Finally had time to listen through the whole episode. Added a few:

08. FIX - It Makes Me Breathe (from the 'Fixation' LP (1978))
10. THE BOYZ - Falling Star (from the 'Bustin' Out' 7" EP (1981))
13. SILVERTHORNE - Tear the Sky Wide Open (from the 'Tear The Sky Wide Open' EP (2019))
14. JUSTIN - Rock My Soul (from the 'Rock My Soul' 7" (year unknown)
16. PHIL CAMPBELL (& Rob Halford!) - Straight Up (from the 'Old Lions Still Roar' LP (2019))

That "Fortune Teller" track is really good, nice Dio vibe to it. Don't know the artist though.

[bigfootkit]

Nicely ID'ed sir (as always), tracklist updated accordingly.
I had the Justin promo 45 being from 1982, but don't take that as gospel.

That "Fortune Teller" track is really good, nice Dio vibe to it.

I hadn't thought of Dio, but that's a rather good comparison. They were a demo only band, and if that song's Dio-like then one of their others is more Rough Cutt perhaps. That wasn't a clue BTW, just trying to temper your expectations a little for the demo overall.

[bigfootkit]

Thanks, as always, to everyone who takes the time to support COTU.
The current episode is in the top ten of both mixcloud's 'Hard Rock' & 'Heavy Metal' charts (yet again) thanks to your patronage.

[bigfootkit]

Is it time for me to reveal the remaining unidentified songs yet?
