About this product

The formidable rhythms of Burundi's most celebrated musical exports might have been heavily co-opted by Adam & the Ants and Bow Wow Wow along the way, but the sound remains all theirs. The Drummers were the heroes of the first-ever WOMAD Festival in 1982 and, ten years later, pitched up at Real World Studios where they immortalised their art with this deeply hypnotic performance. Raw, heady and immediate, this record is a one-way ticket to the pumping heart and soul of the mother continent. Album Tracks 1. Live at Real World - the Drummers of Burundi

Girlschool - Play Dirty - Red   - VINYL LP

Limited 180gm red vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Play Dirty is the fourth studio album by British heavy metal band, Girlschool, originally released on Bronze Records in 1983 and produced by Noddy Holder and Jim Lea from the hard rock band Slade. Featuring Kelly Johnson, Kim McAuliffe, Denise Dufort and Gil Weston and showcasing hits such as Inch20th Century Boy,Inch InchBurning In The Heat,Inch and InchPlay Dirty.Inch Remastered in 2020. During the torrent of new wave of British heavy metal, (NWOBHM), Girlschool were somewhere in the middle. They weren't mentioned in the same breath as the giants of the time but they were better known than other bands like Diamond Head and Raven. True, their music didn't get the airplay it deserved but most metalheads in 1983 knew who they were. I was fortunate on one occasion in the year to catch one of the few times the title track from the album, InchPlay Dirty,Inch got played on MTV.InchPlay DirtyInch marked a change in direction for Girlschool towards a more softer rock sound.

It is the first time, to my knowledge, that keyboards were ever used on a Girlschool album. Those tracks aren't bad but they aren't real headbangers either. Things do go much heavier with the third one, the title track. Even then, there are keyboards at the bridges on the song and though I have to admit, they compliment that part of the song well, it took me a couple of listens to get used to it. Besides, Kelly Johnson's guitar solo on said song makes counters any keyboards. After wowing with those more harder songs, things go back to the sound of the opening tracks. Keyboards a plenty here for I get the feeling that on InchSurrenderInch that they were trying for a Night Ranger or Journey type hit single. However, it wasn't rele
