Ozzy Osbourne - Talk of the Devil


Nr. 7

I'm afraid I've left those stickers on too long and they're stuck now. So you don't get to see what's in Ozzy's gob, but then again you probably didn't want to.


Rosetta Stone 1978


Nr. 6
Rosetta Stone 1978
ros

Sorry for all of you that hoped to catch a glimpse of your favourite goth band, I somehow think they weren't descended from this motley lot - though their names are conveniently listed below each passport picture shoddily arranged around the luxury silver fireplace effect, so you could check up.

Jumping on the disco bandwagon, LP includes desecrations of Sunshine of your Love and You Really Got Me backed with a
would-be Moroder's I Feel Love sequencing.






Black Sabbath


Nr. 5

Great album, but not the sort of CD case you'd leave on your coffee table beside your Morcheeba and Zero7.....
.

Ready to shred? it's. A.R.S.M.


Nr. 4
Aldridge, Rock, Szarzo,
McAlpine
1986 Shrapnel Records
- Project Driver
arsm
It's no coincidence that with their "Project" Driver, Aldridge, Rock, Szarzo  and last but not least McAlpine form the acronym ARSM.


It doesn't improve from thereon,
with a singer called Robert Rock, curly mops worthy of Addis,  and the ill portend of the word "project" in the title. This is long before the inevitable "we would like to thank the following manufacturers for making superior equipment...." [gear then listed by musician, down to granularity of strings/pickups]


The front cover is merely par for the course in the
diplomatic surname-quoting session band arena,
 but it's no holds barred for the back cover....

Nr. 3
From an Aldi 10pk, the  CD-R disk where you just couldn't be bothered...
 
And pipped at the post... it's...
"The Towels"
 
Nr. 2
This Ukrainian band from Canada are basically called "The Towels".

Their Volume 2 failed to set the world alight did as Black Sabbath's 4th Volume despite being bolstered by the appearance of Denis Waterman on guitar, John Densmore on drums, and the church speaker kindly lent to them by the local priest (on condition they keep the levels down).



And the hand's down (or arm's across)
winner is....................


Nr. 1
A far cry from Hocus Pocus, and the overblown 2 LP sides worth of Anonymous II, unfortunately.

Genre that would be played to back the pre-Daytime-TV selection of  Ceefax pages in the 80s, or to this day when the transmitter goes down at Crawley and they "continue with some music"
