Notes▼
Promo Only Not For Resale - Album Sampler.
From the album 'Things You've Never Done Before' VUSLP 4.

classic British boozey rock 'n' roll, a perfect band for anyone into the Dogs D'amour or Quireboys styles. One of the best British bands of the era. Ripley's vocals are fantastic (he came along way in 2 years - halfway between Ron Young of Little Caesar and Spike on this one) and EVERY song is killer, my pick being Baby's So Fine. An outstanding release, shame they never did anything else after this. 9.5/10

CHEAP TRICK: Standing on The Edge [On side one we're faced with a pair of raunchy yet melodic high tech rockers in the form of 'Little Sister' and 'She's Got Motion', but it's the "Beatles gone AOR" power ballad 'Tonight It's You' that steals the show

along with the lilting, even ethereal midtempo AOR of 'Love Comes'. 'How About You' is an energetic rocker which improves with repeated listening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Johnny Crash,
Anybody that still likes that 80's glam bands will like Johnny Crash. The original LP is very hard to find

5.0 out of 5 stars great runchy rock n' roll,
It's a good mix between L.A. Guns, Dangerous Toys and all those 80's glam rock bands. They just had the bad luck to release their album in a time where all the glam bands where getting signed. So they were one out tons of the same kind of band, but still very good.
