Various Artists - Dutch Steel - Dutch Heavy Metal Compilation - 2CD (2014)

Niet alleen Punk, ook de New Wave Of British Heavy Metal was belangrijk voor jongeren in de jaren ’80 om een band te beginnen en zelf materiaal uit te brengen.
Bands als Picture, Sword, Frankenstein, Vault, Highway Chile, Impact, Allied Forces en meer brachten zo hun demo’s, singles en EP’s aan de man.
Veel van die bands spelen nu weer en dit bracht journalist Robert Haagsma (Aardschok, Revolver’s Lust For Life) er toe in de archieven te duiken en die originele opnames te documenteren.
Zich concentrerend op Heavy Metal en de cultnamen uit die tijd, kwam hij tot deze compilatie die mag gelden als monument voor een hoogtepunt in Nederlandse muzikale creativitieit.

Various Artists - The Big Ball (Warner Bros. Sampler) (1970)

In the bygone days before multinational corporate mergers and acquisitions left the record industry a smoldering husk of its former self, Warner Bros. Records launched a series of bargain-priced label samplers dubbed Loss Leaders: available via mail order for two bucks or less, these remarkably generous compilations often featured B-sides and other non-LP tracks, but what's most notable is the sheer consistency of the listening experience Warner and its affiliated labels housed a veritable murderers' row of rock & roll legends, and only rarely does a disappointing track squeak into the mix.
The Big Ball represents the first Loss Leaders release of the 1970s, and it's a corker, spotlighting a veritable who's who of legends including Van Morrison (the heart-stopping "Caravan"), Neil Young ("The Loner"), Joni Mitchell ("Big Yellow Taxi"), and the Grateful Dead ("Turn on Your Lovelight") alongside cult favorites like Randy Newman ("Mama Told Me Not to Come") and Tim Buckley ("Happy Time"). This is music that celebrates the creative spirit at its most daring and realized and proves a stinging reminder of how calculated and tame major-label rosters have become in the decades since.
