Notes:

Mother's Army is an outfit of illustrious pedigree fronted by ex-Fandango, Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen and Deep Purple singer Joe Lynn Turner. Mother's Army made a significant impact in Japan. Joining Turner were characters of no less distinction with erstwhile Vanilla Fudge, Cactus, Ozzy Osbourne and King Kobra drummer Carmine Appice, Night Ranger guitarist Jeff Watson and Englishman Bob Daisley, a veteran of Ozzy Osbourne, Rainbow, Uriah Heep, Black Sabbath and Yngwie Malmsteen.

Both Daisley and Appice had figured on Watson's 1991 solo album 'Lone Ranger'. Mother's Army debute in 1993 with an eponymous outing. The group signed to German label USG Records for the 1998 follow up, 'Planet Earth'.

The 'Fire On The Moon' album found Appice supplanted by Aynsley Dunbar. Daisley deputised for DIO on their late 1998 Scandinavian dates as rumours flew regarding a possible Rainbow reunion featuring Ritchie Blackmore, Ronnie James Dio, Cozy Powell and Daisley. This project never got off the ground because Powell died in a car crash.
