[Heeplist] I feel like an Outsider

Mon Jun 9 21:09:30 EDT 2014

cc'ing Bob & Iain...

ONE MORE DAY!!!!!
I preordered Outsider on Amazon and have my computer set to automatically download as soon the purchase is complete so I should be able to listen as soon as I get to work!!!

I already found the complete album artwork online. I really hate getting charged full CD price when I buy mp3s and don't get the artwork.

BTW, I already got the deluxe edition of the new Nazareth album, it's their best since Boogaloo!!! One weak track (Long Long Time sounds like an outtake from The Catch), but the rest are good ol' Nazareth hard rock/boogie. The two bonus tracks should've been on the album, especially the first one. It might be the heaviest song Naz has ever done! If you're a Naz fan, you gotta get this album!!! I sure hope Outsider can match it!!!!

I see most of them, but sometimes have strong doubts if mine are seen by some members. :)
