Comments and Reviews


PhilMH 23rd Apr 2016		When you're doing that, get them to ring Van Morrison and tell him that the riff from "Gloria" appeared again in Ray Sharpe's "Help Me (Get The Feeling)", Huey Lewis' "I Want A New Drug" and Ray Parker Jr.'s "Ghostbusters"; Van would probably appreciate a share of the legal settlement that Lewis extracted from Parker.



Lee Wrecker 23rd Apr 2016		Phil, there's only two drum beats between the beginning of the Blues Magoos' "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet" and the intro to Deep Purple's "Black Night". I'll call the lawyers now.



PhilMH 23rd Apr 2016		Yep, Spirit's "Taurus".



Lee Wrecker 23rd Apr 2016		Are Spirit (Taurus) finally getting their dues? Or is it something else? And Zeppelin well in my student days I used to be in a band that specialised in bikie gigs - I was drafted in to beef up their R 'n' B chops but had to learn a truckload of Led Zep, Sabbath, Purple and the like that was in their set. The trade off was I got to play some Feelgood, Inmates style white boy R 'n' B and soul covers. I paid a heavy price for my qualifications now that I think about it.



PhilMH 23rd Apr 2016		Lee - noted! And for the record (hah), I hate metal/grunge/thrash etc too, I only picked that record as it seemed to be closest in date to this one! (I don't half feel like gloating over the news that Led Zeppelin are being sued over "Stairway To Heaven" - number one on my list of records that I never want to hear again, but kudos to Dolly Parton for making a very listenable cover version on one of her bluegrass-ish albums a decade or so ago).



Lee Wrecker 23rd Apr 2016		Thanks Phil but please don't force me to look at Iron Maiden albums again. I don't know what it is but the cartoon demonic or satanic imagery just reminds of morons I've known in the past. It started at young age, about 14, when I dropped in to see, well deliver something to "Dog" the heavy metal dude in my suburb. He lived in the garage under his Mum's house and always had the black curtains drawn. When I went into his room he had incense burning and candles placed in a pentangle which illuminated Jimi Hendrix and Black Sabbath albums at each point. In the centre of the pentangle was an electric guitar with a spoon on the neck with some baking powder or flour in it. Let's just say business was conducted swiftly and a psychological aversion to Heavy Metal took root. Look out for my new book "Mindfu@%ed By Metal - Without Even Listening To It" where other metal fans I encounter take my slight aversion to Metal and turn it into a full blown phobia.



PhilMH 23rd Apr 2016		Hi Lee, I just had a gander at the EMI Australia label page here, and looking at this Iron Maiden release from 1988, I would say that the centre ring and the fonts are the same.



Lee Wrecker 23rd Apr 2016		Hi Phil, whoever pressed it is still a mystery I just checked the deadwax and there's nothing at all there. Just a runout groove and deadwax, so a bit of a conundrum isn't it?



PhilMH 23rd Apr 2016		Release date from Platterlog, cassette and CD versions also released that day. Can't tell who pressed this, at first glance - as it says "Made In Austraia" it's not a NZ pressing (and it doesn't have PolyGram NZ's characteristic fonts and layouts), there are no CBS matrixes on the labels (but sometimes those only appear in the deadwax), so if not CBS, that only leaves EMI and Festival (Astor and RCA's factories long being closed).
