I am 00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:12.779 your host, Victor. And for this episode, this 00:00:12.779 --> 00:00:17.539 is my late 2025 vinyl haul. These are some vinyl 00:00:17.539 --> 00:00:24.640 albums that I have procured post the other vinyl 00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:58.960 haul episode that I I'm ready. Quick reminder 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.359 that in addition to hosting Signals from Mars, 00:01:01.619 --> 00:01:04.060 I've also worked behind the scenes helping other 00:01:04.060 --> 00:01:07.200 podcasters. With over 16 years of experience 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.480 and more than 1 ,200 episodes that I've produced 00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.739 or appeared on, I offer podcasting, editing, 00:01:14.019 --> 00:01:17.459 ghost hosting interviews, and repurposing content 00:01:17.459 --> 00:01:21.359 into viral clips, show notes, transcripts, and 00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.599 social media posts. If you've got a podcast and 00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.079 need help making it sound professional, or if 00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.480 you want to turn your episodes into content that 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.219 actually grows your audience, I can help.

Signals from Mars is 00:01:52.260 --> 00:01:55.579 sponsored by listeners like you and also by great 00:01:55.579 --> 00:01:58.540 sponsors. If you've got a brand, product, or 00:01:58.540 --> 00:02:01.500 service that connects with rock and metal fans, 00:02:01.739 --> 00:02:04.219 I'd love to work with you. Our audience isn't 00:02:04.219 --> 00:02:07.140 casual. They're collectors, concert goers, and 00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:09.840 gear buyers who support the bands and brands 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.210 they love. Sponsorship packages start at just 00:02:13.210 --> 00:02:16.909 $150 a month and include on -air mentions, social 00:02:16.909 --> 00:02:20.110 media plugs, and even product features. If you 00:02:20.110 --> 00:02:23.310 want to connect with a loyal rock and metal audience, 00:02:23.610 --> 00:02:26.830 head on over to the sponsorship page on SignalsFromMars 00:02:26.830 --> 00:02:39.620 .com to learn more. All right, so I really like 00:02:39.620 --> 00:02:42.580 doing these vinyl episodes. I like showing off 00:02:42.580 --> 00:02:44.900 some of the stuff that I've been able to pick 00:02:44.900 --> 00:02:48.960 up. I don't know how many more of these I will 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:54.639 do that are new. And what I mean by that is that 00:02:54.639 --> 00:03:01.479 vinyl is becoming very expensive. So as much 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:05.419 as I would love to do a lot of these episodes 00:03:05.419 --> 00:03:10.340 where I show off, what I'm picking up, they may 00:03:10.340 --> 00:03:13.280 be relegated to me just going through old vinyl. 00:03:14.939 --> 00:03:20.439 Why? The cost. And maybe, I don't know, there's 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.099 a lot of people that are switching back to CDs 00:03:23.099 --> 00:03:26.879 because of this, because it's becoming inherently 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:33.199 expensive to purchase vinyl, or I may just not 00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:38.340 have enough vinyl to... to do another one of 00:03:38.340 --> 00:03:41.759 these episodes. So enjoy them. I'll keep doing 00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:45.759 them. I got plenty of vinyl to continue to do 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:50.120 these episodes, just not newer stuff. And, you 00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:51.979 know, I'm probably going to become more selective 00:03:51.979 --> 00:03:58.659 with things. Uh, I do want to thank you for checking 00:03:58.659 --> 00:04:02.169 this episode out. For being here, I do want to 00:04:02.169 --> 00:04:05.090 thank my patrons real quickly here.

I've got a good little community there. 00:05:10.230 --> 00:05:13.149 It's a troll -free environment where we're all 00:05:13.149 --> 00:05:18.970 suckers for good music. Listen, there's two types 00:05:18.970 --> 00:05:22.589 of music, good or bad. And we try to focus in 00:05:22.589 --> 00:05:25.189 on the hard rock and metal. Sometimes we stray 00:05:25.189 --> 00:05:28.410 a little from that. But that's fine. We all love 00:05:28.410 --> 00:05:32.569 music, so that's cool. It's something we're going 00:05:32.569 --> 00:05:37.149 to talk about soon, actually, as soon as the 00:05:37.149 --> 00:05:40.670 next live show that we do. Anyway, thank you 00:05:40.670 --> 00:05:42.970 for checking out this episode. I really appreciate 00:05:42.970 --> 00:05:45.410 it. Out of the millions of podcasts that you 00:05:45.410 --> 00:05:47.970 could be listening to or watching, you chose 00:05:47.970 --> 00:05:51.709 this one. Thank you so much. Let's get on with 00:05:51.709 --> 00:06:15.259 the show. Welcome, one and all, to the latest 00:06:15.259 --> 00:06:18.240 episode of Signals from Mars. I'm your host, 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.100 Victor, and this is technically the recording 00:06:21.100 --> 00:06:26.600 of episode 436 of Signals