I remember seeing Zebra in a club called Hammerheads that was out on Long Island. They had some great bands that played there in the eighties. If you didn't want to go into the city you could head to Hammerheads, the Rockaway Club on Rockaway Beach or L'Amour in Queens. I saw Ratt with Motley Crue in 1984 at a theater called The Orpheum in Boston. Solid double bill at the time. Nice grab on the Kiss debut. Beautiful copy Steve. You surely know how to find them. Thanks for sharing them all~ Rob/Boston
Very cool. Would love to have seen Motley Crue and Ratt in a smaller venue. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Zebra. I have heard nothing but good things from people who have seen them recently.
Hey Steve, yeah I think of Queensryche a lot like you, absolutely loved The EP and Warning, Rage for Order not so much and then Mindcrime came out and I didn't understand it, still have that vinyl from 1988 mint, but do like it a lot now. Empire is a killer album. Im still looking for In Trance. Nice find on the Overkill FU EP, I remember getting that back in 88 I think, had to have it 🤣 Zebra is awesome, yeah I think the ground rule for vinyl collecting needs to be "I Will Not Sell My Records" Cool find on that Ratt EP, that's the only one I have ever had, but I believe the Atlantic version of that is different, mix? Awesome Kiss grail!!! I have a NM of that album that I paid $2 for at a flee market 8-9 yrs ago but it's a 1977 RCA club press with that stupid extra song. My recent grail that I found was a VG++ copy of the Overkill EP from 1985, couldn't believe I saw it, could not get it in my hands quick enough!! Cheers
Wow nice score on the Overkill EP. I found a copy a year or two ago for about half what they were going for at the time. Such a great EP. I'm curious how many still exist. I believe on 2500 or so were pressed, and I'ld bet at least half are gone at this point. I wish I could just hold on to all of my records. My shelves are overstuffed and I'm always bringing in new stuff...so records need to go out too.
Acid Bath rules! Great to see them have some love. I bought latest reissue of In Trance. Think it was on clear vinyl. I have copy of that Ratt ep that has bonus track "You're In Trouble". First two Ratt albums are great imo. One of my fave glam bands. Congrats for your grail! I got one of mine few weeks ago. No Trend: Dozen Dead Roses. Great punk band. They are known for their debut Too Many Humans which is 10/10 album. Cheers from Finland!
Yessir, I love Acid Bath. Dax Riggs is great. IF you have not, you should check out his solo albums. They are bluesy with a bit of sludge and folk. Really good, and not super expensive. I bought them for about $25 a piece.
@@harmlessrebel868 I have "Say Goodnight To The World". I have to check his earlier albums. Thanks for the tip. I forgot whole solo career of Dax Riggs until I saw your video
Nice pick-ups, Steve! I saw the Kiss record w/o Kissin’ Time in a local record store about a year ago, and it was around $220 and I said no thanks. I haven’t seen another once since.
Funny timing, I finally found a good copy of that Zebra album just this past weekend. :) I thought I had most of the Tigertailz stuff digitally, but not that one. And wow, that Kiss find, yikes!
Yeah, still amazed I found the Kiss in a store...they would have made a lot more had they sold it online, though I'm glad they didn't, hahaha. The Tygertailz is great. I had to order it from Europe, but totally worth it!
Good stuff. Bought the Kiss debut when it came out back after hearing Black Diamond on my local FM station KLBK outta Lubbock Texas. Took a lotta shit from my buds about the cover-till they heard it. Ironically I never even heard Kissin' Time till about 5 years ago. One of few bad marketing decisions forced on the band. Cheers!
Yeah, another case of the label "knowing better". So glad to have it though. It's not an albums I expected to have in the collection because I would not pay $200+ for a copy.
Always enjoy your videos Steve.
Thanks, much appreciated!!
Nice picks man, especially the KISS album!

@@harmlessrebel868 I can't believe that they are still out there playing Steve. They have been around for a long time~
Steve, nice albums. I was just looking for that Scorpions album. Thanks, Chris
I think the pressing I showed is a late 70s, or early 80s pressing. It sounds great and they are not too expensive.

Cool stuff, that tygertailz sounds interesting got to check that out!

Yeah, when I saw the price I thought it was going to have Kissin' Time on it, but when I saw it didn't I couldn't grab it fast enough.
All killer stuff my man. What shows are you going to in October? I'll be at a bunch in the fall too but not sure the dates without looking. Lol.
