Vintage vinyl and terrific tapes...

[Jimbo]

Although Heavy Harmonies is of course a CD data base, there are plenty of great songs and bands that are only on vinyl and cassette. What are some classic bands or songs you would like to see on disc?

 

Speaking for myself, I would love to see a band called 3rd Stage Alert released on CD. Their five song EP was produced by Yngwie "J." Malmsteen. I've only heard one song, "Superstar". It's kind of a cross between 220 Volt and Rainbow, and the guitar solo is very European. I got the tune on a Metal Blade compilation CD that was included in a Heavy Metal record collector's book that has since been out of print, and the liner notes indicated that it was the only song ever released by the band on CD. Too bad if that's true, because it's a killer song.

 

Anyone ever heard this band? And do you have any others to add to the list?

I had the 3rd stage Alert on Tape, and I transfered to CD, it's

not bad, "Superstar" The song on Martin Popoff's Metal Guide ( as you mention)

is the Best song on the release...the rest being rather average.

I'm sorry to hear that. I had been looking for that EP, thinking that if the rest was like "Superstar" it would be worth having...thanks for the info.

[Fat Freddy]

I have a couple of cool vinyl Metallica bootlegs that I'd like to transfer to CD one of these fine days.

[Jimbo]

I'd also love to find American Noise. They had some songs on the radio in the Cleveland market when I was growing up, but I've never seen the LP anywhere, let alone a CD.

[aMetalhead1966]

Okay I was spinning the 3rd Stage Alert and it is much better than I remembered

alot like Graham Bonnett era Rainbow...(don't know why I thought it was average)..

you're da man, bro! a couple of days ago i was browsing the huge HH database and i found that some cheapo boots were added there. please somebody remove them. i always thought that HH was against these liars, leechers, scumbags, bastards etc etc etc.

 

for example the x-caliber-warriors of the night, was a bloody bootleg. and actually i know for a fact that this has been transfered to cd through some x-generation bloody tape made from the original vinyl( i know who gave it to "panos" in order to "release" it on cd)....

I've heard he came out with DANGEROUS MUSIC , but he re-recorded the album. I want a copy with the original sound.

TAURUS-PAPER CHASER is one of my all time faves!!!

[Nebuchadnezzar]

Enchanter from Michigan with the f a n t a s t i c demos "Defenders Of The Realm" & "Time Gone Past Nevermore" comes first in my mind, Stormbringer from Illinois with the MONSTER "stealer of souls" tape etc...

[SideShow]

Deus Vult - Soul Assault (tape)

Trashmachine - Breaking Through The Ranks (vinyl)
