I always envied a mates brother who owned this album on vinyl. And so, after some some thirty plus years I have got my own copy, a re-issue on yellow vinyl! It is better than I remember it, I had forgotten that they used keyboards on this album and the vocals are shared with a chap called Bruce Bruce who was actually Bruce Dickinson of later Iron Maiden worldwide fame! Samson had a very fresh metal sound which is difficult to describe, less heavy and more bluesy and this debut album is much more melodic and diverse than their later works. By the time I got to see Samson live in the late eighties (supporting Whitesnake I think) both Bruce Dickinson and Thunderstick had moved on and there were no keyboards but I do remember what and amazing guitarist Paul Samson was. I think I may actually rate this higher than Shock Tactics and Head On!

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
