More from the coulda shoulda made it big section
with Heavy Pettin.
Back to 1983 and supporting KISS in October,
out with OZZY in November.
So they were getting excellent exposure live and
playing their album in front of new fans.
It's all consigned to Rock history now.
Who should be in Newcastle pressing
play and record?
Only EDDIE!
I was there at hammersmith to see ozzy,spent some time before with kid from Manchester who was down to support heavy pettin,he was dressed like joe Elliot from def leppard,so theres the clue heavy pettin were so like def leppard but nothing like so good they were let down by having a poor singer,ozzy was a bit off as well but jake.e.lee saved the day by being shit hot on the guitar,happy days from hammersmith,I went there a when I was younger.

ReplyDeleteIf not permitted, please delete - just wanted you to know it's out there!
Cheers and keep on rocking!
Yep looks like it's still available.
DeleteI've got the cd & vinyl with the original crappy cover.
I don't know if there's been a band that changed so much musically
over three albums?
