Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 1 - July 2019 Lou Reed - The Blue Mask

[Murfocakes]

I’ll throw you a clue a day early, with all the Metallica talk, this album predates their first album

 

[Captainfog]

Is it hard rock/metal or are we talking more of a garage/indie rock sort of sound?

It’s not metal.

 

[Joe Mac]

So pre July 1983, 2 guitars bass n drums only, not metal...

Don’t say I never give you anything.

 

[Murfocakes]

Hmmmm

Do you like the sound of it?

I guarantee it will be the best AOTM since @Skalap picked his (but it might not be once @Goatfish has a turn)

Potentially, I’m just kinda hoping it isn’t something screamingly obvious that I’m going to feel dumb about not getting...

 

[Skalap]

I updated the guess list even if @duke86fan didn't helped me:

 

[Captainfog]

Mamas Boys debut Plug It In released in 1982 included the single 'Needle In The Groove'

They're Irish, Murfocakes is Irish, the Irish love the Irish.

It's all falling into place.

Great suggestion.

So from a bit of internet trawling I have a guess that (I think) hits all the clues so far...

Lou Reed - The Blue Mask

80s (82 so before July 83)
Not jazz
None of our trio have it
@Murfocakes does have it (in the Lou Reed box)
2 guitars bass and drums
Not a clue about jethro tull
Both Lou Reed and Robert Quine off that list
Not metal

You may have something here. According to Google, the drummer is Doane Perry, who later joined Jethro Tull.

Same! I only have Transformer and VU's records. The album was remastered a few years ago and is widely available
