'Fallen Angels' were a 1983 collaboration between Knox of The Vibrators and members of Hanoi Rocks (including Michael Monroe on sax soloing). In 1983 Hanoi Rocks were newly signed to CBS Records, and tipped as the next big thing. They found themselves in London with a few weeks off. Meanwhile, Knox from The Vibrators had some great new songs but was kicking his heels whilst his band was taking a break. As they shared a manager, the two problems were easily solved -- record an album together! The pair-up worked wonderfully. The Rocks were long-time fans of the Vibrators, and Knox's songs and style always had an element of the glam-trash rock roots of the Stooges, Velvet Underground and NY Dolls.
This is a Hanoi Rocks L.P in reality, since Razzle on drums, Sam Yaffa , Nasty Suicide on the guitar, are all participating here (Knox on the lead guitar and vocals). It is a cool album that became highly collectable and shout after, since it came out in a very small London record company, that didn’t promote it and distribute it properly.
Knox from THE VIBRATORS backed up by HANOI ROCKS' rhythm section... sounds perfect! Michael Monroe and Andy McCoy make guest appearances billed as The Cosmic Ted and The Flashing Psychedelic Kid. And here's something I never thought I'd state: the sax solos are the highlight of the record (courtesy of Michael Monroe).
----------------------------------------------------------
Good stuff. Sounds a bit like Hanoi Rocks (duh!). Excellent side project by the less visible members of HANOI ROCKS and The Vibrators.
----------------------------------------------------------
Typical Hanoi side-project that falls into their regular category of New York Dolls-fuelled sleaze rock. So if you liked Cheap & Nasty, which I can't imagine why any Hanoi fan wouldn't, you'll enjoy this too.
Amphetamine Blue is a cover from Knox's other band, The Vibrators, both versions are decent, this one gaining from Hanoi's poppier style...

Break down of P&P costs:
1) Postage
2) packaging
3) Money to go to the post office and return from the post office.(Sometimes, this actually costs more than postage).
Therefore: dispatching an item costs more than what the postage label indicates. Please keep that in mind.
Also keep in mind that when a seller has to deciding the P&P price, he (or she) doesn't know exactly how heavy the package will be and where potential byers are located. If the buyer is from a nearby country, the P&P might look "expensive". If the buyer is from a faraway country, it might look "cheap". Bottom line is: please don't complain about the P&P price at any stage (especially NOT when you leave your feedback for the item that you bought), as I am trying to guess what price to charge for P&P and it is impossible to get it "exactly right". If you are a Scrooge and feel like arguing, or creating a problem for tinny amounts of money, just don't buy from me. I don't want to complicate things and I don't like Scrooges.
