Immortal’s second album repressed on white vinyl by Osmose. The awesome front cover features the lads in full make up showing off their silky locks. A good hair day all around, I think you’ll agree. Great band, for sure, sadly mocked a fair bit because of their OTT imagery.

A1: Unsilent Storms In The North Abyss
A2: A Sign For The Norse Hordes To Ride
A3: The Sun No Longer Rises
A4: Frozen By Icewinds
B5: Storming Through Red Clouds And Holocaustwinds
B6: Eternal Years On The Path To The Cemetary Gates
B7: As The Eternal Opens
B8: Pure Holocaust

“M with the I-S-T double E-Q”

Before hitting the big time (?) with Britain’s Got Talent Alesha Dixon was the MC in a 90s girl group who had a series of pretty awesome garage remixes. Matt “Jam” Lamont and DJ Face did the duties on this one (Sunship also did another) and it’s a blinder. Nice blue vinyl and all.

A full rainbow of colours on this 1987 album from Australia’s Icehouse. Man Of Colours was available on a choice of red, yellow or blue LPs but some rare, unofficial records were produced at the factory. While one of the stories say that these were mockups a better story suggests employees would produce albums for themselves after hours.

A1: Crazy
A2: Electric Blue
A3: Nothing Too Serious
A4: Man Of Colours
A5: Heartbreak Kid
B1: The Kingdom
B2: My Obsession
B3: Girl In The Moon
B4: Anybody’s War
B5: Sunrise

Shaped picture disc of one of Faith No More’s biggest tunes. I remember loving this when it came out but I’m not sure it’s really stood the test of time. Had forgotten about that duel guitar solo in the middle. Epic, indeed!

A: Epic
B: War Pigs (Live)

C2: Ancient Mags
C3: Thor

A side project by Iron Maiden‘s Adrian Smith released back in 1989 when Maiden were having a year off. As you might expect this is full-on 80s hard rock/metal featuring anthemic choruses, widdly solos, vocal harmonies and even a bit of classical guitar thrown in for good measure. The vinyl certainly lives up to the title being silver on one side and gold on the other. See what they did there?

A: Silver And Gold (12″ Remix)
B1: Blood Brothers (Alternative Version)
B2: Fighting Man

Second album from these Swedes. More of the same retro rock as the previous album, Goin’ Under. Good stuff, if that’s your bag and comes on vibrant orange vinyl with a little light marbling.

A4: Berlin Model 32
A5: Over The Worldly Walls
B1: Clockworks
B2: Rooms
B3: Subvisual Sleep
B4: Sceneries
B5: The Storm
B6: Coming Home

An early 80s synth pop classic here that I’m sure you all know, this version on a nifty shaped picture disc. Cool stuff. If you’ve not seen it check out the video where the singer ponces around in a field with a pint-sized jester.

A: The Safety Dance
B: Security