from Mars. It is, what, 00:06:26.779 --> 00:06:33.860 136 episodes in after the name change for the 00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:38.540 show. I want to welcome Edgar Winterson, who 00:06:38.540 --> 00:06:42.480 is in the chat. And today's episode is going 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:47.139 to be Vinyl Hall. It is late 2025 Vinyl Hall. 00:06:47.300 --> 00:06:50.720 So it's everything from October up until Christmas, 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:57.120 which is where I left you guys off with the vinyl 00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:00.920 that I had acquired. We'll see how long this 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.560 goes. And hopefully some more people will be 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.500 joining us in the chat. And I'll be fielding 00:07:07.500 --> 00:07:15.680 questions and whatnot. Um, that's my idea anyway. 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.399 So we'll just, we'll just wing it. We'll see 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:23.019 how this all plays out, how it all goes. But, 00:07:23.019 --> 00:07:29.000 um, yeah. Um, always fun to discuss, uh, vinyl, 00:07:29.100 --> 00:07:35.180 to chat about vinyl, to show vinyl off. And it 00:07:35.180 --> 00:07:44.670 is always great. To see people interact. Yeah, 00:07:44.730 --> 00:07:49.250 I'm fumbling through some things here. Supposed 00:07:49.250 --> 00:07:56.930 to get started anyway. Just trying to see if 00:07:56.930 --> 00:08:00.990 anyone RSVP'd for tonight. Or if it's just me 00:08:00.990 --> 00:08:08.769 and Edgar. Yeah, that may be the case. All right, 00:08:08.790 --> 00:08:16.629 cool. Anyway. We shall make do. So, as promised, 00:08:17.069 --> 00:08:23.750 first vinyl was released on September 4th, 1990, 00:08:23.990 --> 00:08:28.589 recorded in Vancouver Studios in Vancouver, Canada, 00:08:28.850 --> 00:08:31.629 Triad Studios in Redmond, Washington. That's 00:08:31.629 --> 00:08:35.889 tracks 6, 12 through 14. This is funny. It is 00:08:35.889 --> 00:08:41.100 considered pop metal and progressive metal. In 00:08:41.100 --> 00:08:46.799 Wikipedia, album tracks in at a little over 63 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:53.960 minutes, label is EMI USA, and recorded by or 00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:56.360 produced by Peter Collins, I should say. Tony 00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.120 Espin, how are you, sir? Hope you are doing well. 00:09:01.740 --> 00:09:06.740 Hope it is warmer in Barcelona than it is here. 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.889 So, anyway. So without further ado, the first 00:09:11.889 --> 00:09:13.710 album, it is something that I've been after for 00:09:13.710 --> 00:09:19.789 years. It is Empire by Queensryche. All right. 00:09:21.409 --> 00:09:24.490 So let's see. I just opened this today, even 00:09:24.490 --> 00:09:27.529 though I got a bunch of vinyl for my birthday, 00:09:27.590 --> 00:09:29.610 which is in late October, and I honestly have 00:09:29.610 --> 00:09:34.549 not opened it until today. So, all right. They're 00:09:34.549 --> 00:09:37.690 building empires. That is right. So this is what 00:09:37.690 --> 00:09:43.309 the... jacket looks like and the vinyl which 00:09:43.309 --> 00:09:49.370 i was expecting to be black is transparent folks 00:09:49.370 --> 00:09:52.490 i don't know if you could appreciate that yeah 00:09:52.490 --> 00:09:55.690 you could see like the background through it 00:09:55.690 --> 00:10:02.309 so um that is one vinyl let me get it to go back 00:10:02.309 --> 00:10:15.330 in East side meets west side downtown. Right, 00:10:15.429 --> 00:10:19.850 Edgar? All right. So there we go. So the one 00:10:19.850 --> 00:10:23.389 side is just the Empire logo. I'm going upside 00:10:23.389 --> 00:10:31.629 down, folks. And then if I flip it, it gives 00:10:31.629 --> 00:10:39.809 you the side. It gives you what's on both sides 00:10:39.809 --> 00:10:43.480 there. On the insert, man, as much as I love 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:47.360 vinyl, I'm not a vinyl geek like people. I don't 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.740 know all the terms. So if I mess up the terminology, 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:56.500 I am sorry. I love the music. So anyway, so this 00:10:56.500 --> 00:11:00.179 is the gatefold. So we've got the lyrics here, 00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:05.000 right here. We've got a picture of the original 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:13.039 band there, all with hair. Uh, we've got, man. 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.899 So I guess that's, um, where am I going? Right. 00:11:16.980 --> 00:11:23.580 So that's a whip. Um, that is Scott Rockenfeld. 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:29.600 That is Krista Garmo. I gotta be careful there. 00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:37.389 Um, Jeff Tate and Eddie Jackson. So there you 00:11:37.389 --> 00:11:43.690 go. Game point. Nobody wins. Thank you, Edgar. 