My Kingdom Album Notes The Cutter is a strange compilation with cash-in written all over it. The front sleeve reads 12 classic tracks. It's a lie. Yes, some of the songs are among the best recorded by Liverpool's finest post-punk band, but the inclusion of two bizarre covers doesn't help the collection reach any sort of classic status. Perhaps WEA Records thought fans would see The Cutter as a best-of collection, which it isn't; maybe they thought those same fans would clamor for the covers of songs by the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. To start with, the album material isn't necessarily the best of. While the songs are a just-decent sample of some of the finer moments from the band's glory days, Songs to Learn and Sing and Ballyhoo are both better introductions. Albums covered include Crocodiles, Heaven Up Here, Porcupine, Ocean Rain, and Echo & the Bunnymen. There are classics here to be sure: "The Cutter," "A Promise," and "Ocean Rain" are all glorious slices. But there are glaring omissions among these classics, including "Lips Like Sugar," "The Killing Moon," "Bring On the Dancing Horses," and "Never Stop." The Cutter might be a nice find in the used CD bin, if one is looking for one particular track and an assortment of other okay songs. The live covers certainly don't justify the album, as they serve merely to break up an otherwise interesting collection. "Paint It Black" sees Ian McCulloch butchering the classic song like a campy vampire; it actually starts out promising, but McCulloch falls apart about a minute and half in. "All You Need Is Love" just sounds stupid, as if the band had only been rehearsing it for a day; there's no passion in the performance. The Cutter would cut cleaner if its cuts included the classics. ~ Tim DiGravina WEA RECORDS / 1988 / Printed in GERMANY Boitier Cristal // Crystal Box Tous mes CD sont en état impeccable, très peu utilisés Frais de Port, Shipping cost: Pour la France: 3,50€ (+1€ par CD Supplémentaire) For Europe, Switzerland and Norvay: 5,50€ (+2€ each additional CD) Rest of the world: 7,85€ (+3€ each additional CD) MERCI de CONSULTER MES AUTRES VENTES...

Edition remastérisée avec 1 bonus track et un livret 16 pages couleur publiée en 2020 par le label britannique ROCK CANDY sous la référence CANDY430, voir mes photos ! DESPITE ALL THEIR previous trials and tribulations, Legs Diamond released their sixth album in 1990 to wide acclaim, certainly attracting more attention and publicity than their first four records released in the 1970s and 80s. For Legs it was an incredible achievement, having been cast aside for much of the late 80s as a band without a prominent sales base or indeed any chance of a revival. Fortunately, as an underground favourite amongst the cognoscenti, their reputation preceded them with a new record deal (this time on Metal Blade Records) and a chance to actually make an album recorded with precision and finesse rather than pieced together on a shoestring budget. Issued in 1990, the record was considered a real return to form, many saying that it was the best release since their 70s heyday. It also signalled the welcome return of original guitarist Roger Romeo back into the band after several years pursuing other opportunities. With Rick Sanford supplying high octane vocals the band looked and sounded better than ever, with a creative surge that gave birth to twelve ‘gold standard’ songs’ including a blistering re-recording of ‘Stage Fright’ from their debut album. Pushing the envelope even more, the band were now in a financial position to finally tour the UK after years of being unable to afford such a trip. Naturally they received a hero’s welcome and a well deserved salute to their perseverance and tenacity. ‘Town Bad Girl’ is a record that contains a brace of stellar tracks, including ‘City Streets’, ‘Look Into Her Eyes’ and ‘Never Enough Time’, some of the greatest moments in the Legs Diamond cannon. 24-bit remastering from original source tapes, 4,000 word story of the making of the album, full involvement by the band, rare photos, one bonus track, all spread out over a superb 12 page full colour booklet. Track Listing: 1. TOWN BAD GIRL 2. CITY STREETS 3. STAGE FRIGHT 4. WORLD ON FIRE 5. CAN’T GET YOU (OUT OF MY MIND) 6. NEVER ENOUGH TIME 7. LOOK IN HER EYES 8. PAIN KILLER 9. CRY NO MORE 10. I AM FOR YOU 11. SHE DID IT FOR LOVE 12. NERVOUS 13. HEAVEN OR HELL BONUS TRACK 14.TOUCH AND GO

DURING THE 1970’s, the glorious Sunshine State of Georgia had been a fertile breeding ground for home grown Southern Rock nurturing, amongst others, the Allman Brothers Band, Grinderswitch and the Atlanta Rhythm Section. Doc Holliday, although not as universally well known as those big selling, stubble sporting whiskey soaked troubadours, were an important, nay essential, addition to that linage of respected and revered musicians. Developing a reputation as one of the hottest acts on what was affectionately termed the chittlin’ circuit DH, or Roundhouse as they had been known, eventually courted the ears of various power players in the record business. Wined and dined by the cigar chomping executives at A&M Records they were eventually signed to a major contract in 1980. Introduced to renowned English record producer ‘Colonel’ Tom Allom (Judas Priest, Strawbs, Nantucket) the coupling appeared an unlikely marriage but the natural  bonhomie of both parties proved hugely infectious helping to create one of the most impressive debut albums from a Southern Rock band since the glory days of the Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Embraced by their peers and feted in the media, Doc Holliday’s debut album quickly became the must have Southern Rock record of 1981, a work that is still praised to this very day and cited as one of the highlights of the genre. 24-bit remastering from original source tapes, huge 4,000 word essay about the making of the album and 2 bonus tracks. Tons of additional photos and memorabilia spread out over a 16 page full colour booklet. TRACK LISTING: ‘Ain’t No Fool’, ‘Moonshine Runner’, ‘Magic Midnight’, ‘A Good Woman’s Hard To Find’, ‘Round And Round’, ‘Keep On Running’, ‘Never Another Night’, ‘The Way You Do’, ‘Somebody Help Me’, ‘I’m A Rocker’. BONUS TRACKS: ‘Bad Love’ (Roundhouse Demo), ‘Crazy’ (Roundhouse Demo).
