Just found this ... it certainly brings a tear to my eye looking at some of the groups listed.
... Girlschool ... Fist ... Demon (are they still going?) ... Vermillion
All good, innocent stuff IMO.
I remember first hearing Iron Maiden's Soundhouse Tapes and thinking that they were rockers trying to be punk, then (I think about a fortnight later), Praying Mantis release Soundhouse Tapes Part 2, and I thought they were going to be huge. Captured City and Johnny Cool were two of the three tracks.
So much for me being a music pundit ... back to the day job.
