Dyan Diamond
In the Dark 1978

Dyan Diamond was one of Kim Fowley's protégés.
She was a member of Venus & the Razorblades at the age of 14.
This is her Fowley-produced debut solo effort. By then 16 and 'legal'.
It bombed and she was immediately dropped by the mercenary bastards at MCA.
Shame, as I think she was great and this is a decent album.
A couple of (good) pop songs but mostly rock n roll.
I've been listening to it for 46 years so it must have something.
It's a vinyl rip. I don't think it's ever been released on CD.

Titus

  1. Looks very nice indeed. And the guitar player isn't bad at all. Will have serious listen while driving my car at slow speed.

  2. I've also had a promo copy of this album since it came out. I sure hope the mercenary bastards at MCA don't ask for it back! - Stinky
