97FM in Wpg did homegrown projects in 1987 and 88. Later, Citi FM did one called Citi Streets . There was also a Christmas album featuring a number of local acts. I have them all. Always loved supporting local Winnipeg talent when I lived there.
Great video and keep the album highlight segment it was very enjoyable...thats so cool about the VCLT from Baltimore...I am very familiar with that station...I listened to it when I visited my family in York,PA very close to Baltimore, MD
I have that same TFFL version as well. Rarer than hens teeth. Tom Zutant said he figured about 2,000 copies were pressed, with only 500 of them being the promo version. Discogs shows the high price for that album at $175.00. If more people were aware of this album I'm sure it would be worth a lot more.
Enjoyed the video Frank!! I remember 98 Rock very well when I lived in Maryland. The one band you mentioned to the Ravens they were actually on the soundtrack to fast times at ridgemont high. 🎸🎸
I looked for that Canadian Leathur press for years but never came across it. Eventually I splurged and bought the 2nd Leathur (US) pressing off ebay when a decent price came around. One of my favorites for sure!
I was never a big Motley Crew fan but did listen to that first album quite a bit when it first came out early in my highschool days. Still, that was a very cool bit of information regarding the pressings. I eat that stuff up. Always love to learn about those. A friend of mine had the album that we listened to, but can't remember the label pressing. It may have been the leather pressing because I do remember the smaller band name on front. Still cool bit of info. Please keep those coming!
I got a "leftover" copy. Canadian press, Leathur cover art and track list on the cover. The lp has the Elektra mix and track list. They had more covers than records so there was this version too.
Was in HS when Crue came out with Shout at the Devil. Back tracked and picked up Too Fast for Love, Elecktra pressing and still have both of my originals. Didn’t know until a few years ago that there was a Leathur Records version. Cool to hear about the Canadian pressings. On a related note, my first concert ever was early 1984 in Cincinnati, Ohio…. Ozzy’s Bark at the Moon tour with Motley Crue opening up. Unbelievable show!
Really enjoyed the new series, “Record of the Week.” It’s great to see some of the unique vinyl you own. Thanks for sharing. I hope this new series won’t replace “Vinyl Dens” though. I also really enjoy watching that series too!
I found a record like that in a .99 cent bin. It's called WLLZ Motor City Rocks III and features local Detroit bands from 1985. I found it in almost new condition in a .99 cent bin in New Orleans, LA last year.
I always find those homegrowns in the salvation army /thrift stores of that city. When I lived in Connecticut, I found some WHCN albums. Now that I'm in Florida, I've found a couple old WAPE and WQIK samplers in a local antique store
20 years I aquired a special double 2 in one promotional LP of the A side of Angel City's Flush the Fashion with the Epic label and side 2 had the A side of Men At Work's Business as Usual with the red Columbia label.
I have that pressing :) ironically when u found it I was buying most of a milk crate of 80s metal/rock records and didn't even click what pressing it wad until I got home. Paid $5 a record for the crate.
I dig the record of the week idea. I've been doing my most rare albums on Thursdays but I think I'll switch to just regular albums I love once I'm through the rarest ones in my collection. I never did get around to grabbing the early mix of Too Fast For Love but I do have their S/T album from 1994 which is pretty rare.
Picked up my Too Fast white label Canada promo at a Toronto record show about 25 yrs ago. I had heard the missing tracks and demos on some cassette bootlegs I had acquired so just figured it was a cool collectible. Never played it as I was hooked on cd's at the time. My buddy found it for 5 bucks in a bin and I gave him a 5 dollar finders fee-10 total. About 5 years ago I was given a new turntable as a gift and it was the first album I played. I was blown away by the mix...i figured Stick to Your Guns was the only difference! And also the inner photo which is different than the traditional Elektra TFFL. The record had never been played but has been several times now. In fact a few years ago i invited a few fellow Crueheads over for a listening party. They too were blow away. More Cowbell! And more Mick Mars. This is the best mix of one of the best and most important rock/metal albums of the 80's. Ask Green Day or Pearl Jam about its influence-who knew? Now-on with the show.
I agree. The original mix so much much better... really raw. I remember the first time I heard the remix of Live Wire, I wondered what happened to the applause during the breaks.
@@Channel33RPM lol so true! Heard the "clapping" mix on the Japanese Raw Tracks cd decades ago. Thought it was cool but I thought wow...thats the only difference from the original album and I paid 40 bucks for this! (a days pay in those days). Little did I know the entire original mix was a Raw Track. If you are a deep diver I love Running Wild in the Night from (I believe) the Shout demos. Best non released Crue song (since Black Widow is on Red White and Crue)
cool,a friend of mine bought the Leathür records album out of a bargain bin long before they were famous & way before the Elektra remix came out, but it was not Canadian, it was an import from Germany & also did have Stick To Your Guns on it. Nobody had heard of them. Interestingly it was not called Too Fast For Love (as yours is) even though it did have that song. It just said Motley Crew on it, so there must have been multiple versions of the Leathür records edition.
