Hope Ya Like It!

Been preparing some blogging in some spare moments of time, for a few days now. And, inspired by the AWESOME work & blogs out there, mainly the Time Traveller/New & Improved Live & Otherwise dudes GREAT effort, and the rareness and often unbelievable stuff popping up at Robots For Ronni, I'll go for a BIG one today... Guess there's something here for most of you. More to come. Have fun!

STORM

Great and very rare album. Fun & rockin' Queen inspired hard rockin' album from a female fronted great L.A. band. The Queen link are based on the very Brian May'ish guitar sound. Not a very good production, but smokin' delivered tracks. Their later album, also named Storm (1983) are good too, just not as fun as this one. :)))

1994
What a coincidinky... I had these prepared for blogging, and just got a request. And a link to some of the tracks. Here they are, the full albums. After I uploaded these, I listened through'em again, and be warned, good sound, but a few jumps. I had forgot that, but it's better than nothing. And the albums are great. Anyway, I got the vinyls and I'll try to do better ripping when I find the time. I threw in the singer, Karen Lawrence's, later solo album as a bonus. Great stuff too! If you're into Heart and stuff like that. Good classic AOR, with a great female singer.

Karen Lawrence - Vocals
Steve Schiff - Guitar
Bill Rhodes - Bass
John Desautels - Drums

p2pnews.org:
Former lead vocalist with L.A. JETS and the more affectionately missed 1994, Karen Lawrence had dabbled with a New Wave direction in the early 80's, recording the 'Girl's Night Out' album for RCA in 1981 under the band name of KAREN LAWRENCE & THE PINZ.The recording of the album Karen roped in guitarist Fred Hostetler, bassist Leigh Foxx and drummer Mark Bourcet. Production duties were handled by Jack Douglas. In 1986 'Rip And Tear' found Karen returning to her Hard Rock roots. with an album very much in the mould created by 1994. Her former 1994 colleague Steve Schiff actually contributed guitar to 'Kiss From A Distance' on the album, which featured a band line up of guitarist / keyboardist Fred Hostetler, bassist Rick Wilson and drummer Gordon Gale. The album was produced by Eddie Leonetti

SHAKIN' STREET

I guess this band & album don't need any more introduction. If needed, google it. Always loved it's rockin' rawness and da man Ross The Boss's axework in this french/american outfit from the late seventies/early eighties. I did a rip of this earlier, but turned out there was some errors on one track. So I did a new one, using my new equipment. I know it's out there anyway, but at least this is a better version than my previous one.

Fabienne Shine - Lead vocal
Ross 'The Boss' Funicello - Lead Guitar
Eric Lewy - Rhythm Guitar
Mike Winter - Bass
Jean-Lou Kalinowski - Drums

And as a BONUS, their very rare first album from 1978, 'Vampire Rock'. Searched for years and years after a copy of this album. I never found it, but I managed, with great help from a good friend and his contacts (thanks PeSt!), to get it, but one track is missing. Track 6 (Yesterday's Paper). Anyone out there with a complete rip?? Anyway, now you can hear it! The track 'No Time To Lose' from their later to come, great album 'Shakin' Street', are there too... No Ross The Boss on this one, but as a first hard to get album, I feared much worse. Not a great production, but quite likeable. You might never have heard Shakin' Street, and in that case, I recommend their 1980 album, or you might have looked for this album for years without any luck. Anyway, grab it now!

NEON ROSE
Great stuff, a bit prog, but more than enough guitars to make it a minor classic swedish hard rock band of great importance for future swedish hard rock releases, my guess. A bit Zep, a bit Rush, a whole lotta good work. If you haven't heard'em, please do so, you might like'em. This is the first of three album that they released.

UGLY DUCKLINGS

And now for something completely different. Way old. Talking the 60's. Musically NOT a band I normally would've blogged here. (This is NOT the Hip-Hop group!) It's not exactly hard rock or AOR either, in fact FAR from it. But a more punk'ish/garage thing, leaning more towards New York Dolls (they even had an album (cd?) called 'Too Much Too Soon', guess it was released way before the
N.Y.Dolls?) and a David Johansen/Jagger'ish vocal. But that's my lack of references to this kinda music talkin', I'm more into clean'n'classic hard rock/AOR stuff. The reason I blog it here are what so ever obvious; it's canadian, it's very rare and it's a request. I like makin' ppl happy :)) And ever since Angel covered 'Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore', I've liked that
track. It's here too... Try it if you want, but you're warned.

Ugly Ducklings - Ugly Ducklings.

I used to have the 1994 lps, but like things do they disappeared in a move. Thanks for those, and the others as well.

Request: Would you by any chance have the lp by The Durocs?

Anonymous said...

Thanks for the 1994 & Storm albums, although I might have to hold out for the [gulp] expensive cd reissues from the U.K. [it's those bonus trax man...gets me every time!]

The Ugly Ducklings album sound fun. And I second the request of Kolaboy for the Durocs. That album is a pain to find.

I've been looking for Roadmaster material ever since I purchased "hey World" back in 1979. Thanks for posting live+5. I had also heard alot of good stuff about 'Screams', that album is even hard to find on gemm.com, thanks for posting that as well. Have you ever put 'Worldwide Attraction' by Magnet up on your blog? Killer lp, I saw them open for Derringer in 1979 I believe. Let me know if you would like to hear them or add the lp to your blog, singer's voice sounds very much like John Waite from the Baby's.

Pratl Power said...

Thanks very much for the 1994 uploads. Those proved quite elusive until now and the reissue on CD :)

jp said...

Here's Karen Lawrence & the pinz. The quality isn't that great (my turntable is old and the vinyl is used), but it's enjoyable.

I was woken by a very loud voice, I was looking around thinking who is it,dominical costa rica tours then I realised, it was Jeff Shreeves off Sky Sports News, I decided to sit up and watch the preview to the match, I couldn’t believe I was going to be there, I threw on my Liverpool shirt, put my scarf round my neck and was ready to leave, there was a lot of traffic leading up to the game as taxi drivers where taking all the shortcuts, that was smart!
My heart pounded against my chest as I edged closer and closer to the stadium, eventually hearing the encouraging roar from the Liverpool fans about a mile away from the stadium, and the atmosphere was electric.
