I would have too – I had to double check myself a few times just to be sure.

I'm shocked that “Puss & Boots” made it all the way to #58 but “Harry Houdini” failed to chart. I would have expected the opposite.

“(Korono plays t)he kind of music made to excite record-company employees, bedazzle radio programmers and dull the public palate – incompetently put together.”

—Dave Marsh reviewing Korona's “Let Me Be” album in THE NEW ROLLING STONE RECORD GUIDE, 1983 (it received one star out of five)

Judging by the sound clip above, sounds like Marsh was right.

This Krokus talk makes me want to hear Screaming In The Night. Why the hell don't I have that one on my Ipod?

Thanks Skip – look at that, first comment and I've learned something. Now that I can search on something – I found this on Bruce Blackman's website –

** Bruce recorded an album for United Artists in 1980. Although there was no group involved, he used the name â€œKoronaâ€ for the project. He brought in Louisiana singer Bob Gauthier to perform some of the vocals and used various studio musicians from Atlanta and Birmingham on the project.

Knowledge that I will probably never have a use for again – but knowledge none the less. Thanks

Korona was really Bruce Blackman who was the leader of Starbuck (Moonlight Feels Right)
