"Quartz"


(1977/Jet Records UAG30081/UK ◎2006/Majestic Rock Records MAJCD077/UK) LP



NWOBHM に分類されこそすれ、QUARTZの歴史はかなり古く、1974年にまで遡らなければならないようです。BANDY LEGS というバンドが'74~'76年の間に3枚のシングル(うち一枚は"Ride Ride" c/w "Don't Play Games" (1974/WWA Records WWS 011/UK)をそれぞれ別々のレーベルからリリースしていますが、その"Ride Ride"シングルのメンバーは Mike Taylor (vo)、Mike Hopkins (g)、Geoff Nicholls (g/key)、Derek Arnold (b)、Malcolm Cope (ds) となっていて、これはそのまま後の QUARTZ のラインナップとなっています。BANDY LEGS は'75年に BLACK SABBATH のサボタージュ・ツアーをサポートし、その後、'77年に BLACK SABBATH のトニー・アイオミをプロデューサーとして1stアルバム「QUARTZ」をリリースしました。Geoff Nicholls はその後、長年に渡って BLACK SABBATH のツアーにサポート・メンバーとして同行しています。そのため QUARTZ は BLACK SABBATH の弟分として語られることになります。

"Live Quartz"


(1980/Reddington Rare Records ◎1980/Logo ◎1980/Nippon Columbia YX-7280-LG/Japan) LP

"Satan's Serenade"


(1980/Logo GO (T)387/UK) 12"EP



NWOBHMの機運にのって'80年にリリースされた"Satan's Serenade"は、ミディアム・テンポながらコーラス・ワーク、印象的なリフ、キャッチーなメロディを持ち、ジャケット・アートワーク、曲想、演奏が見事にかみ合った QUARTZ 畢生の曲であるばかりか、NWOBHMを代表する名曲中の名曲となりました。兄貴分の BLACK SABBATH からの影響も垣間見えますが、そこに見事に QUARTZ 節ともいうべきオリジナリティが加えられています。

凄いですよ! まさかね、NWOBHMの激震が全英を貫いていた1980年のレディング・フェスティヴァルでのクォーツのライヴを聴けるとは夢にも思ってなかったですよ・・・。音質に関しては無加工のままだと少々聴きづらいのですが、中音域をイクォライザーで持ち上げるとブートにしてはまずまずの音質となり、アンサンブルのバランスも良いので、とても嬉しい限りです。名曲#1、#3もしっかりとやってくれちゃってるじゃないですか♪ ライヴの"Satan's Serenade”なんて本当に夢じゃないでしょうか。もう少し長くこのライヴを聴いていたいのですが、MCAからアルバムを出したとはいえ、多数のバンドが出演したこのフェスでは、これがクォーツに割り振られた持ち時間だったのでしょうね。



"Against All Odds"


(1983/Heavy Metal Records HMR LP 9/UK) LP



レーベルをメジャーのMCAからインディペンデントの Heavy Metal Records に移りリリースされた4thアルバムですが、当時のファンは前作から変化したサウンドに戸惑い、そして失望しました。けれども聴き込めばその根底にある一貫した QUARTZ 節を感じられ、決して悪いアルバムではありません。現在、唯一の未CD化アルバムです。

PAUL DiANNO The Classics: The Maiden Years

2010-12-19 | NWOBHM P, Q, R

(2007/Cargo Records ◎2007/Bounty XQAN-1036/Japan)


何て刹那いアルバムなんだろう・・・。ヘヴィ・メタルを聴き始めたきっかけがNWOBHMであり、IRON MAIDEN だっただけに、その1stや2ndは何度聴いたかわからず、これらはもう自分と切り離すことが出来ない細胞の一部とすらなっているような気がするんです。若いファンにとってはブルースが馴染み深いのでしょうが、自分にとっての IRON MAIDEN とはポール時代であり、特に1stだったんです。それだけにそのポールが IRON MAIDEN 時代の曲をセルフ・カヴァーしたこのアルバムを聴くと、胸が締めつけられてしまうんです。声はポールですが年を経た分、当然ながらオリジナルのアルバムの声とは変わっています。なぜ今さらセルフ・カヴァーなのかを問い、そして現在の IRON MAIDEN とポールを対比すると、どうしても刹那くなってしまうんです。だからいつの日にか、もっと普通にこのアルバムを楽しめる日が来るまで封印しよう。ギターのビル・リースギャングは元 XERO のメンバー。

’97年に突如『LOST WEEKEND』(1996/Now & Then ◎1997/Alfa Music ALCB-3170)というアルバムが発売されました。そのCDの帯にある謳い文句にNWOBHMerは驚愕したことでしょう。そこには「N.W.O.B.H.M.伝説のバンド、RHABSTALLIONの元メンバーによるニュー・グループ、ロスト・ウィークエンド…」と書かれていたのです。そのメンバーとはGのDavid Thompson。

RHABSTALLIONはコンピレーション『New Electric Warrior』(1980/Logo Records MOGO 4011/UK)に"Chain Reaction"を提供しています(『Day to Day』CD #2に収められたヴァージョンとは別テイク)。
