Hope that you find someone to release Power on vinyl!  Love it!

When lockdown's over  I'll tattoo that cover artwork

It would be good but I have no control over the Album Power by Atlantic.  I just played Guitar Solos and some Guitar Parts on the Album. I have no idea where all the royalties go for the album.

That probably be pretty cool to hear some alt versions of those songs, have u made them digital?

No but I will see if I can dig them out as they are all on cassette.

yeah i heard that cd before, i used to have it, good shit.

Thank you.  It's quite expensive I believe to buy now.  I never really got any money out of it. Not sure if Phil and Simon did either.

I have the tapes of us rehearsing it somewhere.  Also some of the singles on record of "can't hold on" which is a slightly different version to the one on the album.

Thank you.  Will do with the CD release.

Hi Everyone,

I was lucky enough to play Guitar on an Album called "Power" with a band called Atlantic (many years ago) with Phil Bates and Simon Harrison and I got to write and play 90% of the Guitar Solo's and some of the guitar on it.

I am a Heavy Metal Guitarist and always will be, but on the Atlantic Album the brief was 'Tasteful' Guitar and so I had to tone down what I normally did and I think I became a better guitarist because of it.

Anyway, I have been writing songs myself now for a while and I have been coerced into putting the songs up I have written/played and recorded myself on Youtube by people who say they like what I do. 

Here are the links.  See what you think.

I hope the Links work.

Keep Rocking
