A hot selection of hand-picked, devastatingly heavy, live tracks from the early UK metal scene. A wonderful barrage of molten riffs and screeching vocals provided by Welsh legends Budgie, a couple of Judas Priest scorchers from the important crossover year of '73 with both Atkins and Halford at the helm, plus Glenn Tipton's ferocious pre-Priest proto-metal outfit Flying Hat Band, a twelve minute UFO meteorite from 1970, a stunning new Hackensack discovery and three historical Uriah Heep tracks recorded in San Bernardino in early '72 featuring the white-hot bass playing of Mark Clarke (ex-Colosseum). 77 minutes of relentless proto-metal forged in fire.
