Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin

Listening to this album 53 years later on, does it live up to the hype? Has it stood the ravages of time? Is a Dalmatian a beautiful dog? Of course it has; the brilliance of diamonds does not dim over a few years.

The House on the Hill – Audience

“The House On The Hill” was probably Audience’s most celebrated album and their first collaboration with the very famous and trendy Gus Dudgeon (who came to fame with his work for Elton John) as producer.

King Crimson – In the Court of the Crimson King

When this album was released in 1969, it was to change the whole face of rock music as it was then known. “In the Court of the Crimson King” by King Crimson almost single-handedly invented what was to become known as Progressive Rock, and with first track ’21st Century Schizoid Man’ had a fair hand at putting heavy metal music on the map.

Larry Wallis – Death In The Guitarafternoon

If you like guitar driven power trio rock, low down, dirty, sleazy rawk and roll, with snarled, vicious vocals, guitar licks that kick you straight in the head, guitar solos that make you realize why guitars are called axes, a bass guitarist that drives every song into your brain, every bass player should be called Big George, a drummer who has never heard the word subtle, you have a sense of humour and like a good time, then this is the album for you.

Arthur Brown – Monster’s Ball

The short way of describing this album is, “Arthur Brown sings Halloween hits.” But there is so much more to this glorious romp, so much fun. There is also a fine selection of cover songs—nothing obvious, but delving back into the ’50s and ’60s.

Arthur Brown- The Long Long Road

In 2022 Arthur Brown celebrates his 80th Birthday and as a treat we get a new album. The fine Long Long Road. The man may well be eighty years old, but the voice is still in the same fine fettle it was in 1968.

Ozzy Osbourne – Patient Number Nine

Ozzy Osbourne. The Godfather of Metal. The Big Double O. The Prince of Darkness. The man is a true living legend—the genuine article. Released on Friday, 9th September, this is certainly not a run-through for the pipes and slippers brigade. This is a fully-fledged heavy metal rock record, with over an hour of music; no filler, all killer.

Michael Monroe – I Live Too Fast To Die Young

As soon as opening song ‘Murder the Summer Of Love’ blasts off you know you are in for a fierce ride. The guitars lock together, the rhythm section thunders, whilst Michael Monroe, after an opening soul searching scream, comes spitting out, “No fun in the California sun.”

Kingdom Come – Journey

Mott suggests a trip into the eccentric thoughts of Arthur Brown and his spacemusos on this fine collection and take a Journey. You won’t regret it. Send us a postcard.
