Metal Show & Tell: DEMON āLiarā 7ā Red Vinyl Debut Single From 1980
Front cover sleeve Take a look at this original DEMON 7ā red translucent vinyl I bought many years ago! This was the debut single from DEMON, released back on August 5th, 1980, via Clay Records. (My source for the release date is from The Metal Archives website). The pressing amount for this DEMON debut vinyl single was 5,000!
āLiarā side DEMON originated back in 1979, in Leek, Staffordshire, England. They are considered as one of the pioneering bands of NWOBHM.
From my research, the original members of DEMON, beginning in 1979, were: Dave Hill (vocals), Mal Spooner (guitars), Clive Cook (guitars), Paul Riley (bass) and John Wright (drums). Vocalist Dave Hill has been the only constant member over the decades and still present with DEMON.

New Biopic Will Depict The Adventures Of Young Billy Joel
Before he became famous as a solo artist, Billy Joel was one half of Attila, a psychedelic rock duo from Long Island. Joel’s bandmate in Attila (and, before that, the Hassles) was drummer Jon Small, the other guy in the photo above. Small was married to a woman named Elizabeth Weber, but she left him and married Joel instead. Shockingly enough, the band did not stay together. Later on, Weber and Joel broke up, and a depressed Joel attempted suicide more than once. After his second suicide attempt, Small found him and brought him to the hospital. He and Joel made up. Joel and Weber made up, too, and Weber eventually became Joel’s manager. That sounds like a movie, right? Especially if we’re going to make biopics of every damn famous musician?
