Symphonic Slam tune "Universe" seems to be a copy of Neils tune "King of Mars"... listen and see what you think...'universe' supposedly was released in 1976, was there any problems with it back then?
Got most of it off the internet years ago, but don't have an extensive slelection of Merryweather's stuff. Really dug it back then. ... I did email Timo once, got his side of things. Cool guy.
@PadreMDB Its rare that a great song is covered by an even better version. Joe Cockers version of She came in through the bathroom window comes to mind. No doubt that the Merryweather version of 8 Miles high falls into this category.
The singlemost greatest version of this song i ever heard. I used to play it at WOFM Magic 92.1 in Hampton Roads VA in the 80s when i was a rock jock there.
I saw this vid and first thing crossed my mind was Hollywood Blvd also gillanator. I used to have this album and Hollywood Blvd was my favorite song. I found Space Rangers in a cutout bin way back when for something like a buck and thought to myself what a great gem of an album.
Amazing, beautiful track, smokin' drummer!!

FreudsC4t can you upload Hollywood Blvd. from this album ?

I will try and put it up soonish. I dont have any more images to use unfortunately.
Anyone know if Merryweather ever had any film footage shot?
