LEPPARDMANIA – A Tribute To Def Leppard [2021 reissue]

As requested, here’s “LEPPARDMANIA : A Tribute To Def Leppard“, which reunited the L.A. hard rock / metal royalty to pay tribute to British icons Def Leppard.

Galahad – Galahad PROG Sampler (Compilation) (2024)


Galahad, stalwarts of the UK underground ‘PROG’ scene, have been ploughing their own particular musical furrow since the mid-1980s, ever evolving, mutating and absorbing different influences and still sounding as fresh as ever on recent releases.

This sampler collection contains some familiar songs, a few ‘deep cuts’ plus various alternative versions and the odd demo which covers almost forty years of Galahad music, in all its forms, from the first demo recorded in October 1985 all the way up to the most recent opus ‘The Long Goodbye’ which was released in October 2023 to much critical acclaim.

01. L’Arlesienne Suite No2 – Farandole (George Bizet) 04:03
02. Dreaming from the Inside (7″ single version) 05:48
