Headbangers Ball

It's getting harder and harder to find 80s Headbangers Ball episodes I don't have, but every once in a while one comes along like this one from late '89 with a great Fates Warning interview (they even talk about Mark Zonder's previous band Warlord).  Only 2 of the 3 hours, but beggars can't be choosers. The Vinnie Vincent compilation also includes a couple brief clips of Cinderella hosting the Metal Music 1/2 Hour which I hadn't seen before.  Otherwise, I got some alternate versions of episodes I already had, as well as some 90s and European episodes.
