Jimmy Jimmy in your red brick city
Take a look around you
Jimmy Jimmy ain't you got no pity
That ain't the way I found you

Just when things get settled down
And the road is wide and endless
That's when I start looking around
And I start to feel so restless

Jimmy Jimmy with a bag ful o' money
Why don't you please remember
Jimmy Jimmy now your life's so sunny
How was it last December

When you hid your pain and you smiled in the rain
And to give up was just senseless

Very hard to get LP. Bernie Shaw is the vocalist here, along with Phil Lanzon on keyboards/ piano. Both went to Uriah Heep later on, and Bernie to Praying Mantis among others, while Phil went to play with Lionheart. Andy Beirne the drummer, was in the legendary Dirty Tricks before, later he went to play with Max and The Broadway Metal Choir.

Double Trouble Tour Programme

Deep Purple vocalist's, Magic was the last album in October 1982 by Gillan (the band) and featured Gillan himself, Janick Gers (guitar), John McCoy (bass), Colin Towns (keyboards), and Mark Underwood (drums). After a tour to promote the album, Ian Gillan broke up the band in order to join Black Sabbath for a year, then joining the reformed Mark Two line-up Deep Purple in 1984.

METAL MUTHAS Volume II (Rare N.W.O.B.H.M compilation LP originally released on in 1980) does have a few select gems on it. Particularly the opening and closing cuts from Trespass; a truly underrated British metal band, "Cutting Loose" by Xero, a great song with very soulful vocals and a totally bitchin' opening riff and killer lead break! White Spirit (the original band of current Maiden guitarist Jannick Gers') contributes the track "High Upon High" that features a great vocal performance from Bruce Ruff. Dark Star was another band who never hit it big, but does contribute a catchy hard rockin' tune called "Lady Of Mars." "Hard Lines" by The Raid (formerly Jameson's Raid) is a decent tune with a great opening bass line.
