Brand New - Alice Cooper Live 1987! Remember that mythical “The Nightmare Returns Tour”? Yup! The one with Kane Roberts and that great track list! Part from the video “The Nightmare Returns this is the only Live show properly recorded from that tour. Here we have the pre-FM master with a superb sound (better than the video!) and a stunning performance!

Brand New - This recording of Anvil's set from the 2nd Classic Metal Fest at Phantasy Nite Club, Cleveland, Ohio, USA on 12th July 2002 was professionally made for a prospective live album which never came to fruition. The whole set was then mixed & produced by Joe Kleon at G4orce Studios. Until today the idea of a live album remained shelved.

Audience 9.4 - Absolutely fantastic tape! This gives you everything and more, including some intangible aspects that people ought not to disregard, and that is atmosphere. What was it like at the show? I want that immersive experience, and I want a clear sounding tape, and I am willing to forgive the lack of some dynamics in exchange for that - but here you don't have to make that sacrifice because this recording is VERY dynamic! I love the meaty drums, and vocals are soaring above and very clear. Guitar is MONSTEROUS too, and mixed properly. This is almost a must have, actually it is good enough to be a top 5 at least for the Tony Martin era.

FM Broadcast 8.9 - Good because it's a broadcast, but there is some compression so you do not get the crisp, soaring highs and separation of instruments is not perfect. It's a somewhat "rough" professional recording and I am not talking about just age or generation of tape either - some of this is probably in the actual recording and/or live sound mix. That being said - it's a really good tape nonetheless and worthy of your collection. Blue Oyster Cult Centrum Worcester, MA. September 24, 1982 01. Pre-show interview 02.

Brand New - The Celtic Frost demos from the Hellhammer days to 1985 and widely spread and are known to everyone! This demos\ unreleased collection includes a couple of songs from an album that Celtic Frost never released “Necronomicon”, the “Cold Lake” demos, the “New York City Demos” from 1992 and the famous “Nemesis of Power” demo sessions.

Brand New - Def Leppard played a "Slang tour" show in Johannesburg, South Africa on 5th December 1996. 13 songs from the show were recorded for broadcast. The band played in front of 37,500 ecstatic and very loud fans. This was the first of three stadium shows played on the mini tour of the country.
-
Audience 8.7 - Loud and brassy, with some distortion on the cymbals at the high end. Taper must have been in the front row on the PA side of the stage. That being said, this is what makes this recording frightening to the ears, a terrifying journey into the unrelenting power and charisma of ELP in their mid 70's prime. There is nothing sedate about this live concert experience, and because it was recorded on very good equipment, even despite the overwhelming loudness of it, it's a rather true representation. Side Note: Jerusalem is a song with more mellow passages and here this recording absolutely shines, jumping quickly to a 9.2 rating and actually remaining better even during the loud segments as it starts to even out - this could be due to taper either moving further back, or making some other minor adjustment. Something certainly is changing with the recording as tape noise increases but the distortion lessens, this could mean he lowered the gain, so the volume had to be boosted during the transfer as his recording levels were much lower. Either way, it had a net positive effect. Unfortunately not the complete show.

Brand New - This is the first volume of demos from Extreme we release (a second Volume to be out soon). Expect to hear some unreleased tracks from the band´s early days. This is a must for any serious Hard Rock\ Glam Metal Fan. Here you have Nuno Bettencourt’s guitar skills in demo version. This guy can sound good in any sound!!!

Brand New - Soundboard/Studio Quality -Live at Hammersmith Odeon & Friday Rock Show Session the two recordings made for BBC in 1984 by Gary Moore. The Hammersmith Show is a fantastic Gary Moore show full of energy and classic tunes. The sound quality is very good and the track list is a must! The Friday Rock Session is a 3 songs session (plus interview) recorded at the mythic Maida Vale Studios in London.
-
Brand New - Live Marquee Club November 29th, 1985 and demos early '85 and late '86. Butler formed a short-lived group in 1984 after leaving Black Sabbath for the first time. Butler wrote some songs intended for the project, but the group did not record or release any material. This mid-80s project featured a fascinating hodgepodge of players as the bass legend was joined by Sabbath's touring keyboardist Jezz Woodroffe and Persian Risk's vocalist Carl Sentence among others. The band was never able to release anything beyond a couple of demos that remain a fascinating relic.

