LP, released date : 1980 - EMI Records

RECKLESS’ FIRST LP called "Reckless" was recorded in 1979 at Phase One Studios in Toronto. Produced by Steven Madden & Paul Gross of SAGA fame. Phase One’s Legendary clientele included early Triumph, Surrender, Alfie Zappacosta, and Max Webster albums. Released worldwide in 1979 on the prestigious Harvest/EMI/Capitol label it received serious accolades from many European Rock/Metal magazines such as Kerrang, Sounds Magazine, New Musical Express and Bravo. Many heavy metal connoisseurs still feel this was the definitve Reckless album. From time to time on eBay you’ll find copies of the original album going for outrageous $$ - its a freaking collectors item!!
Did you know Reckless is included in Martin Popoff’s The Collector’s Guide To Heavy Metal Volume 2 : The Eighties

-----------------------------------------------------------

Canada's Vicious Circle seems to be walking the fine line between 80s hard rock and 90s grunge, trying to blend both sounds without committing to any single scene. It isn't easy to pull of such a stunt but Machine works because they offer enough surprises to keep fans of each genre happy. For every distorted vocal there will be a killer guitar solo to offset it, and while Vicious Circle seems unable to produce a sound to call their own, they are entertaining.
"Waiting" has a bluesy vocal sound over some early wah wah effects before morphing into an aggressive rocker. "Only Child" would have felt at home on the BulletBoys' Freakshow album. If someone would have been able to pull the 70s retro band Cry Of Love into the 21st century they likely would have ended up with a song like "Pulling Me". "Maxim Madame" would have been a hit back in 1989, very catchy and up-tempo. "Stop, Drop & Roll" sounds like it was mixed in a box, yet has the relentless attack of Helix in their prime.

1. Shockproof
2. Let Me Down
3. Feel So Good
4. Sky
5. You Are What You Are
6. Red Sun
7. Fool Injected Overlap
8. Weary Traveller

A 3 piece fairly heavy rock band from the 70's highly acclaimed as one of the best live acts in the UK at this time. "Back To Thunder" was the 2nd and last album originally released on "Gull Records" in 1978 and features the bass solo track "Red Sun" from Gordon Rowley who was once voted the 2nd best Bass player in the world.

=======================================================

Absolutely guitar-driven, a classic anyway in my humble opinion ! I’ll try to explain why.

EASILY ONE OF THE BEST HARD ROCK RELEASES OF 1987 , SOUNDING LIKE A MIX OF MAMA'S BOYS , AXTION , KING KOBRA AND HELIX (without the gritty vocals). GET THIS NOW!!!
No fingerprint marks on cover, it is part of the artwork, so don't worry it is a dirty cover or anything like that...
