^That's the single remix. It sounds neutered by comparison. You can't even hear the bassline. The guitars are drenched in chorus (Alex Lifeson has the same problem on Hold Your Fire by Rush). And no Jon Lord!
Dig up a live version from the Saints & Sinners tour (the one in the video above is a mime shoot).

Needless to say, the original is superior. Why? Oh, JON LORD. COZY POWELL. You can actually hear the bassline. Fewer holes in the ozone from cans of Aqua Net being drained on an hourly basis offstage during the drum solo. And so on!
Some NBP obscurity, from former Whitesnake and Thin Lizzy guitarist John Sykes' band Blue Murder, "Valley of the Kings". Drummer Carmine Appice and fretless bassist Tony Franklin (the Firm) were also in the band.
^I posted that last year or in 2015, but it doesn't show up in the search! Weird.
Either way, a classic that deserves to be referenced more often. I first owned it on cassette.
John Sykes is a monster guitarist. Adrian Vandenberg couldn't polish his whammy bar.
I don't know why the search function misses things... I tried "Blue" (a lot of those), "Murder" (only a few entries), "Valley" (oh my gah-ahd) and "Kings" ("Switching to Glide") and not one had that song.

This time I entered "Blue Murder" without the song titles ("Valley of the Kings," "Jelly Roll") and found it.
