ORIGINAL PRESSING OF THIS CLASSIC NWoBHM SINGLE (NOT one of the bootleg re-presses that are out there!!!!) DISC IS EX SLEEVE IS VG (slight discolouration and edge wear top left corner)
Sparta are one of the more obscure bands of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal period. The band was formed in Mansfield, in the English Midlands, in 1979.
In 1980, Nottinghamshire-based label Suspect Records put out this debut single pairing “Fast Lane” with “Fighting To Be Free”. In 1981, the band unleashed their second 7" single "Angel Of Death" (with “Tonight” on the flipside), once again on Suspect Records. The same year their label published a compilation of local bands under the name of "Scene Of The Crime" (the original vinyl selling for anything up to £100). Sparta quickly gained a healthy local following by gigging with Diamond Head, Praying Mantis, Lionheart and Budgie. The band are actively gigging again today.
Choice of Royal Mail "signed for" services to UK destinations (2nd class signed for AT YOUR RISK, as compensation is only £20) and "signed for" as far as the UK Ebay Shipping Centre for overseas bidders.
