  RUNESTAFF  Runestaff  (Heavy Metal Records,1985) - NWOBHM       Runestaff began life in Ipswitch, England in 1980. Originally the group was an all male progressive rock band. Their first recording would be a three track demo cassette released in 1982. Guitarist/vocalist Andy Page would leave the band apparently frustrated over the direction of the band. Vocalist Joanna Symes was brought in and in a twist of fate Andy Page decided to return.       And while the group are often lumped in with the NWOBHM movement the truth is their sound owes a great deal more to American rock than to what was in their own backyard. With Joanna Symes on the mic (who sounds a great deal like Pat Benatar) the band offers up thirty minutes of enjoyable rock. And while obviously being on more of a metal oriented label did not help the band it was actually the tragic death of original keyboard player Kaust Rakhit in 1985 that would set the stage for the group’s bre...

  FRANKIE MILLER  Standing On The Edge  (Capitol,1982) - Rock       Frankie Miller’s eighth solo album “Standing On The Edge” was his first away from the Chrysalis label and was also at that point his rockiest and most polished effort. The bar room backing or stripped back blues and soul of the earlier albums being replaced with a polished, sleek and far more rocky production. Musically and arrangement wise this was more akin to Bad Company, Foreigner or even Whitesnake than the old blues and soul feel of its predecessors. Thats to take nothing away from those albums by the way as each and every one of them was a classic in its own right.

  COWBOY  5'll Getcha Ten  (Capricorn,1971) - Country rock       Shades of Poco and Buffalo Springfield shine through. Lovely arrangements and the guitars of Boyer/Talton and Kowalke come through like sunshine on a summers day. TRACKLIST: She Carries A Child                         Hey There Babe                         5'll Getcha Ten                         The Wonder                         Shoestrings                         Lookin' For You                         Seven Four Tune                         Right On Friend       ...

  CLANCY  Seriously Speaking  (WB,1975) - Jazz-Funk rock       Formed in London, England in 1975,  Clancy quickly became a popular live attraction, blending skilled musicianship with the relaxed, goodtime atmosphere of contemporaries Kokomo and ‘pub rock’ favourites Bees Make Honey. They secured a major record contract with Warner Brothers Records, but sadly their two albums for the company failed to recreate the atmosphere of live performances.   TRACKLIST: Back On Love                      Lose Me                      Body To Body                      Steal Away                      Sign Of The Times                      Southern Boogie           ...

  BLUE ASH  No More, No Less  (Mercury,1973) - Rock, Power pop       Peers of Big Star and the Raspberries, Ohio's Blue Ash rejected the then-prevalent prog rock, heavy metal and singer-songwriter navel-gazing in favour of succinct mid-60s influenced, harmony-drenched three-minute nuggets. No More, No Less is a classic of what would later be termed powerpop. TRACKLIST: Abracadabra (Have You Seen Her)                          Dusty Old Fairgrounds                          Plain To See                          Just Another Game                          I Remember A Time                          Smash My Guitar         ...

       Bassist Ian Hill is the only original member of the heavy metal institution Judas Priest remaining from the band's 1970 formation. Longtime lead singer Rob Halford joined up in 1973, supplanting founding vocalist Al Atkins. Guitarist Glenn Tipton joined in 1974, and drummer Scott Travis joined in 1989. Since Tipton sparsely tours these days for health reasons, guitarists Richie Faulkner and Andy Sneap currently fill the gap. JUDAS PRIEST Killing Machine CBS,1978 https://www.sendspace.com/file/kw1i5a
