DIAMOND HEAD The MCA Years (2009 UK 38-track digitally
remastered 3-CD album set which collates the output of the
NWOBHM pioneers during their years as major label recording
artists. Their first album for MCA, 1982's 'Borrowed Time' set
out tostrengthen their fast-rising status and as such,
showcased much of what was finest about the band – past and
present; including 'Am I Evil?', 'Lightning To The Nations', 'In
The Heat Of The Night' and 'Don't You Ever Leave Me'. The
follow-upalbum 'Canterbury' [1983] was a fine rocker in the
mould of earlier Diamond Head material and spawned the
single 'Makin' Music' & 'Out Of Phase'. Completing the set is a
rare collection of the band's live work from the period
recorded by the BBC and showcases classic performances
from the 22nd Reading Rock Festival in '82 and tracks from
the BBC In-Concert series from the same year. Complete with
a 16-page picture booklet containing previously un-seen
photographs with comprehensive story of the album sleeve
notes, housed in a custom stickered clamshell box)
