Description

One not to be missed for heavy metal fans. This mint condition album was privately  pressed on a run of only 500 copies and its rarity cannot be emphasised enough. It has only been on a deck once and the sound quality is perfect. This limited pressing is naturally a first pressing with A1/B1 matrix.
Warrior were a one off - having made this excellent album as their first and only venture into the recording studios . For reasons best known to themselves this Derbyshire based band produced no further albums and very little is known about them. Working an area of the English Midlands they were quite content to play live gigs in pubs and clubs,  where heavy metal had a tremendous following,  from their legion of leather clad biker fans and other enthusiasts. Their style was brilliant and this stereo production is a gem that shouldn't be missed. The band comprised : Dave Hewitt (vocals); Steve Allsopp (lead and harmony guitar); Mick Bannister ( rhythm and harmony guitar) ; Kev Barsby ( bass drums) and Barry Bingham (drums). The chance to get another copy of of this album in such beautiful condition will be a virtual impossibility....so don't let it pass you by if you are a serious heavy metal collector.
