WELCOME TO LPCDREISSUES
The first Gallagher brothers to gain notoriety in the pop music scene, Mark (guitar) andJohn (bass/vocals) probably had no idea that their simple and genuine approach toheavy rock'n'roll would have contributed to sparking the so-called NWOBHM. From asimilar background as Iron Maiden, Saxon and Def Leppard came this 1981 gemfeaturing 11 fast stop&go tunes for headbangers in sneakers and ripped denim tostage dive to. Initially inspired by boogie rock kings Status Quo - they had beentogether since 1974 - and later heavily influenced by Judas Priest, RAVEN are a classicHM trio (drummer Rob "Wacko" Hunter completes the line up). All substance and no frills for a quiet night in with lotsof beer and heavy petting.Track listing - Side A: 1. Hard Ride 2. Hell Patrol 3. Don't Need Your Money 4. Over The Top 5. 39-40 6. For The Future Side B: 1.Rock Until You Drop 2. Nobody's Hero 3. Hellraiser-Action 4 .Lambs To The Slaughter 5. Tyrant Of The Airways
