There's not much I can say about this British band. Information about them is hard to find. The only thing I know is that they have released only one album on a local label. 
Ace Lane was considered part of the NWOBHM-movement. To me that's odd, because they aren't a Metal band. To me they're an 80's melodic Rock band, closer to AOR than to Metal. But who cares. As long as the music's good. When I put the record on the first thing I noticed was the FM-friendly nature of the songs. I expected to hear Metal, but instead I got accessible Rock songs that all were (without any exception) skilfully written. The production is decent enough to not hamper the listening experience. The only downside I see is that terrible artwork. Yet, in a way it made the album even more interesting, as it emphasized its obscure nature. 
As part of the NWOBHM-movement Ace Lane was definitely on the lighter side of the spectrum. But that's also what set them apart from most other bands. They existed alongside bands that were often simply trying to outdo each other with fast playing and macho riffing, but who at the same time forgot to write real songs. Unfortunately, in a movement that for the most part catered to young rebellious males, there was little room for a band like Ace Lane. 
A short bio: 
Where to start with Ace Lane? Well the band formed in 1982 They almost got a deal with Genesis's publishing company but couldn't get a band together quickly enough to showcase the demos. Ace Lane was a Barnsley band- not Hull; they only recorded in Hull. Their gigs sold out at the time. BBC Radio One airplay by Tommy Vance followed and the important British music magazine Kerrang did a good review but both Rondelet Records and Expulsion Records liquidated the respective companies and took off with all our sales and publishing money. Rights were sold to Roadrunner Records and Mausoleum USA Records and companies in Europe, Australia, Argentina and Japan, even China. But the band got nothing and split in 1983. 

Break down of P&P costs:

1) Postage

2) packaging

3) Money to go to the post office and return from the post office.(Sometimes, this actually costs more than postage).

Therefore: dispatching an item costs more than what the postage label indicates. Please keep that in mind.

Also keep in mind that when a seller has to deciding the P&P price, he (or she) doesn't know exactly how heavy the package will be and where potential byers are located. If the buyer is from a nearby country, the P&P might look "expensive". If the buyer is from a faraway country, it might look "cheap". Bottom line is: please don't complain about the P&P price at any stage (especially NOT when you leave your feedback for the item that you bought), as I am trying to guess what price to charge for P&P and it is impossible to get it "exactly right". If you are a Scrooge and feel like arguing, or creating a problem for tinny amounts of money, just don't buy from me. I don't want to complicate things and I don't like Scrooges.
