The third single from the sixth full-length studio album, "Secret Dreams And Forbidden Fire", by legendary British Rock singer.
After the success of "Faster Than The Speed Of Night" in 1983, Bonnie Tyler went on to work with Jim Steinman on a next album. "If You Were a Woman (And I Was a Man)" was released as the third single after the international success of first single "Holding Out For A Hero", which was originally released in 1984 from the soundtrack to the film "Footloose". It was written by Desmond Child and produced by Jim Steinman.
Upon its release, "If You Were a Woman (And I Was a Man)" debuted at number 42 in France, rising to number 6 two months later. It was certified Silver by the SNEP with sales of over 250,000 copies in France. Elsewhere in continental Europe, "If You Were A Woman (And I Was A Man)" was a hit in Finland, Switzerland and West Germany, where it peaked at number 11, 16 and 36 respectively, the single stayed in the European Hot 100 Singles for 22 weeks. The song failed to significantly impact the UK singles chart, however, spending three weeks in the chart, peaking at number 78.
Across the Atlantic, the song peaked at number 77 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 87 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart. "If You Were A Woman (And I Was A Man)" has since been Tyler's last hit single in the United States.
Bonnie Tyler’s "If You Were A Woman (And I Was A Man)" (1986) is the original version of what became Bon Jovi’s "You Give Love A Bad Name". Songwriter Desmond Child has since stated that the song was re-written as "You Give Love A Bad Name" with Bon Jovi after he was dissatisfied with the chart performance of "If You Were A Woman (And I Was A Man)". Unsatisfied with the commercial success of the original, Child re-wrote the lyrics, recycled the chorus melody, and adjusted the style with Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, turning Tyler’s gender-bending Synth Rock song into Bon Jovi’s Hard Rock #1 Hit.
Tyler’s version was successful in Europe (e.g., #6 in France) but only reached #77 in the USA. Bon Jovi’s version hit #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on November 29, 1986.
The song was later having an "interpolation" or similar melody to "Kings & Queens" by Ava Max in 2020.
Tyler re-recorded the song on her 2004 album, "Simply Believe".

-
€ 16.90
- Price in bonus-scraps: 169
The debut full-length studio album by legendary British Country/Pop singer.
Bonnie Tyler (then known as Gaynor Hopkins) spent seven years performing in local pubs and clubs around South Wales between 1969 and 1976, first as part of Bobbie Wayne & the Dixies, and then with her own band Imagination. In 1975, she was discovered singing with Imagination by talent scout Roger Bell. She was invited to London to record two demos, "My! My! Honeycomb" and "Lost in France". After months passed, RCA Records contacted Tyler, announcing that they would be releasing "My! My! Honeycomb" as a single in April 1976.
Bonnie Tyler's debut album is filled with promise and indications of great things to come. Produced (and largely written) by Ronnie Scott and Steve Wolfe, who worked as her managers while she was signed to RCA, "The World Starts Tonight" walks the fine line between Country and Pop that was popular in the mid-'70s.
As an introduction to Tyler's voice, this was an impressive debut. But it merely paved the way for Tyler's teaming with Jim Steinman, when she would realize her true potential and start the second phase of her multi-faceted career. A formidable debut, highlighted by covers of "Love of a Rolling Stone" and "Piece of My Heart".
Two singles were released from the album. The first, "Lost in France", was certified Silver by the BPI for sales of over 250,000 copies. "More Than a Lover" was also a hit, but failed to make progress in the UK Singles Chart after the BBC banned the song for its controversial lyrical content. The ban resulted in the song only reaching number 27 in the UK.
Shortly after recording the album, Tyler had surgery to remove nodules from her vocal cords. The operation left Tyler with a permanently raspy voice.
On the week ending 10 March 1978, over a year since its release, "The World Starts Tonight" debuted at number thirteen on the Swedish Albums Chart. It reached its peak position at number two in the following week, remaining there for a total of three weeks. In the fifth running week on the chart, "The World Starts Tonight" fell to number six, replaced by Tyler's second studio album "Natural Force".

The ninth full-length studio album by cult Japanese Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
Bow Wow was one of the first Japanese bands to prove that domestic musicians could compete with Western Hard Rock acts. The band formed in 1975 by record producer Yoshimi Ueno, and was one of the first Japanese Metal bands. They were quickly signed to Victor and used the money to buy a truck that could double as a stage, which earned them interviews with many magazines and television shows. Yamamoto recalled that when he joined, he told the producer he was a guitarist and not a singer, but during recording someone suggested he sing in English, and he went to be second vocalist of the band. Bow Wow released their self-titled debut album in 1976. In 1977, Bow Wow opened for Aerosmith and Kiss on their Japanese tours.
When main former vocalist Mitsuhiro Saito left in the band in 1983, after releasing nine studio albums with the band, Bow Wow adopted a mainstream sound by recruiting lead vocalist Genki Hitomi and keyboardist Rei Atsumi, and renamed themselves to Vow Wow. They relocated to England in 1986, before former bass player Kenji Sano left the band the following year, and former guitarist Kyoji Yamamoto invited former Whitesnake bassist Neil Murray to replace him. After Murray left to join Black Sabbath, studio bassist Mark Gould played on Vow Wow's last album before they disbanded in 1990.
Yamamoto reformed Bow Wow in 1995 with all new members, before it became a trio when fellow original members Saito and Niimi rejoined in 1998. Niimi left in 2015 and the band now performs under the name Bow Wow G2, which refers to the two guitarists being the only official members.
1982's "Asian Volcano" marked Bow Wow's categorical return to the Heavy Rock style that launched their career, following a series of befuddling mainstream Pop albums.

