Hats off to Jurgen, Aaron and Alan for this outstanding episode. You guys showed us the rare, the not so rare, the affordable and the insanely priced items. Also great that Jurgen showed a lot of the new anthology sets that provide the best bang for the buck.
That Tredegar album is a really nice one. I'm local to that area, it's named after a town in south Wales. It's ponunciation for us would be 'truh-dee-guh' 🙂
Excellent vid, I will certainly be referring back to this one on many occasions as I have with your guys other New Wave of British Heavy Metal discussions as I build up my collection. You guys are a wealth of knowledge on the subject.
Enjoying catching up in the stream tonight. Love seeing the really obscure stuff getting pulled, many things I've only ever read about in Macmillan but never actually seen. Tredegar is pronounced Tre-dee-gar, it's the town in Wales where the Budgie lads originally came from.
Great show as always with these dudes. A few of my favourites would be Saracen - Heroes, Saints & Fools, Quartz - Stand up and Fight, Crys - Rhyfelwr, Black Rose - No Point Runnin', and the New Electric Warriors comp. As an aside, the Streetfighter track on NEW might be my favourite NWOBHM track, and I struggle to think of anything else that sounds quite like it from the movement. To my mind, it sounds like someone zapped Scorpions circa 1977 with a British ray right down to the occasional Uli style shouts peppered throughout the track. Nothing else was released by the lineup featuring John Sykes and Merv Goldsworthy, as John left before the 45, which was a shame in a way.
Nice picks! Yes, that Streetfighter track form NEW is great and much better than anything on their EP. I've always liked 'Heores Saints & Fools' a lot too!
Some good picks shown. I think I`ve said it before on some comments, like with many other broad "genres", there was so much material being put out, and I feel like a lot was just very average/run of the mill or not very original-rehash or otherwise good instrumentally, but unfortunately ruined by not apt/poor vocals in my view. Of the early ones and not so known mentioned, DERVISH is my choice. One of my favorites (not sure if it was talked about during the stream-coudn´t watch the full 4 hour session) is SANCTUS from London-their 2 demos from 1982/83-mixing the NWOBHM with prog/space rock. Love it. Cheers!
You're right, there is a lot of not-so-great material out there too. I did an episode of LET'S TALK METAL a couple of weeks ago reviewing a few NWOBHM singles that I think are pretty bad. DERVISH did get a shout-out, great band! I mentioned demo-only bands briefly but forgot to bring up SANCTUS; I haven't heard their stuff in years.
We did an episode 3 months ago that covered great LPs from the early years of NWOBHM (1980-1982). If this link below doesn't work, it was episode #94 ua-cam.com/video/o_LP4ZtXMKU/v-deo.html We'll probably do a future episode on great LPs from after 1982 sometime.

The guys crushed it in my absence!! I have zero skin in the NWOBHM game.
Appreciate the shout out Alan! Excellent episode; always learning new stuff about NWOBHM in these streams
Thanks Lee! I think I still have a little of your stream with Mark to wrap up but it's a fantastic episode!

That's cool to hear, thanks! It's really nice to know that while we're goofing around we're also able to help folks explore NWOBHM.
Aaron, the Blackwych LP from 1986 was released in Ireland on Crashed, so was the Green Metal comp from 1985.

glad you enjoyed the show Andi, and thanks for clearing up the pronunciation for us!

Alan you did a great job at the helm and it was an education masterclass in the NWOBHM genre props to jurgen and aaron too!
Thanks Robert! I learned a ton listening to Aaron and Jurgen, not to mention reading the chat posts.
Alan is always captain of the HM ship!! This was a great episode! Thanks for watching.
Savage..lose n lethal. That's a killer one..just found a cd copy in new Zealand..my country.
Idol Rich "Working Girls" is great EP
That John Diggens guitar would've been a good prize. Pretty sure he's the guy that made Toby Iommi's custom Sgs
Oooo cool! I saw that mentioned in the chat but didn't get a chance to respond to it.
Cleveland rock n roll, The Pagans and Dead Boys.

Tysondog is great n not really rare! I can't believe no one heard such a classic!
Shame on us. I saw it in a local store several months ago and was interested but the condition was not good so I didn't buy it.
Tank had a picture disc
That's right! I forgot about that.... and I used to own it! Thank you for mentioning that, sorry we missed it.
Jurgen's friend must be Patrick W. Engel over at Temple of Disharmony.
That´s correct! I know Engel since the very early 2000s, he played in a band called Impending Doom. He lives 15 Miles down the road from me.
@@albertampel4175 Awesome! He has a huge resume for High Roller at this point. Small world over in Germany 🤣
Jurgen knows most everyone in the German metal realm!
Venom is FWOBBHM.
It too me a second to decipher the an acronym. Cheers!
@@HeavyMetallurgy Cheers! I know it's debatable...
Disappointing, was hoping for albums.
There was already a session done on full length NWOBHM albums

@@letstalkmetal thanks, I’ll check it out.
