I bought this album in 1975 when I was at school and loved it and still do.The atmosphere of a live rock concert is captured perfectly complete with guitar and synthesizer tuning, the odd bum note, "chewing gum being stuck on the boot" of the late David Byron and songs which feature the Moog "simplifier" and Organ (?) Brilliant! All the tracks are excellent and indeed some like "July Morning" "Sweet Lorraine" and "Traveller in time" sounding far better than the original rather 'Lack Lustre' studio versions. "Gypsy" is superb with both synth and drum solo's. A real Must-Have album for any fan of 70's rock. "it's going out live tonight so make a lot of noise won't you"! Fantastic.. Play it LOUD!!!

It's hard to describe why this is not great, but i am going to try as it seems to be a rule on Amazon to only review items you like. I have a copy of Slang, which I like, and i thought i would go back to the beginning and work through the albums in chronological order (which works for me normally) but after this, i won't be bothering with the rest. It's just not very good.

well...

all you fans of metallica, don't come looking here for a thrash metal album...

a couple of years ago i bought the garage inc album from metallica which has to be my faveourite of theirs. After swiftly realising it was an album of covers, i researched the artists of the originals and started listening to diamond head.

This was the album i bought. and may i just say, it is a thing of beauty. One of my favourite albums. But please for the love of god dont buy it thinking that it will be a thrash/speed metal noise bomb. Its not.

Although Diamond Head portray a sound that predates anything very heavy, this album shows the transfer into NWOBHM...my favourite tracks have to be Its electric, shoot out the lights, ... Read More:

This album contains all Alice Cooper's big hits from the 1970s. If you were around then, they won't need any introduction to you, and if you liked them you will enjoy this collection.

My only grumble is that the sound quality is quite poor - very muffled in places. I have a vinyl version of this album (bought when it first came out) which I have recently transferred to a home-made CD. I wasn't happy with the sound quality and I thought it because it came from an old LP, So, I bought this CD, but the quality of this bought CD is not noticeably better.

Used Price: £7.80

Having been blown away by the first three albums, unlike the reviewer above I was terribly disappointed with 'Ghost of a Rose'. There are some great moments on it, but the melodies are blander and weaker over all and the tracks less infectious than on previous (and subsequent) albums. Several of the tracks almost get somewhere great but not quite - which is a shame and a bit frustrating as I can see that this album could have been great.
Having said that, the title track is perfect (and better than the curiously re-recorded version on 'Beyond The Sunset') and 'Cartouche' and 'Loreley' are certainly worth buying the album for if nothing else.
I still enjoy it and play it, but it's always an 'almost' great album...

My mantra's usually been that once a group starts doing whole albums of covers, they've run out of ideas.

I'm eating my word with Honkin On Bobo. This amazing album is Aerosmith playing the music that kicked off rock and roll and where the likes of Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendix, Rolling Stones, AC/DC etc etc drew their inspirations; ie the blues or as Keef Richards would say "der bloos."

The likes of Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon are covered with reverance and oh, so well.

What really brings home to me on listening to this, is what terrific musicians Aerosmith are and they're as tight as a drum. One of the best rock bands ever to come out of the US.

An excellent album

A great collection of songs and a great live band - what could go wrong? It's already been said by other reviewers so be warned - the production on this release is awful. For me, listening to it just makes me frustrated as the whole time I'm thinking how great this should have been. So, not much more to say other than the songs are great but the production is frustratingly bad.

Before the drink and drugs got him Phil was truly a Celtic bard who could romanticise about his absent dad and sing tenderly of the girls he too would leave behind. The poignant theme of the Vagabond and The Orphan runs through the first three albums and Eric Bell's beautiful guitar accentuates the poet's loneliness. Check out the guitar break on 'Honesty Is No Excuse', it's heartstopping. I copied 'Diddy Levine' for a mate of mine who was adopted and he absolutely hated it. It's that good! A true artist who just got farther and farther away from his feelings. This album has a depth to it that, in my opinion, he never recaptured. Amazing.
