TESLA TAKE TWO - CLASSIC SINGLE FROM THE CLASSIC DEBUT ALBUM MECHANICAL RESONANCE

While the thought is fresh in my mind, i thought it would be
good to come good on my promise to feature many songs of
US hard rock/metal band Tesla on Lost Treasures. The
previous blog featured a video clip of a song off their
second album THE GREAT RADIO CONTROVERSY, this
one comes off their critically acclaimed debut album
MECHANICAL RESONANCE from 1986. No nonsense
hard rock off this album, not as polished as many
other bands from that era but that's what really
made Tesla diffrent from all the glam cock rock
of the 1980`s. Instead of lipstick and eye liner
these guys were bred tough, they wore denim
jeans and there music was similiarly unpreten-
tious. The song this time is GETTIN' BETTER,
a reasonable short to the point pro working
class boogie rock chant which sounds like a
mixture of Acca Dacca, Aerosmith and Bad
Company. Done alright in america but to
this day this song as well as this album
haven't even crossed the mind of music
critics in Australia, let alone ever get-
ting any air play on mainstream radio.