Bow Wow was one of the first Japanese bands to prove that domestic musicians could compete with Western Hard Rock acts. The band formed in 1975 by record producer Yoshimi Ueno, and was one of the first Japanese Metal bands. They were quickly signed to Victor and used the money to buy a truck that could double as a stage, which earned them interviews with many magazines and television shows. Yamamoto recalled that when he joined, he told the producer he was a guitarist and not a singer, but during recording someone suggested he sing in English, and he went to be second vocalist of the band. Bow Wow released their self-titled debut album in 1976. In 1977, Bow Wow opened for Aerosmith and Kiss on their Japanese tours.
When main former vocalist Mitsuhiro Saito left in the band in 1983, after releasing nine studio albums with the band, Bow Wow adopted a mainstream sound by recruiting lead vocalist Genki Hitomi and keyboardist Rei Atsumi, and renamed themselves to Vow Wow. They relocated to England in 1986, before former bass player Kenji Sano left the band the following year, and former guitarist Kyoji Yamamoto invited former Whitesnake bassist Neil Murray to replace him. After Murray left to join Black Sabbath, studio bassist Mark Gould played on Vow Wow's last album before they disbanded in 1990.

-
€ 44.90
- Price in bonus-scraps: 449
First re-release of the third full-length studio solo album by legendary British Heavy Metal singer.
"Skunkworks" is an Alternative Rock album. Originally, Bruce intended for "Skunkworks" to be the debut album of a band by the same name. However, the label would not publish the record under any other name than Bruce Dickinson. The album moved even further away from the Progressive sound of his former band Iron Maiden into an Alternative Rock sound similar to bands such as Soundgarden. The album was produced by Jack Endino, best known for producing Nirvana's first album.
Displaying a sometimes Rush-like refined Prog Groove and plenty of his traditional science-and-literature lyrical themes, Bruce Dickinson deserves high marks for "Skunkworks". This 1996 release signals Dickinson's tentative shift toward music generally in tune with (but still somewhat restrained when compared to) his seminal work with Maiden. The occasionally over-serious, high-concept imagery is about what fans would expect, but the open, less Metallic accompaniment (that still Rocks by any standard) has a non-chronological familiarity.
Joining the singer on "Skunkworks" are musicians Alex Dickson (guitars), Alex Elena (drums), and Chris Dale (bass). Highlight tracks include "Solar Confinement", which while lyrically murky, has a great chorus, and the Soundgarden-esque "I Will Not Accept the Truth". "Headswitch" is also a treat, with its updated Deep Purple groove. This track also features some of Dickson's best work.
A year after "Skunkworks", Dickinson joined up with former Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith and made a more defined return to classic form. Most agree that the Smith period is the singer's finest, but "Skunkworks" has some merit of its own, foreshadowing what would become a highly approved stylistic shift!

First re-release of the debut full-length solo album by legendary British Heavy Metal/Hard Rock singer.
In 1990, Bruce Dickinson launched his solo career with "Tattooed Millionaire", which is far from a carbon copy of his work with Iron Maiden. Many of the fans who knew him as Maiden's lead vocalist assumed that this solo debut would be Maiden-like - they expected an album of aggressive yet melodic fantasy Metal in the Maiden/Ronnie James Dio/Black Sabbath vein. But "Tattooed Millionaire" found Dickinson favoring more of a Hard Rock/Pop-Metal approach. This album is full of glossy and lighthearted Soft Metal that wouldn't be out of place on an album by Winger, Bon Jovi or Def Leppard.
The album project began when Dickinson was asked to record a song for "A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child", and so wrote "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter". Collaborating with future Iron Maiden guitarist Janick Gers, Dickinson began creating a solo album, which was fundamentally different from his works with Iron Maiden, with a Hard Rock sound that is less Progressive.
"Lickin' the Gun" is more Aerosmith than King Diamond, and "Son of a Gun" is more Bad Company than Candlemass. And while some Maiden worshipers might prefer to hear Dickinson singing fantasy Metal, the fact is that "Tattooed Millionaire" is excellent. With this album, Dickinson did what fellow Brit Rob Halford did on some of Judas Priest's more commercial and Pop-influenced releases - he showed listeners another side of himself and demonstrated that he wasn't obligated to embrace fantasy Metal 100 percent of the time. For Dickinson, coming out with something more Pop-minded didn't mean being contrived or unimaginative. "Tattooed Millionaire", for all its Pop-Metal gloss, has a lot of guts, and Dickinson is consistently inspired whether he is embracing original material or providing a memorable remake of David Bowie's "All the Young Dudes".
On subsequent solo efforts like 1994's "Balls To Picasso" and 1998's "The Chemical Wedding", the British vocalist got back to fantasy Metal. However, he seemed to need a break from it in 1990, and "Tattooed Millionaire" turned out to be a most pleasant surprise!
"Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter" wasn't included on the original release, as Iron Maiden planned to record an alternate version for their 1990 album "No Prayer For The Dying", which went on to become the band's only number one single on the UK Singles Chart to date. The album did yield four Top 40 singles in the UK, with the lead and title single "Tattooed Millionaire", reaching no. 18. A cover of the David Bowie penned, Mott The Hoople hit "All The Young Dudes", was also a relative success, reaching no. 23.

