Style : Hard Rock , Heavy Metal
Country : Scotland
Audio : 320 kbps + scans
Size : 150 mb
Bio:
Formed in 1982 and disbanded in 1988, releasing only one full-length album during that time, Glasgow never gained deserved attention from metal fans. Their music is closest to “melodic NWOBHM” or NWOBHM with some pop metal touch, and that mix works great. Both songs on this single are masterpieces in the same league with greatest NWOBHM bands.Glasgow’s music was at the beginning a mix of good Rock covers from AC/DC and Deep Purple and their own heavy metal/melodic Rock material, they quickly signed to “Neat Records” in 1983 and released the single “Under The Lights” a three song 12” single followed by a 7” single called “Stranded” with “In The Heat Of The Night” as the B side and appeared at Kelvingrove abd East Kilbride Festivals.In 1983 they support Pallas, Spider, Nazareth and Budgie, while in 1985 the big response to their ep that comes from all over the world led them to support tour of twenty one days with Uriah Heep, while voted #4 rock band on Nashville Radio Station with ZZ Top, Motley Crue and AC/DC ahead of them. The song “Secrets in the Dark” is written and originally recorded by Chris Thompson from Manfred Manns Earth Band, then in 1985 by Eric Martin and Glasgow’s is the third version.
Album:
Today we are posting in exclusive first here a little gem: the just released limited edition to 500 of GLASGOW‘s 1987 album “Zero Four One”, digitally remastered and including as bonus track a previously unreleased on CD song.This Scottish band from, well, Glasgow, released “Zero Four One” (being the telephone dialing code of the city back in the day) in 1987 with that magic sound from the era in Great Britain akin FM, VIRGINIA WOLF, GRAND PRIX, etc – catchy Melodic Rock with AOR keyboard flurries. Don Airey provide some his ivory wiz on a couple of tracks.Much sought after for decades, this is a fantastic reissue of an album you need in your ’80s Melodic Rock / AOR collection.Founded by guitarist Archie Dickson (ex WildCat, Heaven) in the early Eighties, the group recorded several demos with a hard rock sound but they never where part of the NWoBHM style.Shortly after fellow Glaswegian band Heavy Pettin’, Glasgow put out a first vinyl single the same year on Neat Records. It sold well, by the band turned down an offer for a full album presumably waiting for a bigger label.Then Glasgow released a 3-track EP on Clyde Records in 1984 as a promotional tool. They got great press and secured a production deal with Sonet Records. Minor Line-Up changes took place – enter drummer Paul McManus, brother of Mama’s Boys leader – before Kenny Denton (The Who, Status Quo) produced “Zero One Four“.Comprised with a catchy mixture of Melodic Hard Rock and AOR like the anthemic ‘We Will Rock’, the pompy ‘Under The Lights’, ‘Back On The Run’ or the energetic Chris Thompson cover ‘Secrets In The Dark’, Glasgow got everything to make it big.Subsequently they toured where they could but unfortunately the band split after Sonet lost interest in rock music by the end of the decade.A new line-up, prolific songwriting for another couple of years followed but Archie Dickson finally called it a day… until recently. There might be something in the making, and I hope these unreleased tracks see the light of day soon.As bonus track, this AOR Heaven remastered reissue includes the 1988 standalone 7” single ‘Will You Be Mine’, even more AOR / keyboard-driven, a real pleasure for fans of the genre.Limited to 500 copies… hurry up to get yours.
