Confessions Of A Vinyl Collector "Rock n roll ain't noise pollution"

Monday, April 09, 2007 
Much activity to report recently over at Rock Of Ages with retro reviews covering many parts of the rock spectrum.

Top read review this last month has unsurprisingly been Magnum's very fine new album Princess Alice & The Broken Arrow.  Surely an early contender for Album Of The Year?

Additionally we've revisited the likes of...

Helloween - Better Than Raw
Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers
Great White - Once Bitten
Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time
Saxon - Destiny
Van Halen - Van Halen

whilst also checking out lesser known albums from...

Baileys Comet - Judgement Day
Tangier - Four Winds

and newcomers like...

The Trews with a sampler of their Den Of Thieves album.

I've also found time for an article introducing the talents of UK melodic rockers Sacred Heart as well as producing reviews for both "Get Ready To Rock" and the US rock website "Peacedogman", all of which are linked from the site.

Coming soon will be the bumper birthday edition of Confessions Of A Vinyl Collector as well as the family donations to celebrate my 36th birthday are put toward more grooved treasures.

Since the beginning of Rock Of Ages in February there are now nearly 40 reviews online and over 2000 visitors have read my sometimes controversial opinions.  Stop by, have a read and leave your own comments, views and opinions.

Keep rockin',

Hey Bill,
Thanks for the add by the way. Came across you via Peacedogman, you've got a nice angle here, good work.
I bought the Tangier Album when it was released, well impressed i was. Did i read somewhere they were Danish? Another album worth checking out, also from Scandanavia i think, was from a band called Havana Black (album title escapes me .... Indian something or other i think). Check that out if you haven't already.
Cheers