Second remastered re-release of the fifth full-length studio solo album by the legendary British Heavy Metal singer.
With 1997's "Accident Of Birth", Bruce Dickinson returned to the top of the Heavy Metal food chain. It combined the right characteristics that a popular Metal record would need, and mashed them all together, creating an excellent atmosphere that satisfied fans all over the world. For his next studio effort, Bruce once again called up Accident of Birth's successful guitarist tandem, Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden) and Roy Z. In 1998, Bruce Dickinson released "The Chemical Wedding" worldwide and once again, it was very well received. Once again, Bruce had shattered all expectations to create an album that might even be better than the previous one.
"The Chemical Wedding"'s sound is very similar to the previous album. Very heavy, yet at the same time, melody is still incorporated into the formula. Many of the songs are driven by aggressive, yet at the same time well thought out riffs. These riffs are very fitting with the sometimes angry or violent lyrical themes that are present. However, "The Chemical Wedding" still differs from "Accident Of Birth". On tracks such as the title cut, "Machine Men" or "The Alchemist" shows a more melodic side or Bruce Dickinson. These songs combine both the melody and heaviness. Professionally written and recorded, Bruce Dickinson once again pours his soul into his music, and the result is spectacular.
The record draws some inspiration from the works of William Blake, featuring sung and spoken excerpts of his prophetic works and poetry (notably And did those feet in ancient time on the track Jerusalem), and with cover art from his painting The Ghost of a Flea, although the name of the album and its title track derive from the Rosicrucian manifest the Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz.
The film, "Chemical Wedding", with a screenplay by Dickinson, was released in May 2008. It features the title track from the album on its soundtrack, but concerns a story about the reincarnation of Aleister Crowley and is otherwise unrelated.
Before Bruce got back together with Iron Maiden in 1999, he released two essential Metal albums. "The Chemical Wedding" is one of those albums, and definitely the better of the two. It's definitely one of the best Metal albums of the late 90's!!

Dickinson's first solo album since rejoining Iron Maiden in 1999.
Singer, songwriter, pilot, author, fencing champion, air raid siren, and force of nature: Bruce Dickinson is simply a man for whom many of the normal rules and restrictions of life do not seem to apply. Heavy Metal’s premier Renaissance man is, of course, best known as vocalist and frontman with Iron Maiden, the greatest British Metal band of all time and, some four decades after they originally formed, still one of the most widely adored bands on the planet. But as anyone that has followed Bruce’s story will tell you, singing with Maiden is just one part of his grand, substantial and fascinating musical life. Remarkably, given that, he is just as likely to be found flying an airliner; Bruce has amassed a formidable catalogue as a solo artist, releasing six extraordinary studio albums that, at this point, represent his freewheeling efforts to date.
As the 20thcentury ground to a halt, Bruce was busy reconvening with the Iron Maiden family, and contributing to the most spectacular and undeniable comeback in heavy metal history. As a result, there was a brief pause in the forward grind of his solo work. But even as Maiden returned to the greatest of global heights, Bruce’s idiosyncratic muse was as restless as ever. Seven years on from the glories of “The Chemical Wedding”, the sixth chapter in the great man’s solo journey appeared. A more varied and introspective affair than its predecessor, “Tyranny Of Souls” touched upon balls-out Hard Rock ("Devil On A Hog"), gallivanting, state-of-the-art Melodic Metal ("Abduction") and hazy, Prog-fueled Psychedelia (the exquisite "Navigate The Seas Of The Sun" – a song inspired by cult author Erich von Däniken’s theory of extra-terrestrial life on Earth in the distant past). The album’s title track drew from Shakespeare’s Macbeth, with all the pitch-black melodrama that such a conceit demands, while "Kill Devil Hill" paid tribute to aviation pioneers the Wright Brothers’ first triumphant flight in 1903.
The songwriting on the album was split between Roy Z and Dickinson. During composition, Roy sent recordings of riffs to Dickinson, who was on tour with Iron Maiden. Dickinson subsequently wrote lyrics and melodies. Roy also served as the album's producer and played all guitar parts, as well as some supplemental bass guitar and piano parts.
The other players on the album were all connected to Roy Z through different projects. Z, bassist Ray "Geezer" Burke, and keyboardist Maestro Mistheria all contributed to vocalist Rob Rock's 2003 release, "Eyes Of Eternity". Drummer Dave Moreno and bassist Juan Perez were members of Z's Latin Rock band Tribe of Gypsies at the time.
