Well, all I did was search Discogs for "T.V.'s on the Blink" based on the lyrics. The only tracks I actually knew from this episode were the ones by Pandemonium and Hellion.

Looks like no one got "T.V.'s on the Blink" by The Action.

Got a bunch of stuff I'm looking to get rid of and will probably be adding more later. All prices are negotiable (even the $3 ones). Feel free to ask questions about versions, condition, inserts, etc. I'm located in the US and prices do not include shipping. Bitch - Damnation Alley EP (red lettering...

It's "Apartheid" by Germans Disgrace, taken from their "Faces of reality" Demo.

Wow! Congratulations. How did you figure it out?

Your post inspired me to have a look back at Matthews' album artwork & it was surprising to see how much of his early work for record covers was on folk/acoustic LPs & often in more of a cartoony style than that which he later became known for in the Prog/Metal/Hard Rock fields. Annoyingly,...

Which is totally weird as there was no intended yellow/black swirl pressing - the yellow swirl is just a left over from when they switched from yellow vinyl to regular black vinyl in the pressing process. There's always some residue of the earlier colour noticeable on the first pressed copies in th...

Was browsing some old Rodney Matthews covers and came across this. Wrong kind of steel in this band.

250 want / 2 have = 125

I did think the Toyz & Tarot Sutra tracks would get spotted because those comps are known quantities, but taking them out of that familiar context seemed to allow them to slip under peoples radars. I'm disappointed that I missed those 2. Overall an enjoyable listen and thank you for reminding m...

Metal Sword - Disco Is Fuck!

There's lot's of series of "Vancouver Seeds" so maybe other samplers also have something to offer. This one contains just one hard rock band called METAGENESIS ( They had one LP out back in 1983 I think) . Kinda weak RUSH followers with some recycled riffs. https://www.discogs.com/release...

Was looking forward to this episode and finally got around to finishing it. Very entertaining (the whole Sad Iron/Oz thing was hilarious, though I'm sure it wasn't when it initially happened to you Alan!) It's interesting to hear different takes on what "Euro Metal" means. When I thought a...

Sorry for replying months-and-months later (not like that's too uncommon on forums these days, unfortunately) but what do you find to be the top recent NWOTHM bands? I'd love to explore it more honestly, but yeah for the reasons I complained about here - I can't really commit the time I use to expl...

Nice, your mum deserves a generous heaping of 'cool points' for that find. It was official merchandise? From a UK perspective i still find it hard to wrap my head around Grim Reaper's US success. Nothing to do with the quality of their music you understand, it's just that the inroads they made in t...

Oof! Sorry to hear that borrel.

I just remembered one from back in the late 90s, though it isn't a record. My mom was working at a craft fair, selling some of her crocheted wares. She decided to check out some of the other vendors and picked up this for me:
