Thin Lizzy - Live Tapes 12"(1981)
Tracklist:
1. Bad Reputation
2. Chinatown
3. Got To Give It Up
4. Dear Miss Lonely Hearts
I don't think I'll have to introduce this band to anyone of you, do I? This EP was released during their '81 tour and features four phantastic live tracks. It seems very hard to find and it hasn't come to my knowledge that theses songs are available on CD. So here they are, for your listening pleasure...

Straight Shooter - Get Straight (1978)
Tracklist:
1. Friday on my mind
2. Look at these eyes
3. Early morning view
4. Need you so
5. Summer in the city
6. Thoughts on my pillow
7. Oh - sometimes
I already presented you this precious band last time with their "Love In My Mind" 12". Now here'e Straight Shooter's first album, featuring two cover versions, one being the Easybeats's "Friday on my mind" and the other the lovin' spoonful's "Summer In The City". Not that they needed it - their own songs are just as good. Like all their other albums, this one was released on the famous Sky label.
If some of you have any information about the band's history, what happened to the members when the band broke up, etc - please tell me! Keep the posts coming.

Streetmark - Dry (1979)
Tracklist:
1. Intro
2. Welcome
3. Sunny Queen
4. Lovers
5. Drifting
6. Disco dry
7. Watch out
Like Straight Shooter, Streetmark came from Düsseldorf, Western Germany (as it was then). But they had more in common, Georg Buschman was singer n both bands. but by the time this one was recorded, Buschman had already gone and formed Straight Shooter.
"Dry" is no extraordinary album, but it has its own style, trying to combine some neo-kraut-prog elements with some sort of mainstream-late-seventies diso style n a very naive way. Check it out, tell me what you think of it!

Birth Control - Count On Dracula (1980)
Tracklist:
1. Count On Dracula
2. The Rescue
3. Sad Fan
4. Pick On Me
5. Caterpillar
6. Limelight
7. Witchhunters
Birth Control were one of the best known so-called "Krautrock" bands in the early 70's, with their masterpiece "Hoodoo Man" gaining huge success even in the UK and america. By the release of this album, the band had gone through many line-up changes and went to play a more jazz-influenced style. With "Count on Dracula", they had decided to go a bit more back to the roots, play a more rock-oriented style. And they succeeded. IMHO, "Count on Dracula" is, along with "Hoodoo man" their best studio release.

thanks a lot for Birth Control and Straight shooter. I was looking for these ones for a long time
This thin Lizzy EP exist in Europe under the name "Killers live". These tracks are very rare on cd but exists on the best of "Wild Ones", but only on the japanese edition with a bonus cd of rare live tracks. I got it but I think it's now deleted.
