Fun flip through. 38 Special are a Southern Rock band from the States. Had some big radio hits. Hah. The page showing the album Metal Concussion - 12 Killer tracks - the first band is Hanoi Rocks. Don't get me wrong I like them, but would not think they'd be put on an album with Metallica, Priest, Sabbath and Accept. Cheers.

I got Popoff's Rush books for my wife. Nice presentation, but terrible writer. The writing quality is at the level of a second semester journalism undergrad. Kiss is great, though. Cool cover.

Thanx for taking us back to 1986! Device was a Canadian pop-rock band, they were not heavier than A-Ha and I'm surprised Kerrang wrote an article about them. I've also noticed another article about Inxs in that issue so I guess Kerrang was trying to reach out to pop fans?! ;)

I looked up the guys address who owned your mag in Bradford on google street view and there was a middle aged guy with a weed trimmer in the front garden. Could be John Crompton

I am wondering what would happen if you write to these old addresses as well. If you find my old address in a early/mid 90s magazine and you call the phonenumber you can still have a chat with my parents, hahaha... they have the same number since the 70s! If you´re lucky, I could answer the phone, hahaha...

Where's the cigar and personal assistant?

Excellent additions to the OG vinyl collection here Mike. Being such a huge fan of ‘Refuge Denied’ I was so excited to hear what they’d do on their 2nd album… & I was not disappointed. I absolutely love ‘Annihilation Principle’… I especially love the mellower tracks… so beautifully melodic in places. Good to see you as always mate🤘🏻

Nice additions there Mickey.....glad to see you got Feel the Fire 🤘🤘🤘

Rat Skates was such an integral part of Over Kill. I absolutely love the title track off of Feel The Fire. Of course, Rotten To The Core & Over Kill are classics. I do prefer Taking Over & Years Of Decay, but Feel The Fire is my 3rd favorite Over Kill album.

Great additions to the OG collection, Mike. Slightly envious of the Atheist vinyl 😂

Some excellent additions to your collection here, Mike! There's quite a few of these I don't really know very well or at all, tbh. I must educate myself! Enjoy the new spins, my friend! Cheers! 🤘

Best band on earth came from Scotland Nazareth featuring the king of rock Dan McCafferty

First pressings don't have bar codes.

Flotz tried getting the master tapes back, but of course Electra Records don’t give a rats ass & made the price unaffordable. So they re-recorded the album in 2014, it’s ok but nowhere near the original. Have you ever tried the 3rd Sanctuary album? I still want to get that on cd. Great update 🤘

Hi Mike!! well done and cool OG additions to the collection, most of them in perfect condition too..... Early Overkill is really good and i think for many fan the albums before "Years..." are kind of overlooked. I discover D.R.I. with their more "thrash" albums "4 of a Kind" cool release. Sanctuary is another band i listen for the first time i think not so long ago also Laaz Rockit and Risk just listen to them on YT after watching videos recommending someof their stuff, so as you can see i have a lot of thing trying to add too. cheers and be well

Some absolute gems here mate. Id love to get that first Athiest on vinyl, superb album. I was lucky enough to grab an OG copy of that Flotsam and Jetsam album years ago, great stuff. That first Overkill is great. Cheers Mike

Some fine scores. Roger from Atheist died before recording Unquestionable Presence but I think he wrote all the basslines and Tony Choy played them. I prefer it to Piece of Time but it's less thrash and more fruity so might be your thing

Nice stack of OG's there Mike. Always been a big fan of Into the Mirror Black, even though Refuge Denied is better, great to see you coming around to it. Atheist - Piece of Time is one of my all time favorites. Patterson got killed in a car accident early 91, and was not recording anything on the second album, but he was doing his part of the songwriting for it. Tony Choy played the bass on the second album. Risk is a fun band, but still prefer the Faithful Breath era Gold 'n' Glory album by those guys. Cheers. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Great pick ups Mike ..some really nice additions to the collection..have never heard Risk but I do like their album covers

Nice one Mike! That Overkill album is great, I picked it up earlier this year and really enjoyed it. Never listened to DRI or Atheist but I have both on my list to check out, I'm pretty certain I would enjoy both because I love Crossover Thrash and some Technical Death Metal. Cheers! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Excellent pick-ups! Early Overkill is surprisingly good. To this day, I'm surprised everytime I listen to those early albums :D I picked up afairly cheap copy of 'Feel the Fire' maybe last year, but I don't think that one had the Noise insert. I love 'Into the Mirror Black', but it is an album the requires throrough listening. I quite like the Lååz Rockit album, but it's definitely not an innovative album or anything liket hat. Love Atheist's brand of weird jazz death metal. The Risk one's really good too IMO. I don't have a better angle though :D

DRI fucking rule Killer Ateist album too.

