GIRL / RARE ALBUMS / SHEER GREED

SHEER GREED (ex Girl, feat Phil Collen) – Sublime To The Ridiculous [Japan Edition]

As requested, here’s ”Sublime To The Ridiculous‘, the only studio album released by SHEER GREED, a short-lived British hard rock band formed in 1992 by former Girl members Gerry Laffy, Simon Laffy and Pete Barnacle. The band was named after the GIRL album Sheer Greed.
Recorded at DEF LEPPARD frontman Joe Elliott’s house/studio in Dublin and engineered by the band’s house engineer Pete Woodroffe, the album’s executive producer was Def Lepp Phil Collen, who also contributed several guitar solos and vocals.

SHEER GREED (ex Girl) – Live In London [Japan Edition]

As requested, here’s ”Live In London”, the live record SHEER GREED released only in Asia a year after their only studio album ”Sublime To The Ridiculous’, featuring DEF LEPPARD’s Phil Collen.
SHEER GREED was formed by ex GIRL members Gerry Laffy, bother Simon Laffy and Pete Barnacle. The band played a lot of gigs between 1992-93, so it’s really strange their albums weren’t released in Europe.
”Live In London” documents SHEER GREED hot performance on stage, augmented with the addition of lead guitarist Neil Gabbitas.
Rare album, out of print.

The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (N.W.O.B.H.M.) was a musical movement that somehow saved – or revitalized if you want – the languishing metal / hard rock scene at the end of the Seventies, and cemented the ’80s sound for the genre during the entire decade. The excellent 3-CD box “Lightnin’ To The Nations: NWOBHM 25th Anniversary Collection” comprises...
