Prior to their recording career, Steve Holton (vocals) and Alan Tidswell (keyboards) were in the band.

The Eagle Has Landed is the first live album by heavy metal band Saxon. It was recorded during the 1981 United States raw of the world tour and released in 1982.Positively crackling performances of such all-time classics as "Motorcycle Man," "747 (Strangers in the Night)," "Princess of the Night," and the epic "Wheels of Steel," in arguably its definitive, audience-participating version. All the above made The Eagle Has Landed a solid offering. It won the British Heavy Metal live 1982 Award.

"Way way back in 82' I was a total and utter metal head! Long and hard did I seek the hallowed genre, and many times and often, was looked upon with contempt and even amusement when I entered our local vinyl store seeking albums even then, were deemed obscure and rare!
I usually had to do the dreaded - order and wait! And this album was no exception! I waited and waited for this baby let me tell you! It took effing ages to get to me in fact!
The usual outcome from the above process was an obscure album from an obscure band which due to not being able to pre-hear it, usually left me stuck with a slab of vinyl which was rubbish, and because I had ordered it, expensive rubbish!

What an album this is!!
“Perfumed Garden”. www.megawimp.com/mp3/Sledgehammer_perfumed.mp3
Can you believe this???!! This must be one of the best songs I heard in my lifetime! Or the closing number, “Garbandal” – bloody hell!!! And the production of the album – the dry bass, the powerful yet discrete drums and the guitar with sometimes nearly Bob Mould-ish licks and tricks ….. un-fucking-real!!!!
SLEDGEHAMMER first appeared on my radar upon the release of the essential “Metal for Muthas” LP comp. The song “Sledgehammer” has a bit more of a, hmmm – maybe Motörhead-esque feeling to it and I could be totally wrong, but I think MEDIEVAL’s theme song sounds pretty similiar (though a lot dirtier and rawer).

TYGERS OF PAN TANG [CLASSIC HEAVY METAL]
Tygers of Pan Tang are a heavy metal band, formed in 1978 in England. They are a notable band of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement. The band is named after an elite group of chaos-worshiping warriors, called the Tigers of Pan Tang, in Michael Moorcock's Elric stories.

By the time this album was released, John Sykes (formerly of Streetfighter, later in Badlands, Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, and Blue Murder) was added as second guitarist. Jess Cox then had a falling out with the others and quit, to be replaced by Persian Risk vocalist Jon Deverill. This lineup released Spellbound in 1981.
Spellbound is the second album by NWOBHM band Tygers of Pan Tang, produced in 1981 on MCA. "Gangland" has been covered by German thrash metal band Kreator in 1987 on their "Behind the Mirror" single.

A hard-to-find 1980 British METAL LP. “Vardis were a pioneering three-piece new wave of British Heavy Metal between 1978 and 1986. They were from Wakefield in England, and consisted of frontman Steve Zodiac on guitar and lead vocals, Alan Selway on bass and Gary Pearson on drums. Original Vardis records are rare and are valued highly in most record collector's books and guides.

They took the unorthodox approach of comprising their debut album, '100MPH' (1980), of entirely live recordings. This is largely considered to be their finest hour and gained the band a large following early on in their career. They were invited to play the Heavy Metal Holocaust music festival in August 198l alongside Motorhead, Ozzy Osbourne and Triumph. Around 30,000 heavy metal fans were estimated to have attended with the PA reportedly reaching new heights of amplification at over 100,000 watts.
