    1970s Blues/Rock bands

    I first heard this Chicken Shack album called Imagination Lady that was originally released on the Deram label (the progressive rock imprint for Decca records) in 1971 on a cd back in the early 1990s when it was re-released on Deram and liked it a lot back then cos it features some amongst other...

    Foghat (Official Thread)

    Foghat & Savoy Brown. Onetime back in the early 1990s I had all the Savoy Brown reissued cds on the Deram label (connected to Decca/London) starting with the first Savoy Brown album in 1967 and finishing with Savage Return in 1978 plus a live cassette of Savoy Brown playing live in central park...

Dave who is 81 was part of a Welsh three piece rock trio called Love Sculpture back in the late 1960s and scored a massive hit in the UK with a song called Sabre Dance that may well...

    Blue Murder (Official Thread)

    Not a bad picture on the rear of the cd of the band dressed as pirates from memory or at least they were on the UK version. I bought the cd in the old HMV store in Oxford street in London's west end back in the 1990s when you could still buy US & German import cds not like these days. As for wot...

    Golden Earring guitarist George Kooymans dead at 77

    With regards to Radar Love in particular a album track lifted off the Moontan album released in 1973 that track musta been edited down somewhat to a more acceptable running time for a single release cos it has a fairly long intro for starters and maybe the middle section was edited as well...

    Golden Earring guitarist George Kooymans dead at 77

    I have been watching a live DVD of Golden Earring that I bought about 12-years ago in the old HMV Oxford street playing the Rockpalast at Kohn in (west) Germany back in June 1983 in honor of George and the boyz in the band and it must be the whole set cos it lasts for around 110 minutes and is...

    Golden Earring guitarist George Kooymans dead at 77

    Very sad to hear of George Kooymans guitarist with the Dutch rock band Golden Earring has passed away at the age of 77. The band formed way back in the early 1960s and to British guy's of my age 68 Golden Earring's RADAR LOVE released in 1973 is a 1970s 'rock classic' and was a big hit single in...

    Wednesday 23rd July TONY IOMMI appeared on BBC radio-4 'The today programme' this morning in a interview between 7:50-7:59 am via a telephone link. Tony was asked about Ozzy and Tony replied that he had heard the news yesterday (Tuesday) but "It has only hit me this morning" with Tony sounding...

    Wishbone Ash (Official Thread)

    I thought about Live Dates record27 and its a 'very good live album' but I thought I would just keep it to the official studio albums. I originally bought Live Dates back in the mid-1980s as a double-album on vinyl in a 'gatefold' album cover and about 20-years later I bought the cd version of...

    Wishbone Ash (Official Thread)

    Personally I like the second album Pilgrimage (1971) and the fourth album Wishbone-4 (1973) especially the track Rock & Roll Widow. As for the debut album Wishbone Ash (1970) the first side has the better songs such as Blind Eye, Lady Whiskey, Errors Of My Way & Queen Of Torture but the second...

    Wishbone Ash (Official Thread)

    I have been listening to the 1985 Wishbone Ash album Raw To The Bone with a guy named Mervyn 'spam' Spence on vocals and bass guitar and Wow that guy had a fabulous voice and vocal range!. I first heard this album back in 1987 when I bought it originally on vinyl back then and played it a couple...

    Warren Zevon (Official Thread)

    I never ever listened to Warren Zevon although I had heard of his name anyway for many years I have listened on and off to the late Rick Derringer (American guitarist/producer/songwriter) and on a Rick Derringer live cd from Cleveland in 1978 Rick and his band do a song in the set called...

    Has anyone met Robert Plant in person?

    I knew a guy who once told me about 7 or 8 years ago that he saw Robert Plant in a street in Camden Town and for our American cousins Camden Town with its markets is a very 'trendy area' of north London frequented by many young people along with hippes, punks, and left-leaning new age travellers...

    OZZY OSBOURNE And BLACK SABBATH's Final Show 'Back To The Beginning' To Stream Worldwide

    Maybe it was Ozzy's last show with Black Sabbath but it wouldn't surprise me if Tony does another Sabbath tour in the next year or two because he said after the 2017 'final show' that you can't just end it like that and during the last couple of years Tony was in the studio remastering the Black...

    The Rolling Stones (Official Thread)

    I agree dr wu 'Exile' may have been better as a single lp with tracks such as Tumbling Dice, Happy, Sweet Black Angel (which I like) and a few others, also I like Goasts Head Soup as well which tends to be overlooked somewhat.

    The Rolling Stones (Official Thread)

    Even Bill Wyman claims that the 1968-1972 era was the stones 'golden era' and he's right. For me I like Beggar's Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main Street although 'Exile' sounds like a mish/mash of demos & rehearsal tracks to my ears. As for Some Girls its ok but I don't...

    Rory Gallagher (Official Thread)

    Mr. Gallagher is still a very good example to follow in real life.. As for the guitarist's mentioned by Blues/Rocker I agree with all your choices although I especially like Paul Kossoff, Leslie West, Albert King & Alvin Lee although I would also include Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower & Ritchie...

    Rory Gallagher (Official Thread)

    That's one of the reasons why I still like Rory Blues/Rocker apart from him being a 'phenomenal guitarist' and his albums was his 'no showbiz' attitude and being 'non-political' instead of all these so called "stars" these days spouting off political statements either in interviews or from the...

    Rory Gallagher (Official Thread)

    Seeing that you "quoted me" Blues/Rocker I previously forgot to include SHIN KICKER although I have subsequently added it to my original post as one of my favourite tracks off the Photo Finish album along with the others that I previously mentioned which sounded GREAT live on the STAGE STRUCK...

    Rory Gallagher (Official Thread)

    Yes Blues/Rocker Jean-Noel Coghe that's the guy as I said I think his book on Rory was the first posthumous book about him. Also I have the Marcus Connaughton book on Rory and another book as well and when I think of the authors name I'll post it. The book that I have been referring to in my...

    Rory Gallagher (Official Thread)

    Ted McKenna also recounts in the same book Gallagher, Marriott, Derringer & Trower that one day in the studio Ted added a second bass drum to his kit and when Rory saw the second bass drum he 'broke out in a sweat' (laughs) and said to Ted "Ted, I'm not sure about this double-bass drum set up?."...

    Rory Gallagher (Official Thread)

    Yes I also particularly liked the Rory, Gerry & Ted McKenna line up (1978-1981) that played the heavier blues/rock material myself and released Photo Finish, Top Priority & the live Stagestruck album.

    Rory Gallagher (Official Thread)

    Yeah Gerry mentions a second album being recorded after the 'Basics' album although no name of this album is mentioned so I presume it never received an official name in a book I have called GALLAGHER, MARRIOTT, DERRINGER & TROWER published in 2000 although Gerry goes on to say the second album...
