| Manfred Mann - Manfred the Musicmann
|
(Fontana WPY-701.578 Hol-67 EX 275:-)
An R&B band that only played pop to get on the charts, Manfred Mann ranked among the most adept British Invasion acts.
The departure of frontman Paul Jones left Manfred Mann with a large void to fill in the summer of 1966. The new line up featured Mike D'Abo as vocalist and was augmented by Klaus Voorman on bass, with Tom McGuiness switching to lead guitar. Released in October 1966, AS IS (here renamed MANFRED THE MUSICMANN) continued the pop sensibilities of their previous album, MANN MADE, with the group firmly removed from its original R&B roots.
Original Dutch pressing; both sleeve and vinyl are graded EX.

| Motorhead - No Remorse
|
(Bronze BRSP-6 Swe-84 EX 350:-)
Motorhead's harder/louder/faster biker rock anthems remain some of the hardest music ever recorded. Lemmy Kilmister and his shifting line-up played raw, stripped-down rock at painful volumes. Leading their uber-rock anthems is Lemmy's unmistakable voice - hoarse and world-weary, he screams with as much aggression and anger as his bass.
"No Remorse" provides an overview of the band's time with Bronze Records and also includes four newly recorded tracks. It is the final album the band released on Bronze Records, with the new material being the first to feature the band's new line-up of Lemmy, Phil Campbell, Würzel, and Pete Gill.

| Mott the Hoople - Rock n Roll Queen
|
(Island ILPS-9215 UK-72 EX 300:-)
ROCK AND ROLL QUEEN is an excellent introduction to Mott the Hoople's pre-"All the Young Dudes" background, with tracks that one would consider truly representative of their early powers - the title track, of course, the claustrophobic hard rockers "Walking With a Mountain" and "Thunderbuck Ram," and the grinding "Death May Be Your Santa Claus".
Original UK pressing on pink rimmed Island 'palm tree' label.

| Music Emporium - Music Emporium
|
(Psycho PSYCHO-11 UK-83 EX 275:-)
The Music Emporium's sole release is a fair psychedelic obscurity, best when it goes heaviest on the dreamy melodic elements and Carolyn Lee does the singing. "Velvet Sunsets" and "Gentle Thursday," for instance, sound a bit like a garage version of a mixture of the Jefferson Airplane and the United States of America. The more upbeat items, on which Music Emporium leader Casey Cosby takes on the lead vocals, are lumpier, more awkward late-1960s hard rock/psychedelic efforts. Originally a super-rare pressing of just 300 copies!
1983 unofficial UK pressing; both sleeve and vinyl are graded EX.

| Mötley Crüe - Shout at the Devil
|
(Elektra 60289-1 US-83 VG+ 500:-)
The World’s Most Notorious Rock Band laid the foundation for their inimitable career in the '80s with their genre-bending music, a mix of anthemic choruses, stadium-sized riffs, punk rock and melodic power, along with their relentless reputation, typifying an excess never before seen in modern music.
Musically, “Shout at the Devil” is an incredibly focused album, and its songs stand up even better when listened to in one sitting than when taken individually. It was the band’s first chance to make a record the way the big boys do it, and they responded with a classic.
