141. Blue Murder / Blue Murder. 1989. 1.5/5.

Well, this was probably one of those mistakes that we have all made when buying albums, but it was a mistake that was well researched...

This was released in 1989, at a time that I was trying to expand my music horizons and collection, especially given I had full time employment for the first time, and money to throw away.
John Sykes had formed the band, having just completed his commitments with Whitesnake, and included Tony Franklin and Carmine Appice who were both respected musicians in their field.

*cough*

OK, it's not all bad. Certainly the first few songs sound like Whitesnake, but that's not really enough to hold up throughout the album. There is not a lot of momentum in any of the songs, and it struggles to hold your attention until the end.

Rating : Some gambles pay off, and others don't. This $29.95 certainly didn't come home a winner. 1.5/5
