Topic: New Chords Postings
In 1983 Vancouver's Payola$ followed up their commercially successful album No Stranger To Danger with their fourth studio release, Hammer On A Drum. The album produced four singles, one of which was "Christmas Is Coming". Backed with "I'll Find Another (Who Can Do It Right)", another single from the album, the "Christmas Is Coming" 12 inch single (pictured at right) was released on seasonally festive green vinyl. In 1995, the song was also included on a rock/new wave Christmas compilation CD entitled The Edge Of Christmas, alongside seasonal offerings from such other artists as the Pretenders, Kate Bush, the Ramones and Queen.

Drawn from the Stampeders' 1976 album Hit the Road, the single "Playin' In the Band" reached #21 on the RPM chart in Canada, with the album rising to #15. The album's title was derived from the band's highly successful single of the previous year, "Hit the Road Jack" (from the album Steamin'). Other singles from Hit the Road were "Sweet Love Bandit" and "San Diego". "Playin' In the Band" charted the highest of the album's three singles.
Intro to "The Messenger", a live version from the House Of Yes: Live From House Of Blues CD/DVD (2000). Recorded Hallowe'en night 1999 at the House Of Blues in Las Vegas. The song is originally from the 1999 studio album The Ladder.
"The Free Electric Band" comes from Albert Hammond's 1973 album of the same name (pictured at right). The song was apparently a pretty big hit back in '73, reaching #48 in the US and #19 in the UK. But I've never heard it played on the radio myself, not back then or any time since, so I guess it didn't get airplay around here.
However, I discovered the tune due to its inclusion on a K-Tel record (also from 1973) I had called Fantastic. K-Tel records will always be part of music nostalgia for people of my generation. Remember the TV commercials? "A great new album from K-Tel!" Here's the TV spot for Fantastic:
