Dragon - Dreams Of Ordinary Men

Dragon were one of my favourite bands.

I had the pleasure of meeting Marc Hunter socially many times over the years.
I can still remember something he said back then... "when you call me at home, just ask for Fat Boy".

They were one of the most dynamic live Australian bands I ever had the good fortune to see perform on a regular basis.

This is their 1986 release Dreams Of Ordinary Men.

Once again, this is another deleted Australian title.

Dragon - Dreams Of Ordinary Men

Mark Williams - ZNZ

Mark Williams was born in 1954 in New Zealand. While still at high school, he formed his first band with some of his classmates. They called themselves The Face. Mark was the vocalist and rhythm guitarist.

In 1975 and 1976 he was voted New Zealand's Top Male Vocalist.

This album was a totally different sound for Mark, who had previously had a much "smoother" sound.

The album was produced by Harry Vanda and George Young, they also wrote all the songs. It contains the killer track "Show No Mercy".

The tracks on this album are :-
Show No Mercy
Fix Of Love
Spell Is Broken
Heavy Woman
Good Thing
I Love Electric
Shanghai Lily
You're So Cool
Feel For The Night
Fool No More

Since the release of this album, Mark has been in constant demand as a session singer.

Recently Mark took over vocals for the newly reformed Dragon. They have a new album due out shortly.

Once again, this is another long deleted album.
