Denim And Leather (2009 Remaster)

EMI’s campaign of expanded Saxon remasters continues with the band’s fourth studio album, Denim And Leather. Originally released on the Carrere label in 1981, the album catches the band at an early commercial and creative peak, featuring the classic singles ‘Princess Of The Night’, ‘Never Surrender’ and their tribute to their appearance at the first Castle Donington Festival, ‘And The Bands Played On’. The album now includes the Nigel Thomas remix of ’20,000 Ft available on CD for the first time, plus the otherwise unavailable ‘Bap Shoo Ap’ (recorded at the Monsters Of Rock Festival in 1980), both of which were originally b-sides of the now highly collectable ‘Never Surrender’ double seven inch single. Also included are no less than seven live tracks recorded on the 1981 Denim And Leather tour.

1. Princess Of The Night
2. Never Surrender
3. Out Of Control
4. Rough And Ready
5. Play It Loud

Power And The Glory (2009 Remaster)

This expanded edition of Saxon’s fifth studio album features the singles ‘Power And The Glory’, in addition to its b-side, an exclusive live version of ‘Denim And Leather’, plus ‘Nightmare’ and its b-side, ‘747 (Stangers In The Night)’ (live). The album is also expanded with a previously unreleased version of the hit single ‘Suzie Hold On’, originally produced by Jeff Glixman for potential inclusion on the album. Before going into the studio, Saxon would often enter a “demo” studio in Doncaster to work on early versions of the proposed songs. Included here are eight such demos, including alternate version of ‘Redline’, ‘Midas Touch’ and the title track, as well as the much rarer ‘Turn Out The Lights’, ‘Stand Up And Rock’ and ‘Saturday Night’.

Crusader (2009 Remaster)

Crusader, released in 1984, was produced by Kevin Beamish at Sound City in Los Angeles (a far cry from their South Yorkshire roots!). According to singer Biff Byford, “We were trendsetters back then. Today, everybody from Trivium onwards dresses like knights going to the crusades, and writes lyrics about it. But back then it was virtually unheard of for a metal band to do anything like that.” As well as previously unavailable demo versions of the album’s ‘A Little Bit of What You Fancy’, ‘Sailing To America’, a cover of The Sweet’s ‘Set Me Free’ and the title track, this edition now includes the rare tracks ‘Borderline’ and ‘Helter Skelter’.

1. The Crusader Prelude
2. Crusader
3. A Little Bit Of What You Fancy
4. Sailing To America
5. Set Me Free
6. Just Let Me Rock
7. Bad Boys (Live To Rock N’ Roll)
8. Do It All For You
9. Rock City
10. Run For Your Lives
BONUS TRACKS:
11. Borderline
12. Helter Skelter
13. Crusader
14. A Little Bit Of What You Fancy (demo) (PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED)
15. Sailing To America (demo) (PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED)
16. Set Me Free
17. Just Let Me Rock
18. Do It All For You

15. Ride Like The Wind (Monitor Mix)
16. For Whom The Bell Tolls (Monitor Mix)

Saxon’s melodic ninth studio album, Destiny, saw the band go for a more polished route than their grittier, New Wave Of British Heavy Metal roots. Opening with what at the time was a surprising take on Christopher Cross’s ‘Ride Like The Wind’, this edition is expanded with the addition of the 12” mix of radio friendly rock ballad ‘I Can’t Wait Anymore’, as well as its respective b-sides ‘Broken Heroes’ and ‘Gonna Shout’, both recorded live in Madrid. This set also includes a live take of ‘Rock The Nations’ recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon, which originally appeared as the b-side to ‘Ride Like The Wind’, plus two previously unreleased early monitor mixes.

Danke für die stetige Info. Ich hab jetzt mal die Remasters von Crusader und Strong Arm Of The Law auf die Wanted-Liste gesetzt, gibt es ja wirklich günstig. Nach „Rock The Nations“ hab ich eine Weile gesucht, aber deinen Hinweis übersehen, dass die erst ab Februar kommt. Ohnehin kein echtes Highlight, aber eine Kindheitserinnerung.
