Diamond Head - The White Album / Lightning To The Nations 1980 Happy Face NWOBHM
From Wikipedia.org...........
The album was recorded within seven days at The Old Smythy Studio in Worcester, which the band described as 'dead'.[1] This album came in a plain sleeve with no title, having on it only a signature of one of the band members and no track listings. The reason for this was that the band's manager, Reg Fellows, owned a cardboard factory and could produce blank sleeves at a low cost. Also, the reason for recording this album was an attempt to lay down some tracks so they could send it to a record company who would be more willing to release it, as the recording costs had already been covered; this idea came from Fellows and Linda Harris[2] (Sean's mother and tour manager). There were originally only 1000 copies pressed of the album, which were only available at their concerts or through mail-order at a price of £3.50. In fact the only mail-order advertisement appeared in British music magazine 'Sounds' and ran for four weeks. However, the band did not pay for the ad and ended up being sued.
This album has become one of the most sought-after items from the time for record collectors
