Taking cue from the do-it-yourself attitude of their country's punk
movement, Britain's up-and-coming heavy metal bands that comprised
the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) were not content to
wait for record labels to come knocking. Instead, they took to
issuing their own music, typically in the form of 7 inch singles
but also 12s and full-length album, many indie, some on small
labels, and some on the major labels smart enough to get on board
(essentially EMI and MCA). Martin Popoff, writer of more record
reviews than anybody in history across all genres), has undertaken
the task of documenting virtually every record large and small from
heavy metal's most fabled period (beginning essentially in `79 with
a hard stop at 1983) providing catalogue information, mini reviews
as only he can do, plus a gob of thumbnails of those wonderful 7"
picture sleeves and LP covers. Additional features: * Includes
hundreds of rare 45 picture sleeve and album cover images. * Every
record rated out of 10. * Layout designed so that LPs are
distinguished from 7", 10" and 12" singles/EPs. * Label, year of
release and catalogue number for almost every entry. * Two
appendices, displaying all 9's and 10's for singles as opposed to
LPs.
