Happy Friday! Next week is Thanksgiving here in the States and sadly, there isn’t a ton to be thankful for on this week’s releases except for the few new live releases from Iron Maiden, Jeff Lyne’s ELO and Black Sabbath. Outside of that, I don’t really care too much. I might give some a listen, but got get through these live albums first. My choices are highlighted in Blue! Let me know if anything tickles your fancy.
Iron Maiden – The Book of Souls: The Live Chapter – (Iron Maiden LLP): Of course any Iron Maiden live album is a welcome sight and this one is no different. This will probably be first up on the drive in to work. I know several of my loyal followers will be devouring this one as well. You know who you are!!
Black Sabbath – The End – (Eagle Rock Entertainment): The Final Black Sabbath show was captured and now being released. Not surprising that they are coming to an end, amazingly they lasted as long as they did. I am interested to see how this show turned out and bid a final farewell to this icon of metal music. For that alone, it is worth a spin!
Jeff Lynne’s ELO – Jeff Lynne’s ELO: Wembley or Bust – (Big Trilby Records): Since I have been in to live albums lately, I will obviously give this one try as well. I love ELO and Jeff Lynne so what is not to like about this release. We will see.
Green Day – Greatest Hits: God’s Favorite Band – (Reprise Records)
Tim McGraw & Faith Hill – The Rest of Our Life – (McGraw Music LLC)
Whitney Houston – I Wish You Love: More from the Bodyguard – (Arista)
Bob Seger – I Knew You When – (Capitol Records)
Katherine McPhee – I Fall in Love Too Easily – (BMG)
Barenaked Ladies – Fake Nudes – (Raisin’ Records)
Galactic Cowboys – Long Way Back to the Moon – (Mascot Label Group)
Morrissey – Low in High School (BMG)
Yardbirds – Yardbirds ’68 – (Jimmy Page Music)
Maiden and Sabbath releases interest me, but the big release for me today is Causa Sui’s Vibraciones Doradas.

Glad you have something new to look forward to. Nothing worse than a Friday with nothing new that you want to hear.

Sure are a lot of blasts from the past this week. I’ve always been a huge ELO fan, and made a mixtape CD of all their hits several years ago, plus have a few of their original albums. Also love Green Day of course, so will check out that one.

Too many out there to get them all at once. Plus, Sabbath is a great Christmas present.

I have the Maiden on pre-order (still waiting… I posted about it). I’m very much looking forward to it, though, as it will be a document of the show we saw in 2016!
The Sabbath went straight to my Wishlist. I saw the BNL in the shoppes and it’s testimony to how much I loved them all those years ago that I still had that urge to grab it up on sight. All these years later, though, and I was able to set it back down… for now.

Glad you showed self restraint. Sometimes it so hard to resist picking up something from an old favorite. I hope the Maiden one comes tomorrow for you.

The Sabbath and the Maiden were the obvious picks for this day, but until now I hadn’t found anyone else who picked up on the ELO as well. It’s a shame more people didn’t know of it. It’s a really great live album.

Man, you are going in to an old post! LOL! I like ELO, so no brainer to highlight that one. Jeff Lynne is good people as my brother-in-law works a lot with Dhanni Harrison and they toured with ELO last year and were supposed to be heading to Europe this Fall to Tour with them again. He said the whole ELO crew is fantastic.

They certainly are also fantastic on the stage too. Found this post after doing a quick ‘Iron Maiden’ in the search bar.

Got it. Sadly, I don’t really have any Maiden posts. I have never really dived deep into them outside of a greatest hits album. I love their album covers though. Someday I will go down that rabbit hole.
