Elixir To Start Skol Records’ Series Of The Replicas Of The NWOBHM Singles

Elixir

SKOL RECORDS proudly presents the first release in the series of the CD replicas of the legendary NWoBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal) singles: ELIXIR “Treachery (Ride Like The Wind)”, which will be out on January 30, 2016.

 

The debut single of the London based Heavy Metallers was originally recorded and released in 1985, and includes two songs: the title track, which became the band’s ultimate classic, and which was later re-recorded for the legendary “The Son Of Odin” LP from 1986, and the rare song “Winds Of Time”, which also appeared on the demo tape which the band released in 1985. Both songs from the debut single have never been released together in a CD format.

 

Each CD release in the Skol Records’ series of the replicas of the original NWoBHM singles will be limited to only 500 copies, will include original cover artwork and layout design, like the original single released back in the day, and will be available at a special, low, fan-friendly price. Coming out next in the series: OVERDRIVE “On The Run”, ARAGORN “Black Ice” and others.

About Louise Swift

I first went to a gig in 1981, Gillan at Leeds University. I've been a regular gig goer ever since. I haven't kept count of how many gigs I've been to over the intervening years, but it's a lot! My favourite bands are AC/DC then, in no particular order, Anti-Nowhere League, Slaughter and the Dogs, Towers of London and Dirt Box Disco. I tend to like Glam/Punk and rude offensive lyrics, not sure what that says about me but as Animal would say 'So What!' The question was recently put to me - did I write for any online publications? My reply - No, but I'd like to! Planetmosh was suggested and I found myself offering to review Aces High Festival. Easy peasy I thought! Well not quite, if a jobs worth doing it's worth doing well! I had sixteen bands to research. I found I actually enjoyed that and it kept me too busy to be making lunatic comments on Facebook! ;) Then I felt a bit inadequately qualified. I mean, who am I to comment on others, when my musical expertise extends to being able to play a mean Greensleeves on the recorder and a passable Annie's song on the flute! Haven't picked up either instrument for years! What I do have, however, is over 30 years of experience as a gig goer, so I can comment on what I like and what I don't! It's only my opinion and, if I don't like a band it doesn't mean they are bad, just not to my own liking. I admire anyone who has the guts to get up on that stage and have a go!
