Recorded on the 27th of May 1984 at the Osaka Castle Band Shell. Subtitled "5th Japan Heavy Metal Fantasy", so presumably the 5th installment of a Japanese HM festival captured live. I'm not aware of any other volumes or recordings from the years before or after and I'm fairly certain this album is not part of a series. Inbetween the songs an American(?) host of unknown (i.e. uncredited) identity is presenting the bands. An affordable and solid introduction to the peak of the FWOJHM, where most bands shine with some of their heaviest material of their career. Its one flaw would be the lack of some "Weird Japan"-material to make things more interresting... Gatefold sleeve and 4-page insert w/ track list and lyrics. |
