Unfortunately this single just made it to the Japanese market though there is this Promo CD. When I met Bruce I had this with me and he did not even know this CD and thought it was from Spain . This CD is sure worth buying because of the Spanish version of Man of Sorrows. Also the Demo songs are worth a listening.

METAL MUTHAS Volume II (Rare N.W.O.B.H.M compilation LP originally released on in 1980) does have a few select gems on it. Particularly the opening and closing cuts from Trespass; a truly underrated British metal band, "Cutting Loose" by Xero, a great song with very soulful vocals and a totally bitchin' opening riff and killer lead break! White Spirit (the original band of current Maiden guitarist Jannick Gers') contributes the track "High Upon High" that features a great vocal performance from Bruce Ruff. Dark Star was another band who never hit it big, but does contribute a catchy hard rockin' tune called "Lady Of Mars." "Hard Lines" by The Raid (formerly Jameson's Raid) is a decent tune with a great opening bass line.

Trespass - "One Of These Days"
Eazy Money - "Telephone Man"
Xero - "Cutting Loose"
White Spirit - "High Upon High"
Dark Star - "Lady Of Mars"

Horsepower - "You Give Me Candy"
Red Alert - "Open Heart"
Chevy - "Chevy"
The Raid - "Hard Lines" (Jameson Raid)
Trespass - "Storm Child" £16
