Ye Olde Metal: 1978 Book. Detailed examinations of classic 1978 albums, using new interviews with guys in the bands, maybe a little available press here and there. These are write-ups that are way more exhaustive than any commercially viable (!) book would ever dare. You know me, I just love getting the stories, no matter how few of us hard rock historian types care anymore.

This one's as power-packed as any so far, with more celebrated and mega-rare Rich Galbraith photos, cool old ads, 45 sleeves and other weird stuff. The book is 250 pages, full trade 6" x 9" dimension, and stuffed with trivia folks ain't never heard before - I guarantee it.

The chapters this time - and I gotta tell you, a couple of these, like the Ram Jam and the DMZ, are the best yet! - are:

    * Hounds - Unleashed

    * Yesterday And Today - Struck Down

    * Frank Marino And Mahogany Rush - Live

    * Teaze - On The Loose

    * DMZ - DMZ

    * The Dictators - Bloodbrothers

    * Dead Boys - We Have Come For Your Children

    * Styx - Pieces Of Eight

    * Starz - Attention Shoppers!

    * The Boyzz - Too Wild To Tame

    * The Godz - The Godz

    * Ram Jam - Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Ram

    * Starz - Coliseum Rock

    * Uriah Heep - Fallen Angel

    * Pat Travers Band - Heat In The Street

    * Streetheart - Meanwhile Back In Paris...
