Topic: New Tab Postings
Just over a year ago I did the Intro of this song for the Riffs section of the site; now comes the full tab. "Just One More Time" was the second single, after "Celebration", from the Headpins' second album, Line Of Fire (1983). The album followed in the footsteps of its predecessor Turn It Loud (1982) in giving the band its second consecutive platinum album in Canada.
I ran into some problems in part of the guitar solo. I have no means of slowing recordings down, so the really quick note runs become a bit of a blur. Ultimately, there were four bars that I had to leave out. (And I suspect this same problem will crop up in the next tab.) But most of it I was able to hear clearly enough. Just as a side note, in the video version of the song, the guitar solo is edited down to just the first sixteen bars, instead of having the full 32.

Also, the lack of images (i.e. album covers) on the blog right now is due to how badly my computer is working. I can't save or upload images in proper format. Hopefully, a little computer servicing will be done soon, but at the moment I have to just be glad I can get the tabs uploaded at all!

I guess you're just asking for it when you think a tab is going to be quick and easy.
Formed in Oakville, Ontario in the mid-1970's, Saga was built around the core of the final line-up of the band Fludd. Throughout much of the band's long career, they've enjoyed greater success in Europe than they have in North America. This was true right from their early years; their synth/guitar/electric drums-driven progressive rock style was embraced overseas, while going largely unnoticed in the US. They enjoyed modest success at home in Canada with the singles "It's Time", "See Them Smile", and "Don't Be Late".
It looks like things are getting back to normal here. I was able to re-post the GS tab page, images will upload again, and I'm getting daily stats again. The only thing that still isn't working is that I'm not getting e-mail notices about blog comments. So I just discovered one was left about four days ago that I didn't know about. I'll answer that soon.
Everything about Girlschool's most recent album, Legacy (2008) -- from the thematic concept on through to the cover art -- reflects the disc's dual personality. Legacy simultaneously celebrates and mourns. The album celebrates the band's 30th Anniversary (and there are guest appearances aplenty, as a who's who of the music industry help the band mark the occasion) while also serving as a tribute to original Girlschool guitarist Kelly Johnson, who passed away in 2007.
The song "Alana Loves Me" comes from Kim Mitchell's Shakin' Like A Human Being (1986) album, a hit machine that also produced the singles "Patio Lanterns", "Easy To Tame", "That's The Hold", and "Get Lucky (Boys & Girls)". It was his most commercially successful album, earning him Juno awards for Album Of the Year and Male Vocalist Of the Year. And speaking of good male vocalists, "Alana Loves Me" features another of those fantastic backing vocal performances by Peter Fredette, impressive here just as he is on "All We Are" (from the Akimbo Alogo album).
