[1976] Slik - Slik (2007 Reissue)
Midge Ure's Scottish Bubblegum Pop/Glam outfit from when bands like the Bay City Rollers, The Osmonds, Racey, Sweet, Slade and Showaddywaddy ruled the airwaves. It's cheesey, it's kitsch, it's all sorts of toe tapping tweeness. This is the first in a series of three Midge Ure posts that will end in something I have compiled that I think is pretty damn awesome!
[2003] Texas Terri Bomb - Your Lips... My Ass!
My very good buddy G asked for a copy of this and I thought I'd share it. I thought I'd already posted this classic piece of Punk Rock and I'm kinda shocked that I haven't. I've tagged on a couple of bonus tracks as well. A must have piece of delicious noise.
Charming...
Freshly in. Same type of self entitled knob heads, who havn't the brains to shoot me a private email and ask nicely. And unless I know you I won't be responding to personal requests for awhile. This is why I've been considering shutting down the Blog again. Gotta say how things have been lately with spam and bullshit I might just delete the whole damn thing tomorrow.
[2025] Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force - On The Run Again (BLR)
Compilation of my favourite tracks from the first two Rising Force albums.

Playlist #88 - The Man From Taured's IOU
This months playlist feature tracks from the Role Models, Tuk Smith & The Restless Hearts, The Troubled Bones, Gene Vincent, The Dogs D'Amour and more. And the man from Taured is one of the most intriguing mysteries out there in the world. Plenty of book, articles and documentaries out there if you're interested.
[2007] Richard Bacchus & The Luckiest Girls - Jet Black & Beautiful
I had never heard this until my very good buddy G. asked me to track down a copy and I'm glad he did. Richard was of course in D Generation and this is a banger you'll have on constant rotation. Thank G. and turn it up loud!

[2025] The Cherry Bombz - Black Lodge Relics Live Collection
As promised.Thought I had a couple more, but can't seem to find them.
[2025] The Cherry Bombz - Black Lodge Relics Live Collection
[1993] Slamhound - Chaos Personified (CDr)
Unreleased album from Josh Todd's Pre- Buckcherry sleaze outfit. This is an updated better quality and freshly tagged version thanks to a friend from Japan. Still no sign of the fabled Live Bootleg. Enjoy! Link fixed.
[1993] Slamhound - Chaos Personified (CDr)
[2019] The Southern River Band - Rumour & Innuendo (Self Release)
A request and one I'm very happy to pop up. Great southern swamp tinged hard driving rock and roll from from Perth, Western Australia. I lived in Perth back in the mid to late 1980's and I wish these guys were around then, coz it was all top 40 cover bands and pub rock. New album D.I.Y. came out last year so if you like this go and get it.

The Cherry Bombz
Thanks to new info about other tracks The Cherry Bombz played I pulled out my Bootlegs and found three other songs. Menaced By Nightingales, Knee Deep In Sky High and You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet. The quality isn't really worth updating the previous collection, but I'll be posting all the shows I have in the next couple of days so if it's your liking you can put together your own compilations.
[2025] The Cherry Bombz - Gasoline City Blues (BLR)
Not another Cherry Bombz Compilation from Black Lodge Relics I hear you say. Well hopefully this one is a wee bit different. It collects all the tracks they ever played during their short existence as far as I can tell all in one place. I tidied up the last track Up Around The Bend which is from a CBGB's Bootleg. And of course it's recommended!
[2025] Suburban Lawns - Gidget Vs. The World (The Complete Suburban Lawns)(BLR)
Repost request for this awesome Californian Post-Punk band. All freshly updated. CD & Vinyl repressings of the collected LP and EP runs around $350 -$400 NZ, and it doesn't include the Gidget 7" or any of the Bonus Tracks I've tagged on so I don't mind popping it up again. Just a highly recommended glorious noise!

Blog emails...
For some reason my emails were flagged as spam and I just checked. I'll be getting back to you all shortly as I have a lot to respond to.
[2025] Bob Dylan - Dylan 65 Revisited (Acoustic Version)
Dropped a Hard drive and killed it so I've been sorting things out to transfer to a new one when it arrives. Was putting all my Dylan in order and thought it was time for a post. So that's what you have here. A cracking wee collection that's well worth a listen for both new and old Dylan fans.
[2025] Madonna - Dress You Up (1978 - 1982)(BLR)
There's an astonishing amount of Madonna Bootlegs floating around on the old interwebs. I don't know if every show she's ever done has been recorded, but I wouldn't doubt it. Without too much trouble you can find more than you could ever listen too. As you know I'm only interested in anything up to her third album. Gigs pre 1983 are impossible to find and are on my want list. Not overly bothered with shows other than those, and really just stick to Demos and Sessions from any of those first three albums and her late 70's period. Anyway this is a sampling of Madonna's first bands up to the demos for the first album. If anyone has any shows from The Breakfast Club, Emmy and Emmy And The Emmys can you please get in touch.
[1998] Backyard Babies - Total 13 (2025 BLR Special Edition)
Posted a rubbish version of this back in 2022, and as I was just going through all the albums I thought it was time to do it right. One of my all time favourite records given the BLR treatment. Trashy brash Rock 'N' Roll noise at it's finest!
[1998] Backyard Babies - Total 13 (2025 BLR Special Edition)
[2001] Elastica - The Radio One Sessions
A must have for any Elastica fan.
[2025] Hanoi Rocks - The Collected Singles (1981 - 1984)(BLR)
Put this together for myself and thought I'd share. Everyone has all the songs of course, but I wanted to have the singles as they were released. All in Flac.
[2025] Hanoi Rocks - The Collected Singles (1981 - 1984)(BLR)
[2020] You Wanna Know What It's Like - A Tribute To The Hollywood Brats & The Boys
As requested. This compilation sat on the shelf for nearly 20 years before finally being released Digitally. I was a little disappointed to be honest as I would have loved a hard copy. Of course I made my own, and that's what you have here. It's still hard to believe we lost Andrew and Honest John so close together recently. Many thanks too Desert Island Records out of Italy for putting this together and to all the artists who did outstanding jobs on their Tributes. Simply a must have.
[2020] You Wanna Know What It's Like - A Tribute To The Hollywood Brats & The Boys
[2025] Joey Ramone - A Closer Look (BLR Edition)
My very good friend G. asked for a copy of this and I thought it would make a great post. Compilation of unreleased tracks from Joey Ramone originally released on a CDr. I think it was from the early 2000's but don't know the exact date. It was reissued on vinyl in 2020 so if you like it go and buy the LP. Enjoy!
The Magnificent Others With Billy Corgan... Sharon Osbourne
Love Billy's podcast and he's really grown into an interviewer, and you can tell he's a real fan of everyone he interviews. The two parter with Paul Stanley is just brilliant and the best member of KISS interview I've ever seen. He even managed in his interview with Gene Simmons to make him come across as not so much of a pillock than he normally does and that's an almost impossible task. If you're a fan of Black Sabbath and Ozzy then this is a must. If you're interested in how the music business works then this is even more than a must.
[1975] Black Sabbath - We Sold Our Soul For Rock 'N' Roll (1986 Reissue)
Watched Billy Corgan's Podcast with Sharon Osbourne and went through a wee Sabbath listening party, and started to organise all my bits and bobs into one file. Thought I'd post something, so this will suffice until I put my own collection together. This is a classic release that I must have listened to a million times. A must have for every collection!
