Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capturing the working-class Yorkshire band at the absolute zenith of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, this release served as a defining document of the era's live energy. The breakneck speed and gritty, biker-themed anthems cemented their legacy before their eventual, less successful pivot toward the American market.
