METAL MUTHAS: Rare N.W.O.B.H.M compilation LP. Signed / autographed copy. Unquestionably a true classic!

METAL MUTHAS: Rare compilation LP Signed copy [Unquestionably a true classic that literally blew me away! Compiled by Neal Kay from London's Heavy Metal Sound House; Metal For Muthas introduced what has widely become known as the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. MFM features the very first recordings from Iron Maiden (the rare Sound House Tapes' versions of "Sanctuary" and "Wrathchild.") The record also introduced the underrated cult phenomenon known as Angelwitch, with a Sabbathy tune called "Baphomet." Other highlights include the (pre-
Bruce Bruce Dickinson) Samson epic "Tomorrow Or Yesterday," Sweden's own E.F. Band with "Fighting For Rock And Roll," (a classic tune), and the classy, progressive-metal song "Captured City" from Praying Mantis (one of the NWOBHM pioneers who unfortunately never met with much success.) The other bands on the album are Toad The Wet Sprocket and Nutz, Ethel The Frog contributing probably their best, and heaviest track, "Fight Back". An inferior version of Sledgehammer's theme song is also included (the single version was much heavier.) Nonetheless, MFM is a historic New Wave of British Heavy Metal compilation that should be in every true metal-head's collection!

New Wave of British Heavy Metalreleased in February 1980. The compilation was a sampling of various better-known artists of N.W.O.B.H.M, primarily known for having some of the earliest recorded material by heavy metal legends Iron Maiden. The original Metal for Muthas album reached #12 on the British LP charts.
