Saxon - Rock The Nations (CD)

Rock the Nations is the eighth studio album by heavy metal band Saxon released in 1986. - Saxon, over the decades have gone from being pioneers of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, to becoming one of the most successful UK rock acts of all time. The truth, though, is that Saxon have always transcended trends and eras. From 1979's 'Saxon' album to new album 'Thunderbolt', the band have enjoyed considerable success. Five Top 40 albums in the UK, with four Top 20 singles. And they were similarly successful in other parts of the world as well. It's no wonder their influence spread across the globe, and played a crucial role in the way we look at hard rock and heavy metal today. On 13th October 1986 Saxon released their eighth studio album 'Rock The Nations'. Recorded at Wisseloord Studios, Hilversum in the Netherlands by Gary Lyons. Biff Byford, who had incidentally begun his career as a singer/bassist, recorded all the bass parts on the album, however Paul Johnson is credited on the album as he joined before the album was released. Rock The Nations also features the unlikely guest of Elton John on piano on the tracks 'Northern Lady' and 'Party Til You Puke'. This version features radio edits of the singles from the album, some live B-Sides and three songs recorded by the BBC from Saxon's set at 1986's, Reading Festival. Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the British Heavy Metal band's 1986 album. Includes bonus tracks, original lyrics, rare photos, and memorabilia.
