Saxon - Power and the Glory (1983) (17-track Remaster)
Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1983 release including nine bonus tracks. Power & The Glory was Saxon's fifth studio album overall and featured the singles 'Power And The Glory' plus 'Nightmare'. The album is expanded with a two B-sides, a previously unreleased version of the hit single 'Suzie Hold On', originally produced by Jeff Glixman for potential inclusion on the album plus eight demos. including alternate version of 'Redline', 'Midas Touch' and the title track, as well as the much rarer 'Turn Out The Lights', 'Stand Up And Rock' and 'Saturday Night'. EMI. 2009.
Iron Maiden may be the best known band from the legendary New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) scene, and rightly so, but for a time Saxon was a close second. Actually, once Maiden acquired Bruce Dickinson and took on the larger world stage, it was Saxon that best embodied the sound and spirit of the NWOBHM scene. The speed, the frantic energy, the "denim and leather" attitude - Saxon had all that and then some. Originally released in 1983, Power and the Glory was Saxon's fifth album, and the first to feature new drummer Nigel Glocker. Saxon was riding a wave of popularity from their previous album (1982's Denim & Leather), and they stuck to that winning formula with Power and the Glory. It's another hard-charging, take no prisoners metal album that splits time between all-out rockers ("Redline", "This Town Rocks"), slower-paced (but no less powerful) compositions ("Nightmare", "The Eagle Has Landed") and titanic metal anthems ("Power and the Glory"). I still prefer the less polished Wheels of Steel and Strong Arm of the Law, but Saxon was obviously getting better at their craft with each release, and Power and the Glory is just an all-around impressive heavy metal album. Power and the Glory remains one of Saxon's finest albums, and is a classic British metal album in every sense of the word. No Saxon collection is complete without it, and it's an album that just about any fan of classic heavy metal should check out. Edition Notes - EMI reissued Power and the Glory (along with the rest of the early Saxon albums) in 2009. EMI has been responsible for some of the best-sounding classic hard rock reissues lately (see: Whitesnake, UFO, MSG and the Scorpions), and their Saxon reissues do not disappoint. In addition to the digitally remastered sound, the reissue of Power and the Glory features expanded liner notes by Classic Rock Magazine's Malcolm Dome and a whopping nine bonus tracks, more than doubling the original album's length. The first bonus track is a live version of "Denim and Leather" (from the Power and the Glory single), the next is a previously unreleased alternate version of "Suzie Hold On" and the remaining tracks are demos. Between the remastered sound, liner notes and bonus tracks, there are plenty of reasons to replace your old version of Power and the Glory.
PS - When you line up the spines of the EMI Saxon reissues they form the Saxon logo and the Wheels of Steel cover icon. I'm a total geek for stuff like that! ...J. Gaines
