Hey thanks, Jeff, still got these to sign and send from martinpopoff.com - it's not just about Kiss, but all of 1976!

@PopoffMartin I just got it! I can’t wait to dig into it! Looks awesome’
Please do a sequel for 1977 & 1978. Nobody ever seems to do books on those years.
You always do a great job! Love your books!

Awesome interview with former Uriah Heep vocalist Peter Goalby by @PopoffMartin outsiderrock.ca/2025/11/20/p…
Peter played with the great rhythm section of The Blizzard of Ozz: Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake, including a demo called Valley of Kings which morphed into Fire in the Sky on Ozzy Osbourne's No Rest for the Wicked

Frig, yeah, thanks, Simon - but this will look like a pamphlet once I finish my Paice Ashton Lord book.

Martin Popoff makes his debut on The Farm to discuss BOC's legendary "Imaginos cycle," including its occult implications of World War I. What is behind the Imaginos revival? Bang it here..

Love it, thank you for that. Yeah, this one is like the Rush trilogy - just everything I had, stuck in there. ha ha, how's that for a review?

@PopoffMartin Well, it's taken me a couple of months (but I've read every word) and I have reached the final chapter. As a Maiden fan myself since 1980, through all eras, it's been a great ride. Such a fantastic book. Thanks very much 😃

An odd theory, but what do you think? Screw the idea of calling anything proto-punk? #PantheonPods @PantheonPods music.amazon.ca/podcasts/235…
