Hunters & Collectors - Live 11/18/86 @ RPM Club (Toronto)


One of Australia's finest....Hunters & Collectors.....if you know them......YA LOVE THEM!
They really should have been a lot bigger than were. I know they did a lot of road work in Canada, and had a pretty strong following here. But I don't think they could ever make much headway in the States. In my books, their "Human Frailty" (also released 1986) is a classic. I saw them live a few times - if I'm not mistaken, both times at RPM.

I guess I must have had this set hanging around on cassette for years....really don't remember. But it is yet another CFNY (Toronto) presents "Tuesday Night Live", so the quality is very good. I'd rate it around a 9 on the old boot scale.

A nice tight and raw set (their specialty!) awaits.....

Bat Head Soup - Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne (Various Artists)


Generally speaking, I find tribute albums to be a waste of time. I mean if I want to hear certain songs, I'll pull out the CD by that artist. But there is just something about the performances on this one that really make it rock!

I went looking for a jpg of the back cover, but found this site instead - it pretty much covers all the info you'll ever need:   ALBUM INFO

Pretty much all the shredders you could ever wish for are here = Brad Gillis, Yngwie Malmsteen, Richie Kotzen, Paul Gilbert, etc......as well as some ace vocalists = Dee Snider, Joe Lynn Turner, Vince Neil, Lemmy, etc, etc.

My personal faves are : "Mr. Crowley" (w/Tim Owens & Yngwie Malmsteen), "Crazy Train" (w/ Dee Snider), "Desire" (w/ Lemmy), as well as the old softie "Goodbye to Romance" (w/ Lisa Loeb & Dweezil Zappa).

If you're looking for a nice HEAVY slice o' RAWK........go for it:
