The Multi-Coloured Shades The Lost Tapes (vinyl) Review by Gary Hill
This new 10-inch vinyl disc is cool. It's on red vinyl and has two songs on each side. That makes it land in the 20-minute range. This is solid hard rock with a healthy helping of punk in the mix. It's cool stuff.

Track by Track Review
Side A
China Doll
I dig the energy and old school punk rock vibe of this cut. It's catchy and very cool.
Highway Love Patrol This makes me think of Lords of the NewChurch quite a bit. There is more of a less polished vibe to this cut, though. I dig the guitar solo a lot, but the whole song just plain rocks.
Side B
Stray Dog Love
Now, this feels to me like a cross between the Lords of the NewChurch and The Cramps. It's great stuff however you slice it.
Boys Of Babylon I don't really make out any punk rock on this. It's more of a straight ahead riff driven 70s styled rocker. It's classic sound in so many ways.