00:11:44.350 --> 00:11:46.850 Is there anything on the internet? Yes, there 00:11:46.850 --> 00:11:55.529 is. What is this? Ah, this is a download. I've 00:11:55.529 --> 00:11:58.769 got one around here for what? Metallica's load 00:11:58.769 --> 00:12:02.690 from the last show. You got to find that. But 00:12:02.690 --> 00:12:09.360 anyway, yeah. It's not as if... Oh, no, that's 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:12.279 not a download. That's just a subscribe to a 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:26.100 newsletter. All right. So, yeah, let me put this 00:12:26.100 --> 00:12:30.980 aside without knocking a bunch of shit over. 00:12:39.049 --> 00:12:43.110 Next album. Got this for Christmas. I'm jumping 00:12:43.110 --> 00:12:49.710 around a little bit here. And I forgot to mention 00:12:49.710 --> 00:12:52.830 with Empire. Wait, before jumping on to the next 00:12:52.830 --> 00:12:55.850 thing. So the singles are Empire, released in 00:12:55.850 --> 00:12:59.029 October of 1990, Silent Stupidity, I mean Lucidity, 00:12:59.210 --> 00:13:05.889 1991, Best I Can, June 91. and Jet City Woman 00:13:05.889 --> 00:13:09.629 is August 1991. So see that? The album was cooking. 00:13:10.269 --> 00:13:13.330 So that's why the two singles were released fairly 00:13:13.330 --> 00:13:16.009 close to one another there, from June to August. 00:13:16.129 --> 00:13:19.750 One you had, what, October to March? That's like 00:13:19.750 --> 00:13:23.990 six months. So that was going strong, and then 00:13:23.990 --> 00:13:26.549 Silent Lucidity went on strong there as well. 00:13:26.690 --> 00:13:29.549 And it's funny because Best I Can is a really 00:13:29.549 --> 00:13:33.870 good song. But Jet City Woman is the one that 00:13:33.870 --> 00:13:45.309 gets played all the time on a radio. Other cool 00:13:45.309 --> 00:13:48.289 songs that are on here. The Thin Line, I think, 00:13:48.289 --> 00:13:51.490 is great. Another Rainy Night Without You is 00:13:51.490 --> 00:13:58.009 cool. That was a video as well. Resistance is 00:13:58.009 --> 00:14:01.029 a cool song. Hand on Heart. One and only. And 00:14:01.029 --> 00:14:03.450 Anybody Listening was a single as well. I don't 00:14:03.450 --> 00:14:07.009 know why those aren't listed. Because they made 00:14:07.009 --> 00:14:13.789 videos for those songs. And it looks like there 00:14:13.789 --> 00:14:19.389 was a bonus disc with the 20th anniversary. And 00:14:19.389 --> 00:14:28.679 on the... That's got a live... Okay. Actually, 00:14:29.019 --> 00:14:36.899 there's a 2003. All right, I got it. So the CD 00:14:36.899 --> 00:14:39.200 reissue had three bonus tracks. Last Time in 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:42.539 Paris, which was on the Ford Fairlane soundtrack, 00:14:43.059 --> 00:14:51.259 Scarsboro Fair, and Dirty Little Secret. Last 00:14:51.259 --> 00:14:55.919 Time in Paris is a song that I've played a lot. 00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.240 Over the years. Yeah. Is there anybody listening? 00:14:58.340 --> 00:15:04.539 I, I asked that all the time there, Edgar. All 00:15:04.539 --> 00:15:09.340 right. So moving on to the next album. So I literally 00:15:09.340 --> 00:15:18.539 paid two euros, 48 cents for this, which is less 00:15:18.539 --> 00:15:24.039 than $5 brand new. This is the reissue from a 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:27.169 few years back. It's one of my all -time favorite 00:15:27.169 --> 00:15:29.970 albums. I had this on vinyl, but it's kind of 00:15:29.970 --> 00:15:32.629 scratchy. It was a radio station copy from a 00:15:32.629 --> 00:15:37.129 place where I used to work at. They didn't want 00:15:37.129 --> 00:15:40.129 it. I was more than happy to make it part of 00:15:40.129 --> 00:15:45.490 my collection. Anyway, it is Iron Maiden's Seventh 00:15:45.490 --> 00:15:47.789 Son of a Seventh Son. See, the difference between 00:15:47.789 --> 00:15:50.750 Empire and this is that it was a matte finish, 00:15:50.789 --> 00:15:53.929 so we don't get the ring light shining on it. 00:15:55.849 --> 00:16:00.490 This is great. I mean, they should have made 00:16:00.490 --> 00:16:03.169 a gatefold out of this. There are posters, and 00:16:03.169 --> 00:16:05.190 actually right behind me, there's a damn poster. 00:16:05.370 --> 00:16:13.429 Ooh. Right there. Seven son of a seven son. So 00:16:13.429 --> 00:16:21.250 let me get this opened up here. Here. Is there 00:16:21.250 --> 00:16:24.789 anything in here? No, there is not. Tis not. 00:16:25.610 --> 00:16:30.950 Tis only a flesh wound. All right. Eddie there 00:16:30.950 --> 00:16:34.389 from The Clairvoyant. What would end up being 00:16:34.389 --> 00:16:38.090 used as The Clairvoyant and The Evil That Men 00:16:38.090 --> 00:16:45.029 Do here. So it all kind of tells a story. All 00:16:45.029 --> 00:16:52.990 right. On the back, some mullets and some lyrics. 00:16:54.009 --> 00:16:55.990 That have become a huge part of the soundtrack 00:16:55.990 --> 00:17:01.690 of my life. This is definitely 150 grams here. 00:17:03.850 --> 00:17:07.930 So you have the track listing. And on the back, 00:17:07.950 --> 00:17:14.450 you have that Evil That Men Do graphic in the 00:17:14.450 --> 00:17:21.470 middle there. So cool. Sorry about the ring light, 00:17:21.549 --> 00:17:28.589 folks. It's the best that I can do there. All 00:17:28.589 --> 00:17:33.390 right. So what are the deets on seven son of 00:17:33.390 --> 00:17:48.150 a seven son? For example, there is. No, that's 00:17:48.150 --> 00:17:53.480 rhyming the ancient Mariner. That's Paul D 'Anno. 00:17:53.859 --> 00:17:59.279 And that's from Tattooed Millionaire. Anyway, 00:17:59.539 --> 00:18:03.640 Seven Son of a Seven Son released the 11th of 00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:07.880 April, 1988, recorded between February, February 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:13.640 and March, 1988 at Musicland Studio in Munich, 00:18:13.859 --> 00:18:18.759 Germany. Heavy metal, progressive metal. All 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:23.000 right. 