Vinnie Vincent to re-release albums ‘Euphoria’ and ‘Speedball Jamm’ + release two other records

Great news for Vinnie Vincent fans as the guitarist will be re-releasing his albums Euphoria (1996), which features Robert Fleischman on lead vocals, and Speedball Jamm (2004), which is one long instrumental lasting about 71 minutes, in June 2018.

In addition, Vincent‘s never released Guitarmageddon (1997) will finally be getting released on CD this summer. Guitarmaggedon was to contain the four songs from Euphoria as well as apparently five other tracks. It featured Fleischman on lead vocals and Andre Labelle on drums.

The KISS Related Recordings website has a quote from Labelle stating (with slight edits): “I can’t say for sure but I remember recording with Vinnie on and off between 1989-1992 in Los Angeles at Grandmaster Recording Studios, Clear Lake Audio, and Corner Stone Studios. The album title was to be “Revenge“. At the time, Vinnie was also writing for Kiss. Gene Simmons liked the title and convinced Vinnie to let Kiss use it. Vinnie then decided to use the title “Guitars from hell” for his own, Later changing it again to “Guitarmageddon“. Robert Fleischman sang on all the songs that I played drums on. The songs I remember recording are: “Wild Child, Rocks On Fire, Euphoria, Get The Led Out, Nuke it, Shocker, Invincible, Full Shred, Young Blood, Ride the Serpent, Cock Teaser, Brainsaw”. Vinnie was changing song titles and arrangements quite often, So its hard to say anything for sure”.”

The Vinnie Vincent Archives were apparently planned for a 1998 release. The KISS Related Recordings website suggests that the Vinnie Vincent Archives should have contained:

• “3 songs (rough versions) from the upcoming “Guitarmageddon” album; including “Brainsaw”.
  
• Vinnie Vincent demo’s, work tapes and outtakes. unreleased studio & live recordings
  
• Vinnie Vincent Invasion live performances and rehearsals.
  
• Warrior demo’s with Vinnie singing.
  
• Guitar From Hell demo’s
  
• The Ballads of Vinnie Vincent (a 20 track ballad tape) including the original version of “Back On The Streets”, “I Need Love” originally recorded for Lick It Up, later changed to “Shoot U Full Of Love”.
  
• Unedited versions of “Ashes To Ashes” and “That Time Of Year” with the original guitar solo’s.
  
• The original demos of Vinnie Vincent for Chrysalis Records ; “Boys are Gonna Rock”, “Shoot u Full Of Love”, “No Substitute”.
  
• a 50 minute rehearsal Jam session from 1986 which incl. the instrumental “Speedball”.”
