The title explains the contents quite nicely i feel, just a shed load of New Wave Of British Heavy Metal EPs, this selection culled from the very dawn of the movement, 1978-1980. As such, this lot will probably sound quite tame to today's young whippersnappers, dating as they do from the pre-Thrash, Black, Death, Speed eras. So sonically this lot share more in common with the titans of '70's Hard Rock & Heavy Metal than what passes for Metal nowadays. JAMESON RAID & GEDDES AXE were the most prolific of the bands featured here, releasing several 7"s & EPs between them. MONEY & 100% PROOF both managed to release full length albums, but the remainder were one shot bands. You'll be surprised at the bands individuality and playing, and for (mainly) independent self-financed recordings now almost 30 years old, the fact that the music holds up so well is testament to the strength & depth of the movements legacy.Enjoy.

Great photo, think this was taken at the bandwagogon heavy metal soundhouse, 79. The guy playing air guitar looks like superloon, and the guy playing the cardboard flying v is rob the loonhouse.Those where the days.
Yeah. right on.
30 years this year for the great scene that was NWOBHM.
Jameson Raid, brilliant, LP of old recordings out this year, gigs possibly next year.
Money. They should have made it along with J raid.
