Tracklist side A:
- IRON MAIDEN - Sanctuary
Their 'token RnR song' here in a different version from the singles (though probably rereleased on later Maiden-comps many times over..) - SLEDGEHAMMER - Sledgehammer
Theme-song & Greatest Hit from this mighty fine band, sounding like Saxon at their fastest. Different from both 7" and LP version. - E.F. BAND - Fighting For Rock And Roll
Without a doubt the greatest track ever from this Swenglish act. Energy overload! Best song on the comp bar "Wrathchild".
Worst career move in NWOBHM history? A slow blues for music history's garbage dump.- PRAYING MANTIS - Captured City
Another Best Song Ever from a classic band. Melodic yet unwimpy HM. Different to "Soundhouse Tapes" version.
Tracklist side B:
- ETHEL THE FROG - Fight Back
The #1 Hit Parade continues. Great song a bit more steelclad than most of their other stuff. - ANGEL WITCH - Baphomet
Clearly shows how brutal and ahead of their time they were. One of their heaveist tracks.. - IRON MAIDEN - Wrathchild
Different from "Killers" LP version. - SAMSON - Tomorrow Or Yesterday
Slow, bluesy ballad w/ the odd quasi-metallic riff. Different to "Survivors" LP version but later featured as a bonus track on the CD reissue. - NUTZ - Bootliggers
Sound like the heaviest song off the repertoire of a more HR-oriented act. Not bad boogie-metal.
