About this product

Special Deluxe Collector's Edition / Fully Remastered Audio / LA Hard Rock Kings / 11 Bonus Tracks / 16 page full colour booklet - 4,000 word essay, enhanced artwork, new photos and new Interviews THE GREAT LEVELLER in life is the mysterious arrival of Lady Luck. You can carry on investing time, experience and energy in anything but without a well-timed appearance by the grand dame of serendipity you might as well whistle in the wind. That, unfortunately, was the case for Legs Diamond, one of the greatest, yet underexposed, bands of the 1970s. That they had the talent and the mandate to climb to the very heights of success, sadly, life decreed otherwise. Having recorded two sensational albums for well-heeled Mercury Records, the band were casually cast adrift when sales figures revealed unexpected and disappointing results. But with deep resolve they opted to carry on and found a new home with independent tag, Cream Records. Unfortunately, as things turned out it was not the saving grace they had hoped for but it did provide them with the opportunity to record yet another album that significantly added to their reputation. Issued in 1979, the record actually received well intentioned promotion and contained arguably one of their greatest tracks, namely 'Underworld King', a song that further bolstered their reputation as the American comparison to Deep Purple. Other highlights include 'Come With Me' and 'Man At The Top'. It is an album of light and shade, clearly the result of behind the scenes influences, but at least the band's heart and soul was still beating loud and clear, letting us know that they were still very much contenders to the throne.Inch Album Tracks 1. Underworld King 2. More Than Meets the Eye 3. You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' 4. Remember My Name 5. Chicago 6. Midnight Lady 7. Help Wanted 8. Come with Me 9. Tragedy 10. Man at

Legs Diamond - Out On Bail (Special Deluxe Collector's Edition)   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Digitally remastered and expanded edition. Includes five bonus tracks plus 16 page full color booklet. Nothing was ever easy for Legs Diamond. As one of the greatest, yet largely unheralded, groups based in the USA they had experienced a succession of difficulties that under any normal circumstances would have permanently sunk a band. Casting around for a new recording opportunity, the band happened upon a new small independent operation from Los Angeles, that had recently issued RATT's highly lauded debut EP, who offered to fund a similar EP for Legs. With the addition of new blood in bassist Mike Christie and hot shot guitarist Jim May, the band entered Sound City Studio in Los Angeles and cut 'Out On Bail', a remarkable record, somewhat controversial for it's partial use of electronic 'triggered' drums. Fortunately the quality of the material easily outshone such criticism, allowing Legs Diamond to be hailed as a welcome return to form. The band's reputation also secured the record a in the UK and Europe, with the addition of a further two tracks. Songs such as 'Walk Away', 'Fugitive', 'Find Out The Hardway' and the title track attracted considerable attention in the European press, giving the band a new lease of life after years spent battling apathy in their native country. In fact, the record set the scene for Legs to establish something a strong following in Europe. Album Tracks 1. Out on Bail 2. Fugitive 3. Walk Away 4. Doomsday Flight 5. Find It Out the Hard Way 6. Nobody's Fool 7. Seems Like a Dream 8. One Way Ticket 9. Radio 10. Hey Texas 11. One Last Kiss 12. Heroes 13. Broken Heart/One Last Kiss (Alt Lyrics)

Diamond Head - Live And Electric   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

WITH a thunderous crunch and genuine 'in-your-face' production that places the PA up against your ears, Diamond Head are proud to present Live and Electric, a live album that delivers every nuance of that four-letter word thanks to a song selection that covers Diamond Head's seminal career, and a sound that leaves you breathless in the stalls and smelling the sweat and leather of a classic British Heavy metal night. Recorded in 2022 on the band's tour with Saxon, Live and Electric takes in performances from Aberdeen, Blackburn, York, Cambridge, Cardiff and Bexhill, creating in the process an unmistakably British energy which is superbly recorded and mixed by Jay Shredder, with singer/frontman Rasmus Bom Andersen mastering. By now, the rock and metal scene knows all about lead guitarist and founding member Brian Tatler, whose riffs have genuinely defined a genre as well as influencing one of the world's biggest-ever rock bands, Metallica, but the contribution of Andersen to these Diamond Head performances is explosive as he bursts with power, presence and personality across the likes of InchThe MessengerInch and InchBonesInch. The seamless way in which old classics such as InchThe PrinceInch and newer stormers like InchBelly Of The BeastInch thunder down the tracks is a testimony to the lock-tight no-nonsense foundation that Paul Gaskin (bass), Andy InchAbbzInch Abberley (rhythm and lead guitar), and Karl Wilcox on drums add to the alchemy and the balance of respect plus reinvigoration for treasures InchIt's ElectricInch, InchHelplessInch and InchAm I Evil?Inch is electrifying. Live and Electric is a true roots representation of Britain's metal communities, and a wonderful live celebration of Diamond Head's distinctly British heavy metal music which feels as fresh, vital, and important now as it ever has before.

Lady Legs - Holy Heatwave   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Lady Legs have been writing wonderfully off-kilter poppy garage rock since their formation in 2012. In the five years since then, they've gone from playing college house parties to filling rooms at some of Birmingham's most esteemed venues and creating significant buzz at South By Southwest while garnishing airplay on BBC Radio and Music 6. Their raw songs embrace a similar spirit to the likes of Twin Peaks and Mac DeMarco, while taking inspiration from the band's shared love of The Strokes, Rolling Stones and The Pixies. InchFull of slacker charm and jangling garage rock sensibilities, it's an ode to doing what you love set against the kind of nonchalantly excellent sounds that tumble out with the utmost ease.Inch - DIY Album Tracks 1. Real Thing 2. Bottomless Pit 3. French Beach Music 4. Out Like a Light 5. Holy Heatwave 6. No Job 7. Hair Down 8. Sober 9. Haunted 10. Take Control 11. Coastline
