I live some 15 miles south of Cologne, I remember there was a story featured about that album back in the eighties on the radio. Some regional pride buisness, I guess.

Have you got the remastered version, with live tracks? If they were playing the entire album then I'd go

Didn't know that, but then it was years before I discovered what the backwards lyrics on the title track are.

Both the remasters are pretty good, except that the record company backed out of printing the full booklets (complete lyrics, extra photos - sadly no decent sleeve notes) at the last minute. The complete versions can be downloaded from the website.

I've no idea what version I have *here* at the moment.
I got the vinyl LP back then and listened to it until all the data were scratched out of the grooves.
It's included in the contingent of my favourite records I borrowed to a friend some 11 years ago.. Along with all my Sisters' vinyls.
Thankfully The Unknown is just about everywhere.

Was in Manchester last nite to witness the awesome machine that are Motorhead and the Butlins sing-a-long karaoke that sadly are Saxon.

If there was ever two bands that didn't compliment each other it was these two. Saxon looked like exactly what it said on the tin ; Old, tired and out dated.

Motorhead can never be outdated. Like the Ramones, AC/DC and Iron Maiden they've made a successful career of releasing the same album for over twenty five years, just repackaged and renamed to avoid confusion at the cash register.

When Motorhead kicked off with Iron Fist and the sudden outbreak of some ferocious head banging next to me by a man with no hair and his wife who looked like she had smuggled two Trophy footballs into the show under her distinctly stretched t-shirt, ya just knew it was going to be a good night.

An hour and half later of the same tune over and over again, for some reason I didn't feel cheated even for the £29 it cost me to see Lemmy and his chums. To witness a man on the wrong side of 60 strangle his Rickenbacker into submission whilst a couple of thousand of people young enough to be his kids and even grand children sang along to the song every office worker dons a tie round the head too and air guitars along with ; Ace of Spades, a song the majority of them probably believe Jeremey Clarkson wrote himself.

We are Motorhead and we play rock and roll...
And they deafen the f**k outta of me every time!!

Suck it Eldritch!!

anyways, early uvox have done some amazong stuff - especially the john foxx stuff. the systems of romance album is particularly grand... quiet men, maximum acceleration, when you walk through me, etc etc

I'm rather fond of Level 42's first album. And Ultravox's. And Vienna for that matter.

You have failed on so many levels ( pun intended) with this post, Vienna was about a quarter decent,but as for L***L 42, that is just taking the p*ss.

Get ya coat!

The Vienna album was nothing less than excelent, man.

That video'll be stuck in my head forever.

New Europeans stands the test of time for me - it's an awesome track along with Private Lives.

Here's Seal covering Vienna, not bad at all:

The best version of Vienna , as every knows but is too afraid to admit it, was by Northern song smith.... Frank Sidebottom!!!


"Ohhhhhhhh Timperley"!!!!


Classic

Dammit, would you please get out of my head. I was about to post something that said, "In the words of Rigsby's cat, this means nothing to me," but you beat me to the punch.
