I think this album for me still stands as the peak of the nwobhm, ok so iron maiden went on to be bigger but saxon were the band,for the most of us anyway!,dobbie's driving bass,the twin guitars of oliver and quinn and pete gills manic drumming and biffs brilliant songwriting/singing and boys own approach to the fans, great stuff the prevoius review pretty much commented well enough on the tracks and re mastering,so enough said,love the bbc sassions,most of these were available on 'saxon bbc sessions' bar 747, but great session from 1982 all the same,and with the mighty nigel glocker firmly in the band.
Get yourself a copy!! these re masters have been long overdue..

The saxon remasters are long overdue and i've anticipated this moment for some time,as with the recent MSG reissues its great to relive your youth.The original album was always a classic: hungry years/dallas 1pm/heavy metal thunder and the title track all genuine metal classics,personal fav taking your chances never quite recieved the same adulation but its a belter all the same,the rest were always filler as far as im concerned and those thoughts havent changed with this new edition,the remaster has to my ears(30 years of concerts damaged as they are) given a rather harsh tinny sound to some tracks especially the intro to h.m. thunder and this is repeated across the 3 new discs,the packaging is to be blunt pathetic,a crappy little booklet,maybe the deep purple remaster's series booklets have spoiled me but really emi could and should have tried harder,however the bonus tracks are interesting 30 spread across the 3 discs,of varying quality.this disc has a radio session i didnt even know existed so thats a plus,highlight being the then unreleased eagle has landed-absolutely fantastic,dallas 1pm being a close second,the rest of the bonus tracks are alternate mixes/versions and are a worthy inclusion with mandy being a rather interesting take on sixth form girls with biffs slightly different vocal style,still for all my reservations about the packaging and sound the music still shines thru and its a well deserverd 4 stars(would have been 4.5 if i was allowed)

I just want to add my voice with a 5 star review. I am 43 and this came out when I was young - in the mean time I have expanded my musical tastes and got many hundred more metal albums ... but I still listen to this one regularly, it is in my view a core piece of work from a band at their peak. Although they had several more peaks afterwards (e.g. "Solid Ball of Rock"), and they are still around ;-). Get this now if you don't have it yet, this is history.