43 minutes, 51. 43 minutes, 51 seconds. 00:18:23.099 --> 00:18:33.339 So this album. Give me a sense of wonder. To 00:18:33.339 --> 00:18:36.500 wonder if I'm free, damn it. The prophet shaved 00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:40.759 off his. I won't say that, but I'll put it on 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:50.789 screen. All right, so. This album goes by quick. 00:18:50.950 --> 00:18:54.369 It's 4351, and there are songs that are long 00:18:54.369 --> 00:18:59.970 as hell on here. The title track, The Prophecy, 00:18:59.990 --> 00:19:05.230 they're both very long. They're both very long. 00:19:06.210 --> 00:19:10.230 So that's what she said. Anyway, so the album 00:19:10.230 --> 00:19:14.470 came out on EMI as well, produced by Martin Birch. 00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.039 sandwiched in between seven somewhere in time 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:27.660 the first 10 years yeah i guess first 10 years 00:19:27.660 --> 00:19:32.299 is honestly those are yeah those are all the 00:19:32.299 --> 00:19:35.220 singles that they released the 12 inch which 00:19:35.220 --> 00:19:40.819 i've shown in the past i've got um behind me 00:19:40.819 --> 00:19:46.779 it's the um women in uniform and sanctuary i 00:19:46.779 --> 00:19:51.529 believe I could be wrong, but anyway, I've got 00:19:51.529 --> 00:19:54.109 in the next room, I've got all the CDs for that. 00:19:55.289 --> 00:19:59.029 Picked that up years ago on eBay. But yeah, the 00:19:59.029 --> 00:20:05.009 next studio album was No Prayer for the Dying. 00:20:05.309 --> 00:20:10.849 And it's funny because, and this goes to show 00:20:10.849 --> 00:20:14.109 how things work. I loved No Prayer for the Dying 00:20:14.109 --> 00:20:18.150 when it came out. I loved Fear of the Dark when 00:20:18.150 --> 00:20:21.029 they came out. And they're both albums that I 00:20:21.029 --> 00:20:23.430 rarely go to now. And if I listen to them, it's 00:20:23.430 --> 00:20:26.890 select tracks. And even those select tracks make 00:20:26.890 --> 00:20:30.369 me say, you know what? Not as good as the first 00:20:30.369 --> 00:20:34.150 few. And I'm not a purist because I think Brave 00:20:34.150 --> 00:20:36.990 New World is one of their greatest albums. And 00:20:36.990 --> 00:20:42.589 I think every album for the most part. I think 00:20:42.589 --> 00:20:47.450 every album for the most part has at least. A 00:20:47.450 --> 00:20:58.650 song or two, which is decent. All right. Next 00:20:58.650 --> 00:21:02.769 up, something that came out this year, and this 00:21:02.769 --> 00:21:06.130 is a special edition. And you might ask yourself, 00:21:06.230 --> 00:21:11.910 why such a big suit? This is green normally. 00:21:12.930 --> 00:21:17.799 So I got a limited edition purple. This is private 00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:27.119 music by Deftones. So even if, let's see if I 00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:32.059 can share screen for a second here. Here we go. 00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:46.759 See, so there is the green cover. Yeah, that 00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:54.839 didn't do much. So that's what the normal cover 00:21:54.839 --> 00:22:03.380 looks like. All right, so let's get back here. 00:22:05.099 --> 00:22:14.220 So does purple. It is not black vinyl. I saw 00:22:14.220 --> 00:22:17.500 this. And there's a local record shop that I 00:22:17.500 --> 00:22:19.920 order most of my stuff from. Hey, look at that. 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:23.720 The insert is green. So actually, this is the 00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:30.160 back cover. I wasn't expecting to enjoy this 00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:36.400 album as much as I have. All right, so this is 00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:40.359 pretty cool. So this is like a giant CD booklet, 00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:54.180 folks. So we've got pictures of these lyrics. 00:22:54.279 --> 00:23:03.279 Yes, they are those lyrics. Some more lyrics 00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:25.799 and cool pictures. Some more cool pictures. The 00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:29.599 back cover of that. So it's like a giant CD booklet. 00:23:30.619 --> 00:23:33.980 It's a cool idea. So this is what the jacket 00:23:33.980 --> 00:23:43.440 looks like. And this is what the vinyl looks 00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:50.930 like. Boom. It's like white marble. Is that appreciated 00:23:50.930 --> 00:24:02.009 on the camera? Yeah, it looks like it. So cool. 00:24:02.210 --> 00:24:07.410 Deftones is a band that... Obviously, I have 00:24:07.410 --> 00:24:13.269 a Deftones playlist. When they're on, they're 00:24:13.269 --> 00:24:15.269 excellent. They're amazing. I've seen them in 00:24:15.269 --> 00:24:17.849 concert and... To me, it's one of the best shows 00:24:17.849 --> 00:24:19.710 that I've seen, even if it was in the middle 00:24:19.710 --> 00:24:23.910 of the day, in the heat in Madrid at Sonosphere 00:24:23.910 --> 00:24:31.190 years ago. They were great. I'd recommend seeing 00:24:31.190 --> 00:24:32.769 them, especially if you're into their music. 