Samson - I Wish I Was The Saddle Of A Schoolgirls Bike

[Hardwere22]

Up the Samson!

[PaulSamsonArchive]

It's Bruce on vocals, replacing Paul Samson's original vocal. The song wasn't re-recorded, just the vocals were replaced.

[pieterjanoddens]

Never heard this song with Bruce on vocals! The original album version is with Paul Samson on vocals (get it right mindfreak2020202020!)

[MindFreak2020202020]

@pieterjanoddens If you read the comments I have already pointed out it is not Bruce Dickinson on vocals after doing some more research. Thanks anyway though.

[Ancutzamica7]

@pieterjanoddens There is an alternative version of their album Survivors [Extended Edition] that was released in 1990.On this album you can find the original songs recorded with Paul Samson on vocals, also 7 songs with vocals by Bruce .

Here is Bruce on vocals.

Thanks to uploader .

I wish i was the saddle of a schoolgirls bike.

[Sojic82]

Wow hehehehe....cool....sounds like L.A. Connection from Rainbow :-)

Bruce would have fitted well in Rainbow too... Song could be written from Ritchie Blackmore !!! :-)

[ZLUGGO]

I would smell like fish if I was such a saddle...

[tjcobra666]

I read in one of the Samson releases that the vocals were re-recorded during the shock tactics sessions. The music has been beefed up a little too, although it's the same 1979 recordings. Sounds great!

Hey Guys this is a demo version of this track, recorded by bruce maybe in 1980 or 81...

the exact date are not knowed. this demo version was discarded and didn't appear in any

official recording of Samson,

[getstyle]

BUT, it appears in some Maiden's Bootlegs released like a

compilations along with other tracks like this, demo versions, early versions , etc, etc. I got some stuff like that, "the soundhouse tapes"(with 16 tracks) and high voltage 1 & 2,

if you want to listen this treasures, haha, lets use P2P Soulseek Client, see ya!

[MindFreak2020202020]

The real "soundhouse tapes" only have 3 tracks on it. The rest other people just put there saying it was a part of it.

[getstyle]

I know that kiddo, I'm talking about bootlegs versions released by bootlegs labels. the original soundhouse tapes only have 3 tracks and was released only on vinil disk and was a limited edition. o_O!

[MindFreak2020202020]

On artistdirect you can read about why Bruce is in the credits when he did no record anything on the album. Basically he joined right after they finished recording all the songs, but wanted to put his name on it anyway. Just go to artistdirect and check out the album on there and you will find what I have found.

[SlaytanicMegaforce]

i think this is the re-recorded version with bruce on vocals

[MindFreak2020202020]

Yes it is, apparently they re-recorded stuff later on.

[IronRay12]

No this is bruce dickinson in samson..

Its not iron maiden

Its samson and the album is called Survivors...

LOL PAUL DAY AND DENNIS WILCOCK :P

[MindFreak2020202020]

Alright, you are partially right then. It is Samson and thanks for finding that out. The vocals are Paul Samson, not Bruce. Bruce came in later on, not on there debut album.

[ZLUGGO]

@MindFreak2020202020

"Head On" is a great Samson album. I' m not sure whether it's their debut album though.

[barneykelly]

were can you find these lost treasure of early maiden from the late 70s

[MindFreak2020202020]

I was able to use the program SoulSeek to find and download the songs. Many other good stuff through that program too.

[dammit55]

since it was recorded between 1978 and 81 I think it's Wilcock

[MindFreak2020202020]

Paul Day was with the band during this time also.

[ThrashHard08]

wait... maybe its Dennis Wilcock

[ThrashHard08]

Its Paul Day

[MindFreak2020202020]

Ya I think it is after doing some research on it.

[BrutalChild]

who is the singer???

this doesnt sound like maiden at all...

is the singer paul day????

[MindFreak2020202020]

Ya it's Paul Day

[BrutalChild]

i knew it!!

:D

[sixpounder944]

haha what a name. it wish that too

[zero2492]

It doesn't sound like Maiden at all. Its real slow and it sounds way to happy.

[MindFreak2020202020]

Yup, that is kinda how it started and then got darker lyrics as they went on.

[Oni64]

It sounds like every other NWOBHM band at the time. I almost hear Bruce Dickinson on the chorus.

[snivage]

weird.....

[yinyang3]

Sounds different, but still good.

[zero2492]

this is some weird stuff.

[MindFreak2020202020]

Well being before Bruce Dickinson for most people it sounds weird because we grew up with Bruce on vocals. Hearing Paul doesn't sound quite like Maiden.

[BrutalChild]

exactly my opinion
