Wasted+Tell Me Lies+Keep the Dogs Away-Thor

More than a touch of Glam with this excellent stuff from Canadian Heavy Metal act 'Thor'. Now you can't go far wrong if you're a body builder named after the norse God of thunder, and I suppose it's only natural that Thor would perform Heavy Metal, though this is perhaps more like a cross Between Lou Reed and Iggy Pop, particularly on 'Wasted', which is no bad thing thing in my book...and what's more Thor-The rock Warrior is still at it over in Canada book him now to avoid disappointment!
Check the 'storming' video below for full impact...and also his truly amazing 'Metal Bending' +'Hot Water Bottle trick' to be found on youtube, a true entertainer!

Bird Of Prey+Easy Livin'-Uriah Heep

Terminally unfashionable, so it seems, and I don't know why? How could anyone not love these two tracks from Uriah Heep? The Heep are still rockin' although my particular favourite frontman, David Byron may have past on to pastures new in 1985...check out this vintage show in Japan, very low quality source, but you certainly get the drift...

It's A Rainbow-Rainbow

Remember Rainbow the kids tv show? 

Probably...it ran from the 1970's up 1992...

Remember the picture of Geoffery Hayes stacking shelves and then the comeback and these rave tracks? 

Well here are three mixes from that time, the Radio mix and Zippy's Rock mix and George's 'Furry Pink remix'.

I've left off Zippy's 'Big Twanger Mix' for now...couldn't fit it in...menkle eh?

Who Put The Bomp-Barry Mann

The Mann/Weil songwriting partnership is one of the most well known and respected in the history of pop, so here's an early cut from Barry Mann asking 'who put the bomp in the bomp bomp bomp bomp..bomp...bomp', and perhaps more importantly the 'ram-in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong'...from the very bottom of his boogiedy boogiedy shoe...got to love the spoken word ending!