00:24:37.390 --> 00:24:39.809 So what are the deets on this album? Released 00:24:39.809 --> 00:24:48.640 August 22nd, 2025. So it was recorded at American 00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:51.839 in North Hollywood, Dead Ant Thelma's in Portland, 00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:55.019 East West in Hollywood, Rock Falcon in Nashville, 00:24:55.299 --> 00:24:58.940 Siena in Nashville. Genre, alternative metal 00:24:58.940 --> 00:25:02.880 shoegaze. I can see the alternative metal shoegaze, 00:25:03.019 --> 00:25:08.359 I guess. 42 minutes, 22 seconds from Reprise 00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:16.240 Warner. Producer, Nick Raskolnik. Nick Raskolinitz. 00:25:16.740 --> 00:25:19.900 I can't pronounce his name today. Raskolinix. 00:25:20.140 --> 00:25:23.279 There you go. Okay. I wonder how it's pronounced 00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:26.799 in Polish. I believe it's a Polish last name. 00:25:27.500 --> 00:25:31.140 So singles are My Mind is a Mountain, which came 00:25:31.140 --> 00:25:34.220 out in July 10th, 2025, and Milk of Madonna, 00:25:34.500 --> 00:25:40.500 August 8th, 2025. All lyrics by Chino Moreno. 00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:46.230 Chino Moreno. All music composed by Deftones, 00:25:46.410 --> 00:25:52.549 Abe Cunningham, Moreno, Frank Delgado, Fred Sablan, 00:25:52.690 --> 00:25:58.809 and Stephen Carpenter. Let's see, all songs are 00:25:58.809 --> 00:26:02.890 stylized in all lowercase except track six, which 00:26:02.890 --> 00:26:08.710 is stylized as C, lowercase C, capital X, lowercase 00:26:08.710 --> 00:26:16.299 Z. I don't know what that symbol is called in 00:26:16.299 --> 00:26:22.980 English. But cool. You guys will have to see. 00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:24.920 Well, actually, if you've checked out the episode 00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:27.680 that I've done with Mark Striegel on Talking 00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:32.740 Metal, it was either Talking Metal or his Patreon 00:26:32.740 --> 00:26:34.720 where I talk about some of the albums that I 00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:36.279 enjoyed this year. And this is one of the albums 00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:41.799 that I talked about. So hope I didn't spoil it 00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:47.460 for you. All right. So let's take a trip back. 00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:56.140 The next album. I was after this. I was looking 00:26:56.140 --> 00:26:58.259 to purchase it in the U .S. and I just could 00:26:58.259 --> 00:27:01.039 not get the right price. Either that or I couldn't 00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:04.799 find it or it cost way too much. So this album 00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:11.289 came out February 17th, 1984. So next month, 00:27:11.289 --> 00:27:21.210 this album will be what? 42 years old. Am I doing 00:27:21.210 --> 00:27:23.130 the math correctly there? Yeah, I believe so. 00:27:24.450 --> 00:27:34.670 Wait. Wait. Yes, I'm actually doing the math. 00:27:35.690 --> 00:27:43.759 42 years. I was correct. Oh, where am I? Where 00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:54.599 do I need to be? 42 years. I got it right. Simple 00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:59.740 math for simple folks. All right. Recorded at 00:27:59.740 --> 00:28:03.700 Village Recorder Los Angeles and Sound City Los 00:28:03.700 --> 00:28:06.680 Angeles. Genre heavy metal, glam metal. Length 00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:10.619 36 minutes, 41 seconds on Atlantic produced by 00:28:10.619 --> 00:28:22.220 Bo Hill. It is out of the cellar. Ah, you can, 00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:25.460 you can see it, how it's changing colors from 00:28:25.460 --> 00:28:29.619 the yellow smoke to the blue smoke. See that? 00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:35.529 All right. So this is the, um, 40th anniversary, 00:28:35.849 --> 00:28:40.009 which came out two years ago. It also includes 00:28:40.009 --> 00:28:44.950 a lintacular cover on red and black splatter 00:28:44.950 --> 00:28:49.170 vinyl, plus neon orange seven inch vinyl with 00:28:49.170 --> 00:28:52.269 the uncensored unreleased track, not uncensored 00:28:52.269 --> 00:28:56.369 reach for the sky from the 1983 out of this, 00:28:56.369 --> 00:29:02.630 out of the cellar sessions. All right. So let's 00:29:02.630 --> 00:29:08.769 take a look at all of this. So lenticular cover, 00:29:09.029 --> 00:29:15.190 back cover. Made in the Czech Republic. So is 00:29:15.190 --> 00:29:20.470 my car. Right out of the cellar. Nothing on the 00:29:20.470 --> 00:29:25.349 back, nothing up my sleeve. Oh, this is cool. 00:29:26.390 --> 00:29:35.890 Wow. This is really nice. Noice! Nice. So it 00:29:35.890 --> 00:29:40.549 looks really red, red. Put it down. Yeah, I guess 00:29:40.549 --> 00:29:42.569 it does. But holding it up to the light here, 00:29:42.710 --> 00:29:46.170 seeing through it, it looks like a magenta color. 