Thanks a ton for maintaining this blog, definitely one of my favorites..and one of the places that I still hold out hope I may hear that ultra rare NWOBHM that you try for years just to clap ears on....

Hi Mike, thanks for the kind words and i'm glad you enjoy what we do.
If there's anything in particular you're looking for leave a request in the blog's comment section.
If i've got it you'll get it.

Alright, you asked for it. Just posted a ton of requests.

bigfootkit · Post by **bigfootkit** » Wed Aug 27, 2008 8:17 pm

Woah, i did ask for it didn't i?

Khnud, I'm afraid the only ones i'm sure i have from your list are the ones which i previously posted on NILOOB and before that at Time Traveller blog, which are:
White Lightning
Twisted Ace
Badger
Buffalo
Dawn Trader
I may also have Firebrand & Frenzy, but this will involve me having a really good rummage through the house to verify.
I have heard the Tobruk record and to my ears it was godawful i'm afraid.
Wait & see, a generous visitor may drop by & help out with some from your list, it has been known.
If not i'll put the one's i have in a rar for you in Poisonoise, it may take a little while to do so please bear with me .

I've had the chance to check and the ones i have are as follows:

Badger - Over The Wall EP
Buffalo - Mean Machine 7"
Twisted Ace - Firebird 7"
White Lightning - This Poison Fountain 7"

I think what i'll do is add them to the upcoming posts one at a time so that long time visitors to the blog don't get fed up with a big post of re-ups.
On the bright side, as a result of my search i turned up a few unposted gems that'll be turning up over the next few weeks.
Trust me, you won't believe your eyes/ears!

bigfootkit, do you happen to have the TALAN demo? i don't know if you have heard the 7", it's a damn killer piece of post-nwobhm with fantastic epic keys and very catchy choruses. not less than 9/10 7" as far as i'm concerned. the demo has appeared on ebay numerous times before, i never made a bid though. if i remember right, it had 3 tracks.

Sorry IB, i don't, in fact i've not got that much by way of demo recordings and most of what i do have is in the nwobhm field.
Never even heard of Talan, when are the demo & 7" from?

ION BRITTON · Post by **ION BRITTON** » Sat Sep 06, 2008 7:08 pm

The 7" is from '89, the demo is a couple of years earlier i think. I would upload it, but unfortunately i don't have a rip of the 7" right now. A must-to-hear imo.

Was this an official release, a bootleg, or something else?

It's made up of recordings made for Swedish radio, so the sound quality is excellent.
There are even a couple of songs which are unavailable elsewhere.
