Hair And Glam Metal
r/hairmetal
I was seeking out the original release of this album because a number of the tracks are different recordings from the more well-known Capitol Records release. I sent the tape to a contact to digitize(as I could not find this version of the album anywhere online save for "Shake Me" the original version of "She Shakes Me" on Youtube), so you can check it out here in both FLAC and MP3 formats:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RUBrocaWbb_CUp42djtkWvlQNfbwBYqv The Telegraph Records version was only issued on Cassette(which is where my rip comes from)and Vinyl and was only ever released on CD in 2005 in Japan (though that release is quite rare and expensive).
As mentioned above "She Shakes Me" is instead called "Shake Me" has a totally different intro and more raw production and a slightly different structure with slightly altered lyrics, overall I actually prefer this version over the Capitol Records one. Also "Run Away" is an entirely different recording with the keyboards sounding different, Jack's vocals being rougher and the song having a slower pace and this is easily the best version of the song and i've got no idea why some of the songs were changed for the final release. The rest of the songs have the same recordings though mixed differently with more raw production. Definitely an interesting listen, it's a real shame this version isn't on streaming.
[heroin addict] The job (heroin addiction) is done (heroin), I go out (from heroin to cocaine)
Another boring (heroin) day (heroin)(from heroin by day to cocaine at night)(heroin cocaine cycle)
I leave (cocaine) it all (cocaine) behind me (heroin) now (cocaine)(from heroin to cocaine)
So many (cocaine) worlds (cocaine high) away (cocaine)(from heroin to cocaine)
[heroin addict] I meet my girl (cocaine habit), she's dressed to kill (to the 9's = cocaine syringe)
And all (cocaine) we gonna do (shoot)
Is walk (shoot up) around (9PM-12AM) to catch (12AM-3AM) the thrill (cocaine high)
On streets we call the zoo (12AM-3AM zigzag heroin during cocaine high)
