ST HELLIER - Terra Firma The title track from ST HELLIER's 1989 LP is catchy with a radio-friendly late NWOBHM sound.
MOURNBLADE - If You Can't Be Good Quite a change from their debut, this sounds more like a lighter MOTORHEAD with Ian Astbury style vocals. Same version that appeared on their 1988 LP.
THE GIFT - One Way Need Glammy melodic rock.
WHITE LIGHTNING - Dealer Hard blues rock that was intended to appear on their unreleased 1990 LP, Paradise. At A Price. Rereleased in 2010 on a compilation of their collected works.
LEGACY - Lil' Misdemeaner Extra crappy WHITESNAKE copycats.
JACKAL - Tearing Me In Pieces Finally some real metal! Power/thrash with some solid riffs and interesting tempo changes, though a bit clumsy at times. While early ANTHRAX was certainly an major influence, the weak production reminds me more of HEATHENS RAGE.
GORZALA - Crazy Love Underneath those crunchy guitars it's just another boring biker rock song.
Tracklist side B:
ST HELLIER - Scavenger From the opposite end of this band's spectrum we have some fast, almost German sounding metal.
MOURNBLADE - Red Hot Reputation An awful sleazy mess from their 1988 LP.
THE GIFT - Way Of The World I wonder if these guys even had hard rock in their minds, or were aiming for something more akin to DURAN DURAN.
WHITE LIGHTNING - As Midnight Approaches Mostly instrumental melodic guitar piece with some talking, this is an alternate version of the outro to the piece "Frightened Children" on their 1988 LP.
LEGACY - Midnight Machine This time they rip off GUNS N' ROSES, and they do it just as badly.
JACKAL - Tourniquet More of a straightforward screechy speed metal number. The band also appeared on the ORGAN17ISM tape compilation with a different track.
GORZALA - I Want Your Lovin' Generic hard rock that's almost as bad as LEGACY.
