Re: Rediscovering the Ballad


"When A Blind Man Cries" has been a favorite of mine since I first heard it on the "MkI + MkII" German double lp compilation in 1974. I never realized it was the "b" side to "Never Before" 'til years after the fact, as "Never Before" was my least favorite track from "Machine Head", thus I saw no reason to investigate the single any further at the time. Ah, the arrogance + ignorance of youth! emoticon

Re: Rediscovering the Ballad


Of couse I had the mk1 and mk11 German lp,I still love that album for all sorts of reasons including the informative write up in the gatefold sleeve.
I didn't really give WABMC a real listening until I got that single though,I guess I was too busy rockin to
that album and couldn't really appreciate it yet.
I got the album around 76,a couple of years before I became a serious collector and that album helped me actually.
I still like the German vinyls the most over any other
vinyl in the world next to the Japanese. emoticon

One thing we differ on about MH is that I find MIAL to be
the only substandard track in the whole mk11 era.
Never Before I find to be fabulous. emoticon
This is why I rank mk11 albums in this order,
Fireball
InRock
WDWTWA
Machine Head
the latter being the only one with one song I don't like,
I know MH is better than WDWTWA but that one song,MIAL
puts it at the bottom for me. emoticon