00:29:54.089 --> 00:29:58.250 All right, cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, 00:29:58.349 --> 00:30:06.000 cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Uh -oh. Edgar is 00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:08.920 trying to speak Spanish. Are you messing with 00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:14.640 me, Edgar? Do you know Spanish? All right, so 00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:17.180 the Reach for the Sky single, which also comes 00:30:17.180 --> 00:30:29.740 in there. So this was written by Stephen Piercy, 00:30:29.779 --> 00:30:35.329 Robin Crosby, and Mark. Torian, best known for 00:30:35.329 --> 00:30:43.309 bullet boys, obviously. All right, so we take 00:30:43.309 --> 00:30:49.970 this out. It is really 7 -inch. Yeah, this is 00:30:49.970 --> 00:30:53.809 really neon orange. So this is a new color to 00:30:53.809 --> 00:31:00.779 my collection in vinyl. So it's Reach for the 00:31:00.779 --> 00:31:09.980 Sky on both sides. Reach for the Sky was also 00:31:09.980 --> 00:31:12.940 the name of an album that they released a few 00:31:12.940 --> 00:31:16.220 years later. An album that outside of the song 00:31:16.220 --> 00:31:20.059 Chain Reaction, I'm not really a fan of. I never 00:31:20.059 --> 00:31:22.599 liked the song I Want a Woman. I never liked 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:25.140 the song Way Cool Junior, which I think is on 00:31:25.140 --> 00:31:32.089 that as well. When did Reach for the Sky come 00:31:32.089 --> 00:31:54.089 out? Yeah, 88. All right. And Way Cool Jr. and 00:31:54.089 --> 00:31:58.730 I Want a Woman were the two singles. This was 00:31:58.730 --> 00:32:01.430 them being just way too, Commercial for me, this 00:32:01.430 --> 00:32:06.309 was them becoming. Like copying what other bands 00:32:06.309 --> 00:32:08.890 are doing, in my opinion, they didn't need to 00:32:08.890 --> 00:32:13.329 do that. I thought their first two albums were 00:32:13.329 --> 00:32:16.170 great. I know the third one didn't chart as high 00:32:16.170 --> 00:32:26.450 as they would have wanted it to. But, yeah, so 00:32:26.450 --> 00:32:32.619 let's see the deets here. So the singles are 00:32:32.619 --> 00:32:37.220 Round and Round, February 84, Back for More, 00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:41.259 just says 84, Wanted Man, September 84, Lack 00:32:41.259 --> 00:32:45.740 of Communication, November of 84. Such a monster 00:32:45.740 --> 00:32:53.859 album, man. What else is on here? What else is 00:32:53.859 --> 00:32:56.900 on here that I listened to a lot? The Morning 00:32:56.900 --> 00:33:06.160 After. I love that song. It's just amazing. So 00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:12.500 that's Tony Katayn on the cover. Wow. So she 00:33:12.500 --> 00:33:16.079 was the girlfriend of Robin Crosby at the time. 00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:34.000 So let's see. Wanted Man. Why is it that outside 00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:37.819 of lack of communication, all the best songs 00:33:37.819 --> 00:33:41.740 were written by Robin Crosby? Robin Crosby co 00:33:41.740 --> 00:33:49.640 -wrote, out of the 10 songs, there's just one, 00:33:49.819 --> 00:33:59.440 two songs, three songs he didn't co -write. So 00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:02.920 he co -wrote seven songs off of this. That goes 00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:06.900 to show what a monster player he was and what 00:34:06.900 --> 00:34:09.179 a big deal he was to this band because they've 00:34:09.179 --> 00:34:11.579 obviously never been the same since. I really 00:34:11.579 --> 00:34:14.420 love Infestation. I think it's great. It sounds 00:34:14.420 --> 00:34:18.539 great. But I mean, it's missing something. It's 00:34:18.539 --> 00:34:22.840 missing Robin. I will say that Stephen's last 00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:27.300 two solo albums are great. And Eric Farentinos 00:34:27.300 --> 00:34:30.360 does a great job of doing that whole Robin Crosby 00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:35.519 style playing. I mean, the song 10 miles wide 00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:40.260 to me is the best song, the best rat song that 00:34:40.260 --> 00:34:43.079 rat never recorded. I can listen to that song 00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:48.199 over and over. I absolutely love that song. So 00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:55.869 up next. Well, It's the next Rad album, Invasion 00:34:55.869 --> 00:34:58.929 of Your Privacy. Probably the only two that I'll 00:34:58.929 --> 00:35:01.150 ever own on vinyl because I love both of these. 00:35:01.389 --> 00:35:04.289 So these are recorded. This was released on May 00:35:04.289 --> 00:35:11.030 30th, 1985. Recorded in 85. Was recorded at Rumbo 00:35:11.030 --> 00:35:14.070 Studios in Los Angeles, which is where Appetite 00:35:14.070 --> 00:35:17.190 for Destruction was later recorded as well. And 00:35:17.190 --> 00:35:20.550 Atlantic in New York. Genre is heavy metal and 00:35:20.550 --> 00:35:24.639 glam metal. Length is 30. 36 minutes, 2 seconds, 00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:28.679 out on Atlantic. Produced by Bo Hill, once again. 