FORMED IN 1981 BY TWIN GUITARISTS ROBIN BRANCHER AND KEITH SHARP THE BAND WERE APPROACHED IN 1984 BY BULLIT RECORDS TO RECORD THERE DEBUT ALBUM AT THAMESIDE RECORDS. THE ALBUM WAS ALMOST CANCELLED BY THE BAND AS BULLIT WENT BUST BUT AS THEY WERE CONTRACTED BY THAMESIDE TO RECORD THE ALBUM THEY WENT AHEAD ALTHOUGH THEY HAD LITTLE EXPERIENCE IN THE STUDIO. THIS CAUSED SOME UPHEAVAL AND SEVERAL DRUMMERS CAME AND WENT DURING RECORDING BUT THE LINE UP BECAME MORE SETTLED WITH THE ARRIVAL OF DRUMMER ADAM PALFREY. THE DEMISE OF BULLIT MEANT THAT THE ALBUM WAS NEVER PROMOTED AND CONSEQUENTLY SOLD POORLY WHICH IS A REAL SHAME AS IT IS CLASSIC NEW WAVE OF BRITISH HEAVY METAL. THE INNER SLEEVE IS SIGNED BY ADAM PALFREY, ROBIN BRANCHER, KEITH SHARP, VOCALIST DAVE WALL and BASSIST DAVE SCUTT WHO DOES NOT ACTUALLY PLAY ON THE ALBUM, BASS IS BY JOE LARNER WHO HAS NOT SIGNED. SUPERB ALBUM WHICH SURFACES ONLY VERY OCCASIONALLY.

Very good:- Has been played many times but retains good sound quality,despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear to the sleeve and extra items,without any major defects. Good:- The record has been played often and sound quality has deteriorated with some distortion and mild scratches.the cover and inserts suffer from folding,heavy scuffing to edges ,spine splits and discolouration.
