TYGERS OF PAN TANG - Live In The UK 1981 - FRA Verne Limited Press - LISTEN - VERY RARE

A limited, 52-minute black vinyl, limited to 500 copies, released in a beautiful laminated sleeve with several rare early photos of the band. This truly excellent album features excerpts from two superb and excellent-sounding concerts from the period of the band's second LP, "Spellbound", from 1981. The brilliant live performance for the BBC (on the first side) is almost the best NWOBHM I have heard. Part of the first side and the entire second part is taken up by a 35-minute performance in Nottingham, from April 1981. This is playing with two lead guitars - with John Sykes (later in Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake) and Robb Weir! Two other recordings from the BBC concert ("Slave To Freedom" and "Raised On Rock") appeared on the official and fairly easily available 12" maxi single "Don't Stop By", so they are not included here. A must! Condition: MINT/NEW, unsealed. (JL)
