DIAMOND HEAD: 1980 Videos Unearthed

August 27, 2007

NWOBHM legends DIAMOND HEAD have updated their web site with the following message:

"After being 'lost' for over 27 years, and much sought after by both the band and fans, Dave Brett has done a sterling job in not only tracking down two songs filmed for 'Look Hear!' in 1980, but he has also sent us copies and uploaded them on to YouTube." You can see the band playing "Streets of Gold" and "Helpless" below.

Commented guitarist Brian Tatler: "I have been wishing I could see these two very old very rare videos for almost 27 years. I only saw them once when the program 'Look Hear!' was first broadcast in 1980 and no one had a video recorder then, so thanks to the DIAMOND HEAD web site and a lot of perseverance we finally have a copy in our possession. I would like to thank Dave for sending them to us, I was 19 when this was recorded, happy times."

Professionally filmed video footage of DIAMOND HEAD performing its new song "This Planet and Me" has been posted at YouTube. The track comes off "What's In Your Head?", which was released in Europe on July 30.

"What's In Your Head?" was previously described by the band as "a powerful but varied collection of songs." The CD includes the song "Reign Supreme", which is said to be "the heaviest track DIAMOND HEAD have recorded since 'Am I Evil?'"
