Letchen Grey

A long lost 80s rock/metal classic! Anyone remember Sexist from the old Metal Massacre release? Same members. Only ever released on vinyl. I'd love to see this album re-released on CD at some point. That MySpace page just popped up two days ago. It's about time. Killer stuff.

I seem to remember having a cassette of that album back in the day.....(if that's possible)....my memory is not always reliable...

Dig it out!

I jettisoned my cassette collection years ago...I may still have a dozen or so bopping around in the basement (mostly my wife's)

maybe if they recently put a myspace up...a re-issue is in the works....

I already asked. This was the response:

Band members are involved with this page. No plans on a remastered CD right now but if we can generate enough interest it is probable. We do have Party Politics on CD from the original masters. I'll find out about selling a CDR Copy

I'm not really down with a CDR copy. I can find that. I'd like a re-release. Yo Stormspell!

So things changed. This EP was just reissued on CD (first time ever)!

I just ordered a copy. I can't wait! Every time I find myself on Vibrations of Doom I listen to this album. Everyone should check this album out!

Bump.

Looks like something I would like. I'll try to remember to check them out at home, as Myspace is blocked here at work.

Never heard of'em, but I love a good ol'fashioned cheesy 80s hot chick album cover.

Give the EP a listen. Do you remember the band Sexist from one of the early Metal Massacre comps? Some members from that band formed Letchen Grey. This was their only release.

We were discussing them on metalreviews.com like two years ago and Robbie Blackmore showed up on the forum and gave us a history lesson. I guess he did a search online for the band name and the forum post came up. Kind of cool. I've been hoping for a reissue since.

Sexist? The name rings a bell, my bro had a bunch of the old Metal Massacre comps on vinyl back in the day so I must've heard'em at some point. It's been years tho.

I'll check out this Letchen stuff @ home tonite... no speakers on this PC....

I would have already stabbed up my office if I didn't have speakers on my work PC.

Which is why I have a CD boom box on my desk. Anything to keep the homicidal urges at bay.

I need to get this.