00:35:30.420 --> 00:35:34.880 Singles, Lay It Down, June 1985. You're In Love, 00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:39.420 September 85. What You Give Is What You Get was 00:35:39.420 --> 00:35:45.340 released in Japan on January 25th, 1986. So, 00:35:45.420 --> 00:35:48.219 this went two times platinum, so it sold 2 million 00:35:48.219 --> 00:35:54.949 copies. The first time... Ah, Loudwire ranked 00:35:54.949 --> 00:35:57.849 it the eighth best metal album of 1985. There 00:35:57.849 --> 00:36:02.730 you go. The first time that I ever got to listen 00:36:02.730 --> 00:36:07.789 to this was because it was at my public library. 00:36:09.650 --> 00:36:14.010 So I took it out of the library and I recorded 00:36:14.010 --> 00:36:16.710 it on cassette. That's what we did back then, 00:36:16.750 --> 00:36:22.900 folks. We'd have streaming. But we would record 00:36:22.900 --> 00:36:27.800 stuff on cassette. Listen, I was, what, 85? How 00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:32.460 old was I? 12? 12 years old when this came out? 00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:36.960 So there certainly wasn't a cash flow. And whatever 00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:42.920 money I had, you know, I was probably spending 00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:47.119 it. I had 12 comic books, some toys still, I'm 00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:49.179 not going to lie to you, but definitely music. 00:36:52.639 --> 00:37:04.639 Front cover. That is Marianne Gravate. I don't 00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:07.099 know how to pronounce that correctly. She's also 00:37:07.099 --> 00:37:11.500 in the Lay It Down video. So this is the band. 00:37:12.940 --> 00:37:16.480 This is interesting because Robin King Crosby 00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:20.179 with a King V, with so many people that frowned 00:37:20.179 --> 00:37:23.570 upon Rat and... Stuff that they play have since 00:37:23.570 --> 00:37:28.349 played King V's. So yeah, you've got people in 00:37:28.349 --> 00:37:30.590 Slayer, people in Megadeth, so on and so forth. 00:37:31.590 --> 00:37:35.929 But anyway, all right. So let's look at the inside. 00:37:36.010 --> 00:37:41.170 Let's look at the guts. So this isn't really 00:37:41.170 --> 00:37:44.269 much better than out of the cellar. So we're 00:37:44.269 --> 00:37:47.610 getting just the rat logo. There's some info 00:37:47.610 --> 00:37:51.809 on production. We belongs to some of the management 00:37:51.809 --> 00:37:57.230 stuff, endorsements, concert bookings, band security, 00:37:57.570 --> 00:38:03.750 members of the crew, fan club and merch. Wow. 00:38:03.929 --> 00:38:08.130 I wonder if we write to that, if people will 00:38:08.130 --> 00:38:14.230 still respond. All right. So let's look at the 00:38:14.230 --> 00:38:22.070 vinyl itself. And if you guys are listening to 00:38:22.070 --> 00:38:26.250 the audio version, obviously this is an episode 00:38:26.250 --> 00:38:30.610 where you want to check out the video. The vinyl 00:38:30.610 --> 00:38:37.030 is not coming out. It's stuck there. This happened 00:38:37.030 --> 00:38:47.510 to me with the Megadeth P cells. Static is keeping 00:38:47.510 --> 00:38:50.630 it. coming out there we go help loosen it wow 00:38:50.630 --> 00:38:53.469 this is cool i don't have any vinyl like this 00:38:53.469 --> 00:39:22.739 so that is really neat Nothing else in there. 00:39:28.300 --> 00:39:31.639 Cool. So last vinyl that I'm going to be showing 00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:39.940 off here. Someone else told me today that they 00:39:39.940 --> 00:39:42.880 picked this up on vinyl after a recent interview 00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:47.219 that I did with Wolf Tooth. That is episode at 00:39:47.219 --> 00:39:55.719 this point. This is. 4 .36 when it comes out 00:39:55.719 --> 00:40:06.420 on audio. So let's see. 4 .33 was Wolf Tooth, 00:40:06.420 --> 00:40:12.360 I believe. Okay. So Wolf Tooth's Wizard's Light 00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:21.159 on ripple. Heavy, freaky, fuzzy. Wolf Tooth might 00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:24.460 just be the best pure -blooded heavy metal band 00:40:24.460 --> 00:40:29.239 in the world right now. Louder Magazine. This 00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:32.260 album is really good. So it's got everything. 00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:35.980 And it's funny because the PR information says 00:40:35.980 --> 00:40:40.619 that they're, you know, a doom band, a stoner 00:40:40.619 --> 00:40:43.320 band. The band Flat Out told us we're a heavy 00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:47.719 metal band. All right. So this ship to me from 00:40:47.719 --> 00:40:58.789 Lithuania. Took about 10 days to get to me. So 00:40:58.789 --> 00:41:02.570 it is like gold, I guess you would say this is. 00:41:08.110 --> 00:41:11.230 So about the same insert on both sides. You got 00:41:11.230 --> 00:41:23.889 side A, side B. This is Ripple Music. So what 00:41:23.889 --> 00:41:27.389 about this album? It was released in November 00:41:27.389 --> 00:41:33.809 21st, 2025. 