Released in 1980, Live Quartz Count Dracula And Other Love Songs (to give it its full title!) rattled few cages but entertained many upon its original release. Here was one of Britains hardest working acts a band that would go on to play the Reading Festival a total of three times and would tour as support to UFO, Iron Maiden, Gillan, Black Sabbath, Ac/dc, Saxon and Rush doing what they did best in front of a highly partisan audience (recorded at Digbeth Civic Hall, Birmingham on the 1st of December 1979). In short, Quartz rocked! On a good night, it was a brave band that would take the stage after Quartz had done their thing. This Birmingham band was among Diamond Head and Def Leppard among the first bands to make heavy metal faster and less plodding. This album includes live versions of favourites like Mainline Riders, Street Fighting Lady, and the otherwise hard to find track Count Dracula. And as live albums go, Live Quartz Count Dracula And Other Love Songs is one of the more memorable ones. Listen and believe.
