HEAVY LOAD - Full Speed At High Level - EU Press - LISTEN - VERY RARE

A limited, almost faithful replica (in a gatefold sleeve instead of a single one - with lyrics and enlarged photos inside) of the Swedish original, worth 350 euros, of the sensational debut by a Swedish heavy rock band known mainly from the somewhat later and quite popular (and in metal circles cult) albums "Death Or Glory" (1982) and "Stronger Than Evil" (1984). The debut, recorded in 1978, was until recently known to rather few listeners, since it was released by the band in a run of only 1000 copies on its own label and it is hardly surprising that in collecting circles it was and is regarded as the Holy Grail of pre-metal heavy rock - for musical reasons and also purely collecting ones! It is without doubt one of the heaviest and sharpest records of the 70s - inspired by the work of Black Sabbath, early Judas Priest, and also the Swedish Neon Rose; close to the work of somewhat later bands from the NWOBHM circle, but at the same time not free of clear progressive influences from the early 70s (Wishbone Ash). NOTE! The sound is slightly better, more souped-up than on an average-pressed original! It is an absolute MUST for every fan of heavy sounds!
