Does Frith record on Ralph Records?
He may have a release or two on there, it sounds familiar. I think he had some stuff on Enigma back in the 90s but I don't know if that stuff is still available or not. Maybe Rhino or someone like that reissued them.

Man, don't get me started on records that I lost due to Straight. Records that I paid for (or shoplifted, in some cases)with money I made mowing lawns and working shitty jobs. What a great lesson to teach a kid about the value of working to buy your own stuff----throw them away so that all his time and effort was for naught. A lot of the stuff was definitely shite, stuff I wouldn't listen to now except for the nostalgia or novelty effect(and some not even then; if I were to mention some of the records I owned I would have to kill you to make sure the information wasn't used to embarrass me later), but still, the damn things were
mine, I bought them or stole them myself, my parents damn sure weren't into buying me any goddamn rock and roll records, even pre-Str8. Some of them are worth a lil bit o' cash these days, too.......
Anyway, as to the above "embarrassing records in my collection", I will cop to at one time being the proud owner of
Pieces of Eight by Styx, as well as some really shitty album by Angel, and I also owned Def Leppard's first record,
On THrough The Night. I used to tape the "Spotlight Album" on the local FM rock station at midnight, and the sonic diarrhea found in those cassettes would include Whitesnake--
Ready and Willing (at least this was when they tried to sound like later Deep Purple; oh, fuck,
now I'm defending my ownership of a homemade Whitesnake tape, something is definitely wrong, I should lay off the blow and just stick with the opiates....) and
Double Vision by Foreigner. That's all I'm gonna admit to right now, and that should be enough......I'm much more pissed off about the good ones that my parent's stole from me at Str8's instigation, them and their goddamn 'druggie stash' nonsense.
