The Second One's Metropolis, USA 1980 [no download]





A little bit of the old Karlos Steinblast funky hard rock feel here in this unknown US release, the artist name is Second One, the album is Metropolis.  Obviously not a cheap record, it rarely comes up for sale and must exist in the wild in endangered, critically perhaps, numbers, and deserves our support as such a rare species under the constant threat of extinction...

The recording has been a little cheaply or badly done, reminiscent of the first Gold record, with its poverty in stereo sound.  But the competence of the guitarists is undeniable.  Robert Welsh's If You Need Time, reminding me a bit of the early Red Hot Chili Peppers:





The diatonic pop-like Destiny, by Scott Nelson:
