Cobra : First Strike

[montyollie]

Well, I finally got Cobra's "First Strike" in the mail. I got it from Sweden on eBay! $40 but anyway.

I'm listening to it right now, and I must say, I don't think I like it. I know I love Jimi's voice and I loved Empires, but it's kind of proof positive that Sullivan/Peterik had a very distinctive sound that I really really love combined with Jimi's crystal vocals.

I'm about halfway into the album and I have some housework to do, so I'll give it a full listen. I know sometimes stuff does grow on me. But so far, it's not thrilling me.

Use to have it on tape. Good recording. Just got cobra IN THE STUDIO IN MEMPHIS. it is pretty good too. Jimi and the band seemed to have the right vibe going.-ERIC

I just uploaded the whole album to MegaUpload for you guys. Enjoy!

always like the song I've been a Fool Before and What Love is.

The Rockers were very average.

Its worth getting,

Of course I spent .50 cents for the record though

I drove throught Memphis last January on a cross country road trip, and it stands out as having the WORST drivers I encountered in the US. I am a pretty patient driver but I lost my temper a couple of times due to the absolute disregard of the rules of the road by seemingly *every other driver*. LOL

That's what I remember about Memphis -- Graceland, Beale St. and those infernal drivers!! Oh yeah, and my GPS unit lost her ever-lovin' mind in Memphis. Couldn't navigate out of a wet paper bag.

If you have seven minutes to kill and are hard up for something to do, here's a home movie I made while in Memphis... http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZxYWuMiZeDo -- brace yourself, it's pretty amateur. I'm Jo, my travelling companion is Tracey.

240 in Memphis has been under construction for 10 years. there has been some changes that would throw GPS off. Driving this morning and a driver comes over into my lane, no blinkers, I was blowing the horn too. Good thing there was no car in the lane to my left or there would have been a wreck. Hate driving into Memphis-ERIC

[montyollie]

Abitaman, do you happen to have the titles of the tracks?

No I don't. Got them in trade a year or so ago. The guy didn't have a list-ERIC
