Roy Last Group - Rocks / Goodtimes Ahead (81/83)

[lox]

Requested by bigfootkit

First 2 albums, not that good or memorable hard rock with few small highlights and some metallic edge, the guitarist later played with Velvet Viper. Not metal related fact: His uncle was the hugely/terribly popular James Last, he must have sold dozens of millions of albums with crappy orchestra music.

1981 LP

1. Venus Arise
2. Far Away
3. Riding The Wind
4. The Shooter
5. Problem Of My Life
6. Rainchild

1983 LP

1. Brefoot Dreams
2. Goodtimes Ahead
3. Land Of Ladies
4. Runaway Stayaway
5. Don't Rock The Cosmos
6. Playing It My Way
7. Don't Need, Ain't Got
8. Deathbringer
9. Flat Out
10. Theme From Prelude Nr.1

Thanks very much for the uploads lox.
I've only heard the track 'Rainchild' before which is very 70s sounding, with strong similarities to Ted Nugent's 'Stranglehold'.
I always wondered what the rest of their stuff sounded like, but could never find those albums.
I didn't know about the connection to James Last, surely a Corroseum first!

James Last's Voodoo Party is ace. Sly Stone & Santana covers!

Thanks for uploading, lox.

Sounds hilarious. Now I remembered that the guys from Lucifer's Friend were his backing band when he needed some ''rock edge''.

"Comin and a goin" is also a very nice album of Roy Last ... sounds a bit more modern (1989) than the early efforts.
