I've bought many times from HLRecords and sometimes response can be a bit slow, but in the end I never had a problem. Always a correct service.

I always liked the packaging of those Long Island Rock Classics. Some of them are getting quite rare and pricey, like Rescue - S/T.

Good to see you love them Thomas, I for one dislike them.

One by one I am replacing them by better rereleases like recently Stan Meissner's albums (on Yesterrock). Only a few to go (like the brilliant Rescue ...)

Then there are the LIRP releases..Like the PARISH - "Envision" LIRP 90003

 

Correct, but I believe there was only one of those. Thanks !

actually, there were a few of them LIRP's:

LIRP90001 RATED X Words CH Features a BEATLES cover song "Come Together" (France 1995)

LIRP90002 MEDALYON Visions

LIRP90003 PARISH Envision released 1995, "Long Island Rockpower"

other releases from the label:

LIR 50048 OUT OF ORDER - Do You Have Other Fish To Fry?

LIR 50066 MAXIME - Behave Yourself

LIR 50077 TUSK - Tales From A Haunted Book

LIRSP 80001 V/A Billy Boy - Standing Ovations Vol.1 div. Cardboard package, original release came with Billy Boy condom

Cool band indeed, I have their debut Night Dreams (pure old school AOR) and Arrival (on Frontiers). Recommended stuff. I didn't buy 'Rising up', I still remember negative reviews about the bad production.

Very sad to see the end of Target Records. A long time ago I bought quite some CD's from Robert, in the 90's when he used to send his catalogue on paper to each customer. A very honest seller.

I need some advice.

I'm still looking for Rebellion, Masters and Obsessions. These albums are hard to find over here in Europe.

On eBay they are so 'cheap', even the 'Buy It Now' ones. And all of them seem to be like new.

Should I wait for the re-issues or go for ebay with the risk to end up with a bootleg?

Agree, a very underrated band, such a shame. Their music is very melodic.

Time Tells No Lies, Only The Children Cry, Forever In Time, Nowhere To Hide, Sanctuary are my favorite albums.

The only weak imo is 'the journey goes on'. Doogie White on vocals was not the right choice.

Got this album today and what a nice surprise I must say. Excellent stuff.

Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast gets my vote, it is a CLASSIC

Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance : good album but can't match Maiden's classic

Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind

Judas Priest - Defenders Of The Faith

So difficult to choose, but Priest wins this one because Defenders is their all time greatest album and I consider Piece of Mind Maiden's second best album.

Iron Maiden - Powerslave

Judas Priest - Turbo

Turbo was a disappointment. Powerslave doesn't reach the level of Piece of Mind but it contains some classsics like Aces High, 2 Min. To Midnight...

Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time

Judas Priest - Ram It Down

Once again Maiden wins this poll. Ram it Down is missing inspiration and old rockers like Johnny Be Goode don't belong on a metal CD.

Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son

Judas Preist - Painkiller

Preist wins. Painkiller is such a strong and highly underrated album. This was at the time Priest's most powerful album and for me one of their finest moments (together with Defenders and Live 87)

Iron Maiden - No Prayer For The Dying

Judas Priest - Jugulator

Priest without Halford is not Priest.

WT - Frozen 2track

WT - Frozen 5track

Sunstorm

Frontline - Circles

Next one will be the Da Vinci re-issue on MTMClassix later this month

Sabu - Heartbreak reissue MTM Classix (3 bonus tracks)

Ten - X

Loudshine - Loudshine (Canadian Female fronted Melodic)

Stan Bush - Every Beat Of My Heart (pure AOR)

The worst one I remember was Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Steve Martin. Love Steve but that was the first and only movie in my life I had to walk out of. It was 110 degrees out but even air conditioning couldn't make me sit through any more of it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

that is a brilliant comedy with a brilliant plot!!!

Love that movie. Is in my DVD collection.
