Note About Shipping To The U.S.
We are located in Canada, but have registered ourselves on eBay.com instead of eBay.ca because it gives us significantly better global exposure. The problem with this is that eBay wants us to charge shipping appropriate to US, where media mail and other options make for fairly reasonable delivery costs. We tried it for a while but ended up losing money on shipping or having to cancel the orders because we couldn't afford to ship for those rates. To manage this we have set the US shipping to run a calculator based on an American location (we chose Plattsburgh as fairly close) and charging according to UPS pricing. This avoids the cancellation issue, but can appear to the buyer to be a prohibitive shipping cost and misrepresents the shipping as being only expedited. If you give us your postal code we will see if we can offer a more reasonable option, but generally we can get a single LP by air to most places in the continental US for $11, a double $16, a few bucks less for ground. If you pay for the item and the shipping was less than you paid we will refund you the difference
Thanks for shopping Sir Helmitt,

Night Flight
DBM Records DBM1002 LP 1976 (UK)
With 3 brothers in the lineup, played a mix off melodic rock and AOR with plenty pompy keys. To compare them with others, bands like UNCLE SAM, LITTERER, VICTORY GROUP, JESSE BRADY and also a bit HYBRID ICE and RATHSKELLER come to mind. Most of the songs are up tempo and there're no bad songs on the entire album. Especially in the chorus department, these guys sure wrote some nice tunes together.
The album starst very strong with the title song, an uptempo rocker with cathy chorus. Hold on contains some heavy guitars, but has again a very enjoyable chorus and a nice intrumental break with guitar solo towards the end. One of best songs is Bad News, which sounds very much like HYBRID ICE on their second effort.The 2 final songs on the A-side slow things down a bit. Don't knock the kids, with many acoustic guitars, and Stranger are both ballads, allthough the first mentioned has an uptempo chorus. Both very good songs.
Side B continues in the same style, allthough I must admit that towards the end, in particular the 2 last songs, are a bit weaker than the others. On this side, you'll also find the best song on the album, namely Chase the Dream, a mid tempo song with lots of keys very like UNCLE SAM and HYBRID ICE. About the singing I must admit, it's not always sensational, but allright. People who like the above mentioned bands will get the picture and sure can write this band on their wantslists. You won't be dissapointed.... Happy hunting.
