NWOBHM is a God, whose followers continue to multiply. “The Biblical”
excavations in the gender go ahead to lighten its non-polished pearls. This
release is such a thing.
In 2010 the reformed band re-recorded songs from
its first album „Wild Cat“ (1980) and made an EP „The Wildcat Sessions“ that has a
restricted pressing amongst the fan clubs of TYGERS OF PAN TANG. In 2011 the exercise is
repeated with songs from the second album „Spellbound“ (1981), and the ЕР „The Spellbound Sessions“. The Polish label with questionable
reputation presents exactly these two EPs targeting wider circle of
listeners.
The Rock
'n'
Roll approach of TYGERS OF PAN TANG did not lift them during the
first years of the boom of the NWOBHM. The re-recording
itself of the old songs did not result in grand improving of the sound. The
particular stress is on the return to the essence and the braver
performance of the Rock 'n' Roll identity of the old boys.
Without
being something exceptional this CD is the necessary release that presents
us the history of the NWOBHM, and the
history of TYGERS OF PAN TANG. This is a pleasant for listening
album from the times when it was not necessary to make up your face to play
heavy Rock
'n' Roll!
