paul sheppard bought this album in 1980 I think it was, still have it! Totally dug the clean guitar tone and precise guitar harmonies. ETF was definitely one of my faves from the NWOBHM.

Paul, how did you get such good guitar tones on this? Especially the harmony parts, they blend together in a very distinct way you only hear on old records, it's a sort of more natural sound whereas today guitar harmony parts sound more "processed" and artificial, if that makes sense.

@@ObscureStuff420 Wow! I'm still alive and it was over 40 years ago now< grin>. The track was recorded at a local studio and just a basic setup I recall e.g something like a Sure SM57 in front of the 4X12 cabs using Marshall full valve 100w Master Volume amps. Then the engineer must have used a bit of compression and perhaps a touch of reverb. I know what you mean about a lot of modern sounds they are sometimes too perfect. My Guitar was an Antoria Firebird with Ibanez Super 70 and super 80 Humbuckers. I still have the guitar but it's bits somewhere but I think it's recoverable :) PS Hal Nico is just a KZfaq alias for my present homemade music stuff.

@@halnicosvideos8961 very cool info. Guess the song was named after your guitar then? It's a great tune. I like the way it breaks the mold of most songs and begins with a long instrumental section that draws you in . Ill check out your channel 🤘

This song is so fucking brutal 🤘 I fumbled through the annals of rock history for my N.W.O.B.H.M. post on my Facebook page Hares Pit. This, and "Turn your Head Around" by Tank are seriously addicting.

Recorded at Willerby's Fair View Recording Studio. I believe back when it was only an 8 Track. Wow. Roy Neave as Engineer and of course Keith Hird the studio owner who started the whole thing locally.

just the name was enough to arouse my interest. I absolutly adore NWOBHM and listened to tons but there is always another band that evades me, this being one.

@TalosIO Just catching up with the ETF stuff on here Doug, great memories of good nights at the ferryboat inn. Last time we chatted was at the Bell Inn on the southbank 7 years ago at a Hull bikers meeting, your throttle cable had broken if i remember correctly lol, also the day of my near fatal accident later on as we headed home. Good days lol, well mostly! Hope you are keeping well.

Who are you To tell Me Which road I should walk upon? In my life For a free to glimpse Then you disappear and you're gone You are my bird of fire You are my one and only word You are my heart desire My firebird My firebird Firebird (3x) Where were you On that lonely night That I decided to end my life Stars and bible black A lonely room And I found the coldness of the night You are my bird of fire You are my one and only word You are my heart desire My firebird My firebird Firebird (3x) You are my bird of fire You are my one and only word You are my heart desire My firebird My firebird Firebird (3x) I had to figure out the lyrics for myself. I've got the album and I'm shocked that none of the songs beside the first song, which is a Beatles cover, have lyrics. What band don't include lyrics in their album?