Radio Broadcast 9.1 - A great document! Sounds fine, a touch of hiss but it is amazing how good this sounds for its age - I have heard recent radio broadcasts that sound worse.

Soundboard 9.4 - A lovely bright and clear sound, only noise I hear is between songs. I also love the fact that this dates from a period where there's not an abundance of Kansas recordings. I have to consider this a must have for Kansas collectors.

Soundboard 8.8 - Not the best mix, you won't get everything in a vibrant, democratically mixed way but even so it's going to deliver in other ways for you. The vocals are living room clear, organ and drums occupy the next level of bandwidth, and then comes bass...leaving guitars in the background until they are brought forward during solos or during some of the songs where guitar is a key component. It's spotty there, but seems to come and go in the mix (when it comes it is fine, but then it oddly disappears).

Audience 8.8 - A rather good tape, it's kind of rare to find something like this just because of the extreme volume and what not that metal presents to taping gear - but this one shines. Sometimes the rhythm guitar seems to drop out a little in the mix, every now and then but that might be a PA or mix thing.

Brand New - Live and Studio - During 1979 the band recorded 11 tracks (studio demos), made now available on this CD, wiling to secure a record deal with some American Record Label. Randy Rhoads later left Quiet Riot after accepting an offer to form a new band with ex-Black Sabbath vocalist Ozzy Osbourne. Along with this demo this CD also contains various rare tracks recorded from 1975 to 1979. Songs that remained unreleased.

Brand New - Recorded Live At M3 Rock Festival in 2012. The live album that was missing! Ratt live during “Infestation” era delivering an amazing show full of classic tunes with Warren Dimartini and Carlos Cavazo delivering a great guitar work along with a tight rhythmic section with Crucier and Blotzer together fronted by Stephen Percy still singing great. One of the last opportunity to listen to all this guys together on stage.
-
Brand New - Soundboard/Studio Quality -For a band with such a vast output, there is very little material out there of Rush's music in its embryonic stage. In fact, the only glimpse we've been given of their songs as works in progress have been the few times they've debuted compositions live prior to their being recorded. But to hear actual studio demos, well, that's another thing entirely. Here they are the power Windows Album fully “Demoed” along with a unreleased studio track!

Brand New - Radio Broadcasts - USA leg of Savatage tour like the Vol I, here you can listen to 17 tracks recorded on The Palace, Hollywood/Los Angeles and The Venue in Dallas, Texas. The problem here is to decide what’s the best leg of the tour! Both CDs sound amazing and the band delivers a great performance wherever they play.

Soundboard 8.8 - This is the one the fans have all been waiting for. There are a lot of recordings out there from this period but NONE sound like this! Ferocious! The drums are frightening, vocals up front and scary AF. Midrange is a little busy, but it all sounds so much better than what I am used to listening to, and you know the reality is that unless you are listening to a board tape, this band is damn hard to listen to just because of the cacophony they generate on stage. So, the consensus here is that this has to be considered as a MUST have. SLAYER Blue Moon Oberhausen, Germany 20th June 1985 1. Introduction 2. Hell Awaits 3. Aggressive Perfector 4. Captor of Sin 5.

Brand New - Soundboard - Here we have a totally unheard, uncirculated soundboard recording of Van Halen during their "Diver Down "tour ("Hide Your Sheep tour") on October 24th, 1982. This is the last of three consecutive nights Van Halen played at The Worcester Centrum in 1982. It appears that not even an audience recording of these Worcester shows have circulated previously.
