  1. "Knock out" isn't bad but it has too much fooling around/experimenting on it to me; does have some good songs though (Down and out; Hold You; Fight For Love; Take My Heart and Run). "Fireworks" is their classic/best IMO and my favorite; "Point Blank" is 2nd, and I'm surprised no one's mentioned "Don't Touch The Light". Even though they were kind of premature/green sounding and the production isn't the best, there's still some damn good catchy hard rockers on that one. "Starin Eyes" and "No More" rock and it also has a great ballad "You Make me Feel" to name a few. So it's as follows for me from their first 4 (which after that, like everyone has said, their albums just weren't nearly as strong): Fireworks, Point Blank, Don't Touch the Light, and Knock Out. The only other one I have by them is Fuel To The Flames and while it does have a few, very few, good songs - it has a lot of filler.

     

     

    What do you mean by experimenting? I don't hear any of that.

     

    You might also enjoy Rebel Soul and Strike X.

     

    The weird wah lead/intro on "Home babe"; also the backing vocals in the chorus is kind of weird; "Tonmeister" also come to mind when I meant experimenting. They never used a wah on their previous albums and never had a weird track like "tonmeister" so I guess to me they seemed to be trying new/different things. They also had the cover of a once popular song "the Stroke" which I didn't expect I guess; though I just found out "Sleeping All Alone" was a cover and originally done by the band "Surgin"; Bonfire's version smokes it though and is Miles Away (pun intended; Winger reference) of Surgin's original version. I haven't listened to Knock Out in a while; I'll have to give it a listen this week to see if I can hear any more experimenting lol; I mean that album isn't a huge leap in a different direction or anything but I did think they tried a few new things on it. It does have some of the classic first 3 album Bonfire in it though but definitely not as strong.

  3. Skagarack - S/T (original Polydor/Long Island pressing)

    Europe - The Final Countdown (original 1986 CBS pressing and also the 2001 remaster); needed to replace my current CD, which has seen better days

    Steve Thomson - S/T

    Nirvana - Nevermind (first pressing without hidden track and also the one with hidden track); needed to replace my current CD which has seen better days.

  4. I'd like to have an original "The Wraith" soundtrack as well.

     

    That one I've got. Picked it up a few years back. Also extensively bootlegged. Any of these rare 80s soundtracks that you see on eBay that are "remastered" with see-through tray cards are all bootlegs.

     

    *sigh*

     

    Yeah, looking on ebay for an original CD is a tough task these days. I have Fright Night and The Warith soundtracks but they're bootlegs I got for cheap at least. Out of my several hundred CD's, I have about 10-15 bootlegs :anon: I figured they will do/hold me over until I have and want to spend the cash for the real thing. I'll replace em' one day though. One I just replaced, is Skagarack S/T. I have the boot and went searching for the original on ebay and saw lots of boots. I ended up finding one elsewhere. At least that one is being replaced. 1 down, several to go.

  5. I just ordered Le Mans S/T 1986 CD reissue from NEH Records and found these couple CD's at pawn shops (the pawn shops were something to be desired; had to go through a little hell to get these; worth it? I don't know, but I had to check to see what they had).

     

    Beau Nasty - Paradise In The Sand promo CD single with the original version and radio edit. (I thought it was pretty cool and rare to see that one; was a nice buy)

    Flotsam and Jetsom - Cuatro

    Shadow King - S/T

  6. Thanks guys! I've been in the Nazi Prison Camp for only 6 years. They treat me good though man really. I get 1.5 meals a day and when they torture me, it's not personal. I know that and the guard I see daily even says that so I'm in good hands LOL. Nah, I guess when I record from VHS to DVD on my player/recorder it catches a couple seconds of what's on the TV before and after it records the stuff I want. I knew someone would mention the military footage. Maybe someone would think it's a subliminal message or something haha.
