Now In Session LP 1982 - THE CORROSEUM

Now In Session LP 1982
Label:	Downtown Radio	#:	DTR SC1	Country:	Ireland
Info:	Out of all the local UK comps with a mere 1-off, on-topic NWOBHM track, I'm fairly confident this one is the most expensive and sought-after, for obvious reasons. Very little info can however be found on the origin of the recording in question. McMillan's Bible merely mentions it in the Sweet Savage discography list, and for unknown reasons he missed out on including it in the Local band-compilations section of the book.

OUTCASTS - Programme Love
Cool'n'ballsy post-punk rocker opener.
P.45 - Teenage Love Song
Punkish but mellow power pop.
SWEET SAVAGE - Lady Of The Night
We could not have asked for a more RAGING, top-NWOBHM ripper than this from an old obscure UK comp - or otherwise! Metal History in the making. While I doubt it's from the same session, this could very well have been the 3rd track from the legendary, proto-Speed Metal debut. Unlike 99% of other classic bands from this era, Sweet Savage have yet to have made a Complete Demos & Sessions DLP-type reissue, so this track is still (as of spring 2025) not officially reissued, some 00's unofficial CDR products not included.
SPITTIN' IMAGE - Too Good To Talk To
HR/aor-adjecent, keyboard-infused rock.
RICHMOND HILL - Total Control
Melodic rock.

PROTEX - I Wonder Why
Power Pop rocker.
MOONDOGS - That's What Friends Are For
Stompy post-punk/classic rocker.
PSYCHO - No Return
Catchy, melodic punk rock.
SAIGON - Crackin' Up
Inoffensive new wave rock.
PERFECT CRIME - Poison Noise
I know what you're thinking, but no this is pretty dull, early 80's semi-altero soft rock.
