Any Screaming Blue Messiahs fans

Just saw this:

But I must say that I miss the days when my CDs of Gun Shy and Bikini Red were worth $100 each.  Guess they're worthless now (actually they re-released those two about 5 yrs ago or so, so they've lost their shine a while ago I think).

First live band I paid to see. Riley Smith hall in the Leeds Union Building in Autumn of 85


Previously I had only been to freebies.

I'd got tickets because The Bolshoi were supposed to be Special Guests, but they didn't play, but the Messiahs, wow!

[Master Ray]

I've vaguely heard of the name, but never heard any of the music itself.

Post a couple of recommendations, always up for getting into a fresh band!

Twin Cadillac Valentine - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeGtlaizSzg
Waltz - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLxEWbzXqkU  - A very sweet song.

They also do a great cover of Hank's You're Gonna Change.

Pol - The CD was just coming around when these two albums were coming out and were about twice the cost of vinyl.  I guess they thought they couldn't sell too many of them and only produced a handful of each.  In the early 2000's you'd have to pay big bucks on EBay to get either one of them.  I think Gun Shy was around $100 and Bikini Red was $85.  I made illegal copies of mine and gave them to a few people on some board back then.

Anyway - for $50 bucks you get Good and Gone, Gun Shy, Bikini Red, and Totally Religious, plus all the b-sides and some live stuff.  Can't beat that.  Says it's remastered, so we'll see.
