Description

Krescendo Records 2011. Great re-release of this fantastic NWoBHM classic as great double CD set with single B-sides and BBC concert.

Labelinfo:

AIIZ were latecomers to the feeding frenzy that the NWOBHM had undoubtedly become by 1980. All of the big names were happily ensconced in their major label homes with their major label deals and everything that came hand in hand with them.

The band found it's day in the sun with Polydor records and their – curiously – live debut album 'The Witch Of Berkeley'. This was followed by live touring with Girlschool and Black Sabbath in support of said album. The band had a crack at chart success with a Russ Ballard song, 'I'm The One Who Loves You' in 1982...and that was pretty much it... The album still sounds urgent and exciting, thundering along at a frightful pace, and is joined here by a second disc containing the band's 1980 BBC 'In Concert' performance which includes a couple of songs that remain unrecorded to this day in the shape of 'S.O.S.' and 'Rest In Peace'. An indication of where the band's second album – but first full studio recording – may have taken them. Listen and wonder....
