thanks DaN for posting this - so now I can listen to this compilation second time in my life...
first time - was in some record shop in outer Wellington about nearly 20 years ago while travelling NZ as a backpacker.
well Wellington is the home of Jayrem Rec, so I tried to find some of those and other raaare NZ metal records there and elsewhere...
And ...
YES, I found them: Rose Bayonet, Godzone comp, Stormbringer Life MLP, Tokyo 12"...
BUT...
I could't buy them!!! - they were private stock of the shop owner collecting everything independently released vinyl in NZ...
so we just listened to the records and had a nice talk together... remember, this was before you could listen to everything via the web, most of my big vinyl collection I bought without listening first (which means I bought a lot of "sh#t" as well, just because it was labeled as 'power metal' by someone
)
OK, I never saw those records again anywhere in NZ or worldwide, so I am still missing them in black wax, shit happens
The only relevant NZ records I found were like Fat Sally, Nightshade, Lionheart and the 3 points of metal comp, only second choice but better than nothin
BUT - anyway - it was a great vacation with travelling nearly everywhere through this great country and met so many nice fellow travellers...
cheers
I have been outta here for some time, maybe some folks remember me, maybe not...
Now back in the game here - I missed you - cheers