300 copies were made, so I got one 00:41:33.809 --> 00:41:36.829 of 300. Mike Jones, who's a patron, also got 00:41:36.829 --> 00:41:40.889 another one. All right, so there's an insert 00:41:40.889 --> 00:41:49.329 with the band and some lyrics. Cool, cool, cool, 00:41:49.429 --> 00:41:56.480 cool, cool, cool, cool. All right. So that's 00:41:56.480 --> 00:42:05.360 the back cover there. This is awesome. Definitely 00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:09.699 an album worth checking out. So two albums from 00:42:09.699 --> 00:42:20.639 2025. Both the... Ooh, the Deftones and the Wolf 00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:23.460 Tooth. And then you've got the two Rat albums, 00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:28.420 The Iron Maiden and Queensryche. So well -rounded. 00:42:29.079 --> 00:42:36.900 Folks, I listen to all types of music. And this 00:42:36.900 --> 00:42:41.780 just goes to show. Don't care the genre. So as 00:42:41.780 --> 00:42:44.059 long as it's good, so long as it speaks to me, 00:42:44.099 --> 00:42:50.699 so long as it says something to me. It's all 00:42:50.699 --> 00:42:54.400 that matters, quite frankly. And if you don't 00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:58.760 get it, that's fine. I like what I like. And 00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:02.480 you like what you like. That's cool, too. I got 00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:12.599 no problem with that, folks. Yeah, so, Tony, 00:43:12.900 --> 00:43:15.599 are you still there? Edgar, are you still there? 00:43:15.780 --> 00:43:19.199 I haven't heard either one of you in a second. 00:43:20.980 --> 00:43:24.440 So, what we're going to be doing for the balance 00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:27.340 of the month, we've got the December albums that 00:43:27.340 --> 00:43:31.420 we're going to talk about. We will be doing the 00:43:31.420 --> 00:43:35.840 2025 albums as well, favorites. If you want to 00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:38.860 vote on that, send me your 10 favorite albums 00:43:38.860 --> 00:43:44.519 from 2025 to SignalsFromMars at SignalsFromMars 00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:47.400 .com.

And I've also got an interview coming 00:43:51.429 --> 00:43:56.170 up next week with Nathan Saad from the band Struck 00:43:56.170 --> 00:44:00.030 a Nerve. He's also in the band Shrapnel, a band 00:44:00.030 --> 00:44:02.730 that I found out about thanks to Ed Ferguson 00:44:02.730 --> 00:44:08.550 and Jeremy Weltman when doing the recent October, 00:44:08.630 --> 00:44:11.150 November albums review. That's why that's so 00:44:11.150 --> 00:44:13.550 important for us to do that and talk about new 00:44:13.550 --> 00:44:16.449 music because you get turned on to things as 00:44:16.449 --> 00:44:20.599 they come out. And it helps keep this genre alive. 00:44:21.380 --> 00:44:26.420 So I've also got some feelers out for some more 00:44:26.420 --> 00:44:31.880 interviews. I got my VMR podcast, Victor M.

Starting to get a slowly but 00:48:58.139 --> 00:49:02.199 surely a decent following. The shorts. have meant 00:49:02.199 --> 00:49:04.760 a lot. If you're following the shorts, if you're 00:49:04.760 --> 00:49:08.199 watching them, thank you, because that's definitely 00:49:08.199 --> 00:49:11.539 helping things out. As of this week, I've got 00:49:11.539 --> 00:49:17.000 275 ,000 views of shorts on YouTube. There are 00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:19.739 things that I'm posting on Instagram and TikTok 00:49:19.739 --> 00:49:25.639 as well as YouTube. Being that it was the third 00:49:25.639 --> 00:49:29.619 anniversary of Bob Nalbandian's passing, I've... 00:49:29.960 --> 00:49:33.780 Taken the only episode that I believe I have 00:49:33.780 --> 00:49:36.239 on video that I recorded with him. I have to 00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:39.559 dig into some of my video files. I may have some 00:49:39.559 --> 00:49:44.199 other videos with Bob somewhere else. I need 00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:49.480 to check that out. But because the third anniversary 00:49:49.480 --> 00:49:52.619 of his passing, which has gone by way too fast, 00:49:52.860 --> 00:50:01.230 I wanted to honor him. And so I've created shorts 00:50:01.230 --> 00:50:04.489 out of the, an episode that we did back in 2021. 00:50:05.630 --> 00:50:10.829 Also, I've done that with some John Bush with 00:50:10.829 --> 00:50:13.510 a John Bush interview. I just want to see how 00:50:13.510 --> 00:50:16.050 that performs, you know, because I've got a bunch 00:50:16.050 --> 00:50:20.449 of older episodes where the long form is there, 00:50:20.590 --> 00:50:25.929 but the shorts are definitely. helping draw people 00:50:25.929 --> 00:50:28.650 in. So why not? I've got the content. If it helps 00:50:28.650 --> 00:50:33.150 draw people to the podcast, so be it. And I'm 00:50:33.150 --> 00:50:36.110 changing and updating things as things go on. 00:50:36.289 --> 00:50:38.610 So even if there are certain things that I'm 00:50:38.610 --> 00:50:41.849 using now that aren't working, maybe in the future 00:50:41.849 --> 00:50:46.250 there will be something else. Anyway, guys, I 00:50:46.250 --> 00:50:49.309 want to thank you so much for joining me. Tony 00:50:49.309 --> 00:50:53.489 Espin. Edgar Winterson also, anyone else that 00:50:53.489 --> 00:50:59.110 watches the show, the replay, or listens to the 00:50:59.110 --> 00:51:01.150 audio version, thank you as well. Thank you for 00:51:01.150 --> 00:51:03.289 sharing the episodes, liking them, so on and 00:51:03.289 --> 00:51:07.289 so forth.
