NWOBHM EPs Vol 3 : 1982-1984

Time for part 3 of the great NWOBHM (That's New Wave Of British Heavy Metal to you and me!) EP post, and there are some real treats to be found amongst this selection.
Now you may only know the legacy of the NWOBHM from the bands who made it out alive & went on to bigger & better things, i'm talking about the likes of IRON MAIDEN, DEF LEPPARD & SAXON, and thanks to METALLICA's patronage maybe you also know of DIAMOND HEAD, but these bands were merely the tip of a huge iceberg. There were literally thousands of bands forming and splitting during this era, and if they got as far as releasing product, chances are it would be a small run independent 7" or EP.
It's amongst these obscure records that the true gems are to be found, it just takes a little digging to unearth these Metallic treasures, but when you hit pay dirt, it's well worth the effort!
So get yer hardhats on, grab a pick axe, a torch and a canary and get ready to get your hands dirty. Welcome to the Still Alive & Well precious Metal mine, go forth & excavate!