I felt the same way about INTO THE MIRROR BLACK upon the first couple of listens. But after a few more listens and really paying close attention to songs. The album became better and better to me. Such a great unique Metal album. I've been having it since about 3years. after it's original release date. And consider it a classic Metal album now. Very good updates Mike.🙂🍻🤘

No wonder that Nevermore played "Future..." and "Taste..." live when I first saw them live. That D.R.I. album is crap, it just bores me. "4 of a Kind" is way better. You can´t describe Risk´s music. Definetely Thrash but not really. They started as a "Krautrock" band in the 70s called Faithful Breath. They became heavier in the early 80s and released a couple of classic "German Metal" albums. "The Reborn" is my fave Risk album, they sound even more different on that...

Great video. Love that Over Kill album. And Flotsam and Jetsam! Really looking forward to their new album! Cheers.

Nice records Mike! I would love to get an OG copy of Atheist on wax! Love that album. Same for early Overkill. DRI - Im more of a Dealing With It guy. Have that OG and the Dirty Rotten EP. Cheers man!

It's fun to collect records but it's even more important to enjoy the music, whatever the edition or the format its released on.

Into The Mirror Black just doesn't cut it for me, the cover always put me off and I was late too the party and the debut will always win out for me - not bad just not great. Never got DRI. It seems like you have been wrong about sooo many albums lol - good to see you coming around! That Risk album was always destined for your collection, if any of us had bought it instead you'd have grown to hate and despise us, lol.

I quite like Risk!! And you are not that far fetched with that Running Wild remark as Thilo Hermann from risk played on four running wild records in the. Nineties starting with Black Hand In…. He also did a record with Grave Digger and Faithful Breath…

Awesome additions to your collection, Mike. Good to see Overkill, Atheist, Sanctuary and D.R.I..

I have the Overkill vinyl box set - Horoscope is my fav, although I do like all their albums - I hear cack is a bit naff though. Was never into Sanctuary, as I never liked his vocals - so never got into Nevermore for that reason. Got Laaz Rockit on cds - all originals as ive had em years. DRI - got all the first few on Roadrunner ( cds ) . Love Atheist - got all of em on reissue vinyls - id rather have reissue vinyls cause I like em all new and shiny - I hate worn sleeves lol.

Very Nice OG additions to your collection mate 🤘Annihilation Principle is my favourite Laaz album 😂 and has one of my favourite cover songs done by a thrash band on it. Hope it clicks with you one day but we all can’t like the same stuff all the time. Melodic thrash/speed metal mix I would basically describe Risk as but they are bigger In sound than that, those first 3 albums are killer.

The Glam look pictures of marketing were the problem, not the music

Cold lake is one of my favorite Celtic Frost albums

Jurgen! “What are Saturdays lottery numbers”😂

Cloudy Milder lives!! Great to see Andy back and all four of you having what looks like a really good time in each other’s company.

I remember owning that mag and being bemused why you'd put Testament on one side of the poster and Doro on the other 😂 It's always a great reminder seeing the gig guides from back in the day. Another episode of historic metal majesty 🤘

I have a London album that came out on Noise in 1990 called Playa Del Rock and it’s a half decent hard rock record.

if you do sell over the 1k and have to start paying tax does someone know how much tax you have to pay? is it a fixed amount or a %? and do you pay the tax after each sale, monthly or yearly

Queensryche blew Metallica offstage in Leiden, Holland 1988 :)

Hi Mike!!! Yes, you're right 1989 was still a big year for glam/hardrock, but you can see other heavier styles of music appearing more and more like Helloween's Eurometal or thrash. Btw i also think "Live in UK" is and awesome but extremely short live recording. Trevor Rabin was Yes guitar player during the 90's (90125 - Big Generator) and Brad Gillis (Night Ranger) played with Ozzy after Randy Rhodes accident (Speak of the Devil). cheers

haha Dave Vincent's glam era was better than the pics of him in his wife's band Genitorturers where he looks like a goth Nikki Sixx

That Helloween poster in Metal Hammer adorned my bedroom wall for a long time back in the day.

I´ve seen Crüe on that tour, that was the ONLY time they were acceptable... all the other gigs I´ve seen were abbysmal! Our old Repent drummer had an american background, his uncle played in the brass section on "Dr. Feelgood"... strange. The Phantom Blue debut is really good, heavier than they look. Haven´t you had enough "Bad English" in the last week??? Hahahaha... Wasn´t Old Skull the band with all the 12 - 13 year old guys?

Gang Green fucking rule. Fish at Elgin Town Hall.15 miles from my house.

Cool Magazine!

Cool seeing " Contact In Blood " german edition. Fun Stuff. After ages I have just received a e-mail that the latest " Crypt Sermon " is on its way. But my order for the previous album that Mike showed was cancelled. Interesting that it is hard to find a metal bargain in Germany.Would have thought it would be one of the places full of the stuff.🤘
