LP Blue Murder – Nothin’ But Trouble (Colored Vinyl, Blue, Gatefold LP Jacket, Remastered)

This 1993 album has only been out on vinyl in South Korea, and that release squeezed this 55-minute-plus record on to a single disc, which is just plain getting away with (ahem) murder! So fans of this band have been screaming (sorry, can’t resist) Blue Murder for the release of Nothin’ but Trouble in proper 2-LP fashion, which we have pressed in blue with black cat swirl vinyl in honor of the unfortunate feline in the clutches of the little menace on the front cover. This is another one of those great, early ’90s metal albums that got lost in the grunge shuffle, and it’s more melodic than most; band leader and songwriter John Sykes (Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, Tygers of Pan Tang) knew what he was doing. Also boasts appearances from our old friend Kelly Keeling of Baton Rouge fame, and the venerable Carmen Appice on drums. “We All Fall Down” was the single, but don’t miss their great cover of the Small Faces’ “Itchycoo Park!” Mastered for vinyl by Mike Milchner of Sonic Vision, and housed inside a gatefold jacket with lyrics.