Mr ,33 I was at the monster on the mountain in pigeon forge TN tonight oct 15 and Vince Neil was on stage he missed a step and fell off the stage and broke some ribs . I think he was sober to.
Back in 2009 i bought a copy of the Sex Pistols Never Mind The Bullocks original 1977 vinyl pressing. When i opened it i was shocked to find that the "label sticker" on Side A was placed incorrectly creating an "air bubble". Somehow it never popped after all these years.
I've got a half dozen local band albums from the late 70's. Two of them were from radio station contests. A roommate of mine got a crazy bedroom recording called "The Unfortunate Chef" onto one of the albums. This burned the heck out of another guy I worked with who's band spent a crapload of money in the studio on the multiple songs they'd submitted (they all sounded like bad Cars). We got to play a set at First Avenue to celebrate the album release. The other radio station album was pressed on Twin Tone records and , amazingly, a whole lot of Twin Tone artists wound up winning spots on the album. Twin Tone was a pretty legendary Minneapolis label but they weren't what you would call altruistic.
I have the Helter Skelter picture disc, that supposedly has the leathur mixes of 2 tracks. I can barely tell a difference from the 82 mixes. Maybe I need to play them back to back? The elektra 82 common mixes are still very raw
hey frank...love the toque and hoodie man...nice additions...i used to have a copy of crue on leather...it had the small logo, but i'm not sure if it was a canadian pressing or u.s....either way, it's now a purge from the past...peace to you and yours my friend...stay warm...rocky
If you want the CD version of Too Fast For Love the Leather version it is available in the first Motley Crue 2003 Box set Music To Crash Your Car To Vol .1 with both versions the only way to get it is through the box set even if you have the last three albums after Too Fast For Love it is worth it .
A Canadian Leathur mix on Elektra? Well what do ya know! Good to know. I have my original Leathur 2nd press I bought new back then. Wrathchild America I saw play numerous times here in upstate NY and they always packed the rock club. One of the best bands I've ever seen, huge talents!
I had a Leathur 3rd press in my hands 2 years ago, and I passed on it, because I thought the $100 price tag was too steep. Now the price has skyrocketed. Kicking myself...
I got the 2nd and 3rd pressing US versions of this “too fast for love” and the Canadian cassettes,,but not the Canadian vinyls 👍🏻 Some day hope to come across them and the US version cassette !!!!!!
Always preferred that version of Too Fast For Love as well. Loved it back in the day. I haven't heard it in years but seem to recall the original mix not only sounded more "raw" but incorporated more of Tommy's love of cow bell lol! Also prefer the track listing to include Stick To Your Guns...what's right for you ain't right for everyone!🎶🤘🤘
I have 2 canadian cassettes, both have identical paper labels both elektra. The only difference is the cassette itself. 1 is the leathur track listing and the other is the remix.
I enjoyed the record of the week. I picked up the "remixed: Let it Be Album today. Good stuff. I also picked up Highway 61 revisted. It was kinda cool because when I picked up the Beatles today the conversation turned to BONE RECORDS in RUssia. where have I heard of that before why Channel 33 RPM. Have you listened to FEA yet. I spin their CD about every other day. Good stuff. Hope you have a great weekend and although it's late Happy Canadian THanksgiving.
Knew about the album, but didnt know the logo was different. I've often wondered if that mix ever made it to the 8-track then. Not like there would have been a big demand for it that way.
I love that Mötley Crüe album sooo much. Love this new section "Record of the Week". Why not "CD of the Week", "Tape of the Week" and "Soundtrack of the Week"?
I have never heard them called a toque. But in the US some people call that type of hat a toboggan. Sounds like a sled. Bet you haven't heard that one. Have a great weekend!
I think I have that "Too Fast for Love" version on cassette! A friend gave it to me over 20 years ago, and he bought it at A&A records in Guelph in the 80s. It says Elektra, but it is clearly not the same album that I bought on CD. I e-mailed Motley's site on it at the time, and the webmaster basically called me a liar. But I have it! :-)
There’s a few of these cassette that have that look of j-card,,but cassettes are different with matrix numbers on cassette there is a black and a white cassette with stick to your guns on it 👍🏻 I have 5 of them same j-card but all cassettes r different
You should listen to Stranger - Hit And Run a video on youtube. Stranger is a Florida-Georgia rock band from the 80's to early 90's. They have alot of great songs and 4 self published albums. They are listed on disc0gs as Stranger(22).

Yes, but the second Canadian press, with the remix, also has the maple leaf in the corner.
The original Too Fast For Love mix is awesome 👌 - Has a punk vibe ! 😎
