Description

TITAN: "East wind, West wind" & "Losing the fight"


A fantastic single by Titan from Birmingham, England. They were formed in 1979 and only together for a short time. Some members later became The Handsome Beasts.


Recorded by WILD DOG DOG-26 UK 1980 7" (not issued in ps)

It's reputed only ~100 copies were made. This is a great and very rare NWOBHM single.

I bought the single with a few other records in the UK a number of years ago and didn't realise how rare it was until this last week.
