LONG ISLAND RECORDS

[LV KIX]

I just recently picked up the following Long Island releases. Just wondering what people here thought of these releases. Which of these do you like best...?

 

Feel free to elaborate your thoughts on each one...

 

Thanks...

M Pire - great tunes and the mini guitar solo after the first verse of Tears Of Joy is one of the most beautiful things since Vito Bratta.

Of this lot that I've heard, 'VANDAMNE ~ "Nightcrimes" is easily the most consistent, imo, and possibly should have been my pick. Very good CD, and light years ahead of their 2nd album.

 

But I voted for Shank Rock, on the strength of 'Good And Bad' alone - LOVE that tune. Throw in 'I Can' Do (Without You)', 'Like Eagles Fly', 'Turnin' To Stone' and 'Wine Would Do' and you can't really go wrong. Very good disc.

 

I found The Heat and M Pire (except for that one fantastic ballad I forget now) discs to be very average. Not sure I've heard Parish and Friss, to be honest.

I only have two on the list (M-PIRE, VAN DAMNE). I listen to M-PIRE more that the latter..

I would like to get me mits on the BOBBY FRISS release though...

Alot of those Long Island Gold titles were really good releases.

I'm not sure I have heard most of these but I will say that the label really released some quality stuff!

This is the first label I tried to collect. Way back in 1995-96, I got a bunch of stuff and some are starting to command value. Just about everyting I got was very good. My all time favorite was FRONTLINE-THE STATE OF ROCK. Others, that I really liked...

 

Tour De Force-World on Fire

Steel Dawn Mirror Images (reminded me of Dokken)

Message Message (with Richie Sambora) maybe LIR first released

Jaded Heart-Inside Out

Vinci Vinci (reminded me of early Ratt)

Ice Tiger-Love 'n Crime

Jimmy Martin Kids of the Rockin' Nation

Paul Sabu's Gold reissues were excellent

 

I know some of these release were also released on other labels, such as Frontline, Tour De Force, Jaded Heart.

 

Great stuff.
