One track I have by Russ Ballard that I love is "The Making Of The Fire Still Burns" which breaks down the track into its component parts with a voiceover by the late English DJ Alan Freeman who narrates how the song is constructed, totally unique!

Many thanks for all the Russ Ballard albums, especially the earlier material which I have never come across before.

What an awesome upload! I used to love the song "On the Rebound" back when I was in high school, but I never knew who did it. With a little internet research, I found out that it's on "Barnet Dogs," so now I've downloaded it and I can enjoy one of my favorite classic songs again! THANK YOU!

Was it the original Russ Ballard version, or the Uriah Heep cover version? The Uriah Heep one was actually played on the radio a little bit during the late 80s.

Thanks again S.L.s. I actually had it correct with first few posts I think but get in a hot rush at work sometimes to do the posts (without interfering with my job and the good graces of our President--my old buddy) so very grateful for your continuing corrections...as you know some of the stuff you catch I don't post because I'm too embarrassed....LOL
