NWOBHM LPs Pt 2 (1981-1983)

Here we are again with part two of the great NWOBHM LPs post, this time spanning the years 1981 - 1983. The better known bands featured here would probably be Liverpool's SPIDER, BRONZ (who featured NIGHTWING & future GTR vocalist MAX BACON) and ALKATRAZZ, but please note this is the AOR influenced UK group, not the Graham Bonnet/Yngwie/Vai band.
Lesser known names include the likes of CHINATOWN and the excellent Scottish band CHASAR, who i was lucky enough to see live once when i was just a lad. For real obscurists, check out the three compilation albums, all originally released by Ebony Records, lots of rare bands make their only vinyl appearances on these here compilations, and a few who went on to bigger & better things too. I won't give away band names at the moment, as that'd spoil the surprise. Dig in then folks, hope you enjoy tonight's menu.

CHINATOWN - Play It To The Death (1981)

Oh dear sadness, Flame are an AMERICAN band, featuring one Jimmy Crespo.Who played on Aerosmiths Rock in a hard place. Flame released two albums, both their eponymous debut in 1976 and 1977's Queen of the Neighbourhood. Had both of them but did not think they amounted to much.

While GTR's album was a chart success, it is highly debated among rock fans, especially supporters of Genesis and Yes, I have both ,I am a fanatic of this band, I traveled to England I went to one of their presentation in London!
