GLORY’ AND ‘CRUSADER’ AFTER THE FIRST THREE RELEASES (‘SAXON’, ‘WHEELS OF STEEL’

WEEK!
Saxon,
over the decades have gone from being pioneers of the New Wave Of British Heavy
Metal, to becoming one of the most successful UK rock acts of all time. The
truth, though, is that Saxon have always transcended trends and eras. From
1979's 'Saxon' album to new album ‘Thunderbolt’, the band have enjoyed
considerable success. Five Top 40 albums in the UK, with four Top 20 singles.
And they were similarly successful in other parts of the world as well. It's no
wonder their influence spread across the globe, and played a crucial role in the
way we look at hard rock and heavy metal today.
DENIM
AND LEATHER
Saxon’s
fourth album, Denim And Leather was originally released on 5th
October 1981. It was recorded at Aquarius Studios in Geneva. Arguably their most
successful record to date it spawned the classic singles ‘Princess Of The
Night’, ‘Never Surrender’ and the song ‘And The Band’s Played On’, which was
inspired by their appearance at the inaugural Monsters Of Rock festival in 1980.
This edition contains the B Sides of the ‘Never Surrender’ single and seven live
tracks recorded on the Denim And Leather tour of 1981.
