Good album, great voice and...Candle in the Window (What a song! perfect!)

DON`T START ME UP...magic, beautiful...

Good record indeed. You should add it to your collection. Great AOR, worth every penny !

The guy on the cover is a weird combination of Billy Idol and Michael Monroe, and there's a topless chick whom he's just knocked out (what!?!). Maybe he didn't actually clock her, it coulda been a technical knock out... who knows. Whatever's going on, it looks sleazy enough. TKO make me wonder why commercial Metal in the 80s had to be so extremely poncey... cuz these guys are commercial, but still very heavy, still Metal, and infinitely better than any commercially viable hair Metal band of the era. In Your Face is a perfect balance of Hard Rock that retains some Metal bite, and every single song is well written, catchy, and memorable. This is a truly great album... sometimes you really can judge a book by it's cover.

CHRYSALIS RECORDS 1990 U.K.

One of the more obscure Pop Metal bands of the early 90’s is New York’s Trouble Tribe.

This band features singer Jimmy Driscoll , Adam Wacht on lead guitar, Eric Klaastad on bass, and Stephen Durrell on drums.

The band had a semi-hit on MTV with Here Comes Trouble.
It is a fairly decent pop metal disc by one of the lesser known bands of the hair metal era. This record has a few solid cuts including Tattoo, Here Comes Trouble, and the solid power ballad, In The End. The band also covered the Beatles’ Dear Prudence.

This vinyl is becoming more rare by the day. It is a nice little glam metal gem that is worth seeking out.

Craig Goldy's Ritual - Hidden in plain sight
Grand Slamm / MUSIC FOR NATIONS 1991

a great Goldy/Eisley collaboration
The first solo album by former (and future) Dio guitarist Craig Goldy. Working under the name Craig Goldy's Ritual, the album features two vocalists. Mike Stone provides vocals for about half of the tracks, while Goldy's ex-Giuffria colleague David Glen Eisley sings on the other half. Eisley has such a powerful voice it's no surprise that his tracks far outshine Stone's.
The music on Hidden in Plain Sight is not as "metal" as Goldy's Dio work, instead coming across as more of a straightforward hard rock (perhaps hair metal) approach very similar to Giuffria and House of Lords. It's the kind of memorable melodic hard rock that the early 90's were so well known for. Goldy does get a chance to strut his stuff a bit, especially on the instrumental title track and Rain Fall.

The Last Command is a heavy metal album released by W.A.S.P. on November 9, 1985. The album was produced by Spencer Proffer, who also produced "Metal Health" by Quiet Riot.

ANGEL: Helluva Band [Indeed this is a hell of a band and their most classic album. Some say that this is Greg Giuffria's finest hour. I think they are right in saying so. It came out in Casablanca Records, the label of KISS and it is now very hard to find of course, since the label went bust a while after the album was released. It normally costs £26. Our price is £7

============================================

Helluva Band is the second album by the rock band Angel. On this album Angel explores the heavier side of progressive rock, but still offers arguably one of their most progressive songs to date: "The Fortune."

"Feelin' Right"– 4:42
"The Fortune"– 8:40
"Anyway You Want It"– 2:52
"Dr. Ice"– 5:23
"Mirrors"– 4:28
"Feelings"– 5:42
