was a joy to put this compilation together. Disc 1 features tracks recorded between 1991 and 1993, and Disc 2 features 5 Radio Sessions. This is also my first attempt at properly tagging a compilation. So hopefully it works for you all, and I'll be doing it more often. Cheers Brett for all the help!
[2024] Marilyn Manson - Raise The Red Flag (Single)
I ripped this from Tiktok so the quality isn't the best, plus they're from a leak. I love Manson so it's nice to have these 3 new tracks, and I'm impatiently waiting for the new album. Plus the physical single, which was limited to 3000 copies is already going for ridiculous money. Fingers crossed it gets a reprint.
Raise The Red Flag + As Sick As The Secrets Within + Front Toward Enemy
[2024] Marilyn Manson - Raise The Red Flag (Single)
[1976] Hello - Keeps Us Off The Streets (2007 Japanese Remaster)
I have to thank my very good friend and Blog Contributor Marmike for reminding me of just how awesome this piece of British Glam Rock is. Ace Frehley's covered New York Groove on his solo album, and is still a much loved fave. Russ Ballard from the band Argent originally wrote New York Groove, and also another KISS favourite in God Gave Rock And Roll To You. Just toe tapping good time Rock and Roll.
[1976] Hello - Keeps Us Off The Streets (2007 Japanese Remaster)
[2024] The Brats - Quaalude Queens (BLR)
Zheani won't be everyone's cuppa so here's an extra special post you should all like. 70's New York City Glam Rock band formed by former Actress and New York Doll guitarist Rick Rivets. So if you like the Dolls, Harlots Of 42nd Street, Mott The Hoople and Ziggy era Bowie etc then you'll love this. I'm pretty sure this compiles everything they recorded. Highly recommended.
Zheani... Fuck The Hollywood Cult
Zheani... Spoils Of War
Zheani... Designer Sadness
Zheani... Lulu
Zheani... DIRTBIKE
[2024] Zheani - Burn The Witch (BLR)
I've been rabbiting on about Zheani on my personal Facebook page since 2019. People try to label her as all sorts of things, Witch House fits but I just call it glorious noise. I put together a compilation a few years ago but it was removed. This is a more complete collection. She's currently touring the world, so if you get a chance to see her... go. Enjoy!
And if you like what you hear, head on over to her Bandcamp page...
[1991] Wild Boyz - Unleashed! (Recorded 1986)
Let's go with a little overlooked Glam Metal... This is the original CD and not the 2018 Remaster.
[1991] Wild Boyz - Unleashed! (Recorded 1986)
[1989] Bitch's Brue - We Might Not Be American (But Still We ##ck)(2024 BLR Expanded)
Let's go long forgotten UK, female fronted hard driving Sleaze! Suggested by Marmike and a great suggestion it is. Expanded with the 1988 12" Single. I know nothing about this band other than the record kicks butt and the singer went on to do Choir and Chamber music. Very tasty!!!
[1989] Bitch's Brue - We Might Not Be American (But Still We ##ck)(2024 BLR Expanded)
[2024] VA - Rock Pretty (An Introduction To Heavy Metal 1982 - 1986)
I had the Rock Pretty Compilation requested, but I thought I'd expand it with three other collections. Some questionable tracks, but some real bangers. And some I wouldn't even consider Heavy Metal, Marionette and The Babysitters for example. I'm happy how it turned out and it's well worth a listen.
[2024] VA - Rock Pretty (An Introduction To Heavy Metal 1982 - 1986)
[1998] Dead Boys - All This And More (2CD)
Had this requested. Yes the quality is a little questionable, but anything by the Dead Boys and Stiv Bators is a must in any collection. This collects tracks from 3 CBGB's shows. New York Punk Rock Glorious Noise!!!
[2024] The Devil Dogs - Get In Line!!! (BLR)
Compilation of B-Sides, Bonus Tracks and Rarities from these New York City Garage Punks. Many thanks to the ever generous Rick for sharing and filling in holes in my collection. Punk Rock noise at it's finest.
[1988] The Grip - Be Yourself (+ Bonus Tracks)
Repost of this awesome Glam Rock 'N Roll album. Willie Dowling went on to be a member of The Wildhearts, Jackdaw 4 and Honeycrack etc. I've expanded it with all the B-Sides. Just a glorious noise.
[2024] Various - The ''Trash On Delivery'' Companion Album (BLR)
Collection of tracks from bands that appeared on the Trash On Delivery LP and the Promotional 7" Single. Some hard to find rarities as well as some old favourites.
[2024] Various - The ''Trash On Delivery'' Companion Album (BLR)
[1983] Various - Trash On Delivery (Flicknife Records)(2024 BLR)
Updated and expanded version of the classic compilation album featuring The Dogs D'Amour, Marionette, The Babysitters, Nikki Sudden and more. Now includes the rare Flicknife 7" Promo Single. A few crackles but a lovely thing. Enjoy!
