Format:Audio CD
When Glam Rock was at it's peak along came a band called Geordie with a stomping Glam/rock album.
The album from 1974 was originally an 8 track album so the last to tracks are a bonus.
The album has for me classic tracks such as Goin'Down, a brilliant cover of House of the Rising Sun, Got to Know, and for me the ultimate classic, Ten Feet Tall.
There is also a classic ballard in Little Boy.
The remaining tracks So What, Look at Me and the haunting Mercenary man make this a must album for those who missed it in the past.
I have it on vinyl now on cd.

Brian Johnson at His Best
16 Jun 2001
Format:Audio CD
Wow, anyone who thinks Brian Johnson's voice peaked on "Back in Black" should check out this album, where he actually SINGS. Could this man ever sing. It's clear that if BJ had just taken better care of his vocal cords and produced more albums at this level he would rank in the league of Halford, Gillian, Dickinson, and Dio as one of the best hard rock/metal vocalists of all-time (I find him to be anyway, but that is not the general consensus). The range Johnson demonstrates on the incredible cover of "House of the Rising Sun" is nothing short of amazing, ranging from a soft whisper to a splintering howl. Of course, this album wouldn't warrant five stars if the other musicians weren't up to par as well, and they all perform adequately, though none are on the level of the players BJ would later associate with in AC/DC. "Don't Be Fooled" offers up rockers such as "Goin' Down," "So What," and "Got to Know," along with surprisingly good ballads such as "Look At Me," which Johnson sings very well. Overall, this is a great album to get if you like rock 'n' roll music, and a must-have if you're an avid AC/DC fan; it's well-worth the effort I went through trying to find it.

Geordie Rock
23 Feb 2000
Format:Audio CD
AC/DC fans will get a kick out of hearing this! You can almost get a taste of what they might have sounded like in '74 with Brian Johnson singin' instead of Bon Scott. The Geordie band instrumentals ain't as hard & heavy as Angus & crew but its still nice to listen to and is a must have for the AC/DC collector. Brian sounds a bit like Bob Seger on a couple tunes and the screamin' is limited. He does a nice job with "House of the Risin' Sun" and on the balad "Treat Her Like a Lady".

AVERAGE BAND
5 Sep 2001
Format:Audio CD
this average band was led by guitarrist Vic Malcolm and released three albuns in sucession, between 1974 and 1976. THis one here is the second of them. AC/DC's singer Brian Johnson was their vocalistand I can guarantee you, folks, he was much better than nowadays, when he seems to have lost his voice completely. as for the music, nothing more than average hard rocking, well played but with nothing innovative going on, no big moment.
