GODDO ‘S/T’ CANDY395
THERE’S SOMETHING quite compelling about Goddo. Like Max Webster, they enjoyed a reputation as one of the most magnetic and quirky Canadian hard rock bands operating in the late 70s. Employing an off-kilter psyche and a penchant for the absurd, Goddo’s high octane brand of tough-guy rock was further enhanced by some of the most amusing lyrics of the era. The man mostly responsible for this intriguing direction was bassist and main songwriter Greg Godovitz. Primarily a supercharged high octane power trio, the band unleashed one of the most striking Canadian debut albums of all time. SPECIAL DELUXE COLLECTOR’S EDITION. Fully Remastered Audio, Two bonus tracks, 16 page full colour booklet, 3,500 word essay, new interview with Greg Godovitz and enhanced artwork with unpublished photos. TRACK LISTING: 1.THE BUS DRIVER BLUES 2.DRIVE ME CRAZY 3.LET THAT LIZARD LOOSE 4.I’M LOSING YOU 5.LET IT SLIDE 6.TWELVE DAYS 7.UNDER MY HAT 8.HARD YEARS. BONUS TRACKS; 9.THE BUS DRIVER BLUES (remix) 10.UNDER MY HAT (remix)
OVERKILL ‘UNDER THE INFLUENCE’ CANDY405
OVERKILL ORIGINATE from New Jersey and signed to the much loved and influential Megaforce label. They cut two well received albums prior to unleashing ‘Under The Influence’. Overkill’s secret ingredient was not just their intense sonic thrash assault, but an inherent ability to condense riffs into an almost symphonic cacophony, employing a strong melodic sensibility imbued with thick crunching guitar work. The songs resonate with muscle and melody, a trait not often found in the majority of thrash metal outfits, and the production is crisp and clean, lending the sound a decidedly sophisticated sheen. SPECIAL DELUXE COLLECTOR’S EDITION. Fully Remastered Audio, 16 page full colour booklet, 3,500 word essay, new interview with Bobby Ellsworth and enhanced artwork with unpublished photos. TRACK LISTING: 1.SHRED 2.NEVER SAY NEVER 3.HELLO FROM THE GUTTER 4.MAD GONE WORLD 5.BRAINFADE 6.DRUNKEN WISDOM 7.END OF THE LINE 8.HEAD FIRST 9.OVERKILL III (UNDER THE INFLUENCE)
GODDO ‘…WHO CARES…’ CANDY396
FORMED AS a crushing power trio during the mid-seventies, led by Greg Godovitz on bass, the band quickly rose to prominence laying down a foundation of meaty riffs and intriguing songs. ‘…WHO CARES…’, was issued in 1978, showcasing a band on the move. Whilst their debut album made a firm case for pummelling hard rock, ‘…WHO CARES…’ lays down the law in similar fashion but also pushes the envelope, introducing more complex arrangements and acoustic parts, like the cello accompaniment to ‘Tough Times’. SPECIAL DELUXE COLLECTOR’S EDITION. Fully Remastered Audio, Eleven bonus tracks, 16 page full colour booklet, 3,500 word essay, new interview with Greg Godovitz and enhanced artwork with unpublished photos. TRACK LISTING: 1.TOUGH TIMES 2.COCK ON 3.YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK ANYMORE 4.DROP DEAD (THAT’S WHO) 5.SWEET THING 6.‘PEOPLE IN THE NEWS’ 7.THERE GOES MY BABY 8. OH CAROLE (KISS MY WHIP) 9.ONCE AGAIN 10.TOO MUCH CAROUSING. BONUS TRACKS: 11.TOUGH TIMES (orchestral dub) 12.GREG DISCUSSES WHO CARES 13.ONCE AGAIN (alt mix) 14.SWEET THING (alt mix) 15.TOUGH TIMES (acoustic mix) 16.THERE GOES MY BABY (7” edit) 17.DROP DEAD (THAT’S WHO) (alt mix) 18.TOO MUCH CAROUSING (Instrumental dub) 19.GREENSLEEVES 20.HITCHCOCKIAN OUTTAKE 21.ZOMBAT GREETING
AVIATOR ‘S/T’ CANDY381
AVIATOR WERE FROM the US East Coast and fronted by world-class vocalist Ernie White. Produced, at Electric Lady studios in New York, by man of the moment Neil Kernon (Kansas, Autograph, Dokken), to exacting standards, their album was issued in 1986, making an immediate impact on those who heard their tough, yet melodic, hard rock. Crammed full of superior songs, such as ‘Front Line’, ‘Back On The Streets’, ‘Don’t Turn Away’ and ‘Never Let The Rock Stop’, the album is unquestionably one of the greatest slices of heavy AOR ever recorded. SPECIAL DELUXE COLLECTOR’S EDITION. Fully Remastered Audio, 2 Bonus tracks, 16 page full colour booklet, 3,500 word essay, new interview and enhanced artwork with unpublished photos. TRACK LISTING: 1.FRONTLINE 2.BACK ON THE STREET 3.DON’T TURN AWAY 4.WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME 5.NEVER LET THE ROCK STOP 6.COME BACK 7.MAGIC 8.CAN’T STOP 9.TOO YOUNG 10.EVERY SCHOOLBOY KNOWS 11.THROUGH THE NIGHT. BONUS TRACKS: 12.WOMAN IN LOVE 13.HOLDING ON
GODDO ‘AN ACT OF GODDO’ CANDY397
‘AN ACT Of Goddo’, is the culmination of the band’s insatiable appetite for pushing the envelope. Recorded and mixed not in their native Canada but this time in Orlando, Florida, the music is enhanced by a choice selection of tracks, written with one singular intention, to astound the listener. Produced, once again, by Thomas Morley-Turner (actually a pseudonym for band leader Greg Godovitz) the record benefits from some terrific tracks, including tough nut rockers such as ‘So Walk On’, ‘Take Care’, ‘Work It Out’ and arguably the band’s greatest song, the English/French lilting ballad ‘Chantal’. SPECIAL DELUXE COLLECTOR’S EDITION. Fully Remastered Audio, 16 page full colour booklet, 3,500 word essay, new interview with Greg Godovitz and enhanced artwork with unpublished photos. TRACK LISTING: 1.ANACANAPANACANA 2.SO WALK ON 3.CHANTAL 4.YOU’RE SO CRUEL 5.THE VERDICT’S IN 6.SIGN ON THE LINE 7.ROSIE (JUST HANG ON) 8.TAKE CARE 9.WORK IT OUT 10.ANACANAPANACANA
