Robby Krieger And The Soul Savages (The Players Club / Mascot)
Everyone has heard of The Doors, right? One of the quintessential, psychedelic, hippy bands of the swinging ‘60s, with their influential and charismatic poet-lyricist and front man Jim Morrison, whose untimely and mysterious death in July 1971 helped to form the whole concept of the ’27 Club’, comprising celebrities who died (or more accurately self-destructed)..
Oathbringer – Tales Of Valor (RTR Records)
Now, that’s a fantastic cover artwork! I won’t be tired of pointing out that cover artwork is the first impression the potential listener gets from a certain band or album and quite often (which is a shame) some great albums pass by unnoticed because of poor artwork.

Fate – Reissues (Frontiers Music)
Fate is a hard rock band formed in Denmark in 1984 and seems to be a group very much beloved by their fans but pretty much unknown by many so these three re-releases should go some way to addressing this injustice. The band came together in 1984 before disbanding in 1994 but they left behind..
